Best Pizza Place in Frisco?

[dmctexas]

I did a search and couldn't find anything recent. We just moved to Frisco from out of state and would love some pizza tonight. Any non-chain suggestions? We're in west Frisco, so would love something close this evening but will take any and all suggestions for future reference. Thanks so much!

What style of pizza do you prefer? Cracker crust thin, hand tossed to New York style, Chicago deep dish, pan, that crap they serve in St. Louis with the funky cheese? Opinions about pizza around here are like *** holes. . .everyone's got one. And, I have never seen a single post on someone saying this area has anything that amounts to the best pizza of any kind.

West Frisco stretches a long way North to South. If you are in SW Frisco, then I have no problem whole heartedly recommending Brooklyns at Lebanon and Legacy - a bit more expensive, but it is loaded with toppings. Palios is also very good at Lebanon and Warren. For funky pizza, you can try California Pizza Kitchen over at the mall. A bit pricey, but I have yet to have a bad pie there... Too bad you missed Chicago Pizza at Lebanon and Tollway - it was pretty good... I can't wait to try the new place on the square...

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I have had bad pizza around here. Besides even bad pizza is better than an average burger...

Aside from Palios and Chicago Pizza, you are scaring me.

Papa Murphy's is a little different as they make the pizza for you and you bake it at home. It's really good. There is one on FM423 by Wal-mart and another on Legacy just south of Lebanon.

Also by Wal-Mart there's a place called Rosati's. They send coupons in the mail all the time. We haven't tried them yet.

Rosatis is my choice for the thin, cracker crust. Deep dish is very heavy there, almost too heavy.

We love Papa Murphy's Chicken Delite pizzas. There's a couple different varieties.....both are excellent. It's a chain, but it's a really good pizza.

Try all of the following (no specific order) over time and figure out which you like the best. They are all good in different ways:

Rosati's - Chicago style. The two locations in Frisco are take-out only and they have a dine-in location in West McKinney. They also make the best (only) Italian beef in Frisco.

Fireside Pies in Plano is very good wood-fired pizza.

Luigi's on Preston has a decent thin crust and is locally owned.

Campisi's in North Plano is also a really good thin crust.

Grimaldi's in Allen & Dallas - New York style with traditional Italian influences. Probably my favorite in the area (and I am from Chicago)

True Fire at Shops at Starwood also makes a good pizza.

I have heard that Cane Rosso in Dallas is the best traditional Neapolitan pizza in the area, but I have not tried it yet. I have high hopes for Pizzeria Testa that will be opening at Frisco Square in the next few months and will also serve Neapolitan pizza.

Palio's and Joe's are also worth a try.

In my opinion, Brooklyn's is one of the worst pizzas you can get, so don't set high expectations if you act on that recommendation.

Not near Frisco but they have opened a Johnny's Pizza in Addison. They are a chain from north Louisiana. I haven't been yet but I've heard their pizza is the same as back in LA. I really like their Sweep the Swamp pizza but it may be out of season now. The Sweep the Kitchen pizza is also good.

My favorite in West Frisco is Rosati's. It may seem strange, but I think Gordon Biersch makes a really good pizza though it is expensive. I usually only get it when the company is paying for lunch. Hard to pay $13 for a small pizza at lunch.

Rosatis is the most like "Chicago style" pizza we have had here. They have zucchini sticks that are great apps. BTW...authentic deep dish is supposed to be heavy....and very filling!
