Zalat Pizza
Zalat Pizza is a pizzeria in Dallas known for creative and unconventional toppings on its pies. The interior is bare and simple, with visible kitchen operations behind the counter where customers can watch pizzas being made.
Owner Khanh Nguyen previously ran the Vietnamese restaurant DaLat, known for unusual dishes like nachos on Doritos and Spam preparations. After that restaurant closed, he opened ZaLat Pizza and brought his experimental food approach to the pizza format.
The name ZaLat merges the original restaurant DaLat with pizza, reflecting the owner's Vietnamese culinary roots. The creative approach to topping combinations shows how this place brings together different food traditions in a casual, untraditional way.
Ordering works simply by texting your request, making it easy to get pizza late at night without much fuss. The place operates primarily as takeout and delivery, staying open into the early morning hours for late-night customers.
Pizza quality intentionally varies, with crusts sometimes tender and sometimes tough, which is part of the place's distinctive character. A popular creation is the Pho Shizzle pizza, inspired by Vietnamese pho soup, which delivers savory flavors enhanced with a special Sriracha ranch sauce.
