Pie Tap Founder and CEO Rich Hicks said the kind of pizza he ate with his young children made him feel lethargic, and if he knew if he ever started a pizza restaurant he wanted to do things differently.
“I wanted it to be uniquely differentiated, and we would be selling that Italian-style, artisan dough to Dallas,” Hicks said.
Hicks opened the first Pie Tap location in the design district at 1212 Oak Lawn Ave., Dallas, serving pizza with dough made from a 300-year old sourdough starter. Ten years and six additional locations later, Pie Tap is still using its original dough recipe, Hicks said.
On the menu: Pie Tap’s menu includes pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads and more. Hicks said he wanted to keep the food “really clean” and use simple, high-quality ingredients.
Popular menu items include:
- Prosciutto pizza, which is made with prosciutto, medjool dates, date sauce, pistachios, arugula, house ricotta, parmesan and balsamic
- Hot pepperoni pizza, which features pepperoni, bacon, organic marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella, jalapeños and hot honey
