The 16 Best Pizza Spots In Dallas

"Fortunate Son is a casual restaurant complete with a shady beer garden and New Haven-style pizza, a rarity in these parts. The thin, crispy crusts are made with sourdough and available as 12- or extra-large 18-inch pies (remember, when you pick them up, lift with your legs). Standouts include the white sauce clam pizza, a potato and pancetta banger, and the red sauce Meatzilla topped with every cured meat under the sun. Order them all and whatever the table next to you got while enjoying a crisp kölsch. It’s worth the drive to downtown Garland and a convenient location for people who live in East Dallas." - kevin gray

Dallas’s Most Anticipated Restaurant Openings Spring 2024 - Eater Dallas

"There are already a ton of great pizza options in the Metroplex, but there’s very little New Haven-style pizza. That will change when the folks behind GoodFriend open up Fortunate Son in Garland. What is New Haven-style pizza, you ask? It’s a crisp, thin crust that’s coal-fired and roughly the size of a Neapolitan-style pie — so, personal size. One of GoodFriend’s owners, Matt Tobin, hails from Connecticut, CultureMap Dallas reports, while the rest of the team will be working with the style for the first time. The menu will also feature a selection of Italian-American dishes." - Courtney E. Smith

Fortunate Son Review - North Park - San Diego - The Infatuation

"When you first walk into Fortunate Son, your eyes might be overwhelmed. But all the decor details come together in a managed chaos that makes the space feel warm and soothing. There’s a metal dragon door handle at the entrance, green velvet banquette seating, hanging red lanterns, mismatched flatware on floating shelves, and a fireplace that just so happens to be in the mouth of a huge stone beast in the middle of the space. A few orders of crab rangoon with sweet chili sauce and a couple plates of lo mein and General Tso’s chicken are enough to halt any game of I Spy your table is playing though. If you’re all ready to go out after the meal, grab a drink at the nearby apothecary-themed Polite Provisions or Swan Bar’s covered patio." - Ligaya Malones

This place was awesome! Great pizza, better vibes. Only knocked a star because I PERSONALLY am not the biggest fan of this type of pizza. The flavours were all there however so if this is your style, this is probably your place. The staff was friendly, quick and accurate. Their Caesar was not out of this world, but if you're coming here for salad then you're kinda nuts. Portions are big! Got the margherita, the classic, and the buffalo chicken

We tried this place on a recommendation from some friends. The place is located in the downtown Garland area. We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated right away. Our server Tara got our drink orders and then returned for our food order. We ordered the Millie's Meatballs which tasted fantastic, the marinara was very delicious and the added ricotta cheese was perfect. We also Meatzilla which was cooked to perfection. All the flavors meshed perfectly together giving it a very delicious flavor. They have a daily Wednesday through Friday 4:00pm to 7:00pm and live music on Saturdays with drink specials. Josh one of the managers came by our table and made sure everything was to our liking. If you have an issue just tell one of the managers and they will make it right. We found the restaurant clean as were the restrooms. We will be returning again and again.

The food and desserts were amazing—we’ll definitely be back. The atmosphere is more like a bar, so it’s a bit dark inside, but we still enjoyed it. They also have outdoor seating, which I’d probably prefer on a cooler day.

I've traveled the US on the hunt for good pizza. I've had all of the heavy hitters in New Haven, New York, New Jersey, Chicago etc. This was damn good and easily the best I've had in the Lone Star State. We drove nearly 5 hours for this and ordered 2 pies which came out nearly perfect. The one minor gripe I have is that the pepperoni could have been better distributed, other than that it was absolutely on point. We were quoted 1 hour wait for an inside table and I'd wager our actual wait was closer to 30 min. Service was friendly and prompt from hostess to server, beer was cold and decent craft selection and obviously pizza was on point. I'd consider this worth a 30 min wait. If it was an hour I'd probably grab a drink nearby and check wait times after but it's definitely worth the half hour wait. It's no Zuppardis but it's the best I've had in Texas and second place isn't close.

