Eno's Pizza Tavern — Restaurant in Forney

Attention all pizza lovers in Forney Texas and the surrounding area…..looking for good pizza? Look no further. Eno’s Pizza in downtown Forney has you covered. I had been looking for a pizza joint that could get me as close to Chicago tavern style pizza as possible without having to drive ridiculous distances to get it. I moved bere from the suburbs of Chicago 3 months ago and I’m kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. Added bonus, Eno’s has what I call a game changer in terms of new and innovative pizza creations.

So I ordered two pizza’s, both of them small. The first was a sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom. The sauce was sweet and savory, everything you expect from a top tier pizza sauce. The Italian sausage was bold and flavorful, with just the right balance of spice and fennel. The pepperoni was on point. It had a nice bold kick, crispy edges, everything I love about pepperoni. The one area where I felt this pizza could be improved was the crust. While I enjoyed that the crust was super thin and crispy on the outer edges, it was a little chewy, almost gummy the closer you got to the center of the pie.

My second pizza was Eno’s “Pig Smiley”. I’m gonna warn you right now, everything you thought you knew about good pizza is about to get thrown out the window. The pizza consists of the same sweet and savory pizza sauce, the bold pepperoni, the Italian sausage and ham. It is then glazed with a honey sauce that they drizzle over it. I took one bite of this pizza and was very pleasantly surprised. You don’t think honey would work well with pizza. Who knew? My only complaint on this pizza was again the chewy crust toward the center. I’d guess if they left the pies in 2-3 min longer, that would fix the crust issue.

Now although I picked my order up, the restaurant looked to have a very cozy atmosphere. The outside of the store has a definite small town vibe as it sits in downtown Forney. The chairs and benches placed along the front of the restaurant make it that much more inviting.

Staff was super friendly, from the gentleman that took my order over the phone to the nice lady that rung me out once I arrived.

Cost was pleasantly surprising as well. For both pizzas the out the door price was $22 and change. Super affordable, which in today’s economy, that’s a blessing. Finally a restaurant owner who isn’t trying to break my wallet!

Overall I rate Eno’s a 4.25 out of 5 stars. I will definitely be patronizing this establishment more frequently, as I am a pizza connoisseur. Just remember folks, pizza is one of only a handful of foods that covers all 4 of the basic food groups. It’s the healthiest thing going…….feed that...

I have enjoyed Eno's for a long time. It's been my go-to pizza spot, not just in Forney but for a good while in any direction. I'm used to getting really good cracker crust pizza here in a nice chill atmosphere and feeling like I got my money's worth.

Today's visit was a total reversal of every previous experience I've had at Eno's. I'd heard the place was under new management and figured I'd make my own mind up as to whether it had changed anything, hoping it hadn't. It definitely has. And I'll say up front the place was packed when I showed up, and this made me happy. Feels good to see the good restaurants get business.

Then I got inside. Was sat quickly, beneath speakers emitting glass-shattering levels of noise at the start of round 3 of music bingo. Truly the noise level was seismic. I'd expect the vibrations registered on national earthquake detection systems. I could not actually hear my server's questions but had to infer his dialogue through context clues.

The guy with the microphone went from table to table singing to people and this is the point where I know I would have never gone here if I'd known this was happening, this is the opposite of my vibe. If someone tried to get me to sing with them in a crowded restaurant on a mic I'd probably throw up from stress.

Appetizers arrived in a timely manner. The meatballs were actually good, though smaller than I'd expect for something $16 meant to appetize 5. The artichoke dip was really disappointing. Flavorless, like a roux when it's still just flour and butter, before any of the ingredients are added.

The pizza was the saddest. I know Eno's pizza is going to be good every time, and this was undercooked and weirdly greasy. Reminiscent of Chuck E Cheese. Or like if Applebee's made pizza. Not at all what I expected and not something I super wanted to have spent money on, much less the amount you pay for what is normally really good Eno's cracker crust pizza.

Service was fine considering how crazy busy it was. And clearly the place is doing fine and people will frequent this establishment in its new form. But I do not think I will be going here again. And I wish they had changed the name so I would not have gone there for a special occasion expecting...

To Mr. Cruella de Vil, this is one of the two "homeless" men you were ranting about. Sorry it has taken so long to respond, I finally panhandled enough money to afford a phone and log onto the shelter's Wi-Fi. All jokes aside, I just found out about your review and felt I needed to respond to set the record straight. Before coming to the restaurant that day we had literally just come straight from the dog groomers in Heath (where we live) so your assertion that the 'mutt stank up the whole restaurant' is completely unfounded. We were in shorts and t-shirts like half of the restaurant and we bathe at least once a month.. I can only speculate that what you were smelling was either your un-closed legs OR your bad attitude. As the waitress, the waiter, the manager, and even myself told you on that Friday the dog (Australian Shepherd & Corgi Mix) is a registered service animal. I looked you in your face and asked you if you wanted to see his registration and you didn't say a word. Instead you flock to the internet like a coward to post a negative review. From looking at your profile page it seems you do that a lot... especially at casinos. I hear a lot of people lose their life savings at those places.. it kind of makes me wonder when I see you complaining about a few bucks at a local pizza joint and stiffing the waitress.. That's alright though some people are just professionally outraged and perpetually unhappy. By your own admission you have a difficult time with comprehension whether it be four people telling you a dog is allowed to be in the restaurant or a sign at the front door that says "Please Seat Yourself. We'll Be With You Soon".. it's too much for you to handle so you get angry and take it out on the world. You're the guy everyone laughs at and talks about when you leave the room. It's a sad existence! We can agree on one thing though, the pizza here is fantastic. We come here all the time and will definitely be back in the future. P.S. Everyone is extremely impressed at all of the synonyms you used for 'dog', but you left one out. It's the word for a female dog.. it's also the word that can be used to describe your...
