Cradle to Kitchen: A Different Dough Rising in Bryant
In Bryant, a different kind of dough is rising, literally. The story behind the Different Dough Pizza Co. begins at home, where family and passion play crucial roles in shaping the unique pizzas served.
With a kitchen lineage, owner Skot Covert picked up the tricks of the trade from his parents. His father’s love for pizza and his mother’s influence on family values combined to create a truly family-centric business. This love is palpable in every bite of their carefully crafted pizzas, offering customers a taste of home and community.
Thumbs Up from Grandpa
Part of this family legacy is the thumbs up logo, borrowed from Covert’s grandfather. This simple gesture symbolized optimism and support, now reflecting the welcome that customers receive at the Different Dough Pizza Co. It is more than a logo; it’s a symbol of warmth and belonging.
Getting back to the pizza, Covert is driven by a passion for creating the best. He offers two distinct styles: traditional New York-style and Detroit-style, each with its own unique signature. The real game-changer is in the preparation. The dough takes 2.5 hours to prepare, followed by 48 hours in the refrigerator and another 24 hours before use. This slow fermentation creates a more digestible and satisfying pizza, differentiating it from standard pizza techniques.
When you visit the Different Dough Pizza Co., you’re in for a treat. From the classic New York-style “Cup and Comb” to the Parma, every pizza promises an experience that will keep you coming back. With a new destination in Bryant, you no longer need to travel to Chicago or New York for great pizza; it’s right in the heart of Bryant.
