Pizzeria Testa

This pizza is the closest to an Italian pizza in Dallas I could find! The dough is just like the one my father makes, the crust is thin and the cheese is abundant and of high quality!! The Ortolana I ate was just like the one I would eat in Rome! I’m so glad I found this pizzeria so I can take a small slice of home with me even in Texas! The server was also super kind and cordial and took the time out of the busy day to take a picture of our whole group!! Amazing experience all around!

3.5. Had a spicy pepperoni as recommended and it was ok. Def fresh ingredients and tasty crust but was absolutely not cooked enough. My server said that’s the Neapolitan style. I’ve been to dozens of neopolitan pizza joints, including in Italy and No it’s not. I guess you’re supposed to ask for extra crispy if you don’t want the crust 1/2 raw. The atmosphere is pretty cool.

We came here for dinner for the first time last night and loved it! It’s very cute inside and there’s a ton of outside seating! Great vibe everywhere! The pizza was probably the best we’ve had in Texas and the appetizers (kale salad and bruschetta) were also amazing!! We’ll certainly be back with our dog!! 🐕

We love Pizzeria Testa! Amazing pizza. Definitely try the La Quercia wine. And you can’t miss Keaton’s espresso martini with the tiramisu. Keaton has been our amazing server a few times. We weren’t even espresso martini people until Keaton persuaded us to try it and now it’s a favorite.

A friend brought me here for a birthday it is very relaxing and quaint and delicious place to eat real Italian food. And they're wine list is to die for... Hands down the best crust EVER..!

The pizza was wet and dripping! They forgot to put any salt in the pasta. They apologized and made it again but I lost my appetite by then. The waitress came 3 times to ask if we were ready to order, when we had already asked for 5 minutes in the beginning! The front desk wasn’t pleasant or cheerful. It was a sad place. Overall a 5/10. Spent a lot of money for nothing. We went and ate chicken shawarma from the next street!

We recently hosted a baby shower here and I can not rave enough! The venue was perfect and staff was so attentive! Everyone raved how good the food was! If you planning an event this is a great place! I will be back for sure! Thank you, thank you!

This pizza spot is legit! The wood oven give the crust that perfect chewy charred taste. Toppings are simple but fresh -- just good mozzarella, sauce, and sausage. Cozy vibes too while getting real authentic Italian pizza. A must try if you’re craving that Napoli flavor!

Excellent service. 5 star restaurant quality service without the price. Try the brushetta with ricotta and you won't want it any other way. I added a splash of balsamic and EVOO, sigh. I need it now. The Quatro Formoggio is amazing. Don't skip the Arancia balls. Plenty of vegetarian options for your vegie friends. If you are a carnivore, get the pepito with meatballs. Heaven.

Delicious Wood fired Neapolitan pizza! Still a top five pizza destination in Dallas! The crust is crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Tomato's are fresh and zesty. As always, I can't wait to come back!

One of my favorite restaurants, and its a fight for top 3 pizza shops for me. Ones a chain, ones a nyc style pizza place and pizzeria testa. So they all get their own respective categories. They have a "meter long" pizza option with our four pizza choices which is cool and all for the aesthetics but I think the round boi's taste better. I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest getting the Rodfather, it comes with Spianata which makes it spicy and good. The Marinara pasta was not bad. too fresh and light for our american palate. This is my 4th time and counting coming here.

We ordered the Margherita Sbagliata and the Peppe which was plenty for the three of us. The Margherita stayed thin and crisp, however the Peppe was a bit of a sogfest, unfortunately (the spianata on it was delicious though). The Margherita was perfect - the marinara sauce was tangy and a perfect complement to the dollops of pesto, and I can see myself coming back just for that pie. For dessert, we tried the tiramisu (very standard), and the nutella Panuozzi, which will tempt you by its very name, but should be skipped. It's essentially a nutella calzone - nutella stuffed into two layers of bread. Sounds like an instant winner, but the bread is extremely chewy and hard to eat, and the nutella flavor is a bit lost in the breadiness of it all. I would recommend for Testa to lose one layer of bread - we just need a simple vessel to shovel the Nutella into our mouths. Thanks!

Fav pizza place for this style! We came recently and order the meter king pizza. You can choose up to 4 different flavor and this was perfect for a party of 6!

