    Chicken Gorgonzola pizza
    Cheri H.

    We met my in-laws here while in the area. We got 3 different pizzas to try. We got the chicken Gorgonzola arugula prosciutto, and the potato pancetta. Everyone's favorite was the potato pancetta. The ambiance is great especially for kids. There is a green space on their patio that the kids can run around. The service was good. The pizza took a little long but it was busy. My only complaint is that there was not a good dessert selection. I would have loved something chocolate or a s'mores pizza. Also, if you ask for ranch they charge $2 per small serving of ranch. I was a little surprised by that. I would go back.

    Pepperoni and jalapeño small pizza. Amazing!

    The ambiance is 100% "upper crust divey" There are SO many options of food choices. I deliberately chose a pepperoni pizza and a house salad. Excellent and "different" than the pizza places owned by Corporate whom ever. A bit pricey but SO worth it! WOW. I will be back.

    Loved our early dinner here at Fortunate Son in Downtown Garland. Parking: took us a bit to circle the area but found a great spot near the center of the square. Service: We were seated right away which was a surprise because it looked packed upon entering. Luckily we were fine with a patio table on a gorgeous Saturday. Our server recommended a great cocktail and was quick with our toddlers. Cocktails: 1. "Are We Doing This" - Vodka, Lemoncello, Citrus, Raspberry Reduction - This was delicious! Not too sweet and a bit of a twist on a lemon drop martini. 2. "Not Your Mama's Lemonade" - Strawberry basil reduction with tequila. - Husband wasn't a huge fan of this one but I thought it was fine. Pizza: New Haven style which had a bit of a crunch. We had the meat lovers one and the kids had a cheese. Both were great and I'll go for the extra pepperoni next visit. Ambiance: Fantastic and huge patio with screens playing Christmas movies or sports all around the side of the building. Our kids enjoyed the relaxing environment.

    Clam pizza, not for me.

    I mean, it's okay. But this is definitely more Dallas restaurant that serves pizza than New Haven pizza place. Waited 45 minutes to sit, and waited almost an hour for pizza. I'm glad they're busy, kudos, but I did not really enjoy the food. Pizza wasn't good, and the pasta was worse.

    Best New Haven-Style Pizza in DFW - 10/10! Drove out and grabbed four 18-inch pies from Fortunate Son to bring home--total road-trip move. As soon as I saw the classic New Haven cut and that charred, leopard-spotted bottom with the perfect flop, I knew it was legit. First bite? Straight back to my first slice at Ibiza in New Haven. Shared with skeptical friends/family ("Is it burnt?!"), but one taste and everyone was hooked: "This crunch is perfect!" Sauce on point, pepperoni cups insanely crisp. So good people asked how far I'd driven for it. Authentic New Haven apizza in Garland? Yes please. 10/10--go now!

    Clam

    Wow! Garland Square is now a great place to socialize. The square is re-done and all decorated for the holiday. Full of families and smiles. Fortunate Son is offering some great pizza and atmosphere. One clam and one veggie pizza. Both were great. The tiramisu is great too.

    New Haven Style Pizza. Great undercarriage lol. I recommend the double pepperoni pizza.

    The Original pizza

    Parking: Free parking on the street or parking lot. Interior: Chill vibes all around! There is also an outdoor patio area. Service: Excellent service! Went here for the first time this evening - initially sat out on the patio but the manager came out (I believe Josh was his name?) and warned us of the upcoming rain. He went inside and managed to find us a table so that we wouldn't get rained on! And our server (Colton?) was amazing and super attentive! Food: Ordered the Carbonara pasta, Pomodoro pasta and the Original pizza. Everything was delicious! Every bite had so many layers of flavors! Drinks: It was a cold Friday evening - the Hot Toddy and Apple Cider paired well with the food! Overall: Amazing experience! Will definitely be back! Two thumbs u

    Pepperoni

    This might be one of my favorite pizza places in the DFW area. There are others that definitely compete with that, but it's up there for sure. I love New Haven style pizza. Top 3 styles for sure! They are in the downtown area of Garland, right on the square. They've got plenty of room both inside and outside! The staff is friendly and helpful and always on their toes. The pizza is just so delicious! With a little bit of crisp and a little bit of flop with a good semi-chared under carriage. If you are ever remotely close to this place, go get you a pie! Note, the 18in pies are massive.

