We can't believe it took this long for someone to create a pizza tasting menu.

PILF Restaurant Group, behind some of Dallas' favorite pizzerias (Cane Rosso, Zoli's Pizza and Thunderbird Pies), is hosting (perhaps the first of its kind) a pizza tasting dinner on Wednesday, May 14, from 7 - 9:30 p.m.

The event is a one-night-only experience held at Cane Rosso's White Rock location at 7328 Gaston Avenue. It will feature a six-course tasting menu that showcases the PILF Group's five distinct regional pizza styles: Detroit, Tavern, Neapolitan, New York-style and, a personal favorite, grandma-style.

Each of the pizzas is unique and cannot be found on any of the restaurant menus, so this is your chance to try something new. Paired with each pizza are bold cocktails joining the worlds of pizza and mixology.

Chefs Stan Rodrigues, Jonathan Myrick and Cheque Barrera are collaborating on the menu, while PILF’s beverage director, Gregory Huston, is slinging the drinks.

There's a lot to be excited about at the menu's first glance, but this is what we're looking forward to the most:

The Steak Tar Tavern: akaushi beef, shallots, cornichons, scallions, cured egg yolk, horseradish cream, lemon and
parsley on tavern-style crust. Paired with a Boulavardi-esque made with Maker’s Mark, mustard seed bitters, herbal liqueur and blanc vermouth.

Abuela’s Birria: Grandma-style crust with mozzarella, Oaxaca and asadero cheeses, white onion, birria beef, avocado, salsa verde and micro cilantro. Paired with a Tequila Cocktail #3, Tres Generaciones tequila, blood orange, cilantro, lemon and Aperol.

The rest of the tasting highlights JM's New York Clam, Campari Tomato & Buffalo Mozzarella, the Detroit-style Fancy "Grubbs" and a Crust and Crumble dessert pizza.

Tickets for the event can be purchased on Eventbrite for $75 before taxes and fees, and they're only for guests 21 and up.
