South Florida’s cult-favorite sourdough pizzeria How Ya Dough'n is finally creeping north, with its first Broward County shop slated for Coral Springs and a late-April opening circled on the calendar. The family-run operation, which started tossing pies in a Boca Raton backyard in 2020, has since blown up on social media for its 12-day fermented dough, quirky toppings and pies that are practically designed to be photographed before they’re devoured. Coral Springs fans can expect the same long-fermented crust and offbeat combos that turned the Boca shop into a regional obsession.
Where It Will Open
The new outpost is listed as “Coming Soon” at the Cornerstone Downtown/Modera project at 3300 N University Drive, just a short walk from City Hall, according to How Ya Dough'n. The location page tags the restaurant as part of the downtown retail block and keeps things vague on timing, promising an opening sometime “this spring” rather than committing to a specific day.
What To Expect From The Menu
Miami New Times reports that the Coral Springs menu will mirror Boca’s greatest hits, matching classic New York-style rounds with over-the-top, social-media-ready creations. Headliners include the Pistachio Pie, loaded with Havarti, truffle oil and honey, and the cheekily named “Drunken Balls,” which arrive swimming in vodka sauce. Fans will also see “Dough Boys,” described as garlic-knot-style sourdough bites, alongside dry-rubbed wings. The team credits that extended 12-day fermentation with producing a crust that is lighter, crispier and easier on the stomach.
From Boca Backyard To The Strip
Founders Garett and Gabby Goodman grew How Ya Dough'n from a backyard passion project in Boca Raton in 2020 into a full-fledged brand, steadily building out the concept over the past few years, according to How Ya Dough'n's About page. The small chain has already made a splash far beyond South Florida, recently landing a rooftop location on the Las Vegas Strip, a move detailed in a press release covered by PizzaMarketplace.
Opening Plans And Community Perks
To celebrate the Coral Springs launch, the restaurant plans to give away free pizza to the public, though the exact date of the giveaway and opening is still being nailed down. A third Boca storefront is also in the pipeline, with a West Boca location expected to debut this summer, Miami New Times notes. The new buildouts and promised freebies are part of a broader strategy to keep regulars engaged, including monthly rotating specialty pies that give frequent visitors something new to chase.
Why Broward Diners Should Pay Attention
How Ya Dough'n has ridden South Florida’s sourdough surge by sourcing fresh mozzarella from Palm Beach producer Mozzarita's and leaning heavily on its lengthy fermentation process to set its crust apart, coverage from Boca Magazine points out. For Broward residents who have watched the hype from afar, the Coral Springs opening means that a much-talked-about slice is finally within a short drive. Locals eager to snag that first free piece would be wise to keep an eye on neighborhood food pages and the brand’s online channels for the final opening announcement.
