We drove 1.5 hours to try this pizza (across the Metroplex). Crust was a little too charred (couldn’t eat it). But the cheese was quality, sauce was on point and the undercarriage was decent (not crispy). Liked the saltiness of the pizza. All in all, glad we drove to try it. However, Garlic Knots were amazing, Caesar salad was ok and the wings were crispy and meaty like I like them. Lastly, the service was amazing, these guys really enjoyed their work and served us the way they would want to be served, always on point!

Best pizza I ever had. Better than John’s of Bleeker and Joe’s NY easily. Pepperoni Add: Hot Honey Add: Onion

On Dave’s word we tried Fortunate Son. Amazing menu, but we came for the New Haven style pizza. It was exceptional. Best pizza we’ve ever had! Crispy thin crust with awesome ingredients. This is the Meatzilla! High score is legit for my experience. Until we ever get to CT.

Cut off early, but 8.2 is the score after an agonizing wait for a table. They gave us a complimentary cheese pizza, which was very much appreciated. Bar tender saw my shirt and brought a candle of Dave over to show me. Classy move and best pizza I’ve had in Texas.

Zero flop. Undercarriage to die for. Charred perfect. I would highly recommend getting the tomato pie along with the cheese. They are equally as good

Got the Pepperoni once, and the Meatzilla another time. Pepperoni was my favorite. Love the cupped ronis. Great flavor, amazing char, and it’s like a trip back East. Meatzilla is also solid, but too much going on for me. I’d recommend it, as I’m sure a lot of people love it, but I prefer more basic. Hot Honey isn’t my favorite, either. But if you like pizza exploration, try it! Best in DFW.

Average pizza at best. Still some of the better you can find in Dallas but it’s slightly below average on a tri state scale

First time trying New Haven style, it was delicious . I got both the Pepperoni and the Meatzilla, I definitely preferred the flavor of the pepperoni more but was probably a bit too charred for me, the Meatzilla wasn’t as charred but the taste didn’t hit like the Pepperoni. Take a lil char off the Pepperoni and I’ll go 8.7 but for now gotta go 8.2

First time having this style of pizza. Great flavor, great crust, no flop. Everything is perfect but because it’s the first time having this style, I’ll stay right at an 8.0.

Easy 9.1 - gasp! Terrific pizza! Perfect crisp, great undercarriage, and ZERO FLOP. The cheese was amazing, but the tomato pie is what sent it over the top for me. Tomato pie to die for! Must hit pizza place if you are in Texas. Drove up from Houston and it was worth it!

Absolutely zero flop. Super crispy. Great sauce. Not the biggest pecorino fan but still a very good pizza.

Honest pizza review here… Coulda just been an off night, coulda been a lot of things. Not an 8.1. Great crust, good cheese, but not enough sauce. Couldn’t finish a slice it was too dry, and random bits of dry crust rose up in the middle of the slice. Still appreciated the pie, very good elements, but poor execution, and again, could’ve been a bad night.

This is the first time I’ve ever liked a cheese slice over pepperoni. Nice chewy crust with salty cheese. Easily one of the best slices I’ve ever had!

It's over a 9 if on a Texas scale. As someone who grew up near New Haven, this is a solid representation of apizza. Pepperoni was better than the cheese, but the cheese was still very good. Annoying that they wouldn't do split pizzas and do 1/2 and 1/2. Our waiter told us it was "a hill the chef would die on". New Haven does 1/2 and 1/2. Oh well. Other than that, cool spot and excellent pizza.