Cocktails are pretty standard here! Pizza is good, I haven't tried the pasta yet. I've been a few times and it was pretty slow inside so not sure if that's a indication of it being popular or not.

Great food, wine and cocktails. The staff is friendly, helpful with suggestions and attentive! Perfect for a date night, or meeting with friends/colleagues!

So yummy! It was very fast service and wasn't too busy. We had very nice staff and the meal was great.

Came here on a double date and got dirty martinis and espresso martinis. The espresso were way better than the dirty. We got the pizza rolls for an all and they were pretty good. We split a few pizzas and all of them were good but the size is pretty small for the price. I like the atmosphere of this place and the service went smooth. I would come back and try again.

Visited this place for a bday dinner on a Saturday night. Drinks Fragolino Press - yes Summer Peach Mule - no--too much ginger beer Espresso Martini- yes Food Metro Mista- Salsiccia & Funghi, Quattro Formaggi, Pesto, and Bianca- the slices were bigger than expected. I enjoyed the Salsiccia & Funghi the most. Fusilli Pesto- not much flavor Rigatoni Bolognese- very good The salads- just ok. The customer was a 10/10

Pizzeria Testa is delicious! We came here on a whim Saturday night for dinner and I'm so glad we did! It was pretty busy but we were seated immediately even without a reservation! We split the testa rosa between two people and it was so yummy. The crust was the perfect thickness and not too chewy. It had just the right amount of sauce and they didn't skimp out on the toppings. I'll definitely be coming back!

This pizza is so so so good, I've already been back. The dough is the perfect balance of chewy and crispy and is the perfect thickness. I have not tried a bad thing here yet. My favorites are either the Pesto Pizza or the Primavera Pizza. Their tiramisu is also an amazing dessert!

During COVID, I resorted to Goldbelly to fulfill my pizza fantasies from NYC, being generally unsatisfied with any options that Dallas had to offer. In a moment of quiet desperation, I even reached out to the owner of another pizza restaurant out of state to ask if they too, would ship. They told me they didn't -- but, kindly referred me to Testa, which I am eternally grateful for. Who knew that great pizzerias have such a secret, internal network! If you are new to Neapolitan-style pizzas, the quality of the dough preparation with 00 flour as well as the oven temperature and cooking process have a steep learning curve... and these guys really know what they're doing. Watching and learning from Maestro Vito Iacopelli on YouTube has been an inspiration in this regard. I've dined both in-person and via Uber Eats at least 30 times. I'm not sure if this is now a point of pride or embarrassment, but every time I order, Uber Eats lets me know I'm in the top 5% of customers. In all cases, the food has been consistently excellent. Our go-to is the large Pancetta salad and Primavera pizza. Testa, if you're reading this, I am praying you will consider adding a sourdough option to your menu at some point. I have cultivated an Italian Ischia starter at home that I would be happy to share for experimentation. I know some purists (hint, hint, AVPN) can be sticklers for the purist traditions, but who cares - la povertà è la madre di tutte le arti!

We love and frequent the original Frisco location, and ended up stopping by the Greenville location since we needed a quick dinner. Well, lives up to what we expected, considering the Frisco location makes our favorite Neapolitan pie in DFW. Margherita Sbagliata San Marzano Tomatoes, Burrata, Oregano, Basil, Pesto 17 Everything was excellent as expected. The pesto was a vibrant green color, which tells us that it is fresher and wasn't made days ago. The sbagliata is now my favorite pie in the city.

Pizzeria Testa has a nice comfortable atmosphere. We sat at the bar, and even though the bartender was slammed, he still did a great job giving us attention. Both the salad and pizza we had were delicious, and I would definitely return for more!

Spianatta rosettes, the Italian cream sodas, and the tricolore and pesto pizzas are all so delicious. The biggest star of our experiences here, though, is the tiramisu. It is absolutely unbeatable.

We made a reservation for 16. I confirmed the night before and received a text the morning of confirming the reservation. When we showed up the restaurant was closed and no one answered the phone. I left a message but no one called me back. Awesome! I'm not sure how this could even happen after confirming.

