SoDough Square Pizza launched its second shop in Tampa after its St. Pete store on 4th Street took off. This spot dishes out Detroit-style pies and other Motor City favorites.
You’ll find the Tampa outpost at 138 S Dale Mabry Highway, close to where Kennedy Boulevard crosses. Rob Bair makes the pizzas at both stores. He calls St. Pete home.
“I love both areas,” Bair said, according to Tampa Bay 28. “So let’s try it over here.”
Bair grew up in Detroit. His menu pulls from those Michigan roots — square pizzas and Coney dogs done Detroit-style.
The first shop opened at 6925 4th St. N in St. Petersburg, and customers flocked to it, which pushed Bair to cross the bay.
Tampa’s spot runs smaller than the St. Pete one. Carryout drives most orders here, but you’ll get the same food.
Bair brought on almost 20 workers across his two restaurants, and a third Tampa Bay shop might happen soon, adding more jobs.
Tampa folks can now grab Detroit-style pizza without driving over the bridge. These square pies pack thick crusts, with cheese baked right to the rim.
Coney dogs sit on the menu beside the pizzas at both places, topped the way they do it in the Motor City.
Bair opened the Tampa location after deciding to grow what he’d built, wanting to get his food in front of more people around the bay.
