Led by owners Yehuda and Lital Alila, this Mediterranean-inspired pizza joint serves unique pies such as the Mykonos pizza and a gluten-free margherita. Additionally, breakfast pasta options like shakshuka make this place versatile for all types of diners.
Fort Worth is not lagging behind, as it witnesses the arrival of Shōgun Taqueria at 1508 West Magnolia Avenue. Fusing elements of ramen and tacos, owner Francisco “Paco” Islas introduces an eclectic menu that includes kimchi quesadillas and carnitas tonkotsu ramen. Right next door, a speakeasy adds an element of surprise for diners.
