It’s a true Southwestern turkey dinner — and you order it from a pizza restaurant

Southwestern chef Stephan Pyles’ Thanksgiving dinner is now available in Fort Worth and Grapevine.

Pyles’ collaboration with Fireside Pies will add turkey takeout to those Italian restaurants, with a $195 dinner that serves from four to six.

The dinners feature a choice of wood-roasted turkey breast with blue corn-chorizo stuffing, or chipotle barbecue pork.

Sides include spicy sweet potatoes and elote (roasted corn Mexico-style), along with a pea salad with smoked bacon and fontina.

Dinners come with a choice of a pumpkin-pecan pie or a apple-cream cheese flatbread. (Extra pies are $15.)

The restaurants, 2949 Crockett St. in Fort Worth and 1285 S. Main St. in Grapevine, are also serving a full menu of Pyles specials including a sausage-onion-chile Vietnamese pizza on crispy rice paper, a chicken- or cauliflower-crust pizza with a choice of toppings, or a tlayua, a “Oaxacan pizza” with black beans and avocado on a flour tortilla.

The daily dessert is a chocolate-Maker’s Mark bourbon layer cake.

To order for Thanksgiving, email chef Joe Bozarth at jbozarth@firesidepies.com, or call or drop by Fireside Pies.

Fireside Pies Fort Worth and Grapevine locations are open for dinner Mondays through Thursdays, lunch and dinner Fridays through Sundays; 817-769-3590, 817-416-1285, firesidepies.com.
