Four of us went there last Friday night at 5:30 for dinner. The place was packed, which is always a good sign. They said our weight was about 35 minutes so we walked across the street for cocktails. Having not heard from them, we checked in 45 minutes later. I set a table just became available. Unfortunately, they put four at a table in the middle of the room. As I looked around, I saw we were the only party of four at such a small table. We had an appetizer, shared a salad and ordered two pizzas. The apetizer was good and so was the salad. When the pizzas arrived, our table was filled to capacity. It almost made you feel claustrophobic with such a little space. Overall, the pizzas were OK but not stellar. The tiramisu I had for dessert was pretty tasty. It's hard to talk about ambience because it was so noisy, you couldn't hear. I'm not even sure if they had music playing in the background. If I go back, perhaps I'll try to pick a slower time when I can get a bigger table and check out the atmosphere.

After my friends forced me to go back to the restaurant and to give it a second chance, I can say my experience with the staff has been excellent since. All the pizzas we have tried are amazing as expected. Truly a 5-star experience. Averaging it with the 3, I'll give this place a 4.

Amazing pizza - it's all about the dough, fantastic! Their homemade ranch is a must. I tried the Ultima cocktail which is similar to a Last Word (one of my favorites) - delicious! Small portion of salad was plenty for two. Service was excellent and we're looking forward to visiting their new location in a couple weeks!

Why, in the name of all that is good and gluten, had I never gone to Dopo before last week? What a wonderful restaurant: the service is friendly but not overbearing, and the atmosphere is lively but homey and comfortable too. I had the spaghetti and meatballs, which were wonderful--I'm a sucker for homemade pasta, and I was thrilled to have a tasty giant meatball on top of al dente pasta in a homemade red sauce. I also had a slice of my friend's fig pizza, which had a tasty crust and wasn't drowning in cheese--instead, the cheese complemented the toppings and the crust. I will be going back very soon. What a great place!

It's rare to find a pizza & pasta spot that just HITS on every level of the food. First our server Colleen was great and had a lot of knowledge regarding the food. We ordered Pasta Bolognese, two pizzas the Verde and another one I forget but it had sausage and pepperoni, cedar salad tp share, and the foccacia and burata. Out of all of these.... THEY WERE ALL GOOD! however, the Burata is stands out the most because of how fresh it tasted and it paired wonderfully with the foccacia, i like their spin on it where we could taste the olive oil and a hint of butter with a dash of seasoning. Only drawback I would say parking can be limited, but if you are around and have the time, absolutely visit this place. We came from the bay area and will be book marking this place to return in the future. P.s. was in the restaurant on a Sunday night 1-19-25. (Thanks again Greg!)

We came on a busy Monday night so we sat at the bar to avoid the wait. We were welcomed as soon as we came in and the servers were nice enough to explain the menu to us as this was our first time coming. All the staff were so friendly! The portions were great considering the prices and the food tasted amazing. I highly recommend trying their house made ranch with the pizza!

Pizza is good and the vibes are good and the place is in a good location and it's got good staff and good decorations and the salad was good too.

Everyone I spoke to always had great things to say about this place and I finally made the time to come and check out myself. And let's just say that the hype is real! This place definitely lives up to its reputation. The restaurant is not very big and its prominent features are its bar near the front and open kitchen in the back. I also really loved the wall across the bar with the many pictures of people enjoying the pizza. We were there fairly early and it was not busy, so we were greeted and seated very promptly. We started off with some wine and a Hugo Spritz, which was very refreshing, and ordered a caesar salad. The salad was a simple and classic version of a caesar salad and I really loved that about it. For our main entrees we ended up going with the Pappardelle Speciale and Fig + Pig Pizza. Unfortunately, they were out of pancetta for the pasta, but instead of substituting with another protein, the waitress recommended we not add anything. Ultimately, that was a great call and the pasta was so good that I didn't think not having the pancetta took anything away from the dish. However, I still would love to try it with pancetta someday. The pizza was perfectly cooked and the ingredients super well balanced, on top of that I am just a sucker for a pizza topped with delicious fresh arugula. We did not save room for dessert unfortunately but based on this experience this will definitely not be the last time we come here. There were many things on the menu I still want to try so I will definitely be back.

Orders: PAPPARDELLE SPECIALE + MEATBALLS | TONY'S NYC NEO-NEOPOLITAN PIZZA | MARINATED OLIVES This place came highly recommended by so many people & absolutely held up to the hype!! We sat outside at bar tables on a perfect night & had really great service by our gal (Sarah I think?) - she was so knowledgeable & fun! Obsessed with the pasta and appreciated the tip to add meatballs. Tony's NYC pizza (housemade tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, oregano) was also bomb. We were in a meaty mood, clearly. So yum!!! Thank you guys!!

We ended up at Dopo Pizza by pure chance after waiting for almost an hour and a half at a nearby restaurant without being served. We decided to walk around and stumbled upon this gem, and I'm really happy we did! Despite being packed, we were promptly seated, and the bartender was fantastic. She was super friendly and took our order right away. We got the Grasshopper pizza, and it was delicious. The arugula was fresh, and the asparagus was perfect on the pizza. I was so hungry that I didn't get a chance to take a photo, but next time, I'll definitely take more pictures because there will be plenty of visits to Dopo Pizza in my future. Highly recommended!