If I could give this place a 10 for service, I would! The waitstaff is amazing. Best service we’ve had at a restaurant in quite some time. If that doesn’t convince you, the food is also amazing. They have a vegan cheese pizza for those of us with dairy allergies 🙏🏼. It’s definitely a different style of pizza but if you like pizza and haven’t had New Haven style, you better go! Plan for a wait, but there’s plenty to do around the downtown square while you wait. Absolutely delicious and we will definitely be back!

This is a home-grown pizza pub in the newly-revitalized downtown Garland. I've heard nothing but good things about this place so I was happy to finally go. Let me first start with the extra steps this place takes to provide outstanding quality food. The pickles in the antipasti were all made in house, and amazing! They could have easily purchased and resold top-tier pickled vegetables but no: they were made by hand to share the love this place has for you. And it doesn't stop there. Pasta at a pizza joint? Normally an afterthought that is a surefire way to get frozen slop. Yet, at Fortunate Son they handmade the noodles. And you can taste it: the subtle irregularity in noodles and the fresh flavor they provide screams the attention they were given in the kitchen from scratch. Now pizza. The Potato and Pancetta I got was fantastic! It had flavor and toppings unique to this joint, and executed at a top-notch city pizzeria level. I'd definitely get this again. The margherita I have mixed opinions. I always get margherita to judge a pizzeria because it's a very defined style that generally disallows creativity, and forces you to highlight the quality of your ingredients to differentiate yourself. This margherita was a good 'pizza', but it was not margherita. It tasted great, so I'd buy it again based on that. However it, in my opinion, cannot be called margherita. Creative liberty was taken to add significant amounts of cheese abnormal to the style, and the basil was more decorative than a true topping. I missed large basil leaves that would tell me how great their herbs were, and the cheese amount smothered the sauce and prevented me from properly assessing its character. Personally I recommend this pizza be changed to a different name. That would indicate the creative choices made without disappointing those like myself who seek classic Naples-style margherita.

New Haven-style apizza has quickly become my favorite style of pizza, and when I discovered this place, it was a no-brainer to come and check it out. One word: amazing. Your taste buds will thank you. The atmosphere is pretty laid back (pet friendly!) and our server was awesome (I cannot remember his name). Overall, fantastic experience and I can’t wait to go back. 🍕

So far no complaints. Only came for take out on a Wednesday. I found them by doing a Google search looking for gluten free pasta, but they didn’t have any. I was able to get some pretty good pizza.

Fantastic amazing pizza. Not your run-of-the-mill pizza place. This is real authentic, quality ingredients , perfectly made pizza. The Service is top-notch, they go above and beyond. They even had a gluten-free option, which my girlfriend and daughter thought was fantastic. Before this place opened, I thought Garland was an abandoned boomtown that had since been overrun by zombies years ago. The downtown Square is beautiful. Well done

Ordered margarita pizza and Caesar salad at the bar to go. Take out orders must be placed in restaurant because they do not list a phone number. Joe the bartender was friendly and helpful. Our order was ready in 15-20 minutes which is fast on Saturday night. We did not check pizza before leaving the store - big mistake! After we arrived home we realized it was not a margarita pizza - not even close ! The pizza should have been white or at least light colored with red tomatoes and green basil. It was totally RED! Please see pics below. By this time football game had started and we did not go back to exchange it ! The crust was tough and hard to eat - even our dog had trouble eating it ! I did notice since then that website does not include margarita pizza in their photos? $25 out the window - not sure we will try again. Salad was just ok. Definitely "dinner's remorse"!

Food is awesome, but the attitude of the management pissed me off. Sign says "sit yourself", means sit wherever we want, no need to get all pissy about or if you don't like where we sat down, put a hostess upfront. Probably won't be back due to the $hitty attitude of the management, too bad since food and servers are good.

This is a great spot in the new Downtown Garland renovation. They have great pizza and the drinks were excellent too. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. This seems like a great spot to hang out with groups and they sometimes have live music!

