Pizza Cafe Denison — Restaurant in Denison

Just go! Eat! Enjoy!

Ingredients are flavorful, and the crust, for those of us New York pizza fans, the crust is just oh so right…hard to find in this part of the country. I would also be very surprised if you could find any more reasonably priced pizza in the Metroplex, and not sure why you would go looking.

Don’t just eat the pizza - a regular special (check the chalkboard) is a creamy-red-lobster-sauce ricotta-stuffed-ravioli. I know I should try one of the other pasta dishes, but I just can’t ever seem to pass this up. It arrives at your table still bubbling, piping hot, with mozzarella melted over the top. The lobster doesn’t hide, the pieces sitting in the center of the dish on top of the ravioli, covered in a sauce so good you’ll be dipping everything else on the table in it - if you manage to have any left when you’re done savoring every bite.

This isn’t a fancy eatery, it’s a family owned and run, classic, “Mom and Pop” place. “Pop” is in the kitchen and “Mom” runs front of house. Pizzas come with paper plates and napkins, and the building has been here a while; however, it is clean and doesn’t smell like chemicals or table top spray cleaners (which absolutely ruins a true food experience, most of your palate is smell!). Plus, It’s so nice to finally eat at a restaurant where you can hear the person speaking across the table!!!!

Also have a small refrigerated section to take home some of those delicious ingredients.

TLDR: Basic, clean environment, Mom & Pop restaurant, amazing NY style pizza and even more delicious Italian food. Not too expensive. $10 lunch specials, $10-16 dinner pastas, incredible pizza...

Crust of pizza was incredibly tough and tasteless, as if the dough was perhaps overworked, under proofed, or maybe just old. I doubt there was any salt in the dough recipe. Veggies were soggy. Pepperoni not even slightly crisp like it ought to be on a fresh pizza. The contrast between tough dough and soggy toppings left me unsure as to whether the pizza was over or undercooked. It's a mystery to me why this place has such a high rating, I've eaten frozen pizzas that were half the price and less disappointing. I've got half a pizza left that I'm in dread of either having to eat or throw out. My dining experiences in the Denison and Sherman area have been pretty underwhelming across the board- I chanced this establishment because I thought a place with a "NOW OPEN" banner outside would be eager to outshine nearby competition and produce excellent food to cultivate repeat business. That doesn't appear to be happening here. My order was correctly assembled and ready on time, so they've got this aspect of things on...

Arrived in town later than expected due to road construction and was starving. Found this place on our way to our Airbnb and decided to give it a chance....So glad we did!!! Some of the best pasta I've ever had. Unassuming exterior and interior, but don't let that fool you. There's some of the best pasta dishes awaiting you inside. Interior wasn't anything fancy and had a few dine in tables, but is set-up more for take-out. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, baked tortellini, house salad, and cheese bread. First, the portions are HUGE! Second, the food was beyond delicious. The portions were so big, we had leftovers for the following day's dinner and it was just as good the second time around. Definitely 🌟...
