"Partenope makes some of the best pizza in Dallas—and now you don’t have to go all the way Downtown to get it. Our favorite here is the spicy Calabrese, with mozzarella, tomato sauce, hot soppressata, ricotta, calabrian chili, and calabrian honey. It’s got a touch of sweetness that tempers the spice, and the perfectly charred and chewy crust clearly comes from a master pizzaiolo. We also dream about the creamy spaghetti alla nerano in a zucchini sauce that has a slightly sweet earthiness. Our favorite time to stop by is Aperitivo Hour at the wraparound bar—or the huge patio—to relax with an orange italicus spritz and some toasty bruschetta and warm olives." - erin booke
