I love this pizza! I'm always searching for great Sicilian style like I grew up on. Now this isn't the pizza from my childhood - it's even better. They not only have Sicilian, they have NY style too, so everyone is happy. Pizza isn't the only thing served here they have - Chicken Strips, Fries, Starters, Salads & even a display case of Desserts. Dough Counter is located in the University Hills Plaza, with plenty of parking. The inside is cute, with a checkerboard floor, booths, tables & pendant lighting. And... stacks & stacks of pizza boxes, that actually add to the ambiance & decor, as well as background music & a big screen TV. There is also outdoor seating & a separate party room. We arrived on a late Sunday afternoon & was surprised to see many of the tables filled as well as the party room. A friendly employee took our order at the counter & gave us a number to place on the table, they bring the food to you. Other than that everything is self service - plates, silverware, fountain drinks/water & seasonings/condiments. The pizzas were wood fired, with deliciously crispy & crunchy crusts. I really enjoyed that there wasn't a ton of sauce too. The NY style came with tomato sauce & mozzarella cheese. This was good but the Sicilian was the star...absolutely wonderful! It's a light pan pizza (5-day rise dough), with spicy cupped pepperoni, nicely balanced with brick cheese & a dollop of ricotta cheese plus a hot honey drizzle on top. Memorable, crave-able & delectable!

I got a small triple threat sicilian style pizza to go. I love how generous they were with the sauce and liked the marinara the most. I feel like the vodka sauce got a bit lost in the other flavors but was still very tasty. The bread was super fluffy and light and I definitely think the size is worth the price. My only complaint was that it was super salty so I was only able to eat a bit at a time.

Such a cute and clean store! Was empty around 2 pm on a Saturday. Loved the loaded baked potato pizza we had! So yummy and the crust was still perfect with all the toppings. Wish the fries were crispy but that's my only complaint. We requested bacon on only half of the pizza. They did a great job making sure that the slices were perfect and the half with bacon didn't have any on it! Service was so nice as well! Would definitely return!

I wish I had caught the name of the manager because she was so helpful and knowledgeable! As someone with celiac, I'm pretty careful where I visit and what I eat. Dough Counter has some excellent information on their website regarding our gluten-free precautions, and their food is delightful. I tried the Sicilian pizza on my second visit time and the first time I had the nuggets and fries. I highly recommend! The pizza is fluffy and doughy - if you're looking for the classic flat bread pizza, this is probably not your move. But if you're open to trying something new I would recommend this place!

I was in the neighborhood around lunch time and remembered Dough Counter had slice specials from 11a-3pm. You walk,m in and order at the counter then they bring it out to you. Two patios, one facing Colorado then another on the Panera side. I got the simple salad which was enough for two meals and a Sicilian slice, again, enough for two meals. Everything was absolutely spot on and I love supporting local business! Props to whomever is in charge of the playlist, the music is fire!

The best gluten free pizza place that I've found! It's on the pricier side but worth it for what you get. Anyone looking for truly good gluten free pizza should check it out. The other food options though were really underwhelming. Chicken strips were very small and not great. It was also a 40+ min wait for the food to come out which was frustrating. It seemed like they were really backed up with a lot of delivery orders but it was also the weekend around dinner time. Not sure what the wait time is during other times during the day/week. Overall would go back for the pizza but be prepared for a wait.

Wow - this is the best pizza I've had while living in Denver! I have had multiple cheese pies from here, along with trying many of their specialty flavors, and everything I have had has been incredible. For the plain cheese pizza, this is easily the closest thing to an authentic New York-style slice I have had in Denver. I also love Sicilian pizza, and this is definitely top notch. I am not one to deviate from a plain pie, but the specialty pies here are amazing - especially the Triple Threat and Chicken Parm. They have amazing gluten-free and celiac safe options which is incredible for pizza. I did try some and it is easily the best gluten free pizza I have ever tried. My only gripe would be the location. There is usually a lot of traffic in the area which can make getting the pizza a 30+ minute ordeal which might not be hot be ideal especially if doing take-out. Definitely recommend trying this spot for pizza. Great options and great taste! Will definitely return.

We came her because I saw an gluten free Instagram influencer (CollegeCeliacKC) did a video on their gluten free Sicilian pizza. The pizza was so good! I haven't had much pizza with a crust thicker (or fluffier than) a cracker since I had to become gluten free, so this was a real treat. It reminded me of deep dish pizza but more crust forward instead of sauce and topping heavy. It's an informal atmosphere but they had cute booths and decor. The staff were helpful and attentive.

All I can say is OMG.... OMG...... OMG. You had us at brick cheese! The Dough Counter is a family run business with Samantha, Marco, Kristy, and Zack. They have the most incredible assortment of salads, NY style pizza, Sicilian pizza, chicken tenders (gluten free) and fries. Their dough ferments for days, giving it that amazing taste. All of their sauces are made in house. Zach is the genius behind the green chili bread. Honestly, I wanted to push everyone away from that tray so that I could have it all myself. This family owned and run business is truly a labor of love. Nothing is made without intense testing and tasting. They have considered everyone including all of our gluten free friends too. The gluten free dough is fluffy and tasty, Dough Counter has great chicken tenders and all of their dipping sauces are made in house (too many to name). Everyone loves a salad with their pizza (okay I do) and they have several great choices made with fresh ingredients and homemade dressing. These include cobb salad, house salad and mandarin orange salad (yep that throw back original with the crispy ramen noodles). Next a great assortment of both NYC and Sicilian style pies (with brick cheese for all of you east coasters that know what I'm talkin' about). Okay.. no drooling on you screen but here is the list of pies I got to sample. I really could not pick a favorite, but I love the BBQ, Big Mac and the hot honey! NYC Style: BBQ with Bacon, Chicken, Pineapple, Red Onion, Fresh Jalapeno, Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Tangy BBQ Supreme with Crumbled Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Ground Beef, Mushrooms, Green Pepper, Onion Pesto veggie with Feta, Mozzarella, Basil Pesto, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Pepperoncini, Green Chiles Loaded potato with Mozzarella, Cheddar, Bacon, French Fries, Scallion & Hot Jalapeño Crema Sicilian Style: Cheese Grandma's with Marinara, Brick Cheese, Oregano Hot honey Pepperoni with Cupping Pepperoni, Ricotta, Grandma's Marinara, Brick Cheese, Hot Honey Drizzle Triple Threat with Striped with Grandma's Marinara, Vodka Sauce, and Basil Pesto, Brick Cheese Big Mac with Ground Beef, Onion, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Shredded Lettuce, Burger-style Sauce (yes.... even better than the real deal). Vodka chicken parm with Chicken Strips, Vodka Sauce, Brick Cheese, Grandma's Marinara, Oregano, Parmesan Now.... I'm sure you are full just reading this.... so, run do not walk to Dough Counter. Order, tell Sam, Marco, Kristy or Zack that you heard it here on Yelp.... support a great family business that loves what they do. Plus, they deliver in a 5 mile radius.
