Cesear salad was great. Hazy ipa was great So good my photo was after I had a couple slices. Dave gave it a 8.1 on New Haven style. read more

Fortunate Son - Pepperoni and cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Garland, Texas

With Fortunate Son purportedly offering Dallas Metro's only true, New Haven pizza offering, you need not question your sanity for driving 35-60 minutes to get here to try it. But despite it possibly being genuine in this New Haven regard, is the pizza itself rewarding? I'm wrestling with a clear answer, equivocating on this point. The answer is becoming clear: No. Service was deeply flawed, memorable, in fact. Please see below. Pizza: I ordered the pepperoni and the taste of the overall composite was overwhelmed, patently lost, on the pepperoni. That is, the cheese, tomato sauce and oil made a pretty wonderful harmony with good balance. But you could barely discern such as the pizza was so ladened with the redundant and overwhelming taste of extremely salty and pungent pepperoni. I ended up removing half of it. The cheese was nearly perfect in taste, except that --while possibly true to the New Haven philosophy--lost its composure as it was burnt excessively and dry. It was crusty, dried and hard, in fact. I'm not averse to burning cheese on pizza, but can't help but wonder, though, how much better it might have come out had they not over cooked it, maybe giving it 30 seconds less? One will never know. I certainly will never know. Was the crust stiff? Yes. Please see the photo. It did have the proper singe for this style pizza, I gather. Interestingly, no differentiation is present between the crust and the body of the pizza, with this method of cooking. Consequently, there was no culinary upside in consuming the perimeter crust, just more dry cracker like bread. Service: horrendous, thoroughly embarrassing. Where to begin. With 1/3 the tables empty, the host(ess) indicates a 45 minute wait, astonishingly, (sarcasm) suggesting that I sit at the bar, which is full. I give them my name and when they realize that I'm not going away, they seat me 5 minutes later. I'll never connect the dots here. No. Never. There are bread crumbs akin to carpeting all over the seat. I use my napkin to clean the chair. The waiter subtlety objects to me discarding the dirty napkin on my other chair, never considering that I shouldn't have to clean their facility. The host(ess), when I asked her what they specialize in, expecting to be pedantically lectured on the virtues of their New Haven styled, unique pizza, doesn't mention the pizza at all. She instead discusses sandwiches, pasta and desserts. I ask her if they aren't known for their pizza. "Oh yeah, we do pizza; it's great." She insists in calling me "Sweetie" three times in a row, as though I'm 98 and brain dead in a wheelchair. I know the second isn't true and want to believe the former is a falsity, as well. How patronizing and stupid to demean your customers. Waiter feverishly attempts to sell me on appetizers, citing a 45 minute delay for the pizza; this' after I ordered the Caesar salad. I call the bluff. And just with the seating, the pizza doesn't come out in 45, but in 20. See a pattern here? No. Dot connecting is for the below 23 crowd. Waiter forgets to check on me for 20 minutes while eating the salad. The croutons are homemade and conspicuously absent. So I ask for more, walking over to the kitchen door. They were made in house and quite good. The staffer bringing the pizza: I asked him if this is their speciality. He gives me a dumb look, and doesn't know that their pizza is supposed to be unique. Wow. I'm quickly discovering that I'm their de facto publicity department. I ask the waiter for an iced tea refill, switching from coke. He needs the glass, forgetting to rinse the glass out completely. I guess here in Mexico, or Texas, everyone loves iced tea and coke mixed. Who would have guessed? Waiter stares over me when I'm calculating the tip with their handy dandy portable payment machine. When waiter brings the to go box, he's holding it in the same hand/s as a dust pan and broom. Pricing is fair. Location, when you finally get out here, is great, with a nice plaza ambiance. I won't return as there's no need to. Even if this is a 100% perfect fidelity-rendition of Yale area's best pizza, it just wasn't all that interesting. The service toppled the experience for me, as well. read more

I've gone to fortunate sons for so many occasions, and I've never had a bad time. The bar tenders are knowledgeable, and the drinks re perfect for happy hour after work. Weekdays are never too bad, but be warned that weekends can have waits of like an hour+. Totally worth it, and we usually get ourselves on the list and then h shop at the stores in the rest of downtown or hang out at the park. It has space for kiddos to run around and is def family friendly, although my son isn't a huge fan of the pizza :( I love trying their unique combos - the clam pizza was so so good if you're adventurous and a seafood lover. My second go to is the prosciutto. The buffalo chicken pizza was good but could've used more buffalo sauce as it kind of felt like it was just a white sauce pizza - even then, still super yummy. They have non alcoholic beer too! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Wow. How quickly the Cheers Vibe dissipated... This used to be our neighborhood joyful watering hole - we spent many nights at the greatest bar ever! But then it changed.

