The food here can be fine, but wildly inconsistent quality in execution has us wondering if the pizza will be memorable or inedible on our next visit.

Showing 1 - 22 of 74Located across the street from Denton’s famed Recycled Books is Andy’s Bar.

Aside from its drink menu, Andy’s offers some […]
From the street, this might look like the average strip-mall pizza parlor, but once inside things change. The tables are covered in earth-tone tablecloths that match the seat cushions. Obviously, some thought went into Besa’s. That by itself distinguishes Besa’s from most slice shops in town. The counter service is still there, as are the […]
While this slice shop caters to the pizza-loving crowd, it also serves a mean cheeseburger, beloved by regulars for its girth and bubbling cheese. Its pizzas are whoppers as well. The specialties, like Jackpot (pepperoni, sausage, ham, ground beef, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, green and black olives and extra cheese), come large and in charge, […]
This storied, family-owned (now into its fourth generation) restaurant and its sibling establishments have been dishing out some of Dallas’ favorite thin-crust pizza and Italian-American cuisine since 1946. Eating here is like dining with history. (The strip mall in which the original restaurant sits seems like a relic itself in stark contrast to the stylish […]
First things first: This Carmine’s is not affiliated with the other similarly named establishments in town, something regulars are quick to point out. Loyalty runs deep here and offense is taken at anything that might besmirch the 30-plus year history of this North Dallas stalwart. Carmine’s specializes in New York City-style pizza, and the classic […]
Live music and drink specials. What more can you ask for? Well, beginner-friendly salsa nights on Thursdays are a start, so don’t be afraid to get out there and dance, whitey.
Cavalli was the Dallas area’s first pizzeria to become VPN certified, and while they’ve since let that award go, they’ve recently added an APN certification, which focuses on the pizzailoi directly. Either way you’re likely to get a solid pie in both their Irving and McKinney locations.

In a converted gas station at the corner of Tenth and Jefferson in Oak Cliff’s Winnetka Heights neighborhood, Cenzo’s has quickly woven itself into the fabric of the neighborhood.

So cliché, with that portrait of a young Frank Sinatra hung beside the bar, his face gazing upward. You might wonder if the moon’s in his eyes, though that’s another artist who’s equally as shopworn in New York Style Pizza joints. And that cheesy tune is playing too, ting-a-ling-a-ling — it’s almost a parody. But […]
This strip-mall slice shop sells whole pizza pies that are bigger than your average pie on the cheap — under-10-bucks cheap. A small pizza here is about the size of other pizza joint’s medium offerings, while the medium is really a large. And the large? Well, when that moon of a pie hits your eye, […]

Mack’s emphasizes ingredients made from scratch in-house daily with shareable snacks, […]

It slings out crusty, pecan-wood-fired oven pizzas, like the fresh mozzarella (market tomatoes, hand-torn basil and balsamic vinegar) and the spicy Italian sausage with scamorza and roasted red onions. The rustic method of making pies is echoed […]
