A Family Dream Baked Into Every Slice
Pizzana was born from a simple dream: to bring the authentic flavors of Neapolitan pizza to the heart of Dallas. Founded in 2012 by the Romani family, our restaurant started as a 12-table neighborhood spot on Knox Street. Word spread quickly, and what began as a family passion became a Dallas institution.
We import our San Marzano tomatoes from Campania, Italy, use only 00-grade flour for our hand-stretched dough, and fire every pizza in our custom-built wood-burning oven that reaches 900°F. Every detail matters because every customer deserves the best.
Wood-Fired Tradition
Our custom-built oven fires pizzas at 900°F for the perfect char and crispy base.
Farm-to-Table Ingredients
We source locally grown vegetables and work with Texas farmers we trust by name.
Community Focused
Proudly local, supporting Dallas neighborhoods, schools, and events every year.
