Jet's Detroit-style pizza to open first Dallas location in northeast center

Jet's Detroit-style pizza

Jet's

Dallas is finally getting its own Jet's Pizza: This Michigan-based chain specializing in Detroit-style square pizza is opening a location at 6411 E. Northwest Hwy. #175, in the fancy-pants-sounding High Point Crossing center, where it will occupy a storefront between breakfast spot First Watch and Athletico Physical Therapy.

According to a company representative, it's slated to open in March.

This is the first location in Dallas proper although they have eight in the DFW area, but those are mostly spread across northern and western DFW including Fort Worth, Flower Mound, Frisco, Mansfield, Bedford, and North Richland Hills.

Detroit-style pizza is a hearty take: It's a rectangular shaped pie with a thick, crisp, chewy crust, with the cheese spread right to the edges, which gets crunchy and caramelizes as it melts against the high-sided pan in which it's baked.

The style became a big trend in DFW during the pandemic, creating a ready market for Jet's, which was founded in 1978 in Sterling Heights, Michigan. They now have more than 400 locations in 22 states.

Their claim to fame is their Detroit-style deep-dish square pizza with flavored crusts, quality ingredients, and dough prepared daily. You can get the pizza in a variety of sizes: small with six slices, large with 10 slices, and a special "4 Corner" Pizza with four slices, if you love the edges, which is the Detroit-style trademark.

Their flavor options include the Aloha BBQ with BBQ sauce, chicken, pineapple, and bacon; or the BLT with bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and mozzarella cheese.

The All Meaty has pepperoni, ham, bacon, Italian sausage, and hamburger, while the Veggie has mushroom, onion, green pepper, black olives, and tomato.

A "Eugene Supreme," named for founder Eugene Jetts, has Italian sausage, onion, green peppers, and mild peppers.

Another signature is flavored crusts, such as Cajun, butter, sesame seed, poppy seed, and garlic.

Beyond pizza, the menu also has wings, salads, breads, plus a variety of pizzas beyond deep dish including hand-tossed, New York-style, thin-crust, and gluten-free. Their Jet's Boats are a sandwich in which the pizza dough is fashioned into a pita-like shell.

Delivery is part of their DNA and, while they do have a couple of tables where you can sit on-site, most of their business is pickup and to go. They also have really good customer service.

New Deli

New Seegars Deli stacks up nostalgic sandwiches in The Cedars Dallas

From the griddle to the red-checkered paper, Seegars Deli is all about classic, approachable sandwiches.

A new deli has settled into The Cedars district of Dallas, bringing a simple approach to sandwiches and sticking to the classics. Called Seegars Deli, the new shop is located at 1910 S. Harwood St. and named for its cross street, Seegar Street.

It is next to Mike’s Gemini Twin Lounge, in the former El Jale Nightclub space.

Seegars Deli is the latest from hospitality entrepreneur Olivia Genthe, who opened Fount Board & Table in Uptown six years ago and launched Little Blue Bistro in Bishop Arts - a nominee for 2026 Tastemaker Awards' Best New Restaurant - last year.

The menu is purposefully simple: “It’s all the classic sandwiches that I grew up with; our goal is to do something that does not really need much explaining,” Genthe says. “It is nostalgic, unelevated, and well-executed.”

The menu features a mix of Midwestern staples and deli classics, with sandwiches ranging from $12-$17. Some varieties are also available as a 6-inch sandwich for $8-$9. Highlights include:

The Polish Boy: A tribute to Genthe’s hometown of Cleveland, featuring fried beef kielbasa, cabbage slaw, BBQ sauce, and shoestring fries piled onto a brioche roll.
Dill Turkey: House-roasted turkey, Havarti cheese, dill pickle relish, and garlic mayo on a seeded hoagie.
Not Chopped Liver: A clever vegetarian option made with mushrooms, walnuts, eggs, and peas on a brioche loaf.
Thick-Cut Bologna: A simple stack of bologna, American cheese, and garlic mayo on a brioche bun.

Sides include house-made chips, French fries, pasta salad, marinated white beans, shaved, marinated celery and pickles.

The bread is sourced from New York and baked fresh daily on-site. While the menu will evolve to include more soups and salads —beyond the current grinder chopped salad and kielbasa soup — the focus remains on an approachable offering with fresh ingredients.

For dessert, they serve a pineapple upside cake, and they will start offering ice cream cones for kids soon, they say.

They also have a limited coffee menu: espresso, latte, cappuccino, macchiato, cortado and cold brew, using beans from local roaster Viewfinder.

During the weekends, they offer a brunch menu from 10 am-2 pm, including pancakes, egg sandwiches, pastrami hash, and pork tenderloin plates.

Seegars also serves as a commissary for both Fount Board & Table and Little Blue Bistro, which needed more kitchen-prep space, Genthe says.

The 2,200-square-foot space strikes a retro balance between a mid-century diner and a modern industrial workshop, with plenty of tables and booths around the deli case. The counter continues to the side onto a full bar with mustard-yellow, vinyl-upholstered swivel barstools that run along the wood-paneled bar for a warm, vintage pop of color against the cooler concrete floors.

The floor and walls were left as is to achieve a rustic, traditional look, “not overthought, lived in,” as described by Genthe.

Seegars Deli is open daily from 10 am-10 pm, and there is plenty of parking around for visitors.

Genthe says The Cedars district has given the deli a warm welcome. “It’s been good," she says. "We were well received from the neighborhood, everybody was waiting for us to open."
