"This beloved local chain is the go-to for many Dallasites, and with locations across the Metroplex, all of North Texas has now embraced it. The pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired grill and served piping hot, but don’t travel well — which is not great for takeout but wonderful to share for dining in with a group of friends. On the menu, find red or white pies with clever names like the Jabroni (pepperoni and pesto), Billy Ray Valentine (vodka sauce, smoked bacon, bacon marmalade, and sweety drop peppers), La Flama Bianca (ricotta, garlic, and crushed red pepper), and Truffle Shuffle (truffle mascarpone, prosciutto, roasted mushrooms, and truffle oil). The original location in Deep Ellum is Cane Rosso’s flagship, and for your first purposes, it’s the outpost to hit up. Diners will find a bar that’s great for solo diners, butcher block-topped tables, and plain cement floors. It’s not fancy; they saved that for the pies. Must-try dish: You’re not a Dallasite until you order the Honey Bastard at Cane Rosso. It’s got hot soppressata, bacon marmalade, and habanero honey. If you don’t fall in love, maybe it’s time to move to Austin." - Courtney E. Smith
