Watch your back, P’Zone.
D.P. Dough, a growing national franchise with locations in 13 states (mostly around college campuses), is opening at 40th and Chestnut in late December or early January. (Its other Pennsylvania location is in State College.)
Drexel alum Mike Nagao, who’s running the venture with brother Scott and partners Jason and Jacquie Hembrey, tells us the company specializes in calzones made with fresh dough and high-quality ingredients. The menu features some 50 varieties — many of which feature awesomely trademarked -zone puns like Falling Rock Zone (potato, bacon, mozz, cheddar) and Danger Zone (hamburger, cheddar, Mexican seasoning, onions, hot sauce) — but there’s also a “Construction Zone” option to build your own. They make all calzones fresh when ordered, and also offer breadsticks, wings, salads, wraps and the like. Delivery and late-night hours are a must, of course.

I met Mike at a world series viewing party and found out because he was wearing a dp dough philly shirt. I almost died out of happiness (well because of calzones and because the phils were doing so well, ofcourse.) I’ve had them at Univ. of Maryland and in Ithaca. They are amazing. I used to have my dad bring me them back from Maryland when he visited my brother and I wasn’t going. I’d just heat them up.
Highly reccomended and it will give me one reason to drive to west philly.
p.s. hi drew!
The P’zone never stood a chance.
Amy, Thanks for the pic from Broad Street. Good times.

I am ecstatic… I enjoyed DPDough during my undergrad days @ UCONN in Storrs and can’t wait for these guys to open up. However, I don’t see BBQ Chicken on their online menu — imploring that you consider adding it — it had Chicken, BBQ Sauce, Cheddar Cheese & Bacon. When are they opening???