    Margherita Pizza 18 inch half chicken & half sausage
    Rafael A.

    Best pizza we've had since we moved to Garland! Excellent atmosphere and service too. The owner Matt came in to check on us and the staff was super attentive. Highly recommend the Margherita Pizza and if you're feeling a bit bold you can do half chicken & half sausage like we did

    First time going and definitely a spot that I will be going back for some crispy and amazing pizza. Each dish was flavorful and the service was great, even with it being a busy weekend night. The environment of this spot is dark but definitely cozy. I highly recommend this joint in downtown Garland.

    Lemon drop martini
    Tee J.

    The bartender was very pleasant and helpful. I went with his recommendation and got half pepperoni and half cheese pizza to go along with rigatoni pasta. I wanted to order online but wasn't given that option. While I waited I had a lemon drop martini. Of course I had to try a slice (or two) of pizza while it was fresh and hot. The crust was superb. It was a good experience.

    My daughter suggested we go to Fortunate Son for pizza, and I was a little skeptical at first. I had not heard of them, and as I walked up to the restaurant the outside area was loud. But i walked in the place it was roomy. There was music and lots of people there and yet I was able to have conversations with the party at our table (and it was 7 people so not a small party), and I could hear everyone just fine. My daughter ordered the Parmesan chicken sandwich and my husband took a bite of it and said it was the best sandwich he has ever eaten. My daughter said the same thing, so I guess I'm ordering this sandwich at my next visit. I got the margarita pizza and it was GOOD! There were some kind of peppers on it (I've not seen this before on a margarita pizza) but it worked! Our waiter was on top of things the whole time. He handless the crowd and our table like a pro! All in all, it was a great lunch experience and soon I can personally tell you about the Parmesan chicken sandwich when we go back there.

    See all

    Is there a phone number available for this place? Thanks.

    There is not and they did this by design. They want to focus on the customers dining in, not on to go orders at this time. That could change once they are more established but for now if you want an order to go you have to go there, place it and… Read more

Even when I pulled up and walked in I missed all the wording saying this information.) - I have not tried anything else, this is only my review on pizza.

I'm glad I did as they told me they started offering gluten-free pizza about a year ago, due to so many requests. The interior is actually really cool. Way more effort is put in to a little pizza place in a strip mall. Murals, vegetation, good tile patterns, and Italian-styled pillars make for a good vibe. The gluten-free pizzas only come in 14", which is bigger than i'm used to as many places only do GF in 10". I got the, "Sali's Special", which is, "Pepperoni, Sausage, Canadian Bacon, Green Peppers, Mushrooms, Onions, and Black Olives". I got it to go, as I only live right around the corner, but I made sure to eat a slice fresh before I left. The cheese was really good, with an impressive "cheese pull". The gluten-free crust was cauliflower and had a good bite to it. I think the sauce was pretty nice too, although the cheese was the star of the show. 14" was actually a bit too much for just me, as I felt overfull, so I wish they offered a 10" option too. Great pizza though, although the crust was buckling a bit under all the toppings. I will eat here again. 24$ for the 14" "Sali's Special" on gluten-free crust, which is a little more than I like to pay for a regular pizza, but I did get quite a lot of food for the price.

We had scheduled an early dinner (6:00) and there were only 7 tables throughout the night enjoying dinner service. Well, we won't be going back till the addition to the restaurant is completed, due to the noise factor!!!!!!! There was sawing noise which was so loud we joked it made us feel like we were at the dentist office having a negative experience. Along with nail guns, not what you wish to have when you're trying to have a an enjoyable dinner experience! Upon being sat we asked Patrick, our server, if they were going to continue working and he was very put off by our question. He told they were about to wrap it up for the evening. Nope, still going strong at 7:00!!? We should have left...but we had committed to the evening by ordering a bottle of wine, meatballs (deliciousness!), and salad that came overdressed with dressing (yuck!). My friend ordered the Margarita pizza, which they left the fresh basil off, which is a key ingredient. Me, the sea-bass, which was overcooked & very fishy. My hubby the pork & beef pasta with ricotta, which was overcooked and mushy. Needless to say less than stellar. And Patrick was not very friendly or accommodating. Worst night of my Life, I was so embarrassed! When dining, you usually have background music, not a building under construction??!!! $200 dinner, ruined, horrible!!!!
