Good morning, Dallas!

Dallas skipped spring and went straight to summer, with highs pushing 92 by Friday and not a cloud in sight. FC Dallas's Petar Musa is out here dropping hat tricks like it's nothing, and the Mavs have Cooper Flagg keeping things interesting on a packed week of home games.

Oh, and there's a world-class Neapolitan pizzeria sitting quietly in Richardson that most of you are sleeping on.

🌮 Where to Eat Next

Partenope Ristorante

📍 Richardson and Downtown

Richardson doesn't get enough credit for its food scene, but Partenope Ristorante is the kind of place that makes you want to argue about it. This is serious Neapolitan pizza, certified by the AVPN and ranked among the top pizzerias in the country, sitting on a quiet stretch of South Greenville Ave.

Master pizzaiolo Dino Santonicola was born and raised in Naples. He and his wife Megan run both the Richardson and downtown Dallas locations, and the Richardson room feels exactly like what a neighborhood Italian spot should: warm, unhurried, not trying too hard.

The Calabrese is what people come back for, mozzarella, hot soppressata, ricotta, and a drizzle of Calabrian honey that somehow works. Book on Resy before you go because weekends fill up and the walk-in wait is real.