Delicious food with a great atmosphere. The pizza was thin crusted and cooked perfectly to be crispy and a little chewy. The Arancini was good and the filling was the right balance of creaminess. The kale salad was flavorful with the Gorgonzola, bacon, and lemon vinaigrette giving it a nice salty balance with the kale. The mushrooms and sausage with the tomato sauce was a great combo. Overall a nice evening out. I'd recommend snagging a table on the patio if the weather is nice. And definitely get reservations for the weekend.

Great pizza, good service and really nice atmosphere in a good location off Greenville.

I immediately ordered with my eyes because of photos of perfect leopard charred spots on the crust. Their margherita is great, but it spills its guts with each bite. Although the dough is chewy and each ingredient is high quality, instead of binding on the crust together, the sauce and the cheese just slide off and the pie is really soggy. Quite a mixed feeling after my first bite. I'll allow fork and knife for this one.

Best gluten free pizza I've found in Texas. My bf ordered the regular gluten-full pizza and abandoned his to eat mine because the crust was better! We always get the pesto pizza with a tiramisu for dessert! They have a nice espresso martini and wine selection as well. The appetizers are decent, but in my opinion not worth filling up on before your main course! There is another location in Frisco and both are very accommodating with great service. *Lots of brownie points for how well they've socially distanced their tables during the pandemic*

My love for pizza really exploded when I came here. Interior is nice and the staff is friendly. They have electronic menus to minimize contact. Our pizzas were crispy, chewy, and tasty in all the right places. We also got the arugula salad with it. I think alone it was a bit peppery but when you eat it with the pizza, it's the best combination.

Best pizza in Dallas by far. Pasta and cocktails were great also, bartender was really chill and took care of everything. 10/10, will be back in a week.

Called for a reservation and the woman forgot about me. Terrible service! The food is good but the pizza is way to doughy doesn't have enough of the meat, cheese, and sauce on it.

We dined in for the first time since early March, and this experience could not have been better. Service was thoughtful and fantastic, I loved the electronic menus and the social distancing steps taken. The food was also fantastic, both of our pizzas were delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their pizzas, because the dough and preparation was done very well. We finished with a Tiramisu, which was perfect for two people to share. Overall, highly recommend visiting for carry out or dine in!

fancy pizza in a fancy atmosphere. if you're not feeling fancy I wouldn't go. That being said, I loved their freakin pizza and the service was awesome. The outdoor seating is really nice and I'm looking forward to taking advantage of that more often when it's not 3 billion degrees outside.

My husband and I stopped by for a private event last Friday night- which was hosted in their private room. I will say- this room is PERFECT for a rehearsal dinner or a baby shower. Loved the space, super cute. Parking was a struggle. Plain and simple, lower greenville always sucks. They do offer a free valet, but my husband wanted to avoid that if possible. Street parking was very difficult but we were early enough in the evening that we did miraculously find a spot right on greenville in front of a club that was not open for the night yet. The restaurant was very busy around 7:30pm on a Friday night, as are most restaurants in the area. The smells were amazing though as soon as we walked in so we were excited to say the least. They had a house white and red for us that was pre-selected by the host of our event- and I will say the white was not great. But maybe it was just a cheap wine that was picked for the event? We were able to sample appetizers (the brushetta was VERY pretty), salads, pasta and pizza. And its sad to say we were super underwhelmed. It was not bad, but it was nothing I would rush out to go back to. The flavors were bland and forgettable. There are many other pizza places like this in Dallas I would go back to before this one (something like a fireside pies was better in our opinion). The prices were also pretty high. The house bread was interesting and we enjoyed it. The pesto pasta was interesting. And our favorite part was probably the white pizza. But again, we were underwhelmed and I cant say we would rush back between the pricing, flavors and parking.

Was most excited to try this place because they provide the option of gluten free for all their pizzas, but was even more delighted once I got a taste! Picked up from this place and the pizza was extremely fresh, light, and delicious! The decor and environment of this place is beautiful as well so can't wait to come back and dine in!

It's a large restaurant with a nice sized patio but it still felt quiet and intimate thanks to the booths they have around. The service was fast and friendly and the pizza was solid. It was a great spot for a family with young kids.