I really enjoyed this place. We came on a Friday night around dinner time, waited about 30 mins for a table outside. It was worth the wait. The food was excellent. We ordered a large pizza, Cesar salad, & fries. We definitely had leftovers of the pizza, we would order a small pizza for our party of 2 next time. Loved the vibe outside & inside. There is a fair amount of parking near the place w maybe a short walk

Looking for something yummy to eat on a Friday, I stumbled upon this place on Yelp. Told the hubby we should try but he reminded me we just had pizza. But, he agreed let's go for drinks since they had an espresso martini and old fashioned on draft. How cool. So, we went for BBQ at Inteinsic (always a good choice) and then, walked over for a drink. The outside patio was sooooo cute. But, we grabbed two seats at the bar and ordered our drinks. Surprisingly both very good, especially the old fashioned which we were afraid wouldn't be strong but was better than most. While chilling at the bar, I see someone walking past with a GIANT pizza. I leaned over to take a peek because I thought it was the meatzilla that the hubby had seen online and I just wanted a closer look for next time. Well.... that's where things took a turn. It turned out to be the owner, who said the back had made an extra and wanted to give it away for free. We said no thank you since we already ate. He insisted and explained to us all about the Connecticut style pizza... what is that. He explained sourdough, which would be floppy but hold up to the toppings... unlikely. So, after another round of insisting, we had a GIANT pizza in front of us. We waited the 3 to 4 minutes as directed and he wasn't fibbing. It was floppy like a new york style but held up amazing to the massive amount of topping. The dough tasted great and the toppings were so flavorful. Absolutely impressed. He told us to warm up left overs in air fryer and that was dinner tonight. It was perfect. I can't wait to go back. Great service, great drinks and awesome pizza.

I decided to drop by Garland's newest restaurant on a rainy evening... apparently I wasn't the only one with that idea, as it was absolutely packed! It was a warm early summer evening and the weather felt perfect as the rain cleared. I can't lie... service here was *rough* and I have some theories as to why that is, which I'll get into in a minute. This is clearly the kind of space that Garland is very hungry for! For the longest time, Intrinsic Brewing & BBQ has been doing the heavy lifting of providing food, beer and a place to hang if you happen to be in G-town. The whole downtown square has had a recent glow-up and this new pizza place is well-poised to take advantage of it. Fortunate Son is located in a former car showroom, which means there are cool roll-up doors and a very industrial feel. The big tree in the courtyard is decorated with twinkle lights and lends a super magical vibe. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding, the hostess mistakenly believed that we were waiting on a party of 10. We waited for over an hour... I honestly wanted to give up, but there was a bit of a sunk cost fallacy. Whenever I asked about the wait, I was assured it would be "soon" I saw people arriving far after our party of 3 did, easily getting seats, and assumed they must have had reservations? When our turn finally came, the staff seemed mortified by the error. Why the slow service? The place was completely slammed, and being new, they hadn't yet found their flow. The owner was walking around with a clipboard. The hostess was training a totally new to restaurants employee and that took some time. There weren't enough waitstaff, period. We also came right at the shift change for the bartender. They will work through their staffing issues and find their footing, I am sure. Okay! On to the food and drinks. I ordered a veggie pizza - as other diners have mentioned, the style here is crispy and a bit charred. I like the carbon taste from a true wood-fired pizza, so this wasn't an issue. Sadly, the moisture ratio from the veggies was a little too high - this pizza was soggier than I would have liked. I wish I'd stuck with a standard beer, but I decided to try a cocktail. The old-fashioned and the margarita both had "unique" ingredients that had them unusually cloudy in their presentation. I could see the bartender was trying to be maybe a little tooo creative in their hipster appeal. My other beef with the place was the number of smokers and vapers here was unreal! I really wanted to try a dessert, but the waiter didn't even offer, instead bringing us the check directly. After the super long wait and crazy slow service, it didn't seem worth it to ask. All the right ingredients for a wonderful restaurant are there... I had been hoping to have this place on my regular roster of go-to restaurants in the area, but I'm going to give them the space and time for the buzz of excitement of the "new kid on the block" to die down and for them to sort out their staffing.

