I love me a good meal and babyyy this was a 9/10 in my book. I judged the outside at first but the inside was beautiful with the vibe, the dim lights, and the real authentic Italian food.
We started off with one of my favorites, bruschetta, then the blue shell crab claws which were a solid 10/10. I even dipped my pizza in the sauce.
The pizza board came with two types. One side was All The Way Pizza and the other side was Meat Extreme, both 8/10.
We paired everything with a Calloway Chardonnay and an 11 Minutes Italian Rosé. For dessert we had the Italian cream cake, another 8/10.
Man I cannot wait to go back and try more. If I have not tempted you enough this is truly a MUST GO in Dallas. ✨
The last 3 times here over 4 years has been horrible. Failed again tonight. I was with a friend from high school who was in town and he wanted to go to the Mockingbird location because that was the only one in the 70s-80s. My head sank because the Lovers Lane location is perfect!!!
I told the waitress specifically, “an all the way pizza, minus mushrooms, triple garlic and extra crispy – so the toppings are toasted. I do not want the toppings in the center like you normally do – I want all toppings to the edge of the crust.”
Ugh, again – a total failure. Look at the photo! Toppings only in the center. The outer 2 inches is only cheese and garlic. You can barely see any salami or Italian sausage anc onions are everywhere. Almost under cooked – no where close to crispy! (A machine could do better!!)
Of course being with my friend I could not complain. So I went to my normal location (Lovers Lane), showed the manager (Derick) the pizza Mockingbird gave me. He knows me and what I like (as does 1/2 of the staff!) He was equally appalled.
I ask him to take a photo and send it to the Mockingbird manager and share my story. And throw it in the trash! I choked down 2 baby slices only to be tell my friend I has a late lunch as was full. (Mockingbird – I’LL NEVER GO BACK – EVEN IF YOU OFFER FREE FOOD FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!)
Of course Derick offered to make me a replacement pizza – and I refused twice. But when he added a free bourbon and coke… I broke down and said ok – but only a small. (See 2nd photo – a perfect pie!!)
Lesson learned. From now on, every friend who pops in town and wants to go to Mockingbird – I will tell them of my last 4 experiences and how Lovers Lane is the VIP place to go! Screw the atmosphere and nostalgia of Mockingbird!!!
Avoid Mockingbird at all costs!!! Order Dominos instead (or better – eat in or do a pick up at Lovers Lane!!)
