The strip is a common place for late-night eats and the heart of Tuscaloosa’s nightlife. DP Dough, a new calzone place has just opened up and is already gaining traction. Keep reading to learn more about DP Dough and what their all about.

How it started

Wp No Pizza Alabama, Calzone, Food, Tuscaloosa — Calzones are the pizza alternative at DP Dough (Ally Engleman / The Bama Buzz)

The food chain first launched in Amherst, Massachusettes. It was founded by Dan and his mom Penny in 1987. Dan and his mom believed calzones were just way better than just a slice of pizza. That’s why they opened DP Dough, DP standing for Dan and Penny, to satisfy students wanting a late-night snack.

College towns only

DP Dough doesn’t just set up shop anywhere. They take late-night bites seriously, and have locations in college towns all across the east coast, from Illinois to Florida.
