Cane Rosso ($-$), Near Southside, Fort Worth
▪ Where is this restaurant? At 815 W. Magnolia Ave, near the Fairmount neighborhood.
▪ What readers recommend about Cane Rosso:
“The PIZZA!!! Thin crust and either pepperoni or sausage with mushroom and a Capra stack salad are awesome. They don’t skimp on the dressing and it’s just a great salad!!! Pizza cooks in brick wood burning oven for 45-60 seconds and it’s done!. We sit at the bar facing the oven to watch the prep and cooking.”
▪ What else to know: Cane Rosso got its start in 2009 when owner Jay Jerrier launched a mobile pizza oven that quickly built a loyal following through pop-up events. In 2011, the first brick-and-mortar location opened in Deep Ellum in Dallas, and the brand has since expanded to nine spots across the DFW area. Known for Neapolitan-style pies made with fresh, house-pulled mozzarella, hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, and imported Italian “OO” flour, Cane Rosso also offers fresh pastas, salads, sandwiches and desserts. See the menu.
