Mama Dough Pizza

Mama Dough Pizza is a wood-fired Napoli-style pizzeria in the Ainslie shops, known for chewy sourdough crusts and one of the better gluten-free bases in Canberra. Dogs are welcome in the covered outdoor seating.

The dog setup. Dogs can join you at the outdoor tables, which are covered so they work in most weather. Indoor dining is humans-only, with limited indoor seating anyway since this is mainly a takeaway-and-outdoor spot. Keep dogs on lead and settled near other diners. Bring your own water bowl, none is confirmed on site.

Good to know. Expect a bustling, casual local crowd, this is a popular pizza spot so outdoor tables can fill up on weekend evenings. Staff and other patrons are generally happy to have dogs around.

Getting there and parking. Mama Dough is at 2 Wakefield Gardens, in the heart of the Ainslie shops. Free parking is available in the surrounding shopping centre car parks, and it is an easy walk from nearby Ainslie streets.

Nearby with the dogs. Corroboree Park is a small, shaded local park a few streets away, good for a pre- or post-pizza leg stretch. Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve is a short drive or a longer walk away if you want proper trail time.

Go early evening on weekends if you want a covered outdoor table without the wait, and confirm current dog rules at the door since seating layouts can change.
