Me: Peproni rolls
DD: How many
Me: All of them would be great

We used to go the one in Frisco, then quality and service went down, we stopped going, and they eventually closed down. Is the new one franchise or company managed?

Guessing franchise. The owner of Bowlskis is bringing it to the Lakewood Theater, replacing the bar they had in there. Sounds like he's been a lifelong fan

Quote:

"I grew up eating it," Spivey says. "I had it when I lived in Austin, and also went to the one on Greenville Avenue. When they closed that, I'd go to the location in Arlington and bring it home."

He says felt he needed a destination food operation in addition to Bowlskis.

"During COVID, we discovered that people were coming to bowl but not to eat, and I felt like we needed to get something special there," he says.

Yeah they don't seem to last long. I've driven 380 all the way to Denton to get them recently.

I may have kept my house and not moved if this had happened a year ago. Good stuff. This does make four places to get pizza within about a mile of each other though, right? At least they're all different types of places/pizza.

If we're heading back home to Dallas from Houston, we usually stop in Huntsville and pick up 2-3 dozen rolls. It's right off of I-45 so it's pretty convenient - just have to heat them up later.

We live in Coppell and the Denton and Keller locations are both about 25 miles away.

East Dallas/Lakewood definitely has developed quite the pizza culture in the last couple of years.

Thunderbird Pies is definitely my favorite plus Cane Rosso, Louie's, GAPC, and now DD pepperoni rolls!

ETA: I work downtown so it will be nice to grab lunch there from time to time.

There used to be 20-30 locations in DFW back around 2008. Now only 2 (Keller and Denton)

It's a travesty. No other place that tries rolls is even close.

fort worth (camp bowie) sucked! Mamas took over the space, way better!

Hoping that the Lakewood location can make a go of it since it's a smaller operation this time. I feel like the earlier DFW locations had trouble competing with the likes of CiCi's, etc., (yuck) on the buffets.

There was one in Allen, at least I saw the sign. I am not sure they even opened.

I love DoubleDave's but I wish they would add jalapenos in pepperoni rolls as an option. Man that would be AWESOME!

Wings N More is awful. There is a reason they don't survive in a place with other options.

I walked into Lakewood Theater last week just for a look see, what a bizarre, fun scene. Ten bowling lanes in full use, and a stage above the pins with a live band playing.

Yea, i was back in CS a few years back and ate there. It was terrible but makes sense.

Every time I go in CS it's as good as I remember.

To each their own I suppose.

I never cared for DoubleDave's.

I ate the **** out of for it sure in college, but their pizza was always mediocre and the rolls were just ok.

Our neighbor was a DoubleDave's manager at the Harvey location. If he knew we were all up on a Fri/Sat night he'd bring a box full of rolls. He'd also let us hook our Playstation up to the bigscreen and fill our own pitchers of beer, and make a batch of rolls/pizza for us to eat once the store closed.

That. Was. Awesome.

Food was always just mediocre.

Best rolls I've had by a mile are at 5th Street Pizza in Allen. I'd take those over any slice of pepperoni.
Take the trash out staff.

Just wanted to bump this in case people didn't see the location in Dallas on Abrams is open. I do this selfishly because I've gone in for rolls twice and been the only person in there. I love their rolls and want them to stay in business so go hit them up!
walton91

Have gone in twice myself. The world is a better place with rolls so close to me

We started making the rolls at home a few years ago using Central Market pizza dough (too lazy to start from scratch); of course we add jalapenos but otherwise it is just dough, provolone and pepperoni.

Same. Its a long drive on 380 to the one in Denton.

I do work at 635/Preston so I could theoretically get to the one on Greenville, but thats a helluva drive home

I prefer to outsource the construction of my peproni rolls

There is one in Denison at a Main Event like place called Hey Day. Probably same distance as Denton but a lot less stressful drive than 380. Can't vouch for the quality there but I drive by it when visiting my folks.

Over the last couple of years the rolls in CS seem to have less and less pepperoni in them.

Finally got to stop by this past weekend. Rolls were pretty great.

I worked there back in the day as a delivery driver and if I recall it should be 6 pepperoni per roll.
