Since it opened in May, Fireside Pies has been a hot spot for Dallas’ dinner crowd. Although the restaurant isn’t open for lunch, executive chef Dawn Thomas says that’s a good thing. “It’s nice to have the intimacy of dinner only. People want to relax, and it’s nice at night,” she says, referring to the outdoor patio that serves as a sanctuary from the traffic on Henderson. But the atmosphere is just a bonus to the superstar menu line-up that includes crowd pleasers such as the Peta pie (Sonoma goat cheese, balsamic mustard portabellas, arugula, roasted red peppers, roasted pine nuts, and charred tomato vinaigrette). All of the pizzas are hand-stretched, pecan wood-fired and covered in a fire-roasted sauce with a blend of cheeses. Thomas points out that he uses as many local products as possible, so their mozzarella is fresh from Paula Lambert’s Mozzarella Company in Dallas, and Jimmy’s Italian Market, on Fitzhugh, supplies their sausage and pepperoni.