7.8 on the pizza scale. Vibes are a 10. This place is borderline, really, really good. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We opted to just try the basic cheese to really get a feel for this place. It came out promptly. It was a bit too hot to eat without the good ol' roof burn. At first bite, the sauce is sweet and fresh. The hint of Romano cheese contrasts well with the creamy mozzarella, and it adds a nice salty note you don't get normally from new haven style. The crust was one aspect that could have elevated this pizza. It seemed like it was a high moisture neopolitan style dough as the crust never had a crispness even though it was cooked well. The ovens were gas, which just adds moisture to the cooking, and I think it is what made the pizza a bit loose overall. In short, we will be back as this is the best pizza in the area. Can't wait to try a more elaborate pizza and some of the other menu items.

This is a new restaurant located in Downtown Garland, great location, plenty of seating and a super nice patio so it's a great place for any occasion, be it hanging with friends or families or even a date night. It was full but not packed when we went but we were seated right away without issue. We ordered the crab artichoke dip as a started and the "parmesan bread" that it came with was really just cooked pizza dough and as you can tell by the picture there was no parmesan to be found on it. It wasn't even warm and it was honestly pretty tasteless and did not complement the dip at all. My husband ordered an Italian sub that came with chips and we really enjoyed the rest of the dip with his chips. The dip itself is actually delicious with plenty of sweet crab and artichokes under a blanket of melty cheese. I ordered the chicken parmesan and was really looking forward to trying it but I think every time they prepared it in the back, my ordered kept ending up at other people's tables because it took them nearly 35 minutes to bring out my dish after they brought out my husband's sandwich. I had to flag down the waitress twice, she was super sweet and very apologetic and did take the dish off of our ticket for the inconvenience so that was disappointing but I was grateful at her making it right. When my chicken parm finally came out, I must say that was incredibly delicious and wonderfully prepared. It had been freshly made so everything was piping hot. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was made with San Marzano tomatoes so it was bright and fruity and not too acidic. The chicken had been pounded out to a thickness that was not too thin and cooked perfectly crispy and topped with glorious, melty cheese and ribbons of basil. I honestly enjoyed almost everything and look forward to visiting again, I understand that mistakes can happen but ultimately I still highly recommend Fortunate Son's to anyone who'll listen!

It is simply amazing pizza cooked to perfection. The ingredients are quality and I love the variety they have. I like to try pizzas that have uncommon toppings....enter the Potato and Pancetta. It has a white sauce, thinly sliced potatoes, duck fat, crumbled pancetta, fontina cheese and topped with scallions. The ratio of sauce and toppings was on point and it was one of the most flavorful pizzas I've had. The pepperoni pizza was perfection as well and the cupped pepperoni had a little kick to it. Again the ration was on point. I've never had New Haven style pizza but now I want to go to CT to try it for comparison. Forrest took awesome care of us and the cocktails looked tasty. It's located on the square in Downtown Garland snd the patio is lovely. I can't wait to go back and try more.

We were finally able to stop by and eat at Fortunate Son a few weeks ago after trying to come on a Friday night and giving up after being told the wait was 2.5 hours. My husband and I + one friend stopped by before an event in downtown Dallas on a Wednesday around 5:30PM and it was much less busy; there were certainly still plenty of people dining in, but we were able to get seated immediately and there was enough room that I imagine people didn't have to wait. I definitely recommend swinging by for dinner on off peak days to avoid running into the same situation as our initial attempt. At the entrance I was greeted by a host who led me to an outdoor patio seating area; my husband was still parking the car and our friend was running a bit late, but they happily let me get seated first. Ty, our server, came by to bring water cups and ask if I wanted something to drink; I was deciding between two cocktails and picked "Are We Doing This?" because he said it was the sweeter of the two, and I enjoyed it a lot! Very fruity and flavorful, as advertised. The three of us split two "regular" (their 18" pie) pizzas. I've loved clam pizza ever since I tried it in New Haven a few years ago and I'm really happy to have a place that serves such an excellent version of it much closer to home. Our second choice was the potato pancetta pizza because the toppings were so interesting and it may have even beat the clam out for favorite of the night. Both pizzas had delightfully crisp crust that didn't get soggy from the toppings, and the toppings themselves were super fresh and flavorful. I only wish the clam pizza came with a little more clam, but the garlicky seafood flavor definitely suffused the entire pizza despite that tiny nitpick. We were stuffed at the end and still had four slices leftover, which our friend took with him. I don't find myself in downtown Garland too often since it's pretty out of the way for us, but I know where I'm going the next time I'm craving New Haven style pizza. Ambience in the outdoor section was super nice and all the servers that came by to check on us were very helpful. Can't wait to return!

