This roundup of Dallas restaurant news comes loaded with pizza, plus coffee, ice cream, and wine. There's also items fit for your New Year's resolution, including an exciting new vegan option that'll be available in January.
Here's what's happening in Dallas dining news:
Tossed and Sauced is the name of a new restaurant-within-a-restaurant, serving pizza and pasta in old downtown Plano. It's a little side project of Twisted Root Burger, which opened in November in the former Hub Streat space at 1212 E. 14th St. — a space that came with a wood-fired oven, which they decided to exploit. The menu includes pepperoni, veggie, vodka sausage, BBQ chicken jalapeno, margherita, and a blanco with garlic, arugula, and four cheeses. Prices are $15 to $17. There are three pastas including Alfredo with rosemary garlic chicken, and three salads including a Cobb.
Pizza Factory has opened its first Texas restaurant in Fate. Pizza Factory was founded more than 30 years ago in Oakhurst, California, near Yosemite National Park. There are now more than 100 locations, in California, Nevada and Arizona, although they maintain a hometown pizzeria ambience. They've opened an "Express" model at 131 E Fate Main Pl. in downtown Fate with a menu that includes hand-tossed pizza, pasta, wings, sandwiches, salads, beer, and wine.
Charleys Philly Steaks, a chain specializing in Philly cheesesteaks, loaded fries, and lemonade, has opened its first location in Plano at 2300 14th St. #30, near Jupiter Road. The chain has more than 600 locations in the U.S. including Garland, Frisco, and Grapevine.
Auntie Anne's, a pretzel shop chain, plans to open two locations at Six Flags over Texas in Arlington — the first locations within a Six Flags park.
PJ's Coffee will celebrate a grand reopening of its store in McKinney in New Orleans style with a Mardi Gras theme on Thursday January 13 from 4-6 pm. The store has a new owner: McKinney resident and franchisee Donna Bush, who was born and raised in New Orleans. "PJ's Coffee was always a local favorite," Bush says. "When I saw the opportunity to take over the location in my community, I jumped at the chance." The location originally opened December 2020 and features an indoor café and drive thru.
Roots Market & Juicery is introducing a new meal kit menu beginning in January, available at the Fitzhugh location 4164 N. Central Expy.

Ocean Prime Dallas is highlighting its signature Berries & Bubbles cocktail for New Year's sipping. It features Belvedere Citrus Vodka, marinated blackberries, fresh lemon, Domaine Chandon Brut and dry ice smoke for that shock & awe. Berries & Bubbles is also available as a take-home cocktail kit.
Cream + Sugar, an artisanal ice cream brand from Jackson Hole, Wyoming is now being sold at Central Market stores. Pints come in six flavors: Vanilla, Mint Chocolate Chip, Salted Caramel, Chocolate, Cookies & Cream, Huckleberry. They also have adorable little ice cream sandwiches in six flavors: Vanilla, Mint Chocolate Chip, Salted Caramel, and Huckleberry, plus 2 seasonal: Pumpkin and Peppermint. A release calls the ice cream sandwiches the perfect guilt-free indulgence since they’re the size of a silver dollar. As if you're just going to eat one, LOL.
Josh Cellars, the official wine of the Dallas Cowboys, has launched a Special Edition Chardonnay, designed by Dallas Cowboys Chief Brand Officer and Executive Vice President Charlotte Jones and Josh Cellars Founder Joseph Carr. Representative of a classic California Chardonnay, the wine is described as having notes of juicy yellow peaches, caramel apples, and crème brulée, soft and silky, with a crisp, long finish.
