Seattle-based Dough Zone opened its sixth Bay Area spot last month in the former Patxi’s Pizza space at 1875 S. Bascom Ave., right between Trader Joe’s and Sports Basement. The 3,167-square-foot restaurant seats guests at 21 tables and plans to hire between 10 and 20 team members.
The menu focuses on approachable favorites such as soup dumplings, pan-fried pork buns, and Dan Dan noodles, all priced to keep families and regular visitors coming back. Centralized kitchens help the chain maintain consistent quality while controlling costs across its growing footprint of 30 locations in Washington, Oregon, California, and Texas. This approach lets Dough Zone scale thoughtfully without sacrificing the care that started with its mom-and-pop beginnings in Bellevue in 2014.
Campbell’s Pruneyard offers the kind of open-air, community-driven atmosphere that suits the brand well. Strong foot traffic and a mix of shops and restaurants create natural gathering spots, and the addition brings more variety to the center’s existing Asian concepts like Asian Box, Kyoto Palace, and Marufuku Ramen. Local leaders have welcomed the arrival as a sign of confidence in the market’s ability to support both national names and its own distinct character.
