Doris Italian Market & Bakery

Dorris’ is one of few delis down here in FL that does it right. You walk in and are immediately greeted by the mouth-​watering aroma of fresh cheeses, spices, and baked goods. The prices aren’t spectacular, but you get what you pay for: QUALITY.
I’d rather give my money to Dorris’ than the big box stores. Support authenticity and quality. Paying 30 cents more for a mop handle is worth the cost versus not having fresh markets like these. Plus, you can actually find some fantastic deals here. See their prices on bulk, unprepared chicken breasts. Great for large families!
Try their prepared foods at the deli counter. Lots of great frozen dinners too. Great for those long workdays when you’ve got no energy to cook but hate «tv dinners».

This was my go to place for catering and special items. Than I had a party for my son it was for over 100 at Little Flower Church where my son had done his Eagle project. Also his project was adopted by the City of Hollywood for Make a Difference Day. So I ordered food from Doris’s spent $ 1,300 and charged my credit card the same week it got delivered to the church. However when they made the delivery they shorted me the Italian Cookies. I told the delivery person who ignored me and fled quickly. I went to the store to complain when I was returning the chafing dishes nothing. I wrote to the owners and no response. So I now go to Mimi’s on Johnson Street. So Doris’s you did me a favor you are dishonest however I found Mimi’s who’s food is better as well as they charge my credit card and the time of delivery for what I got delivered.

Everyone check your receipts for fraudulent add-​ons in the bakery department. Management stated this happens all the time as the scale/​pricing has a recall button so that must be the reason. So fix it!!! This has happened to us twice, how about you?

Love this store has all my Italian ingredients and then some. But its a bit pricey. Other then that great store friendly staff. Best food in town!

I love Doris’ Italian Market! I am blessed to live within walking distance of a DIM. The deli is always packed with fresh delicious food. I’m a regular for their lunch specials. I always go with an Italian hoagie. I can pretty much go down the list of all they have to offer, and tell you without a doubt it’s all amazing. They have a small clearance section in the produce department. You can get a package of 2 peppers, couple tomatos, and maybe some green beans or onions thrown in for $ 1. It’s cheap and you save something from going to waste. Gotta love it! Everyone is great, it’s nice to see the same people working at the same place, it shows that they enjoy working there. Thanks for everything, I’m actually going to walk over now to see if they sell bagels :)

I’ve been going to Doris Market for a few years now and they USED TO always have fresh delicious food in the prepared food case. They used to be 4 or 5 stars. The last few times I’ve bought the prepared foods, they were already bad by the next day or by that evening (and I went straight home after shopping there!). I don’t know if they are selling old food or something is wrong with their refrigerated case, but either way, it’s happened too many times. It’s a waste of money and such a disappointment to be hungry and anticipating a yummy meal, to then open the container and actually smell that the food is rotten! It’s a shame because there isn’t anything else like it in this neighborhood and they used to be so good. Examine and smell what you buy before leaving the store! Their produce and bakery items are usually pretty good, though.

Love Doris Food market… Great beef and prices are responsible… fresh fruits and vegetables… store is clean, friendly…

Great food with excellent portions! Catering options are fantastic, and they are delicious. Had the vegetable lasagna with Caesar salad, chicken stir fry with vegetable medley, and marinated mojo pork with twice baked potatoes and tossed salad. All were great. Delivery was a ways on time, and staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely using them again.

When the Green Farmers Market is closed, and there is little option, Doris in Hollywood is a good bet to find everything you need for an awesome prepared meal or to cook a meal. The one issue is that they have little to no Seafood, and that’s what we were planning to eat! So again great for everything else… but no Seafood section (had frozen stuff :()

One of my favorite joints down here in Hollywood. I went to school in the Bronx and since moving south I’ve really missed the neighborhood deli– until I found this place.
Very knowledgable staff and great service. Obviously all the meats and cold salads are awesome too.

I’ve always enjoyed shopping in Doris’ but my experience with their Deli dept was terrible. I bought a pound of turkey that was shredded and placed in a lump in my package. When I bought the food back, I was lectured by man in the deli dept who clearly didn’t know anything about service or professionalism. This ‘deli manager’(?) was unprofessional, rude and totally unaccommodating. Without even opening the package, this guy was making excuses about how all of their turkey falls apart. Give me a break! This guy was a total zip.
The one bright light was a young man named Eric who couldn’t have been more helpful and polite. I was give a full refund but not before I had to listen to the deli man try to explain his poor work. What a joke he was.
I’ve never given a bad review to anyone but this Deli Dept needs a rehab. Someone needs to speak to them about how food should be served.
I hope one of the owners of Doris reads this and speaks to their people, but Eric deserves a gold star.

I am so disappointed in the meat department at Doris Hollywood market. I was having a dinner party tonight and I got a couple of chicken yesterday for tonight party and when I opened the bag … OMG yuck the smell of the disgusting chickens routing in the plastic bad… grosss.
Just be careful when you want chicken for dinner, make sure you check them out it might save you a headache on your next dinner party.

