Damgoode Pies

Small, but mighty!
As long as I’ve lived here, this particular Damgoode has been closed for renovations, so I got to walk by this odd looking pizza tower day after day, wondering just what was in there…
It turns out, very little, but what cozy space there is is jam-​packed with gooey, doughy goodness!
I’ve already reviewed at least two other Damgoode locations, and this one has the same perks: delicious pizzas, attentive service, solid beer selection for beer & pizza, and great take-​out options.
It also has the same minor downsides, mainly that the medium pizzas are on the small side (too small even to split, in my opinion), and it can be busy.
This particular location is unique though, in that it has a 2^nd story sit-​in dining area that’s both much bigger and nicer than it looks from the outside, and has an awesome view all the way down Kavenaugh from one end of Hillcrest to the other. Great spot for a relaxing lunch, just be aware that it’s going to be cozy.

Came back to Kavanaugh after the remodel, and the food is just as fabulous as always. Downstairs looks mostly the same, as any kitchen would, but the upstairs looks wonderful. Feels a little more open and I love that there’s a bar, albeit a small one. My girlfriend and I always sit at the bar when Morgan is working. Even if the room is packed she always makes sure we are attended to. And she is very very sweet! My food took the same amount of time as always, which is always a plus. The beer is always good when they have it. Love the Pale Ale! Cheers!

It’s a good pizza place. It’s a little expensive but not crazy for the quality of food you get. One dollar PBRs help with that also. I’m a really big fan of the pesto Alfredo sauce or the pesto marinara sauce. The toppings are always good quality. The only down side of this location is that it’s so small. Normally it’s fine but if they are busy at all its kinda hard to find a seat. In the past at least it’s been a problem since the remodel it seems they have a better layout. The remodel also made the place look a little cleaner.

I have eaten at damgoode pies many times and have always been satisfied. Today I tried take out and it was TERRIBLE!!! I have never been so unimpressed with a pizza in my life. It was ridiculously tiny, no toppings. I don’t know if I will go back! Not cool guys

This was the worst, yet, ordering pizza from this place! Today, my order was incorrect along w the condition of received pizza. First, I ordered a spicy 5 with chicken. It arrived with 1 piece of chicken. The pizza took almost 2 hours to deliver and, by the time it did arrive, it was cold and hard. This is the last time I order from this place. Over the years, the service has continued to decline and the customer service is the worst ever.

The pizza is better than US pizza Co across the street, in that it relies more on well flavored toppings and less on greasy, salty cheese.
I’ve found the staff to be very accommodating and friendly – they worked out a special salad for me recently.
However, I didn’t find the food to be so wonderful I want to seek it out. This was mostly due to the fact that, despite living a 3-​minute drive from the place (don’t judge me for ordering takeout), it took them 75 minutes to deliver. They promised 60 minutes. And by the time it got here, it needed reheating. I think someone who likes the run of the mill slice, who will order from big chain pizza like Pizza Hut, etc., will like this and find it good. I prefer more interesting combinations of toppings and sauces, myself. So, I take my business to Zaza’s, instead.

Pretty sure the waiter was inflicted with an extra chromosome, we saw him like once every 20 minutes and we were there forever. He messed up the order and check. The table was wobbly and annoying. Pizza ⁵⁄₁₀ not too special. Over-​priced out the wazoo. Expected much better.

OMG! That about sums it up… Been here twice in a week and want one more time before heading home.
Food: DynoooMite!
Atmosphere: laid back
Service: excellent
What was ordered: 14″ ½ Hog and ½ BBQ chicken, kids cheese, kids pepperoni, lemonade.
Adult beverages: the Ace of Hops IPA ***** stars, El Hefe **** stars
Overall: can’t beat this spot down here! Excellent service, food and beverage

Hungry after a days worth of travelling, we needed something convenient.
I’m glad we chose Damgoode!
Fresh ingredients, great specialty pizzas. I like that they have the 6″ and 10″ options. You can easily please everyone with their own pizza!
The delivery took about an hour — but was well worth the wait.

very slow service. took forever to even get a draft beer. one guy at our party did not get his food until everyone else ate their pizza. pizza was good though.

My favorite pizza ever, and No, I am not a native Arkansan who is just saying that because they’ve never lived in a pizza frenzied city! Personally, I say skip the stuffy: if you’re expecting true Chicago style yums, you’ll be disappointed. But for a classic, thick crust pizza, Damgoode can’t be beat.
The atmosphere is about as casual as it gets without being in a bar, and don’t expect fast service if you dine-​in –the Hillcrest location is much better than the Cantrell location about speed, though. I’ve also seen the customers at the Kavanaugh location get a bit rowdy –beer pyramids and drunk groups of med students can only be expected when PBRs are only a $ 1– but since I don’t have young, impressionable kids, I think that’s part of it’s charm.
I could go on for days singing the praises of the food. My husband and I combined have tried literally everything on the menu. Our fave pizzas are: the Artie, the spicy five, the shrimp pesto and the hog. For sauce, you can’t go wrong with tomato basil or pink, but pesto and spicy white are close contenders. If you’re really hungry, fred bread or razorback buns are the best apps. Finally, everyone always talks about US Pizza’s ranch dressing, but they must be taking crazy pills — Damgoode’s ranch is crack sauce. I was never a ranch on pizza person until I tried Damgoode’s ranch. I would try to eat a brick if you dipped it in Damgoode ranch.
All in all, the best pizza in town, just don’t go in expecting expedient service –the servers may not be fast, but at least they’re always friendly!

