The beginnings of D.P. Dough can be traced back to Penny Haley's food truck debut at the 1983 Big E Fair in Springfield, MA. Penny and her son Dan sold calzones out of her food truck. Four years later, after witnessing the popularity of his mom's food truck calzones, Dan had the idea to open a retail and delivery location. The restaurant was unique in that it did not sell pizza. Thus, The Pizza Alternative was born! It was named D.P. Dough after Dan and Penny's initials.
When D.P. Dough began, we never could have imagined how our delicious dough recipe would become the catalyst for life long memories of nights out or hitting the books for students across the country. We are so thankful to continue that tradition in our current markets and welcome you to share this tradition with your community as we continue to grow.
