D.P. Dough — Restaurant in Chicago

I was here yesterday around 9 pm. The day they opened. The employees that remained were devastated and trying to console one another. They said the day had started wonderfully. Plenty of business. Excited customers looking to enjoy a small reminiscent taste of their college days. That was, of course, until Tony Gustin arrived. It started casually. Just a Work Zone and a Loading Zone. Those were eaten calmly and quietly, alone at his table. Then a return trip to the counter for a Sports Zone. Before the Sports Zone was ready, Tony decided he’d probably be having another, and instead of waiting, he would order it now and have the OH! Zone to bring home. At least that’s what those poor dough artists had hoped. When the Sports Zone was gone, significantly quicker than the first two, Tony was back at the counter, aggressively questioning where his OH! Zone was. The employees tried to explain that it still had time to cook. Tony wasn’t having it. They noticed a crazed look in his eye, and it soon began to take over his entire being. “Tony want Roni Zoni.” He snarled The cashier was stunned. Did he just order another Zone? The cashier thought it might be for the best to not allow this order, and attempted to politely explain. That’s when she noticed. She was horrified. Tony had the DP Dough App (now available in the App Store). And he had ordered a plethora of Zones. Starting with 3 Roni Zonis. The order was massive. It included at least one of every Zone with the exception of the Spinner Zone. There were Wingz, Dunkers, Tots, Stix… everything. A dough artist back in the Dough Zone (kitchen) had noticed what was happening at this point. He had heard horror stories from a former doughlleague that had worked in Bloomington, IL the night of Doughmageddon there. He assumed the stories were exaggerated, but when he witnessed Tony gaining access to the new restaurant’s speaker system and blasting Kenny Loggins’ Highway to the Danger Zone at full volume, he knew this was the real deal. He knew what he had to do. He bagged up every Zone he could fit into a 50 gallon garbage bag. He gave Tony the bag and extended one additional zone. Tony thoughtlessly devoured the unbagged Zone. He quickly realized it was his kryptonite, a Spinner Zone. His disgust with the meatless spinachy Zone immediately knocked him from his crazed state. He grabbed his garbage bag full of DP Dough high-quality food products and left. As quickly as it had started. It was over. Some Dough artists quit on the spot. Others knew they’d be connected for life because of what they had just endured together. They had done everything they could.

5 stars for the excellent service considering the recent...

Been meaning to try this place so I did some late night takeout from here. Staff was nice, but no one told me they didn’t have the cheese for my cheesy tots so I was bummed when I opened an order of plain tots when I was home. The cheese sticks were mid too for what I paid for all this, BUT the calzones made up for my disappointment over the apps. I had the ‘Twilight Zone’ which is Italian sausage, mozzarella, and Italian spices. It had a nice hint of spiciness to it that I loved and it was so much flavor and cheesy goodness. Also, I had the BBQ Chicken calzone that had breaded chicken and bacon tossed in bbq sauce and melted cheddar. I could have eaten a whole extra of this one because it was just that good. Definitely will have calzones from this place again. And the edible Reese’s Pieces cookie dough is fire. (I think I’ll pass on the appetizers next...

Ordered my calzone at 4:30pm and it’s now 6:10pm and the food still has not delivered. I called 2 times to check on the status and Sam sent me to the front where I sat on hold for 10+ mins. I called a 3rd time and reached the front and they told me the manager could give an update and sent me to wait on hold again. I called a 4th time and Sam answered again. I asked if I could speak to a manager and not get transferred to wait again. He claimed it was rush hour and to call back in 10 mins. I told him I had already waited on hold for 40 mins to talk to someone who could give me an idea when I would get my food. Finally frustrated I told Sam never mind and I would just never order from there again. I understand it may be a busy time but clearly there is some mismanagement happening as I’m still waiting 1hr 40 mins for food and no one is able to give...