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. read more

Fortunate Son - Clam pizza, not for me. - Pizza Near Me - Garland, Texas

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

I knew this place was going to be busy on a Saturday night, and it was. We were told an hour wait. Gave our number and walked over Intrinsic for a beer. We were texted in an hour, and we ran back and got our table. Cool, pizza taken vibes. Orders a beer since I'd already had one, but I wanted to point out they have a good wine selection. We demolished some garlic knots and a sausage and pepper pizza with white sauce. Delicious!! Garlic knots were crispy outside with tons of garlic. Served with marinara and ranch. Pizza crust was thin and chewy and really savory. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Going back soon. I want to try the white clam pizza. read more

I wanted to add an update after coming here again with my date, and eating outside instead of inside this time. Despite it being a scorcher of a day, I really enjoyed the outside area, due in no small part to our server (a friendly blonde with glasses; I wish I could remember her name) constantly making sure to bring water refills. My date is also a choosier eater, so it was nice that the waitress was more than helpful in detailing all the options for her. We shared a gluten-free pizza with veggies and chicken, which was a revelation to my date that GF crust could be so fluffy and soft. This pleased me. I also had, and i'm confident saying this, my favorite salad i've ever eaten. It was just perfect, and the dressing really brought it all together. I think it was the house salad, which one might expect to be rather plain, but this had... "Romaine mix, arugula, balsamic vinaigrette, red bell pepper, red onion, parmesan, Texas goat cheese, & cherry tomato". So good read more

Had zero clue what to expect when pulling up to this restaurant. Heard a lot of great things about the food, especially the pizza, but I wanted to see for myself. I'm very picky when it comes to pizza. Walking in - this is a fun, casual bar experience. Love the artwork on the walls and the decor they had up for Christmas. Our server was very nice. She explained a few things about the menu, type of pizza they serve, and how the food comes out - as it's done. So don't expect everything to come out at once. No problem there. We ordered two 12" a'pizzas, one The Basic and one Margherita. The Basic came out in decent time. Crust was perfectly thin and crispy. Toppings were ample but not too much. Flavor - outstanding. I think I fell in love. We had 1 slice left of our first pizza before we realized the second one hadn't come out yet. We knew not to expect them to arrive at the EXACT same time, but figured it would be within 2-5 min of getting the first one. Tables that were sat after us were getting their pizzas and other items. Luckily our server noticed that we had been sitting there a pretty good while without our second pizza and swung by to say she was checking on it. Came back and said it would be right out, and it was. Margherita was cooked slightly darker than The Basic but still very tasty. So good I burned the top of my mouth on a cherry tomato - worth it. That told us that it hadn't been sitting back there for a long time with how fresh and piping hot it was. We walked out of there planning our next visit. It's one heck of a drive, but for pizza like that - worth it. It was so darned good I forgot to take photos! read more

We've been here once before, right when they first opened. We loved it then, and fell in love with it even more last night when we went again for a date night. Our server was on top of it, eager to serve and pleasant to talk to. The atmosphere was perfect- music wasn't too loud to hear my handsome date across from me. We each had several Not your mama frozen cocktails, then started off with a delicious lemony Caesar salad and the chewy but crispy grilled focaccia served with the perfect balsamic vinegar and olive oil dip. Husband had the perfect classic 12" pepperoni pizza, and even though full, still ate 4-5 slices! I enjoyed the hot Al dente chicken fettuccine Alfredo that again, even though full, still could not stop eating! We will enjoy what leftovers we brought home today. Great place for meeting up with friends or to have a quaint little date! read more

Pizza here is so good! It's thin crust and nicely charred. Very flavorful sauces. Our friends who go here a lot said that their smaller pizzas are better than the big ones because its more even cooking and not as soggy. I really appreciated the amount of pepperoni they give you, pair it with the hot honey and it's even better! Service was pretty good, they're easy to flag down. The guy taking care of us at the end of the night was great, checked on us and refilled drinks more frequently. Wings here are also really good. So crispy! Will definitely be coming back here read more