My new favorite pizza place in Dallas! Like most places on Greenville, it can get pretty busy on weekends, so be ready to wait (or make a reservation online). During busy times they do valet only. When it's less busy they open up the parking lot beside it. If you're looking for an appetizer, you have to go with the salami rosette! Dough rolled into a rose shape with meat + cheese inside is a great start to your meal. I feel like all of their pizzas are good, but some of my favorites are rodfather and calabrese. Inside is pretty clean and spacious, and I've never had a problem with the service. Can't wait to go back!

VERY VERY good pizza! Big menu, lots and lots of pizzas to choose from, as well as pasta, salads etc... Reasonable prices and great service. I will definitely be coming back and can't wait to take friends and family here!

There is no pizza that in this world (dramatic, yes, and I've been all over the world) that is this good. Antonio, one of the chefs, makes this place hold its ratings but Liz, the manager, makes us feel like family. I truly cannot say the same about any other restaurant in Dallas. We frequently eat out and nothing even comes close to PT. Okay, maybe a couple...but this is in my top 5 Dallas restaurants on so many levels!!!

Great service, and great food! Gentleman with the long blonde hair is an absolute rock star! He made sure my party was well taken care of! Will definitely be back!

I tried Pizzeria Testa tonight with my friend after searching for a random place to eat at 8:30pm (obviously we didn't plan ahead ). My friend wanted Italian so we decided to pick Pizzeria Testa since they were opened later until 10pm. I had high hopes for the ratings and so wanted to give it a 4 star rating or above but have to be honest! First off, it was empty and I noticed it seems like a rather large space and never too busy, even when I've passed by during what should be prime dining hours. The restaurant and space is beautiful though. Our server was great! He checked in with us often and was knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the Caprese salad and it was just okay. They brought little sides of salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar. Nothing to write home about in my opinion. Not much flavor and the tomatoes were kind of stiff. We ordered the veggie pizza and it was also just okay and had whole olives that rolled off the pizza. Not a lot of red sauce and it wasn't too hot. Not too much flavor either. Bland, not memorable and didn't feel satiated at the end of the meal. We also ordered a couple drinks. I started with a glass of rose and ended with a dirty martini. Honestly the martini was the most enjoyable part of my experience. Excellent and perfectly chilled. Without the service, ambiance and drinks, unfortunately my rating might have dropped. Prices were high and between a few drinks, the salad and pizza we had a $120 total tab including the 20% tip we left for our amazing server. Overall, I had such high hopes with all the great ratings but the food itself just didn't meet my expectations and that should be the most important part of dining out. I know there have been a few different restaurants in this space that didn't last over the years so I really hope this makes it. I probably won't be returning (sadly).

I was here with a large party. They charged $22 a head for pizza with the promise of bringing these large pizzas for all of the tables and keeping them coming as needed. The pizza we were brought was all veggies, they gave us tiny slivers that had meat. I was able to have 2 slices and so was my partner. There were 8 of us at the table table so that was about average for everyone at the table. After finishing the pizza, I ordered a cocktail and more pizza for my table. I saw that 2/4 tables had received more pizza. The waiter assured me that more pizza was on the way out. Great! Well I watched all the tables not only eat their pizza but then the waiter brought all the other guests boxes to take their extra pizza home. When the waiter started bringing checks out, with included gratuity, I reminded him that he told us another pizza was on its way out for us and we never got it he let me know it was his mistake "my bad"; he said he was supposed to divide the pizza he had provided the other tables and didn't. He acknowledged we didn't get any more food and was sorry. I let him know that partner and I were paying $45 for 4 slices of pizza along with our table and asked if they could maybe look into that? He said he understood and would check. Came back 10 minutes later(this has been 30 minutes of figuring this is out now) and offered one personal size pizza for the entire 8 person table. I declined. They made a ton of money off of this is party and couldn't offer to try and make things right in a way other than 1 personal sized pizza for a group of 8 people.

Food was SOOOO good. Had a gluten free crust and also a reg crust. Both were great. Sat at the bar, the tender was perf. Ambiance seemed a little fancy but whatevs, still good.

My new favorite pizza place in Dallas! The crust is deliciously chewy and not too thick. The focaccia is a basket of pizza crust and quite tasty! The large salads are big enough for four adults to share as a small starter each. The pizzas are big enough to share if you're aim is forced portion control and have a small salad. They aren't so big that one person can't finish it by themselves though. If you liked FireCrust Pizza (which shuttered several years ago unfortunately), this is the closest in taste. Just a little more expensive. The interior is very open and modern. They also have a side room that looks big enough to host a good sized party. Wish they had more food selections on their Happy Hour menu, but maybe it'll come with time.

