I am coming to Dallas for business and I would love to find a really good New York style Pizza place. Any help out there?

Brother's Pizza-

They have a couple of locations in Dallas:
- Close to SMU at Fitzhugh & Travis (west of 75, north of uptown)
- Also a little further North at Meadow & 75

Really good "New York style" pizza, I recommend the calzones, they are the best

Try Lover's Pizza on Lover's just before you hit Inwood.

If you want to 'feel' like you're back in NYC, go to Campisi's on Mockingbird Lane, east of Central Expressway and west of Greenville Ave. I think it's GREAT pizza...but I'm sure there are folks on here who will disagree. And...Campisi's is an SMU supporter. Also, there are some great old photos on the walls with autographs of SMU athletes, Dallas Cowboys, movie stars and celebrities.

Campisi's pizza is very good but I would not call it New York style. New York style is thin crust, like you would find on a boardwalk on the coast of New York or New Jersey.

Back in my day, early 80's there was this fantastic place simply called New York Pizza and it was over near Love Field.

Don't waste your time looking for NYC Pizza. Da Chicago Pizza is the da goal. No comparison.

Why would you come to Dallas to eat NYC pizza??

Campisis has always left me cold. I worked at Overland Pizza Co. while in school. Yes, Chicago style, and always the best.

At Campisis I taste sodium.

No way. Chicago syle is ok but there is just nothing like a good ole NY pizza pie.

Good point. However, there are great NY style pizza places in the sticks of San Antonio and even Austin and it is a little far to have a weekly fix of Pizza.

I prefer Lover's Pizza on Lovers Lane (near love field) just east of inwood on the north side of the street (by Rafa's).

If you're working up in Addison/Plano area, go to Pastazio's Pizza. it's pretty good NYC style.

the above post is right though, if coming to dallas, eat a steak. Bob's is best.

Go to Prego's Pasta House on Greenville. (Just opposite SMU... between Lovers and Yale.)

Not NY style, but the best pizza in town... (With Campisi's running a tight second...)

Personally, I would call it "St. Louis Style" pizza. I doubt they would call it the same. The only pizza I've had that's bettter, has been on "The Hill" - the Italian district - in St. Louis.

I have to second the "Brother's Pizza" recomendation. We have the original in the neighborhood where I grew up. It's the previously unmentioned Forrest and Abrams location.

Brother's is stellar.

Do I feel a Pizza Wars thread coming on?

I love Campisi's pizza. I miss that now that I am in Austin.
