A major name in New York pizza is opening soon in Dallas: Prince St. Pizza, the New York pizza concept known for Sicilian-style square pies, will open its first restaurant in Texas at 2820 N. Henderson Ave., in the space previously occupied by the original location of Fireside Pies, which closed in 2023.

According to a spokesperson, the restaurant will open on October 24.

Prince St. was founded in 2012 by brothers Frank and Dominic Morano, using family recipes for their Sicilian squares as well as Neapolitan-style pizza. Sicilian-style pizza is a homey take on pizza, served as a square or rectangle, with a thick focaccia-like crust, light and fluffy on top and crisp on the bottom, with rich sauce and cheese that melts into the dough.

Prince St. uses a water filtration process for the dough to mimic the New York original, and they make their own sauce daily.

Their signature Sicilian-style pizza is the Spicy Spring, with fra diavolo sauce and thick-cut pepperoni cups whose edges curl up as the pizza bakes.

Other options include:

The Naughty with spicy vodka sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, hot honey, and pepperoni
Meat Lovers, with pepperoni, sausage, pepperoni bacon bits, mozzarella, and garlic
Sunset Square, with marinara, mozzarella both fresh and shredded, plus pecorino Romano
Vegan, with marinara, vegan cheese, basil, and extra virgin olive oil

There's also a selection of Neapolitan/New York pies including an old-school cheese pizza; the Oakey Smokey with smoked mozzarella; and the Green Machine with pesto, mozzarella, ricotta, and black olives.

The pizzas are nearly all available by the slice as well as a whole pie, at about $6 to $7 per slice. But these are big slices.

There are two salads — Caesar and an Italian chopped — plus smoked mozzarella sticks, and a half dozen cakes for dessert including cheesecake, carrot cake, red velvet cake, tiramisu cake, and a colorful Italian layer cake with the red-green-white colors of the Italian flag and chocolate frosting.

Just as Fireside Pies kept late night hours, so will Prince St., staying open until 11 pm on weekdays and 3 am on Friday-Saturday. There'll be on-site dining but also a walk-up counter for slices.

CEO Lawrence Longo is helping expand the concept outside of New York to Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, Toronto, and now Dallas, which will be the 17th location.

In a statement, Longo says that “Dallas has always felt like the right fit for Prince St. Pizza. The Henderson area has a history of bringing people together over great food, and we’re looking forward to contributing to that tradition by serving a good old-fashioned New York slice in the heart of the city."

New tea at Dallas' Mansion on Turtle Creek is seriously surreal

Mansion on Turtle Creek

Surreal desserts at Mansion on Turtle Creek

Dallas is a little tea crazy these days, but the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek has launched a new tea that stands out as truly surreal: Called the Surrealism Art Afternoon Tea, it's a limited-time immersive culinary experience timed to coincide with the International Surrealism Exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art, and it's open for reservations through March 22, 2026.

According to a release, the Surrealism Art Afternoon Tea transforms The Mansion’s regular afternoon tea into a dreamlike journey, starring a parade of whimsical desserts paired with organic teas and celebratory champagne.

Guests will begin with savory sandwiches, followed by scones and inspired pastries reimagined through Dalí and the surrealistic lens.

The menu is informed by three pastries inspired by surrealistic works of art — two of which take direct inspiration by iconic works of Salvador Dalí. Each pastry draws from the symbolism, whimsy, and surreal visual language of these masterpieces.

These desserts are the centerpieces of the experiencing, evoking dreamscapes that are surreal in form and flavor.

Highlights include:

The Queen of Hearts, inspired by Dalí’s “Playing Card” collection. At first glance it looks like a regular card, but with a closer look you can find an array of traditional and non-traditional symbols and colors.

This pastry features ruby peach jelly, almond sponge and glazed strawberry mousse on a red sable heart, garnished with chocolate decorations and an edible queen of hearts.

The Metamorphosis of Narcissus. Painted in 1937, The Metamorphosis of Narcissus is Dalí’s interpretation of the Greek myth. Focusing on the narcissus flower, which begins to blossom out of Dalí’s egg, the flower symbolizes new beginnings.

This cake is composed of a mango and passion fruit jelly, pistachio financier and vanilla mouse, dipped in passion fruit chocolate and garnished with sugar daffodil and chocolate leaves.

Butterfly Windmill. this surrealist-inspired creation reflects the butterfly as a timeless symbol of freedom, metamorphosis, and transformation, central themes within the Surrealist movement.

The pastry layers citrus crémeux, olive oil cake, and almond–hazelnut praline, encased in Manjari chocolate mousse, glazed, and dipped in yuzu chocolate. A delicate butterfly, crafted from chocolate and sugar, crowns the piece as a final tribute to its symbolism.

The tea is set in the historic 1925 Mansion Library, surrounded by stained‐glass windows in a 16th-century Italian Renaissance-inspired setting. Price is $95, or $115 with a glass of Bollinger Champagne. Reservations are available Saturday and Sunday from 12–2:30 p.m. and may be made on OpenTable.
