One of the biggest culinary trends in Dallas right now is Detroit-style pizza, known for being thick and square, with a crust that's crisp and cheesy on the edge, and now there's a surprising new purveyor. Called Big D Pizza, it's from Peter Colombo, owner of Alfonso's Italian Restaurant, one of the oldest Italian restaurants in Dallas.
Big D is a ghost kitchen, a restaurant-within-a-restaurant that's operating out of Alfonso's, located in Lake Highlands' White Rock Center at 718 N. Buckner Blvd. Colombo is a native of Detroit who grew up on the east side in a town called Fraser. He knows all about Detroit pizza first-hand.