I’m so upset, I used to love this place but I don’t know what’s going on! I went today and bought some sauce and a pastry. The pastry which is called the lobster roll, was covered in the bottom with mold when I called the manager, he kept trying to shut me up then hung up on me!
He told me to come in tomorrow but I live far so I’m not wasting $ 5 gas for a $ 3 pasty.
See pics. Maybe now management will contact me.

Doris’ is a great Italian market with a little bit of everything. Boasting a bakery, meat counter, and deli, you will not leave without some kind of treat. They also have a few aisles of various goods, so you could actually do some serious grocery shopping here. They always have a ton of folks behind the counters, so service is always quick and painless.
Their chicken salad from the deli is one of my favorite items, along with the fresh mozzarella. You can also pick up stuffed peppers, pasta salads, chicken parm, or order subs and sandwiches. They don’t really have a spot to sit down and enjoy the yummies, so plan to take your items to go.
Keep an eye out for their weekly menu, as they advertise specials on their products often. This is a great place to stock up on chicken, as it is cheaper if you buy more than 5 pounds. And be sure to hit the bakery for some Italian cookies or cream puffs! Yum!

What a cosy sweet place.
I had passed this Doris on Hollywood many times, and this time I hadn’t had lunch yet, and remember there’s a good deli at Doris.
I’ve had their catering before.
I immediately navigated my way to the back of the grocery store where you take a number and someone will help you buy raw meat, or ready made foods or salads and marinated items. There’s a wine selection back there too.
I saw the Boars Head sign and the types of sandwiches offered. Near the top my eyes stopped scrolling and knew the Ruben was for me.
The lady making my Ruben asked if I wanted it on Rye or a sub. Rye of course. I asked the lady if the bread was toasted she said No.
Big fluffy pieces of rye bread smothered with thousand island dressing, sour kraut, and I saw she put the meat in the microwave and to melt the cheese. I think they do the same at Publix?
* There’s no grill and no toaster
The meat was thicker cuts and very tender. The pillowy rye bread made eating easy, and all together this was a Damn good sandwich. I took half home to my husband he loved it too. They use a jalapeño swiss cheese on the sandwich it just kicked it up a notch and made it yummy.
I saw walking back through the store a nice produce section where I picked up very affordable items, I’m talking cheap!
Facing the cash register is the bakery. The girls at the bakery were very friendly but I wasn’t set on buying any sweets this time. Huge pastry display.
The cashier Nancy was very friendly chatting with everyone and had a convo with me, she is a very sweet lady.
Great Mom and Pop store, there’s a yummy deli in the back, and I will be back to try out the meats, and the desserts.

Flora pasta is on sale! Buy one get one free. $ 1.99 Thanksgiving dinner on sale for $ 149 the stuffing smells delicious! I wish my mother in law would send some of her dry cornbread. Its perfect for stuffing. Its like using the bags. ;)

I love the quality and service at the Hollywood store; I have not been to any of your other stores. I am not sure what why this changed on my last visit there but I am very disappointed. I recently moved from California to Hollywood, FL where I purchased a new home.
It was 5:30 on a Saturday afternoon and they had already started breaking down for closing. There were 4 employees behind the counter and one in the back walk-​in (who I could see through the window). There was one person placing an order with two of the employees helping him. One was taking the products out of the cases and the other wrapping his purchases. I thought that was odd because I recognize both as being regular meat dept. employees. The other two employees, regulars as well were breaking down the deli area. The one in the back was looking out the window leaning on something and there was no sign of activity the 30 minutes I was there.
I did not take a number as I was the only person waiting. I waited patiently, and waited, and waited. After about ten minutes, the woman behind the counter said to me, «I’ll be right with you». Soon another customer showed up and she waited. One of the other employees recognized her and came up to help her. I said «excuse me but I was here first and have been waiting for a while». The customer turned to me and said where is your number. I explained that I did not have one but that I was clearly waiting for some time before she had gotten there. She new I was there first because she was standing next to me. I told her that if it that important, she could go before me.
I continued to wait. When the first customer was done, the woman taking care of him took off her gloves and started digging in her ear for something and went over to the deli case and started putting trays of food away. She never washed her hands. This is the same person that said she would be right with me. The second person that was wrapping the food for her went back to reading the newspaper.
I continued to wait. Time seemed to be in slow motion. More time went by and finally the one reading the paper looked up and said «Have you been helped?». Mind you I was no more than a few feet away from him the whole time and I could see all that he was doing and he certainly had seen me. He took my order begrudgingly and it was completed in just a few minutes.
Throughout this whole time, the person in the walk-​in was watching everything going on. I think he might be a manager and I know he is a butcher. At no time did he make any attempt to help or ask someone to help me. I checked out with a lovely and friendly checkout person and left.
I was there for 30 minutes in an empty store with plenty of employees to pick-​up ten boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I am in your store in hollywood every weekend. I am a big believer in supporting local businesses because it is good for the local economy and they strive to deliver a better product as well as service. That has been my experience most of the time at Doris’s.
The service I received yesterday is as bad or worse than what you get at Winn-​Dixie or Publix. Please tell me why I should continue support your business if your employees don’t give a hoot. I have owned businesses all my life and I know how hard and expensive it is to get new customers and how easy it is to lose them too. Has Doris’s gotten so large and comfortable that they can afford to treat customers with such disdain?
I don’t know who Doris is or was or even if she ever really existed. Someone started this business at one time and went to a lot of expense, effort and time to build it to where it is today. That sense of customer care has been lost. I say this because there were six employees including a manager behind the meat counter and one customer at the time I arrived. If the store hours are 9 – 6 the service should be the same from 9 – 6. You should put the customer first. When you open at 9, everything and everyone should be ready and before 6 the same.
I want to continue to shop at Doris’s and I want to experience the same level of service at 9:00, 12:00 and 5:30. Please tell me why I should want to go back?

