SoDough Square (SODO/South Downtown) — Restaurant in Orlando

Since this place opened, it has gotten a lot of hype. I'm sure Detroit style pizza existed in Orlando before SoDough, but this place really got it on a Lot of people's radars. And the name, SoDough in SoDo, it literally perfect. Along with just how photogenic the pizzas are, the hype writes itself.

So I show up here one day with some friends for a nice Saturday lunch. We get here, plenty of parking, enter, and start to browse the menu. One small downside was that you don't get to order with a person. They have out sourced that to some stupid screens, but hey, cost-effectiveness, I guess.

Looking at the menu, there are a perfect amount of pre-made specialty pizzas. Not too many, but the ones they have are varied. Everyone can find something they like. I with the build-your-own had more options, but they have the basics. Can't complain.

I chose the small Boblo Island Blues (Garlic parmesan sauce, brick cheese blend, blue cheese crumbles, diced chicken tenders, ranch drizzle, buffalo drizzle, green onion). This thing was wonderful. So much flavor can be packed into this thing with just a few, simple toppings.

Garlic from the sauce, that cheese that turns into the Perfect crust, a-la Detroit, good amount of chicken, and then the dueling drizzles that heat it all up and cool is all down, simultaneously. Add in that green onion for a pop of freshness, and you have a great pizza pie.

I also got the sample the Detroit Rob City (Detroit red sauce, pinched sausage, ezzo cup pepperoni, whipped ricotta, hot honey, fresh basil). This thing was even better than the pizza I got. My goodness. The combination of all those toppings with the hot honey just yelling at you so beautifully with every bite with that creamy ricotta, just perfect.

I actually got to try another pizza, but I won't go to much into that. The point is that the small pizzas are cut into four decent sized slices and are perfect for sharing. If you have enough friends, you can have four different slices, AKA a flight, which is optimal, I think.

So yea, overall, this place deserves all of its hype. It really is the bee's knees. The crust was crispy and chewy and delicious, the toppings were plentiful and of a high quality, and the portions were perfect. I'll be back, probably many times, before the end...

It takes a lot for me to give 5 stars for any place, let alone pizza. I'm a bit of a pizza nut to the extreme, and have been craving Detroit Style pizza for some time now and Conway and SODO lacks solid food options in general.

So far I've only had the Enforcer and I gotta tell you, I'm convinced this is the best pizza spot around. Highly impressed with the food taste and quality. Might sound dumb to some, but pizza is my jam, and SoDough marks the spot. Thankful this came around to our neighborhood.

Now on to the details! At the moment it's self ordering from a digital kiosk, which I thought is pretty neat. Only downside is that we waited about 20 minutes to order because some folks in front of us had no clue what they were doing at the kiosk, which I can see being an issue with non-tech folks, even with what I deem a "fairly simple" system. So prepare for somewhat of a wait if you end up behind someone who hasn't used the system before that maybe confused.

There was a TON of folks, and I'm guessing it's because word travels fast that this place is delicious. The staff are extremely good at their job in cranking out the food, so kudos to them, and I hope this place can maintain this quality in their peeps because they are detailed and quick.

It is the same owners as Tin & Taco, so the neat part is that there's an eating area if you want to "Dine-In" OR if you're party is split between tacos and pizza, you can all have both. Personally, I took mine home, and it was still very hot and fresh by the time I got back.

They are currently running on limited hours as the food is prepped in advance the day before, so when they run out, they run out. I suggest getting there as close to opening as possible, to ensure you get food AND because the parking does fill up very quickly and parking is limited.

All in all, this place is "worth the wait", if you can even call...

Not one to give many negative reviews, especially on Uber eat orders, but what a disappointment. This review wouldn't have been the first, as I had stopped there previously...

But let's talk about that experience a few months back. 8:57pm, half way through pressing buttons on my order and ready to pay, a guy comes from the back and says "we are closed". Now, there was no sign on the establishment so I didn't know they closed at 9pm. But they do. And despite them allowing me to come in, press buttons on my order, and almost about to pay (with other pizzas being made at the time), they bluntly declined my service.

Fast forward to today. I'm a fair guy, my reviews can safely vindicate that, and I wanted to give them a try. Well, you place an order and, wouldn't you be surprised, there is no notes section. I just wanted to ensure my extra cheese was extra Mozzarella, not extra ricotta. Not a terrible request since I'm paying for it. So I call them, ... Oh but wait, THEY DON'T ACCEPT CALLS. I had no way to verify my order was correctly received. Send them a message and they will get back to you in 48 hours.

Not only this but I paid $35 plus tip and got a cold pizza and cold cheesy bread (I'll blame Uber for that).

In the end, the pizza was decent, the cheesy bread was not that special and if you order, pay the 2 dollars for extra sauce because they only give you a 1.5 ounce cup of marinara.

Am I disappointed, yes. Will I order from there again, idk maybe. But your customer service is horrendous and the pizza isn't worth these...