Best pizza in town!! I have tried other places but keep coming back! So Yummy! Everything on the menu is delicious!!

Ambience:4 Food:5 Service:2 Value:5 Return:4 With this my first visit on a rainy Friday night ... First Impression: striking dining room - casual stylish guests - many tables filled with families with babies and tots - oops, sudden ugliness with the appearance of one their staff coming up bickering to the hostess at the reservation stand while I was about to be seated - spoiling a lovely image. Service: sweet was our waiter but not well trained whatsoever, including, placing tray of overflowing drinks in front of us for us to take them off the tray ourselves, really?!? - and - asking if we wanted our check before asking about coffee and desserts. Dinner: absolutely delicious - fabulously fresh and crispy "Pancetta" salad - amazing pizza crust, savory ingredients, plus runny egg "Contadina" - rich and definitely to be shared "Tiramisu". Cheers!

Perfect venue to host my SIL's baby shower! Liz was incredibly easy to work with and was extremely detailed in planning the food and timing of our event. The lighting in the Terrace room was gorgeous and was conveniently connected to the patio which gave our 35 guests extra room to hang out. Pizza was delicious and Lindsay did an amazing job attending to our group. Everyone had a wonderful time - So appreciative of the team at Pizzeria Testa - highly recommend!

Pizzeria Testa takes me back to those late nights, in Florence, Italy, while in college, a slice of funghi pizza pie to my left and a glass of Pinot Noir to my right, when I didn't realize that pizza in Italy was the greatest thing on earth and could never be replicated. Boy was I wrong! Pizzeria Testa brought back such a precious moment in my life. I had to just simply sit there and savor the flavor and the experience. This establishment, trendy and stylish, fits right in with the Lower Greenville crowd. The head chef and owner made themselves known immediately after we were seated and presented us with complimentary potato croquettes, stuffed with ham/salami, cheese, parsley, and guess what folks? Potatoes! The pizza dough is only made up of about four ingredients, just the way pizza dough should be. One person may enjoy the pizza all to themselves or you might be like me and eat most of it, try to be cute, and leave a couple of slices for a snack 30 minutes down the road. With such impeccable service and delightful staff, along with its award winning worthy food, this place will do well! Ciao Bella

Love this place for so many reasons! 1. Food is so authentically good! Fresh, all natural ingredients. 2. Ambiance is so classy, nice, clean and modern. Pizza wood fire oven kitchen has an open kitchen concept which so fun to watch how their pizzas are made. 3. Service is awesome. Michael, was a friendly, fun loving sincere guy who loves his job and told is what's good in the menu. 4. The water is soo tasty. Yes, that's right you read it right. I tried it then my husband told me its on the menu that they have a reverse osmosis filtration in the house so no wonder the food is soon good as well! Will come back soon! Tomorrow maybe! Check it out and you'll Love It too!

Worst Rigatoni Bolognese I've ever had. We even sent it back because it was so under cook. Came out the second time no better. So much for trying this place.

From the time we arrived to the time we left it was a disaster. I would hate to see this place on a busy day because they could not even handle a small crowd. Our waitress came with the wrong bottle of wine and wine glasses. She wait 10 minutes to get back with the correct glasses after making drinks for everyone else. The bottle was not presented and carelessly opened. When we told her this was the incorrect bottle instead of fixing it she argued that we must be looking on the wrong menu. She finally brings the correct wine and his opening the cork pointed towards my family. And again does not present the bottle. Once we are set and she fills up our water ONCE she drops the olive oil all over the floor. Poor management, bad attitude and we can't read or hear apparently. I would avoid this place just because of the horrid experience we had.

You should come here! End of story. Everything was delicious! Pizza, pasta, sandwich, dessert...whatever you get, you can't go wrong! Beautiful restaurant with an open kitchen and friendly staff. We will most definitely be back!

