"Price: $$$$ Los Angeles has been enjoying the pizza stylings of Pizzana chef and pizzaiolo Daniele Uditi for years. When Pizzana brought its ovens to Big D and opened its first Texas location outside of Cali on Knox Street, Dallasites got the chance to indulge in those fancy pies. The pizza quickly rose to the top of our list of the city’s best, thanks to its 48-hour fermented crust. Order the spinaci (spinach, basil pesto, flor di latte, and Parmigiano crema), the spicy vodka pizza (vodka sauce, smoked flor di latte, smoked coppa, parsley pesto, and Calabrian chile), or the crowd-pleasing cacio e pepe (Provoloncino d’agerola, flor di latte, Parmigiano crema, and cracked black pepper). It’s also low-key become a great date night spot: The moody black interiors and close seating turn it into a smoldering, slow-burn place, prime for great conversation. Who knew pizza could be an aphrodisiac? If you drive: The best free parking is around the corner on Travis Street under the Weir Furniture Building. There are always spots, and that parking lot across the street behind Starbucks is for suckers." - Courtney E. Smith
