Dough Boy Pizza, the latest concept by Alabama chef Erica Barrett, opens Saturday, Aug. 6. The brand will features thin crust pizza with toppings ranging from pepperoni and sausage to short rib with caramelized onions and crawfish, according to an Al.com report.
The new pizzeria will be an addition to the Pizitz Food Hall in Birmingham. There will be no cashiers in the restaurant, only electronic kiosks where customers will place their orders.
"With Dough Boy Pizza's concept, we are looking to control labor and food costs with our technology focus," Barrett said in a press release. "This is perfect for the millennial who wants to grab their pizza and go – we wanted to build a restaurant of the future."
It's the fourth restaurant for Barrett, who also owns two SOCU Southern Kitchens and a SOCU Prime steakhouse under construction in Atlanta.
