DallasTX 75252 972 930-0668 sporkdallas.com GRIMALDIS ALLEN There was a time when you could only get Grimaldis famous coal-fired brick oven pizza in New York. But that was then. Today there are Grimaldis almost everywhere it seems. While the menu is somewhat basic pizzas calzones salads its also consistent. But what we like about the Allen location is that it overlooks the little park atWatters Creek where live music is often played during warmer months. grimaldispizzeria.com 836 Market St. AllenTX 75013 214 383-9703 TUKTA THAI RICHARDSON Delicious food a veggie-friendly menu dont worry theres meat too brisk service and a putting green Yes a putting green apparently the owners daughter is quite the golfer so there you have it. Quirkiness aside Tukta Thais Pad Thai is one of Richardsons best and the Curry Friend Rice and Pad Woon Sen are equally good. Its BYOB policy makes it a budget-friendly place to dine in or skip the putting green and do take-out. tuktathair- estaurant.com 9625 Plano Rd.