The Meatzilla was packed with meat and we definitely appreciate that. The crab & artichoke dip was my favorite. It had a good amount of crab in there. As for the clam spaghetti, it was definitely a no go for me. I felt like the flavors were sooo overpowering and after I took one bite, I pushed that plate towards my husband bc I was not going to finish that. Our server asked how was the food and so I told him that, he said he'll let the back know for future references. The place was quite clean and nice to hangout with friends. I think overall it was an okay.

Okay, pizza review time. Hahalololol. Ahem. These are the leftovers & spent the night in the fridge, so the pictures don't do the pizza any justice. However, it's safe to say that the first true New Haven style pizza joint in DFW is off to a great start. Of the two pizzas, the Original was preferred. Not that the Pepperoni wasn't good, but the grease from the pepperoni soaked a bit too much into the crust. It made the crunch, which is flat out great on the Original, not as consistent with the Pepperoni. Next trip: we rock the Original and a Marg. Give me all that tasty thin crunch. There are some reviews about the service, but we had zero issues. Everyone was nice, attentive, & the pizzas came out in maybe 15 minutes. Not a problem there at all! It's right on the newly transformed Garland town square, so there is a small town, yet busy vibe happening around it. The patio is a bit odd as it's next to a huge intersection, but it's in the shade in the evening which is clutch. Overall? Fortunate Son is worth a trip to Garland to spend the evening hanging out.

3.5 stars rounded up The food was amazing, server was very friendly, but the kitchen needs work on their timing. We got our appetizer, then not even a minute after my husband got his meatball sub. So his sandwich just sat while we eat the crab artichoke dip. Several minutes later the pizza my kids ordered came out. It was still about 5 more minute before my order of pasta came out. Timing should be better where the whole table gets their order close together and you have time to eat your appetizer. The food was absolutely amazing!! We love the style of the pizza, and will be back to try some of the other pizzas. My Carbonara was perfect and I highly recommend this dish. The cannolis were not great, wouldn't order it again, but the filled donut was delicious! We were told they rotate the fillings. Today was chocolate filled on top of banana cream and caramel. YUM!! Our server was very friendly and apologized that the food came out in odd intervals. Hopefully, this will be worked out with time.

Service was fantastic our server was I believe Sarah? Very lovely and extremely attentive. The restaurant space is enormous and has plenty of seating indoor but also outdoor seating for days when it's not 130degrees out. Now the food is INCREDIBLE! I'm so happy I no longer have to drive to Dallas for delicious pasta/pizza/Caesar salads. Our lovely server convinced me to order the Carbonara special (didn't need any convincing) and my husband got the burger option which looked delicious (smash burger patties!) Next trip we plan on getting pizzas and another round of Caesar salads.

We tried this place for dinner recently and had a good meal. We started with the meatballs. They had good flavor especially with the ricotta, which had a lemon zest. We tried the meatzilla, the pepperoni and the clam pizza. Everything had great flavor. The crust is great. They forgot to put in the clam pizza with our other 2 pizzas, so we had to wait quite a bit for it, but it was worth it. Great location with friendly staff. The patio is nice and the bar area has a lot of seating. Lots of similarities to Goodfriend

The whole crew here is wonderful. I don't know who chooses the employees, but they have got a real knack for getting really good people. Now, the food. The pizza is what I dream of. A light thin wood fired flavor, crispy crust with the best quality toppings that you can get. This place is a winner anyway you look at it.

