Dawghouse Pizza & Bar

I have been looking for a pizza place to deliver in Merion Village. The pepperoni pizza is great! Free delivery. great price. It takes a while but just need to plan ahead. only have had delivery from this spot.

This was the most pleasant surprise I’ve had in a minute. I was in the area trying to go to a diner whose owner apparently died this weekend, and thus it was closed. Instead I wandered into here expecting to find a dirty old dive, but upon walking through the doors I was greeted with a rather large bar with lots of seating, booths, tables and otherwise in the dining area, with lots of flat screens and a full bar over to the right. All but a few were hanging at the bar on this Sunday afternoon to take in the Browns game, hence the name of the bar.
Super friendly bartender Jessica and regulars aside, the best surprise was probably the food. At this point, I basically just need to own up to the fact that I’m not a vegetarian anymore. At a place with lots of options for the non-​meat crowd, I’ll continue to do veggie dishes, but here, where the only option wa a veggie sub, the philly chesesteak really called out to me. I’m glad it did. The steak was thicker than at some of the chain places, but still thin enough to fit the bill. The sandwich was, no exaggeration, mouthwatering. Fries are not included, but at just $ 2, they’re worth ordering. There is no deep fryer at Dawghouse and everything that would otherwise be fried is simply ran through the pizza oven until thoroughly cooked. This makes for yummy, healthier fries.
I hear the pizza is great too so I’ll be returning to test it out. There were your standard appetizeers and salads as well. Opening at 11am daily, this is definitely a candidate for future day drinking. No Sunday liquor license so if you want a martini on Sunday, you’re barking up the wrong tree. Six flat screens so you can watch from pretty much any angle or room in the place. A touch tunes jukebox. Clean bathrooms! Closes kinda early at 11pm weekdays and 12:30 on Friday and Saturday. A handful of premium beers, mostly domestics, and everything is cheap. Domestics are $ 1.50−2 all the time. A full .25 cents off for happy hour. There’s currently no karaōke, but that needs to change!
Honestly, I think I found a new regular watering hole to add to my roster.
