2020 has seen a surprising number of new Dallas pizza concepts, from Detroit-style to Chicago deep dish, but two unique restaurants prove there is North Texas pizza territory still to be covered.
Yonkers Pizza Company
8421 Westchester Drive (Preston Center)
Opened by Tony Avezzano (son of Dallas Cowboys special teams coach Joe Avezzano), this new restaurant is serving up New York-style pizzas at Preston Center. The spot offers whole specialty pies like The Chloe with prosciutto and mozzarella, The Stoney with Canadian bacon, jalapenos, and mushrooms, and The Aikman with Jimmy’s Italian sausage. You can also just grab a slice of New York-style pizza and customize with cheese, sauce, and one topping. Yonkers has several different staple Italian pastas (lasagna, ravioli, and spaghetti & meatballs) and a few desserts like cannolis and caramel knots as well. Oh, and don’t forget the garlic knots.
Far East Pizza Co.
1500 N. Greenville Avenue, Suite 110, Richardson
As far as pizza concepts go in North Texas, this new takeout-only concept is unique. This Asian-inspired pizza spot is a collaboration between chefs Nidhi Mittal and Troy Gardner (TLC Vegan Kitchen), who crafted a new menu of delivery or pick-up dishes blending Indian and American Italian cuisine. Six different specialty pizzas range from butter chicken to halal beef sausage and beef pepperoni. You’ll also find pastas, The Ultimate Dehli Sandwiches, salads, drinks, and desserts.
