    Uptown News

    The Quad in Uptown Dallas signs on buzzy restaurant with Australian flair

    Two hands

    It'll take two hands to eat at Two Hands, coming to the Quad.

    Two Hands

    There's an exciting new restaurant concept coming to Uptown Dallas: Called Two Hands, it draws its inspiration from Australian café culture and will open its first Dallas location at The Quad, the development at 2699 Howell St. that's undergoing a big renovation, where it will occupy one of the five retail spaces in a new office tower.

    A release describes it as a casual restaurant featuring fusion cuisine, sharable plates, and "well-traveled classics." It'll be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a coffee program and full-service bar, plus indoor-outdoor dining.

    It'll open in early 2024.

    Two Hands was founded in 2014 (no relation to the Los Angeles-based Korean hot dog chain) by husband-and-wife Henry and Tara Roberts, who opened their first location as a coffee shop/cafe in New York. There are now six, including four in New York, one in Nashville, and one in Austin, which opened in 2020. Two more will open in 2023, in Denver and Franklin, Tennessee.

    "Dallas is filled with so many unique, diverse neighborhoods, and The Quad development in Uptown is the perfect opportunity for Two Hands to enter the market,” says Henry Roberts, a native of Australia, in a statement. “Following our success in Austin, our expansion into Dallas will continue our growth in Texas and help establish our brand here."

    Culinary Director and Chef Barney Hannagan follows what the release calls "a conscious approach" to health and lifestyle with bright, flavorful dishes, bold flavors, and locally sourced ingredients that vary by season and location. Being conscious is far preferable to being unconscious when you are creating a menu.

    Popular items include:

    • salmon quinoa bowl with salmon, egg, turmeric quinoa, hummus, crunchy shaved veggies, avocado, cucumber, seeds, and puffed rice
    • tamarind chicken, a glazed half-chicken served with whiskey shoyu, sesame chili crunch, and ginger sauce.

    Coffee options include a lavender matcha latte, while the bar will serve natural wines, local beers, and specialty cocktails.

    Two Hands is the first retail lease signed at The Quad, with additional restaurant announcements anticipated by mid-2023.

    Dallas-based Stream Realty is developing the a state-of-the-art office building and surrounding retail on the space formerly known as the Quadrangle, Dallas' first mixed-use development dating back to 1966. Chicago Title was the first office tenant to commit to the project in September 2022.

    Amenities will include a penthouse tenant lounge and conference center, fitness studio with floor-to-ceiling windows, dedicated underground parking, bike valet, and outdoor seating and green space.

    “We envision a collection of restaurants at The Quad that will engage not only the employees of our office tenants but also the thousands of residents in our neighborhood,” says Ramsey March, Executive Managing Director and Partner of Stream’s development group. “Two Hands has a devoted following in some of the country’s most sophisticated dining scenes and exemplifies the kind of offering we know will excite the Uptown market.”

    Pizza News

    Celeb-owned L.A. pizza chain Pizzana to open in north Dallas

    Toppings are robust and very California-style.

    An acclaimed pizza from California is sliding into north Dallas: Pizzana, the small pizza chain from the founders of Sprinkles Cupcakes, will open a shop at Dallas' Preston Forest Shopping Center, at 11700 Preston Rd #732, taking over a storefront previously occupied by Haystack Burgers, which closed in September 2024.

    According to a Pizzana representative, the restaurant will open in fall 2025.

    It'll be the second location in the Dallas area, following a first that opened at 3219 Knox St. in November 2022 — the first outside of California at the time it opened. They've since expanded to Houston, opening a location there in March 2024.

    Pizzana debuted in Los Angeles in 2017, and stars the expertise of pizzaiolo Daniele Uditi, who has appeared on Hulu's "Best in Dough" pizza competition series.

    Described as neo-Neopolitan, Pizzana’s dough is fermented for 48 hours and cooked in a wood-burning oven. It has a more crispy crust than traditional Neapolitan, which can sometimes be a little damp for the American palate. Their goal is to create a light, easy-to-digest crust still sturdy enough to pick up with one hand.

    Toppings range from traditional such as to Pizzana originals such as Uditi's signature cacio e pepe pizza, making him a trendsetter on that very buzzy pasta and spawning copycat pizzas far and wide.

    There's a regular Margherita with San Marzano tomato, fior de latte, and fresh basil leaves, but also Neo-Margherita that's like a Margherita but with an extra "basic crumb" — like a toasty basil grit.

    The menu also features antipasti, salads, and desserts. There are two vegan pizzas, and they also offer a gluten-free crust. They have beer, wine, and cocktails with Italian flair including their Sorrento Spritz, Negroni di Napoli, and Limoncello Martini.

    The Knox location can be a tight squeeze, especially for their signature "pizza towers" — little swing-out platforms for hot pies to be presented and stacked above the surface of the table — but the new location promises a little more breathing room.

    When they made their Dallas debut, Candace Nelson called Dallas "a very special city" that had already been so welcoming to her Sprinkles Cupcakes venture, before righteously boasting that "Pizzana’s menu will satisfy any carb craving and everything on the menu is worth the indulgence.”
