It’s the biggest pizza in Fort Worth, but is it the best? West 7th’s supersized pies
An even bigger pizza has landed in Fort Worth, but is it better?
Dallas’ Serious Pizza is anything but serious, and will prove it July 1 by sending riders on horseback to deliver coupons and swag throughout the West 7th district.
Serious Pizza, 2728 W. Seventh St., started in Deep Ellum more than 10 years ago.
It’s known for its edgy theme and giant 30-inch pizzas ($28.75-$38.50, by the slice $5.75 and up).
That’s more than twice the size of the popular 20-inch extra-extra-large pizzas at nearby pizzerias such as Hysen’s Nizza Pizza, 401 University Drive, or Picchi Pacchi, 411 W. Seventh St. (about $20).
But those pizzas also sell for only $2-$5 a slice. And they’re loaded with more traditional New York flavor.
What they don’t have is the grunge-rock ambiance and 3 a.m. weekend closing time of Serious Pizza.
Serious Pizza’s largest is called the “Seriously Large,” and the entire pizzeria is targeted at the late-night munchie market. The theme is true to its Deep Ellum roots, with the music cranked up, black-and-orange decor and what’s described as “lifestyle-focused” merchandise.
A visit last weekend produced a Buffalo chicken pizza that might be the thinnest in town, topped with thin layers of sauce, mozzarella, chicken and Buffalo sauce.
If you really miss old-time flat pizza — thinner than much better (and cheaper) Parton’s, thinner than at the New York-style pizzerias, thinner even than at the brick-oven pizzerias — then give Serious Pizza a try.
But mainly, it’s for late night.
For the official July 1 grand opening, riders will deliver coupons and swag throughout the West 7th bar district.
The restaurant is owned by Dallas-based Milkshake Concepts, which also operates the Dirty Bones wings bar on Crockett Row.
Serious Pizza serves lunch and dinner daily. It’s open until midnight weeknights and 3 a.m. weekends; 682-348-2482, seriouspizza.com.
