At the peak of Campisi\u2019s holiday surge, a fire broke out<\/a> at 5405 W. Lovers Lane and devastated the restaurant, as well as a few other businesses in this strip mall.<\/p>\n

Seven months later, it\u2019s back. <\/p>\n

Well, almost.<\/p>\n

Recently on Facebook<\/a>, Campisi\u2019s announced that the former space would not be resurrected, and instead, it would reopen at 7709 Inwood Road, the former Perch Bistro & Bar space near Inwood and Lovers Lane. If everything goes to plan, they\u2019re eyeing an early 2027 opening.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of a bigger play too: a second, delivery-focused kitchen already opened this month at the old Saucy\u2019s Thai & Pho spot on Royal Lane,\u201d continues the announcement post, \u201cwith the strategy being smaller delivery zones from multiple kitchens across Dallas instead of leaning on third-party apps.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a time when Dallas restaurants are getting pelted with delivery app fees<\/a>, this appears to be a smart move from Campisi\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Campisi\u2019s has served its iconic pizzas in Dallas since 1946 and has eight restaurants around the metroplex, including the location that is about to reopen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s known for small-batch recipes passed down through the family for generations, but what everyone remembers most is its original location on Mockingbird Lane, which still sports its \u201cEgyptian Restaurant\u201d sign out front and has a mafia-mystique vibe inside.<\/p>\n

These days, diners will say it\u2019s past its heyday, while others still crave the nostalgic flavors they grew up with, and to that, a line from David Campisi answers this controversy: \u201cWe\u2019re an iconic brand, like it or don\u2019t like it, that\u2019s who we are. These expansions aren\u2019t us trying to be anyone else. Who\u2019s ready for round two?\u201d<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know who has beef with toasted ravioli and thin-crust pizza, but whether they like it or not, this Dallas institution is one of\u00a0the oldest restaurants in Dallas\u00a0and is here to stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Campisi’s will also on Preston Hollow will open soon.
