I've driven by this spot on my way to Downtown, several times, and each time I tell my wife that "we need to try that place". Well, after about 8 months of procrastination, my daughter finally persuaded me to make a visit.... And it was definitely worth it. The food (at least what we ate) was really good. We started off with the espinaca dip. It's a twist on spinach dip with hatch green chile's, served with crotini's (think large crouton-esque bread slices) and my daughters tore that dip up (I may have slightly assisted in the teardown of the dip, too)! It's a must-try if you are into spinach dip. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza and although it was tad greasy, it was top tier texture and taste-wise. If I'm ranking, it is, without question, in my top 5 Dallas pizza spots list. I'm a sucker for the thinner/lower-profile cut of pizza, so this was right up my alley.
One thing you'll have to be prepared for is that the staff, while nice and available, are pretty hands-off. You order your food by phone, via a QR code at your table. That said, if you need anything, they are more than willing to assist. Our server, Gabriel, was very helpful and readily available if we needed anything. Note: I believe their prices may be a bit elevated, primarily because I assume they pay their employees a decent wage and you are not able to leave a tip on your card, when paying online.
Outside of the food, and why I will continue to support this restaurant, I love the fact that they have decided to plant their flag in, what most would consider, an undesirable part of Dallas. While many residents and businesses are choosing the suburbs, the owners of the Wriggly Tin have decided to swim upstream. Being a lover all things Dallas-proper, I completely respect and love what they are doing. I pray that this establishment is uber-successful and becomes a staple in the in the South Dallas community.
