Very OT... Pizza

[Limp Lizard]

I admit I get my pizza usually from chains It seems like the last few years all the chains have changed their red sauce to the same awful stuff. Where (I live near Alliance Town Center)can I find decent, not great Za? Just not the new sauce everyone is serving.

BTW my favorite pizza of all time WAS Gordo's in North Dallas. If you know of any pizza approaching that let me know. Too bad it closed down. I am no pizza expert/snob, but I know what I like

Was Gordo's near SMU?
I remember going to place named Gordo's or Gardo's. But I was 7 or 8.
I remember they had raised trays the pizza was put on at table and your served off that.

If you like Detroit-style pizza, try Jet's. Out of all the national take-out chains, I think they're the best. Of course, I'm from the Motor City originally and so I'm biased.

Strange as it may seem, Little Caesar's and Domino's also started out in the Detroit area. But I wouldn't recommend them today. But back in Michigan in the '60s and '70s, they were actually pretty good!

Is Detroit style where they ladle the pizza sauce on top of the pizza? If so, its not my favorite.
I like thin crust the best.

I'd do the pizza zombie thing if someone pointed me in the right direction.

That's Chicago style, my favorite. There's a Rosati's in the Alliance/Keller area.

Not familiar with Gordo's. If Western Center is as good as Lake Worth, Bosses is really good. If you aren't familiar, very similar to Mama's, which looks to be in Keller as well.

I heard Pizza Snob closed.

Anyone know what it is now?

I really like Pie Tap. Similar pizza to Cane Rosso.

Zoli's is the best I've found in Dallas. Although there may be others that I have not found or tried yet. The chains all suck! Dominos... Papa John's... trash.

I like a lot of what Mellow Mushroom makes, and their crust is pretty darn good.

However, since getting a Big Green Egg we hardly eat chain pizzas anymore as my family prefers to bake their own.

I will continue to insist that the old Star Pizza off Shepherd in Houston produces the best pizza in all civilization. They make all their ingredients, and the sauce doesn't give me heartburn. A deep dish Joe's (spinach and roasted garlic) and a cold Shiner are restoratives for the soul...

I can’t stand Detroit style. It’s 90/10 bread to topping ratio.

For the fans of cauliflower rice.

It’s one of those obnoxious “trendy” coffee shops now. Still can’t believe pizza snob is gone. Absolutely loved their toppings.

Well, it's a sit down Sicilian / Italian restaurant but it's near you and the pizza in really good. It's the Sicilian Butcher. You might give them a try.

Ever since I moved to Arlington I've been discovering the very solid food scene there which is pound for pound better than FW or Dallas, IMHO.

If it's a convenient place for you... for New York style we get Bek's Nizza on Lamar (only BEK'S, not the other locations, they are noticeably better) and for loaded thicker crust, Old School on Abrams.

Zoli’s has been in Fort Worth for a few years. This is by the same family that owns Cane Rosso on Magnolia. Here is the Dave Portnoy ‘one bight’ review of the Fort Worth location.
