New Haven-style pizza!?! What's that?

New Haven CT is basically the pizza capital of the US. People disagree on this obviously but we feel as though they’re doing it better there than anywhere else.  Pizza is infused in the culture of the city…so many pizzerias and so little time!

When Josh and Matt decided to open a pizza place it couldn’t be just any old pizza. So many styles are represented here in the metroplex, and represented well.  They wanted something you couldn’t get here yet. So they landed on the style that Matt grew up eating every summer when he would inevitably end up at his Grandpa’s house in Connecticut.  Thin, charred crust that had a great chew to it, whole milk mozzarella and a super bright, fresh tomato sauce with the little pepperonis that “cupped” up just right and held on to a little grease.

After an R&D trip taken by the management and culinary team to New Haven to show everyone what the style should be…and a lot of antacid…Fortunate Son is the result!

Our goal was to take the beer and cocktail culture along with the warm, “lived in”atmosphere of our sister restaurant in East Dallas and mesh it with this new food concept.  We hope that you pay special attention to not just the food but the diverse beer selection and tried and true cocktails that we’re serving up to go along with the best pizza ever!

Last but certainly not least, our wine program!  Our friend and Master Sommelier James Tidwell really came through for us by writing a spectacular wine list full of very approachable varietals that pair well with the food and pair equally well with conversations with friends sitting around the bar.  Thanks James!

We hope you enjoy your food and see the vision we had in bringing this to downtown Garland!  We wanna know what you think so grab a member of the management team or Matt or Josh and let us know.  Good or bad…we can’t do any of this without you!
