The overview

Credited with Texas's first pizza, served since 1950.

Campisi's is "The Original Texas Pizzeria," serving Dallas since 1946, when the Campisi family opened on Mockingbird Lane. The famous "Egyptian" sign is an accident of history — old neon from a former tenant that simply stayed up — and the cracker-thin pizza and red-sauce Italian classics made it a genuine Dallas landmark.

Family-run for generations, Campisi's is the 2025 Centurion Award winner in Dallas.
