Doug's Pizza

Doug's Pizza sits next to a hair salon and a laundromat in a strip mall where dreams go to die. Yet, inside glory burns! The smell hits first: molten cheese, lightly scorched crust and basil. You don't expect salvation from a place like this, but Doug's delivers it in a cardboard box. Doug, the working class hero behind the counter has the thousand-yard stare of a man who's seen too much dough, too many last minute orders before closing time. He slides over the box like it's contraband. I open it in the car to find divine clarity. The cheese stretches like electric taffy. The chewy crust crackles. The sauce tastes like somebody's grandmother still believes in God and tomatoes slow-cooked for hours. It's beautiful, and profoundly American -- the kind of pizza that makes you believe the universe still knows mercy.

Cozy food oasis, most flavorful subs/pizzas in town, great value/service. You want the absolute best sub in Medina? Or a classic pizza? It's made at Doug's Pizza, a virtual hole-in-the-wall operation in a tiny strip mall on the outskirts of town that all the locals know about. Totally ignore the corporate-run, overpriced fast food chains and other restaurants along Maple Ridge Rd. Doug delivers such awesome food value he doesn't even need to advertise. He's a hardworking machine with a ready smile, and the nicest guy you'll ever find behind a food prep counter. For a healthy and filling lunch, I highly recommend Doug's All American sub (the whole size) featuring quality turkey, roast beef and ham. I get it with provolone cheese and ALL the side toppings plus mayo, oil & vinegar and a little salt & pepper. The generous portions spill out & you can barely close the sub sandwich! Doug's pizzas are still among the tastiest in Medina, with a recipe going all the way back to the 1970s when this local spot first opened up as Mary's Sub Shop. The fish fry here is also consistently good, and comes with freshly made cole slaw and awesome golden fries.

Doug makes a fantastic pizza pie ! Chicken wings delicious and BIG , no wimpy small wings here . Former Rochester native moved south and I made it a priority to come get some pizza from Doug during a visit. Check his place out !

They have great food, great prices, and they are very quick. I would definitely recommend anyone go here included as a picture of the calzone that I recently got from here.

Wrapper should say Dangerous! Attempted to finish, couldn't stop. Small shop, big flavor.

After my son's basketball game, we decided to try Doug's pizza. I called and ordered a large cheese and pepperoni pizza. We really liked the pizza. His sauce had an Italian seasoning flavor to it, which we liked. The pizza was sauced with just the right amount, and the crust was a thicker crust, which I liked because I love the thick crust pizzas. We will definitely order again the next time we are in the neighborhood. I'm looking forward to trying other food options from the menu.
