There’s something undeniably magical about pizza. Maybe it’s the smell of bubbling cheese, the perfect balance of sauce and crust, or the way one slice always turns into three. But if you’re searching for the best pizza in Portsmouth, NH, we’ve got one word for you: dough.
At Dough Craft Pizza & Pastrami, we’re not just tossing pies—we’re crafting experiences. From wood-fired classics to creative signature slices, our menu is built for flavor lovers, foodies, and anyone who believes great pizza should never be boring.
The Art of a Perfect Pie
We take our dough seriously—because it’s the foundation of everything we do. Ours is fermented for flavor, hand-stretched with care, and cooked at high heat for that signature crisp-meets-chew balance. The result? A crust that stands up to bold toppings without overpowering the slice.
Our sauces are house-made. Our cheese blend is gooey perfection. And our toppings range from the familiar (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms) to the creative (hot honey, pickled shallots, smoked ricotta).
