Dogtown, from its beginnings, has been oriented around the idea of family and friends: fresh, delicious food made to order, great company, and comradery. Followed, of course, by lots of memorable experiences.
Dogtown Pizza started out many years ago when two friends had a chance encounter at a party. The location of this party was home to a single, wood-fired, brick oven. After John Roberts and Scott Smith combined their culinary experience, the party was brought to life with their delicious wood-fired pizza creations. Discussion soon began around the idea of further collaboration. The property where the party took place was referred to by its owner as “Dogtown”, and the name stuck.
A crew set off across the east coast in an old farm truck with a brick oven built on its bed, baking beautiful pies everywhere they went; building the reputation of Dogtown Pizza. In the summer of 2010, however, after having travelled like this for a few years, a great permanent location presented itself. Dogtown settled in Floyd, Virginia.
In 1999, Anga Miller had purchased an old sewing factory building, previously known as “The Shirt Factory”. After extensive renovations, a large portion of the main sewing floor was then converted into a music venue called “The Sun Music Hall”. Since its grand opening in 2002, Anga’s primary goal for “The Sun Music Hall” had been to present live music from both regional and national acts. She also wanted the venue to be a place for the local community to enjoy Floyd’s many talented local artists. This is where Dogtown found its home.
With the addition of Dogtown Pizza and hearty libations, “The Sun Music Hall” took a big leap forward. It then became the landmark establishment that many Floyd residents and visitors have come to know and love as “DOGTOWN ROADHOUSE”.
Scott and Jon eventually moved on to pursue other paths in life, leaving Dogtown Roadhouse solely owned by Anga and her husband, Ed Erwin. Anga and Ed have continued the legacy of Dogtown; keeping spirits high while making improvements toward an even brighter future.
Over the years, Dogtown Roadhouse has grown an amazing reputation due to its delicious, wood-fired pizza, as well as its sixteen local, regional, and national craft beers on tap! Their good name is also due to their extensive menu and full bar service.
In addition to the brick-and-mortar location at 302 S Locust Street in downtown Floyd, Dogtown has kept the spirit of its roots intact by keeping the wheels attached. With the original Dogtown Pizza Truck, the folks at Dogtown continue to cater numerous events such as festivals, weddings, private parties, game day tailgating, and more!
In essence, Dogtown has become its own culture; filled with many different characters all coming together to create a community-based experience for all. Dogtown Roadhouse strives to provide a family-friendly environment that serves delicious pizza creations, as well as a variety of beverages. All this in one lively spot where people can enjoy the kind of great company and comradery that continues to build and foster lasting relationships.
The folks at Dogtown would like to invite everybody to visit and enjoy all the regionally crafted libations and the gourmet, wood-fired pizzas while listening to the evening’s live music. To make your experience even more memorable, Dogtown is pleased to announce their brand new, private party room! Featuring an amazing view of Downtown Floyd, this room is a great place to host your next private event. Come create your own memorable experiences!
