It’s hard to think of a more universally beloved cuisine in North Texas than Mexican food, and, of course, the ubiquitous-in-these-parts Tex-Mex subgenre. But pizza could easily rank right up there when it comes to dishes that please people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. In 2020, pizza became more popular than ever thanks to its decades-long reign as the perfect food for take-out and delivery. And ever since the pandemic first hit, the Dallas-Fort Worth pizza scene continues to thrive and innovate, introducing previously lesser-known styles like the rectangular, thick-crust, Detroit-style version to neighborhoods all over the metroplex. Here are the best places to get pizza in the city and suburbs, from shiny newcomers to iconic mainstays.

Eataly wouldn’t be the all-things-Italian culinary extravaganza it is without pizza on the menu, and the pizza Napoletana it doles out in 90 seconds from its 900-degree wood-burning oven shines as a prime example of the dough-sauce-cheese holy trinity. Make sure to try the piquant Massese, topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, housemade mozzarella di bufala, Ferrarini spicy salami, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil. Or check out the Pizza Fritta Montanara, appetizer-size pies with deep-fried crust that exemplify the classic Naples street food.

One of the newest pizza purveyors on the scene is disguised as a neighborhood tavern, but one look at the menu (not to mention every table in the place), and it’s clear that pizza rules the roost here. Like the award-winning thin-crust pies at sibling restaurant <a href="https://bryanstreettavern.com/" target="_blank">Bryan Street Tavern</a>, SAT’s pizzas feature handmade crusts and sauces while utilizing fresh ingredients to top the stone-fired creations. Best of all, they’ll let you pick any two varieties for a half-and-half creation that allows you to sample more flavors in one seating. Try the SAT Deluxe with a little bit of everything, or the simple perfection of a traditional Margherita. How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating or call 972-913-4114 for take-out.

Live music and the smell of the wood-fired pizza oven fill the air at this friendly joint on the town square. New York-style pies featuring all-natural sauce and Texas-sourced ingredients are as popular as the local bands who regularly take the stage.

Cadillac Pizza Pub

Founder Jay Jerrier started this wildly popular pizza chain from a humble mobile pizza oven in a parking lot back in 2009, before expanding all over the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (and into other parts of Texas, too). Making use of 00 flour imported directly from Italy, hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella fresh-pulled daily at each location, and a 900-degree wood-fired oven, everything works in concert to create some damn fine pies. One all-time fan favorite well worth trying is the Honey Bastard, stacked with hot soppressata, bacon marmalade, and habanero honey.

This envelope-pushing restaurant takes a Brazilian steakhouse approach to all-you-can-eat pizza with gauchos roaming the upscale dining room, pausing at each table to offer thin slivers of at least 15 different pies (making it easy to try them all without feeling overly full). Lobster Bisque, Arugula Salad, Kobe Meatballs, and Dessert Pizzas are included in the fixed-price meal. The Garlic Picanha pizza perfectly infuses the crust with Brazilian flair courtesy of house-ground steak, slow-roasted garlic, and fresh parsley—plus, it pairs particularly well with a signature Caipirinha.

Chances are you don’t live in this remote town nestled between Flower Mound and Denton, but it’s worth the trip for a change of scenery and some killer pizza. Situated in an old firehouse filled with Tuscan antiques, the space exudes a cozy hominess reminiscent of a visit to Nonna’s house (use your imagination if you didn’t actually have one of those). Look for the pickup truck bed mounted above the takeaway window, and you’ll know you’re in the right place for securing your “Argylian” style pie (we suggest the Forager, loaded with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, fresh spinach, and truffle oil). How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating.

Those in the know refer to this joint by its easier-to-say nickname, GAPCo, but no matter what you call it you’re guaranteed a fab experience thanks to its team of righteous Pizza Slayers. Thin-crust pies come with a variety of sauces and extra drizzles for customizing, as well as a vast lineup of toppings including lesser-seen additions like eggplant and poblano peppers. The Pesto Sciutto is a can’t-miss option, featuring pesto and prosciutto (obvi) along with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh arugula, garlic, and Roma tomatoes.

The surname Olivella carries a lot of cachet in pizza circles—as it should, being the third-oldest pizzaiolo family to hail from Naples, Italy. The local relatives carry on the traditions of their ancestors, transferring a little bit of history into every bite of their signature dough, whether it’s Neapolitan-style round crust or the super-thin Roman-style ovals. The sauceless Black Truffle option is a real showstopper, graced with house-made mozzarella, crispy speck, mushrooms, black pepper, and a healthy dash of truffle oil. The wine shop focuses on great values, and the Fort Worth location hosts pop-up Mo’s Detroit Pizza Pies Thursdays through Sundays, if you’re feeling a little deep and square.

Zalat hasn’t only survived the pandemic, it’s thrived with new stores opening at a steady pace since March, 2020. Cooked in old-school deck ovens, the pizzas here sport a nice chew rather than the super-crispy texture often found in thinner pies. Creativity abounds with each pie, including the Pho Shizzle, which recreates all the flavors of a piping hot bowl of the famous Vietnamese soup. But no matter which toppings you select, a side of their crave-worthy “Srirancha” (half ranch, half Sriracha) sauce comes with each order, but you’ll definitely need to order a few extra.

The menu features a whopping 31 different toppings for create-your-own pies, or you can always choose from a dozen-plus chef-curated combinations. Our recommendation? The Uncle Joe, a deceptively simple mingling of shaved red onion, garlic, thinly sliced tomatoes, and olive oil. Take-and-bake pies have also proved a big hit.

What started as a ghost-kitchen run out of the Zoli’s Addison location now has its very own space next door to the White Rock Cane Rosso. Specializing in Detroit-style square pies inspired by some of the most famous purveyors of the style, World Pizza Champion Lee Hunzinger spearheaded the concept. The thick pizzas showcase a uniquely buttery crust and high butterfat-content Wisconsin brick cheese (plus aged white cheddar and provolone) instead of traditional mozzarella. A dozen specialty pies can be ordered, including the cult favorite Bacon Jamz '03, littered with smoked pork shoulder, bacon marmalade, Mama Lil's peppers, red onion, and a charred pineapple drizzle.