Came for lunch today. This is an Italian market and bakery with a deli counter. The only seating is outside with about 4 tables. There is plenty of free street parking.
I ordered the Italian Combo sub. I got it with the spicy crushed red pepper relish, lettuce tomato, pickle, salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. The sub was excellent, but next time I would ask for extra relish.
My wife got one of the Jamaican beef patties and a rice ball. My daughter got a meatball and a potato pancake. Everything was delicious except for the potato pancake which my wife described as a McDonald’s hashbrown.
After lunch we grabbed a chocolate canoli from the bakery. Yum!
The service was just okay. The lady that helped us at the counter was nice, but fairly incompetent. The cashiers were also quite slow.
The prices at the deli and bakery are good, but the market is overpriced on a lot of items.
I would very likely come back if in the area again.

This particular visit was a 2.5 for me. I’m rounding up only because I do still have some appreciation for this place.
I went specifically looking for ricotta salata. They are an Italian specialty store so it seemed like the best place to look. However after staring at the cheese section for 20mins I went to get help. The first person I asked gave me a blank stare back as if I had just asked him a calculus question. Luckily the second person came out to help and explained that they only get a small shipment of this cheese at a time and it looked as though they had run out.
Trying to make the best of a waste of time I wandered over to look at the meats and prepared foods. The guy behind the counter asked if I wanted anything and I explained that I was just looking. I got the same blank stare out of him and he almost seemed annoyed that I was «browsing» in his section. It gave me an awkward feeling and I felt pressured to buy something. I opted for the stuffed cabbage rolls. $ 6.99 a lb and 4 pieces came just shy of 2lbs.
Headed to the cashier I got sucked in to the bakery. Where I stood awkwardly again waiting for the lady behind the counter to slowly acknowledge me. Eventually she packaged the two éclairs I wanted — $ 1.75 each.
Waiting to check out (with only one cashier working) I thought it was very friendly of the cashier to suggest a bread item to the guy in front of me. However this then sent him to the bakery lady where he waited for her attention and made my check out process extra slow.
All in all the food was ok. I love cabbage rolls but I didn’t find these superb. The bf loved them, but he hasn’t had many cabbage rolls before lol. The éclairs were good, custard filled. I prefer a whipped cream filling, but that’s just a personal preference.
Parking here is a pain. There’s lots of free spots out front on weekdays but backing out of these spots into Hollywood Blvd traffic is a pain.
I’ve been to Doris before. I appreciate how cute it is, and that they do offer specialty items. I’ll come back, but only if I’m looking for something I don’t expect to find anywhere else.

Oh sweet Doris, driving through Hollywood and coming up on you made me a very happy lady yesterday morning. I never knew this was the original one at this location. It is much smaller than their other locations but hey I am not complaining. First stop the bakery for some fresh bread and my butter cookies that I enjoy so much.
The lady at the counter was so friendly and helpful. I asked for a baguette and she asked if she can slice it for me. Super nice personal touch. Then we got some Parmesan cheese freshly grated, hot Italian giardineria, Italian sausage both sweet and hot, pasta salad, hot cappicola, and as I was checking out the wine I saw an end cap of Josh Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa. Say what? I knew this bottle well as it is the house wine over at the Hoxton Urban Beach Lounge. I had no idea how much it was but Doris had it on sale for $ 10. Yes I can be such a wine snob and honestly do not drink many bottles in this price range. But the quality of this wine is awesome and for this price. Wow, I felt so lucky. I grabbed four bottles, should have grabbed a case but I over did my wine purchases this weekend.
The staff here are so friendly and very helpful with huge smiles on their face.
Please I beg you come down to Miami. now that would be nice.
Oh and the famous butter cookies with the red jelly in the middle, oh they are the BEST here, super fresh.