Ordered a pepperoni pizza to go — and when I got home and opened it, I saw that each slice had one pepperoni, with the exception of a slice that had two pepperonis on it. The pizza tasted good, but c’mon. Whoever sent that out owes me some pepperoni. It was the saddest pepperoni pizza I’ve ever seen.

Sadly, the pie was not as damn good as I had been led to expect. I don’t think that the problem was delivery vs dine-​in, as the pizza was still almost hot when I received it. The problem was simply a general blandness. On my garden supreme (minus the olives) half of the toppings were undetectable. My eyes could see spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms, but my taste buds could not; for some reason, only the onions and green peppers registered. The sauce was a-​okay and I really liked the crust, but the cheese was also mostly tasteless. Overall, it was all right, but disappointing after studiously researching all possible pizza options in Little Rock and choosing Damgoode.
Delivery was quoted at 60 minutes and clocked in at 75, mildly annoying but not catastrophic. At least the driver came all the way up to my hotel room. I was expecting to have to meet him in the lobby, so thanks for the extra effort, my man. I’ll take any opportunity to forego donning pants.

I don’t live in Little Rock but I would never go to the city without hitting Damgoode Pies on Kavanaugh. I have brought dozens of people there over the past 15 years or so! Their pepperoni is something to get happy over. I only wish they had a Denver location. Always a happy customer here!

The pizza was good — I liked the pink sauce and hand-​tossed crust. We ordered a mushroom and pepperoni pizza: the toppings were of good quality but I wish they had been more liberally applied.
I was excited for the razorback buns (garlic bread with bacon, jalapenos, and cheese) but was underwhelmed.

Let me first start by saying that this is some of the better pizza I have had in Little Rock. Secondly let me state that this review is for the «take-​out» option. As I’ve not dined at the establishment that is Damgoode Pies.
Never disappointed with the pizza. I’ve had a few varieties of there pizzas. They’re very consistent with their creation, and the pizzas come out delish every time.
Honestly, that’s about all I have. Hahaha. I mean I call in, I hit the storefront, I’m rung up by a courteous individual (take in the awesome «Swag» photo of Bill Cosby while I wait), and roll. I’ve had a quick and decent experience every time.
When I feel the need for good pizza, and I’m willing to make the drive from Sherwood. This is one of the few places that I’m willing to make the trip.

The only thing that would make Damgoode better to me is if they would add a location closer to my house in North Little Rock. Really miss being right around the corner from a location.
They have great specialties, great ‘build your own’, great variety of crusts, sauces, and toppings. Even the salads are great.
Truly Damgoode.

Best Pizza in Little Rock, some of the worst service in Little Rock. Get ready to wait 10mins standing at the counter to pay and even have people insult you if you ask to be helped after 5mins of watching them ignore you. (several experiences combined)

I’ve never really been disappointed with Damgoode. They truly deliver on their namesake — damn good pies. I recently ordered a custom pizza with hand tossed crust, tomato basil sauce, char-​grilled chicken, sun-​dried tomatoes, and pine nuts — topped with mozzarella and feta cheeses. Delicious!

Gotta say I was let down.
Saw all the high reviews.
After seeing pics online i Was expecting Chicago style Allah Giordano’s… NOPE!
The service was subpar… maybe cuz it was Memorial Day?
The hot wangz I ordered were spicy but quite soggy & fatty. Thank god I only ordered 6!
Than our stuffed mushrooms came out.
& home girl says «I’m so sorry but I burnt your mushrooms! Sorry my bad!»
Really? Peeps still say that? & at a restaurant no less? To her credit she offered to make us some new ones or take them off the check… I went for the latter as I had a plane to catch.
The mushrooms were ok.
Not sure if it was cuz they where burnt or because they were just «meh-​dieocre»
So so far not impressed with the «opening acts»
But still being patient as the star of the show was still warming up on stage.
I ordered a 10″ Stuffy with white sauce
Spinach, Mushrooms, ricotta cheese, sun dried tomatoes & chicken on ½ of the pizza.
Well it took 4ever. It said it would take 20mins longer as it is a deep dish style pizza… So I waited… figuring it would be worth it just like every other deep Dish pizza I’ve had in my life… WRONG!
It looked great when it came out.
But again the chic was like «hey I 4got what side I put the chicken on. Sorry…I think it was on the left side…»
REALLY?!
It a F*#cking pizza!
How are we supposed to decipher which side is the left side?!
She kind of motioned around the pie with her finger In a circular motion…
I’m like O_​o
Well sure enuff my girlfreind the vegetarian bit into a HUGE chunk of chicken! (Pwah pwah)
& me the meat eater got to bite into a hot yet not too tasty pizza. It was rather insipid… Too much spinach not enough ricotta says I! The sauce however was spicy & the crust was quite tasty… Just too bad the rest was not too pallet able.
We had left over pizza & when they offered to box it up we said «No thank you»
I can’t remember a time when I left pizza on the table!
I plan on giving it another go sometime in the future but the 1^st impression of this place is not so good. 2 & ½ stars.
