My husband and I are regulars at Dough & Brew for one main reason - THE PIZZA 🍕 we consider ourselves to be devotees of the Neapolitan-style pizza, and have frequented most of the local independent pizza joints, as well as some further afield. We happen to be based right up the road from Dough & Brew - lucky us! And it is our go-to eating spot when we have visitors staying with us.

The pizzas here are insanely good, and the selection of varieties and tasty topping combos are brilliant. If you are expecting Italian style toppings, D&B may not be for you. Their topping combos are more eclectic, creative and fresh - you'll see items like brie, buttermilk chicken, crayfish, pulled pork, caramelised onions and Mediterranean vegetables among others, with regular tantalizing specials that change every few weeks.

My husband has tried several of their pizzas, but his favourite is the Sir Winston. I always opt for the Cary, and have never once been disappointed! They have stiff competition in the form of RHM nearby and several Pizza hotspots in Leamington Spa....but somehow D&B remains in our top 3 pizza places in the whole of the UK (and we've eaten A LOT of good pizza).

Their dough has a perfect sourdough tang, whilst never being overpowering, and it's always cooked to perfection. D&B are generous with toppings and you know you are getting high quality ingredients as they source everything from the flour to the meat locally. I can't comment on the beers, but my husband always finds a pint he enjoys! He enjoyed their red and pale ales, and they're always good with recommending a good brew. We haven't tried many of their other food offerings (pizza devotees!) but our friends have raved about their burgers and brunch options.

The only thing we think that could be improved is that the seating on offer isn't always the greatest - sometimes you have to enjoy your meal from a barstool, which is not ideal! If you want a prime spot (esp on the weekend) you'd be wise to call or book online. They are definitely kid-friendly, and we've always found the staff to be chilled, friendly and accommodating. Ordering for collection or online has also always been straightforward for us, and they've always called us up if they expect delays on our order. Also, if you have a special request for a sporting match, they will do their best to set it up for you on their projector screen.

We highly recommend at least one visit to Dough & Brew if you are in the area, you won't regret it! 💯💯💯
