jsharr ★ Posted October 11, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 11, 2021 Godfather Campisi's Pizza is a Dallas institution. There have been rumors to mafia ties as long as I can remember and the original location, Campisi's Egyptian Room, had pictures of the owner playing golf with politicians and movie stars adorning the walls.... Any way, here are there specialty pizzas. All the way is the only way to go if you ever visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pizza place is not a long-standing Italian biz...it is a very popular place..since it offers different eggs 'n benny versions but only on Sundays. People for whatever reason, love having their photo taken outside/inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THere was a no natural light from windows anywhere. And quite dark. It was located in a semi-industrial area which means the ownership or lease would be cheaper. I wondered initially but the food was excellent (which I can't remember the food). The exterior was not particularily noticeable. In fact, I cycled by it quite a number of times over the years, not having a clue about the restaurant, since it is by a major bike path park system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina eats jalapenos right there on her plate with her dish. Uses a fork then cuts off a small piece with each bite. May times I grill it on the grill for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted October 11, 2021 Share #26 Posted October 11, 2021 For normal days, I'd pick Marinara or Margherita, but if I wanted something different for a more festive day, I'd pick Chicken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I chose Godfather (which I've ordered several times), there must have been a different cook...it was very spicy. The person must have laced it with chili oil in addition to the spicy meats. When I order dishes in restaurants, it tends to be a dish that uses certain ingredients that I've never cooked with before/wouldn't prepare at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del's Pizza. Been in business since 1953. Old school all the way. It's a time warp when walking in. I hope it never changes. The pictures w/ autographs are cool. Few Redwings and other notables. Old places like this seem to be fading new modern joints just seem lame. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted October 12, 2021 Share #33 Posted October 12, 2021 If it had to be a pizza from the list, the Italian Sausage, but most likely I would skip the pizza and hit the seafood with shrimp, octopus and scallops 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted October 12, 2021 Share #34 Posted October 12, 2021 I would try the seafood, second choice would be the Godfather or the Margherita would depend on the state of the belly at the time of ordering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted October 12, 2021 Share #36 Posted October 12, 2021 I would probably go for the big kahuna..unless my psoriasis was acting up..then I would probably get the artichoke or chicken za. I think my favorite one that I make has no sauce..but cheese, roasted asparagus and Canadian bacon..with some sauteed onion & mushroom.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafood was about the only one on that list I would not choose. And chicken is never a favorite on pizza, but I love pesto, so would suffer through it for that reason only. Otherwise, there is no "best" pizza choice, just more a best choice for my current hankering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share #38 Posted October 12, 2021 I ordered the Godfather and at home, sprinkled some fresh argula all over it....so I could ensure I had my veggies for the day.

There are some ordinary choices off the menu that others have selected. There's no pizza from menu that I presented with tomate confit...that would make a true Italian suspicious.