Came here for dinner with my wife and daughter on Saturday night. Everyone we interacted with from host, to bartender, and our server were all super friendly. The patio was great with live music and tons of space. You can walk around the downtown square with your beverages while you wait for your table and the kids can play in the park area. The burrata caprese, and both pizzas we tried were all fantastic.

A breath of fresh air to downtown Garland. Open air restaurant with outdoor dining on a spring day. Good vibes IPAs on tap. I went on Friday a few days after opening at 5:30. It was steady at the bar. A few seats were open. The Glendale margarita was smooth. The IPAs were cold. I had the Meatzilla pizza add white onions with the hot honey on the side and two sides of ranch. I only had two slices left over. Then for desert I had three cannolis. Yum everything was tasty. The older people next to me said the chicken Parmesan was the best I've ever ate. I think Dave with One Bite reviews needs to try this New Haven style pizza. The city of Garland needed this place downtown. Cheers! Food/service/ambiance 5/5/5

Nice place off the Garland Square. Wonderful pizza. It was busy the night we went. Still got good service at the bar top.

They looked delicious. Looking forward to another visit!

This is the best pizza in DFW, and it's not really close. The classic original new haven style with just peccorino and sauce is amazing and the pepperoni is a must try. The Cesar salad is so much better than you could even imagine and the meatballs are superb!

Pizza like no other, and consistently busy. We are stuck on the chicken, gorgonzola, mushroom pizza - YUM, and the crust is soooooo good!

Wow. Just wow. I came to order take out. Probably 20 minutes from when I got it to when I ate it and good lord it was amazing! I can't wait to eat there when it is fresh and hot. I had a glass of wine at the bar while the food was being prepared and all of the bartenders, Mark, Megan and Mikayla ( I apologize if I spelled your name wrong) were friendly, helpful and happy to make suggestions. Very fun vibe inside and out and I can't wait to visit again!

Ambiance , drinks , and food was great !! We shared a meatball rigatoni pasta which was absolutely delicious. Forgot to take a picture . Definitely enough for 2 . We also ordered a 12" pepperoni pizza , crust is thin and awesome ! Overall great place to come on Friday night ! Bartenders are all so personable , outgoing , and hard working !! Sorry I couldn't post our food !

Appetizer was the wagyu meatballs "Millie's Meatballs", they were flavorful. Per my friend they need a tad more seasoning. The Caesar salad was exactly what a Caesar salad should be! Loved the dressing. Pizza was really fantastic, ordered the pepperoni and they were crispy and perfect. Excellent balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings. Loved the crust as well. We ordered the large and it could easily feed 4 people. For dessert we had the tiramisu, also good and a nice shareable portion. The servers were friendly and quick. We stopped by on a Saturday early evening and the place was busy, wait took about 10ish min so not too bad! The restaurant has a laid back alt vibe, nice sturdy chairs. There were also some booths and family style high tops with a lot of bar seating. Overall really enjoyed our visit and will be returning to try some of the other menu items.

Never had New Haven style before our trip here. It was awesome. My new favorite style for sure. The restaurants is cool and downtown Garland is cool.

Quality not consistent. Today got the large meatzilla and clam pies. Both were over cooked and hard to chew. So disappointing for a $40 pizza!

The pizza is absolutely fantastic, this is the best pizza place in Garland by a large margin. The staff is excellent, the service quick, everything clean and neat. I've gone here once a week for the past month and a half doubt will change that pattern anytime soon. Highly recommend this place.

Oh my gosh. Amazing pizza. Amazing salads. Amazing service. Such a fun atmosphere too. Way to go Garland for getting this place. It was sooo busy. Loved it and will crave it frequently. FYI- had the house salad(delish), pepperoni and Meatzilla pizzas. Crust is thin, charred New Haven Style.

This place has been super-hyped, so I was expecting to be let down. I was not only not let down, I'm now part of the fan club. The cocktails were tasty, our server did a great job despite our group of 8, and its worth a trip just for the tiramisu. I did get a dirty look from the owner/ manager for requesting parmesean. While I agree the pizza was delicious without it, I still want it. We will for sure be back.

