Texas Rangers Legend Pudge Rodriguez Will Open a Pizzeria | Eater Dallas

"Opening August 9 at Texas Live in Arlington, Pudge’s Pizza is Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez’s first restaurant and is being positioned as a family-friendly pizzeria on the complex’s second floor. The Hall of Famer’s endorsement is seen as a major asset in Rangers territory, though it’s unclear what style of pizza will be offered—New York-style thin crust, pan pies, or even the pretzel-crust pies sometimes served at Globe Life Park. Rodriguez said, "I look forward to seeing all my fans and sharing a good slice of pizza with my Rangers community at Pudge’s Pizza, come August." - Amy McCarthy