Delicious addition to the mid Greenville pizza game. We had lunch here on a Saturday and we were pleasantly surprised. It was not super packed and the buildout inside was beautiful. Modern farmhouse chic is what I have decided to dub it. The space is super open and bright. We really liked the setup. There is even a window to the side where you can see the staff making fresh pizza dough. Two large pizza ovens are the centerpiece of the mine dining room. We started out with some wine flights and a caprese salad. The olive oil / balsamic on the salad made for great dipping of the airy amazing pizza crust (more on that later). A manager or owner brought out the wine flights and he was super knowledgeable on the wines (I believe all of them are Italian). The menu has a healthy dose of salads, pastas, and pizzas. The pizzas were the highlight and since the whole restaurant is based around the pizza we had to have some pies. The pizzas are separated by white and red pizzas - pretty cool! We got the quatro formaggi and a red sauce sausage one with mushrooms (forgot the name). Both were super delicious and the best part was the crust. Very airy and light. Tasted like pizza in Italy! We had 2 pizzas and a salad between 3 adults and a two year old. Just the right amount of food to leave satisfied and not over stuffed. There service was perfect and our waitress was very attentive to any of our needs. We were too full for dessert but will definitely be back!

A friend of mine and I went to the new, second, location of Pizzeria Testa for lunch today. She loved the Frisco location and wanted to try the new one on Greenville. There were very few people there at noon and by the time we left, we were the last. The interior is super cool with the metal and glass and exposed brick and schmoozey, modern decor. This location has a full bar and let me say, our martinis were killer! So good! We had a couple starters. The Caprese and the Prosciutto & Melone. The Caprese was great!! The tomatoes were sweet and juicy, yet crisp and fresh! Not sure how they did that but they weren't too green! Yummy. The balsamic drizzle added the acidic undertone to the crisp sweet tomatoes. Just right. The Prosciutto & Melone was a bit bland. The melon wasn't sweet and the Fiore di Latte wasn't salty enough (or have much flavor at all really) but the Prosciutto was good sooooo... we ate most of it. The Pinoli & Prosciutto salad was good. I'd prefer a bit of spinach to be added to the spring mix so it wasn't so prickly. The strawberries mixed with the cheese and nuts and Prosciutto was a good mix; If you like salads. The Rodfather pizza was good! The crust was soft on the inside. Had a little chew to it. There was plenty of hot, malty cheese and the Spianata was good. It was a hit. I got a cappuccino and my friend got a latte for dessert. The latte disappeared instantly so I'm guessing it was up to par. The cappuccino was really good with a touch of cinnamon. Perfection! The thing that made this a five star visit was the service. Our server was very nice. Patient that we weren't in a hurry at lunch. Several people came by to check on us and just visit. Everyone was so nice. Give this place a try for lunch! Not many people know they're open so there's hardly anyone else there. (Until word gets out!)

This place has an amazing atmosphere that is perfect for date night or enjoying a night out with friends. The pizza is amazing and made with the freshest ingredients. It is served hot out of the brick oven and the sauce is flavorful.

Daughter wanted some pizza. So I got on yelp and these fellas were #1. So had to see it myself. Got a sausage pizza. What can I say... it was Delicious. Also had one of their drinks. Forgot what is was called but it had gin and basil. Again delicious. But not as strong as I would have liked. More ice than drink. Eh, maybe it's just me, though when I have a drink, I prefer more liquid than ice. Also, the wait staff was good. Friendly and helpful. Thanks for the delicious pizza!

Yesterday was our first time trying this place out. Just WOW! So impressed with the decor, cleanliness, and overall ambience. I should have taken photos of the place and not just the food, but the foooood!! To start, we had a brunch bruschette with ricotta, honey, raspberry, and lemon zest. We couldn't finish our pizzas because of this, but so worth it! Pizzas are classic Italian thin crust and everything we could have hoped for. In large part probably due to the amazing ovens visible to the restaurant from the completely open kitchen!Ingredients are top notch, from the mozzarella (fior di latte) to the San Marzano tomatoes, and delicious prosciutto and other meats. Another plus we loved was that they have Peroni on draft which is hard to come by! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. PLEASE give this great place your business! If you like it, keep coming back and tell your friends! Lower Greenville is our favorite neighborhood in Dallas, but it can be very hard on restaurants. We have seen some great places come and go because of competition - support your favorite local businesses!
