A Guide to the Best Pizzerias in Dallas

Dallas may be known for its barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine, but the city's pizzerias are gradually creating competition in popularity. From traditional Italian restaurants to creative modern pizzerias, Dallas offers lots of options for pizza lovers. Maybe you enjoy a classic Neapolitan pie baked in a wood-fired oven, a New York-style slice large enough to fold, or something Texan, these five pizzerias stand out from the crowd.

On the outside, this new spot may look like your typical local bar, but step inside, and you'll quickly realize that the pizza is the main attraction. Following the success of its sister tavern, Bryan Street Tavern, which is known for its award-winning thin crust, Sylvan Avenue Tavern maintains high standards with fresh homemade pizza dough and sauces. Each pie is perfectly cooked in their stone oven.

The best part is that you can split a pizza in half to enjoy two different styles. If you can't decide what to order, the SAT Deluxe comes loaded with adventurous toppings, while pizza lovers will appreciate their classic Margherita.

Why settle for the typical 12-inch pizza when you can get a massive 30-inch wonder at Serious Pizza. This Deep Ellum cult favorite, which briefly closed and reopened under new management, now features a floating DJ booth and a new Fort Worth location. Bring your friends and create a giant custom pie or opt for a signature favorite like "The Jerk," topped with red sauce, mozzarella, bell peppers, red onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and spicy jerk chicken.

Delucca Gaucho Pizza & Wine mixes the Brazilian steakhouse experience with all-you-can-eat pizza. Gauchos stroll through the dining area, offering slices from at least 15 different pies, giving diners the chance to try a variety without feeling too full. The set menu includes Lobster Bisque, Kobe Meatballs, Arugula Salad, and Dessert Pizzas. A standout is the Garlic Picanha pizza, featuring house-ground steak, roasted garlic, and fresh parsley with a Brazilian touch. Pair your meal with a signature Caipirinha cocktail.

At La Pizza & La Pasta pizza is a star attraction. Their wood-burning oven, fired up to 900 degrees, delivers authentic Napoletana pizza in just 90 seconds. A standout choice is the spicy Massese, topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, housemade mozzarella di bufala, Ferrarini spicy salami, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil. For something different, try the Pizza Fritta Montanara, small appetizer-sized pizzas with a deep-fried crust that highlights traditional Naples street food.
