We stopped in to try this spot after hearing good things and drove about an hour to check it out. It seems like a small, local pizza place in a college town that does a lot of takeout business. The dine-in side felt a little secondary — we waited about 15 minutes to be seated and another 10 minutes before getting water. The pizza itself was decent but fairly average; the dough was a bit bland for our taste. The staff seemed friendly, though at one point we noticed some employees doing push-ups or planks behind the counter, which was a little unexpected. Overall it has the feel of a casual, mom-and-pop place that may work great for takeout. For us, it probably isn’t somewhere we’d drive an hour out of the way to visit again, but it might be a convenient option if you’re already nearby.

This IS the best pizza we have ever had! The crust is tender yet crisp! Wonderful beers! And an outstanding beet goat cheese salad!!

This pizza is delicious. It is the closest thing you can get out here to New Haven style pizza with a perfect crust, just the right amount of chew, a well balanced sauce that is really tasty and fresh high quality ingredients from the cheese to the toppings. I eat their pizza frequently and I love it. This is the real deal. Delicious!

My husband, granddaughter and I live in Rapid City and on 1/17/26 we decided to take in the BH game and we were excited to take our granddaughter for pizza at Dough Trader's. It had been quite awhile since we had been there and we were very excited. However, when we got there, it was not a good experience.
There were only 2 other people there and it was freezing inside. We were seated by the door and were so cold we put our coats on. Not knowing it was reserved, because there was no reserved sign on it, we moved to the booth by the fireplace. The server told us we had to move so we told her it was freezing at our table but she didn't respond.
Then, we ordered drinks and finished them. We waited for about half an hour before she came and asked us if we wanted refills. We had decided that we were going to order another drink but by then, we were so irritated that we just ordered water. All told it took about an hour and 10 minutes before we even got our food. People were coming in and out and picking up their pizzas to go. It would have been nice if she would have informed us when we came in that they had a lot of online orders and we probably would have been more understanding. We were starving and pretty much just felt like chopped liver, when we finally got the pizza. It was good but not excellent, as has been our experience in the past. My granddaughter was not impressed with the place. Next time, we'll choose another restaurant, preferably one that appreciates their customers.

Crust was phenomenal! I’m can’t recall having ever had pizza this good. The crusts were so top notch. The seasoning and flavors were great too, but the crust is what’s got me amazed. Everything else is cardboard by comparison.
We love this place and it has become our toddler's favorite! The back part with the free arcade machine did it for us too, we can now sit down and actually eat while our son gets a little occupied than trying to go all over the restaurant. He loves saying hi and interacting with the friendly staff, everyone there is so sweet to us. The food is incredible!! I love that it is sourdough b/c that is so healthy, my fave is the goat beets salad, best salad in town. Everyone is so kind and the restaurant is super cozy and cute!! Clean and reminds me of memorable Italian restaurants. Thanks everyone for creating such a great restaurant, much love!

Fantastic pizza! Their crust is the best! 140 year old sourdough starter is the key to their perfect crust. Good variety and the staff, including Kristen, the owner, are super friendly.

Enjoyed the togo salad, and the servers were very helpful. Cash only but there is an ATM onsite. Currently open Thurs-Mon.