Nice place but service is lacking. Our server was great, I meant they were out of almost everything we tried to order. Not sure for me if it's worth the 40 minute drive again.

Food was good I just didn't like the rush as soon as we walked through the door. They close at midnight on Friday and we arrived before 11 and were told we have 5 minutes to order our food. We always get pepperoni anyways so it worked for us but we had to hurry to look over appetizers. We went with the bread and it was a good choice because it was simple and what worked for our family so that was the good outcome. Our waitress was not as attentive as we felt she could have been. At a point she was on her phone when she passed our table saying she had an emergency and she we would be back. We kept trying to get her attention for refills all to be passed up. Maybe another time of day would be better. If you have smaller children, outside may be a better accommodation. Ours are older however inside is more of a bar time vibe. If you don't mind like we didn't, then it works. Pizza was excellent! Drink size was small for me, hubbs and oldest daughter but of course refills are available. We would come back.

Hands down, the BEST pizza ever. I have been at least 10 times since opening. This is our go to spot for family outings and date night. From atmosphere, to service, to food - everything is 5 stars. They are doing it right here. Never tried anything we didn't like, and we can also say - the best burger we've ever had too! We love this place! So glad you opened!!

Went there as a foodie adventure with my wife after the Eclipse. The place was kind of busy, mostly outside but plenty of tables inside. We opted for a table just inside one of the open garage doors and ordered two cocktails. The drinks were good - not great. Very sweet and not strong. But for less than 10 each, fair enough. We ordered the meatball app and a large pepperoni. Food came out at a good pace, not to fast but we didn't wait forever, either. The meatball app was good. Four meatballs in sauce. It's what you would expect - maybe a bit smaller than what I would have hoped, and for $14, was our least-favorite item. Well, until we get to dessert - more on that in a minute. The pizza was very, very good. All the ingredients tasted top-notch and the pizza had the burn you want. One slice was maybe a bit north of done, but I ate it without any problems. We killed most of the pie. We went to order dessert, and opted for cannoli's. Our server warned us at this point, she really could not recommend them, but we ordered one, nonetheless, as they are only $3 each. Yeah, she was right. It's a fried tube filled with whipping cream from a can. It's a very poor version. Don't order this. The service was very good - almost a bit too much, like they were looking for positive feedback at every step. The ambiance was "ok", I guess. I'm not sure what they are going for. They are not building around "Fortunate Son", the song, it's more like Austin funky but the "lite" version for old (new!) Garland. But overall, it's fine. The outdoor eating area looks very enjoyable. There's lots of bar seating as well, and long stand-alone bars. Then a few tables and booths. Lots of different seating options to choose from. Holding back 1 star because we were not "blown away" enough to award 5 stars. Again, it's very good, a decent but not amazing value for money, and the service was good. The final judgement of a place is "Well, would we go back?" and the answer is "yes". Next time, sticking to the main pizza's vs. the apps.

Super thin pizza with a unique flavor. We tried the basic pizza. It was good but not great or amazing. Especially when you factor in the price $24 for a large pizza. The other ones with more toppings were more expensive but maybe they're worth it. If you are in town they are worth a try but I wouldn't drive a significant distance for this one.

Amazingly great pizza! I ordered the Original, which has san marzano tomato sauce, pecorino cheese,oregano, one of the best pizzas I've had in the Dallas metroplex! My husband has the Quattro formaggi and it was also very good. We started out with the meatballs appetizer and we were not disappointed. It was delicious. The owner came by and asked us how we were enjoying the food and after we raved about the pizzas I mentioned that I wanted to try teh clams spaghetti with white wine butter sauce as that's one of my favorite dishes. As we were finishing up the owner presented me with the clams spaghetti dish to try.OMG it was so good! Truly worth the dining experience! We can't wait to come back!

Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food. Sophia is amazing! This time we had the original and fourmaggio. The crush was perfectly crispy. (Didn't capture pictures) Can't wait to return to try more pizza variations.

They took our order but never entered it. Waste of time. They were not very busy at all. Terrible service and horrible old fashion.
