Hot Pizza

Hot Pizza Dallas opened in Dallas in early 2021, infusing Indian flavors into the world of Italian pizza. Even though it's a curious combination, it's surprisingly good. Since opening, the small spot has gained quite a large fan base of pizza lovers, Indian food enthusiasts and just plain curious foodies. The menu at this low-key pizza spot in Preston Trail Village along Preston Road has an almost daunting number of options. There are 37 different varieties, to be exact. Menu items are separated into sections for vegetarian, paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and chicken pizzas. Pizzas come in 10-inch, 12-inch and 14-inch portions. The large easily feeds three to four people and seems like the best value. Just make some space in the refrigerator for leftovers the next day. For sides, order a box of cheesy Achari Bread, a crispy garlic bread that comes with a powdered Indian pickle (achari) on top. The portion size is on the smaller side but still packs rich flavors of the Indian subcontinent. The Smacking Pesto Bread is made with a similar bread but comes with a spread of pesto and onions, sauteed Indian style.
