Dallas Eats Pizza

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I hope you are excited for my first "Dallas Eats" post of the week! And I am SO obsessed with this pizza place, I'm thinking that a repeat visit will be necessary this week. And the best place for pizza in Dallas is definitely il cane rosso.

When you first step foot in the door, you are greeted by the most amazing smell in the entire world! Seriously, it smelled so good that you knew right away your meal would be one to remember. And with an oak-wood fired pizza oven sitting right in the middle of the restaurant, you could be assured you were to have a truly authentic Neapolitan Style Pizza.

And let me just explain about this pizza...
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS
...and that is a bold statement

Because, I've had some darn good pizza in the past. Where have I had this pizza you may ask? Well in Italy of course! Italian pizzas focus on using only a few ingredients, but those are high quality ingredients. And Il Cane Rosso has that same mentality. Virtually none of their pizza's are overloaded with cheese and toppings like the typical "American" pizzas are.

The pizza I consumed on this visit was called the "Special K" and it was simply topped with fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, basil, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil.
The best pizza in the entire world

And it was perfect!! Really, the thing I had to rave the most about was the crust. It was soft and chewy with the right about of crisp crust all thanks to the amazing pizza oven. Because of my obsession, I had to ask the staff multiple questions about how they made the crust so. darn. tasty. The secret? Double Zero Italian Flour. But really, to really understand you must experience (my mouth is literally watering as I am writing this).

That being said... you should go to Il Cane Rosso....like now...and take me with you... please and thank you!

PS: Shout-out to Julie!! Happy Happy Birthday!!!

New Week, New Theme

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend! Mine was lovely, especially because Marshall came in town for an early Valentine's Day Celebration!!

Now, when Marshall and I visit each other, you can be assured enormous amounts of delicious food will be consumed during those days. And this past weekend did NOT disappoint! So that gave me a fun little idea for this week's blog posts.

I'm going to show you all basically what scrumptious food I consumed all weekend, by doing a sort of Food Tour of Dallas!


If you have never visited Dallas, then you are missing out on sampling some of the most delicious and unique food I have ever tasted. The variety of local, one-of-a-kind restaurants is amazing and I would love to share those tastes with everyone. So, my blog posts during this next week will focus on those restaurants and I hope you too will visit them if you ever get the chance to visit this great city. And since my mom is visiting me next weekend, I'll have even more yummy and delicious food/ restaurants to share with you.

Stay tuned tomorrow for my first restaurant "tour." Want a hint? The pizza was delicious!!!!
