New restaurants opening on Henderson in October include a pizza place

DALLAS — The DBJ reports that a trio of restaurants will open in October on Henderson Avenue, including a pub, a Fish City Grill, and -- ta-da -- a "Naples-inspired" Italian serving what sounds like more noteworthy pizza.

Pulcinella comes from Dwight Sellars, who opened the first branch last year in Katy, near Houston; he tells the DBJ that his pizza guy "is trained in Italy" and that "the majority of ingredients are imported," which is on the way to become the trend among local pizza places. But Pulcinella will also have pasta, meats, salads, and a $37 filet mignon.

It is clear that Dallas' long history of having to settle for chain pizza with cardboard crust is over. And apparently, there's no end in sight to the currently-booming trend of making pizza "like they make it in Italy and/or New York".

But while you can never, ever have enough great pizza places, one does wonder about a new place with Serious Pizza locating itself 8 blocks from Fireside Pies, the artisan pizza spot that pioneered Important Pizza in Dallas; and 2 blocks from Louie's, the journalism hang-out whose pizza easily falls above the average mark. Hello, there are other neighborhoods who'd like some artisan and or authentic pizza, please.

It could be worse.

In a 2-block area of Downtown there are 5 Italian restaurants and 2 Mexican restaurants (which happen to be across the street from each other).

What about the water? Are they trucking it in from NYC?

Thank God it's not another corporate chain. We need less Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc. More artisan pizza the better for everyone. I think you'll start to see a nice push out from uptown/downtown to points north and west.