Ok big review time! I've been wanting to get out to this place and finally try New Haven style pizza ever since I saw Dave Portnoy do the review on this place, mostly because I enjoyed the same style of pizza that he does. When I arrived the place was very cool looking had plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, it was a Saturday early afternoon and parking was not a problem either. I sat at the bar and was greeted immediately by a friendly lady bartender who explained everything about New Haven style pizza which I already knew of course, they have a pretty big beer and wine selection as well. I ordered the 12-in pepperoni $17 and a 12-in sausage and mushroom $20 a bit pricey but it's quality to go to bring back to my girlfriend, while I waited I had two beers the Brooklyn Lager, and a beer they have called the big German both were delicious. When my pizza came out it looked perfect, great undercarriage, zero flop and a nice crisp but also good chew to the sourdough crust as well as a nice tasting sauce. For those of you that are not familiar with New Haven style pizza it is a Coal Fired Pizza so don't get the wrong idea when you see the Char and think that it's burnt because it's definitely not. This is the best pizza I've had in DFW and it was worth the hour drive to go and try this place, I'm sure I'll be back sometime for some more great New Haven style pizza and would recommend anyone looking to try New Haven style or just looking for a great pizza to make their way over to Fortunate Son in Garland!! read more

If your into new haven style pizza this is your place. If your asking what this means, let me tell you it's thin crust, not overly topped with ingredients and has the best char on the crust. We decided on the basic (just mozzarella) and pepperoni. Very well baked and the slices were large and could hold their weight. For appetizers Wings are breaded and seemed to be fried before dipped in the sauce not entirely sure. We asked if we could have ordered them without the breading and this option is available. Our sauce of choice was Mild but it still carried some heat. It was a little on the vinegar side for me. As for the house made ranch, lets just say I asked for some to go and willing to go back just for this alone! The garlic knots are sourdough but as I've become more of a fan. Im happy to say this bread was not overly sour and I had no problem dipping in their marinara which I will add was not overly acidic! The meatballs were so good and make great for an entree alone but no complaints here. They carry a great cocktail, wine, and draft list to pair with any meal. We'll be returning soon. Great service, food, and cost for any size group dining at their establishment read more

My husband and I took our three kids for dinner on a Friday night. Ambitious, I know but we were starving and didn't want to cook. I had heard the food was delicious and had to try it for myself. We ordered garlic knots, meatballs, carbonara, pepperoni pizza and the potato pancetta pizza. For dessert we got the tiramisu and the cannoli. Every bite was AMAZING! You can tell the pasta was house made and every ingredient was fresh. The kids loved it too. Our server McKayla (sp?) was exceptional. Having kids and one with special needs makes it a challenge going out but she was so kind and helpful. The rest of the staff were also super friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back and try out more! read more

We have heard good things about this restaurant and have been meaning to give it a try. We live 40 miles away so we decided we were just do a pick up and go home. Right away we discovered... They don't have a phone number. They force you to add your data and order online... Which took about 15 minutes. they also give themselves a standard 10% tip at the end... That's pretty arrogant. I'm driving 40 miles to pick up your pizza... Why should I tip you 10%? You can change it by hitting custom and tipping what you want. It seems like most places have an option. "would you like to leave a tip?" That seemed tone deaf to put a standardized tip amount in. Moving on... The restaurant is in old Garland... So you just have to drive around until you find a parking space. It's nice inside... It did not look like a hole in the wall. I ordered two large pizzas and a small... I wanted to try different ones. The large pizzas are so large... The box does not really fit in your refrigerator. A small is fine. They should probably put down the inch size... Instead of relative terms like "small"... "Large". The meat Zila pizza was pretty good... The vegetable also... The crust is the best part. It's thin... But a little chewy. I ordered a small clam... I wish I had not ordered the clam. It's just not something that I enjoyed. My wife didn't like it either... And now we still have most of a 15 inch pizza. The clam is overrated... Unless you just love clam I guess. My wife ordered the Parmesan chicken... She said she enjoyed the most. Overall... It's a decent pizza if you're in Garland... but due to the difficulty of their website... Their poor marketing... And the arrogance of tipping themselves... This was not the great experience. I was hoping it would be. If you're close to Garland... Check it out. If you're driving the long distance... It's not magical. I'd recommend just going to hideaway pizza. read more

Super disappointed! I seen this place on a YouTube review . The video the original looked amazing! So I drove from Waxahachie just to eat. The staff was super nice and the place was very clean they even gave me a complimentary soft drink while I waited. The service was super fast . Maybe it was a off day for the cook but the pizza was dry, the middle I could even see the crust , I asked for ricotta to be added and I got four very small spoon size just randomly put on the pie. I will try them again but today the pizza was disappointing read more

