Best Pizza in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"When an award-winning pizzaiolo opens a restaurant, it’s worth paying attention. The interior of Partenope are beautiful, and its handmade Neapolitan oven, which owner Dino Santonicola had decorated with Italian tiles, is its stunning centerpiece. Try the Montenara pie, a flash-fried and then baked pizza crust topped with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil. Santonicola is from Naples and takes his piemaking extremely seriously — the crust must meet specific specifications to be considered Neapolitan, the ingredients are shipped from Italy, and each pie gets a dedicated level of care that pays dividends in pure flavor. There are cocktails, wines, and beers, plus an extensive menu of Italian dishes. Partenope has a second location in Richardson. Vibe check: Located inside a historic Downtown building, it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but step in and join the party." - Courtney E. Smith
