Doctor Dough

After building a strong local following through pop-ups and residencies, Sonay Ali has opened Doctor Dough’s first permanent pizzeria on Devonshire Road. The focus is on New York-style pies, made distinctive by a dough crafted to be lighter and easier to digest than more traditional versions.

A notable detail here is the house tomato sauce, simmered before baking for depth and richness—a technique not widely seen among London’s pizza spots. Doctor Dough keeps its menu succinct with classic options and offers large-format 18-inch pizzas such as classic New York cheese or a vodka pie, underscoring its commitment to familiar, straightforward recipes. The Chiswick address marks Doctor Dough’s evolution from an Instagram sensation to a local fixture.
