Doughed, a pizza restaurant in Windermere, South Africa, has recently relocated to a new premises at 199 Montpellier. The new spot boasts a shaded and convivial garden, where every table is filled, creating a nice chilled vibe. The pizza oven is working overtime to meet the demand.

The menu at Doughed is small but diverse, featuring pizza classics, pizza rossos, and pizza biancos. Customers can also order pasta, lasagna, or calzone. The restaurant offers a few starters and main dishes on their chef's Specials menu, but the focus is on their pizza dough. The prices range from R80 for a Caprese sandwich to R245 for a special oxtail pizza. The restaurant is not licensed, but customers are welcome to bring their own wine.
The reviewer, along with their friends, visited Doughed and had a relaxing afternoon in the garden. They ordered a roasted pomodoro pizza, which was delicious, with sweet roast tomatoes and fresh basil. The arancini al tartufu, however, was bland and needed more flavor. The reviewer also tried the truffled mac and cheese, which had a good truffle flavor but needed more cheese.
The pizza options for mains are interesting and varied. Arjun opted for the butter chicken pizza, which had good flavor but dry chicken. Vivek tried the oxtail pizza, which was disappointing due to too much gravy and not enough meat. Kartik enjoyed the Caprese sandwich, and the reviewer was tempted to try the melanzane alla parmigiana but opted for the truffled mac and cheese instead.
The reviewer also tried the pistachio cannoli, which was a delightful dessert. The service and food received a rating of 3 out of 5, while the ambiance received a rating of 3.5 out of 5. The total bill for five people came out to be R1423.50. The reviewer appreciated the cozy atmosphere and the effort put into making proper pizzas.
The new premises of Doughed has shown significant improvement from their previous location, a little converted garage in Gordon Road.