I wish I took a picture of the pizza, it was amazing! I went here with a group of friends on a busy Saturday- we were able to get a table outside in maybe 20 minutes? So not bad! This really was a delicious pizza! The garlic knots and salad were also excellent! I loved all the fun flavor profiles they offered...I'm not sure you can go wrong! It was also very laid back, and they didn't make you feel rushed! Cute location off the square as well. read more

To go only review I came on a Saturday right after they opened for a to go order. I had the small chicken Gorgonzola pizza and an order of wings ( garlic Parmesan and lemon pepper) I am not familiar with this style of pizza so I had a try and it's not for me. I have a lot of teeth work done and this was beyond crunchy and dry. Just not my style but I can see how it could be for some. The wings were SUPERRRRRA CRISPY WHICH J LOVED and would pare well with a sauced wing and I didn't mind the flavors. Garlic parm wings didn't taste anything cheese or garlic related and the ranch is homemade but also not my flavor. I did like the crunch of the wings and would for sure order them again in different flavors. 4 wings for $9 and they aren't big which again I did not mind, I hate super pumped huge chicken wings. Will be back to order some other items like and dessert. read more

I love finding greatness in unexpected places. This restaurant is a really nice use of an old space and the way they left remnants of the old building's history really added to the ambiance here. When a designer is able to take an old space and truly make it a perfect setting for its new use, something magical happens. This place was crowded and busy, but it didn't feel that way. There was a lot going on and many people, yet our large table could still all visit and hear each other without yelling over the noise. Overall I'd describe it as a "cool vibe". The "cool vibe" of the place definitely extends to the people working here. The staff here is really good. While we did have a server, all the staff took care of us whatever we needed, and there was a cooperative attitude about the whole staff that made for a good feel. For food, we ordered Garlic Knots for an appetizer. They came 3 to an order and with sauce and ranch dressing. I ordered a Margharita Pizza and my daughter ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. While the pizza is really good, the star of this show for me was definitively the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich! In fact, I will be back just for that! Review #2158 read more

I found this place from watching Dave Portney"s review, and I finally went. We waited and hour and a half but thankfully there is an amazing park across the street. There is also tons of store to walk to while you wait. The place was packed and being from NY I was excited to try. It is not NY style, it is New Haven (sourdough). The pizza is very light, thin and doesn't make you feel weighed down. We started with personal house salad which was delicious and I cook and make my own dressings, I ate the whole thing and wanted more. My family had the family size Caesar salad, and that was a hit too. After that, we had two orders of the appetizer, meatball with marinara and ricotta, all were eaten. They did have a little kick to them. Then we ordered pizzas. We got the small clam pie, the small quattro formaggi (4 cheese) added caramelized onions, small cheese and large pepperoni. My favorite out of all of them was actually the cheese pizza,but I did try them all. The clam pie was different to see here in TX, only thing I would add is it could use a little bit more of a garlic but it was tasty. The formaggi was delicious, tad salty but to be expected. The kids loved the pepperoni and my daughter and I love the cheese pizza. My grandson had a side order of grilled chicken, which was perfectly cooked and sliced. He dipped it in some grated cheese then he had a little bit of meatball and some pizza. To finish the night, we tried desserts. They have sourdough donuts made by domutman.gtx so we had to get two of the Bomboloni Di Fidencio. The flavor today was strawberry rhubarb. So it was a donut filled with strawberry rhubarb, dusted w/powder sugar and served with a yogurt sauce and strawberry rhubarb preserves. It was a very fancy dessert and done perfect, no oily taste on the donut. Then we tried the tiramisu which was delicious very fresh, a cannoli. The shell was fresh and filling was light and airy, tad different than the a New York cannoli, and lastly, my grandson had a big scoop of nondairy vanilla ice cream, which everybody loved I believe it's coconut based. To top off the night, our waitress, Sara was very friendly, kept up with us and knowledgeable about all we asked. We will be back and will bring more family read more

Fortunate Son has a warm, energetic vibe the moment you walk in. The staff are genuinely friendly and interactive, which made the whole visit feel welcoming rather than transactional. The bartenders clearly care: Ashley brought awesome energy, was super-attentive, and really knew the beer lineup; Rachel was just as helpful and informative behind the bar. I appreciated that both took names and used them -- small touch, big difference. Food highlights: * Crab and artichoke dip -- solid and flavorful; I'd score it an 8/10. * Traditional Bomboloni -- absolutely fire. The filling was heavenly (maybe a touch heavy-handed with the piping), but overall an easy 10/10. Extra points for offering a service industry discount -- thoughtful and appreciated by those in hospitality. read more
