Si'z Pizzeria, Denton

Inside, Si'z Pizza seems like your ordinary pizza joint with its tiled floors and metal-backed chairs. Its inventive specialty pizzas throw you for a pleasant loop, though. The coconut milk-infused Red Dwarf pie comes piled high with curried chicken, bamboo shoots, grated carrot, and fresh basil. The Artistocrat combines veal, feta, spinach, and artichoke hearts with a hollandaise sauce.

Of course, there's still the traditional margherita pizza, but even that exceeds expectations—it's topped with organic basil that is cut right over the pizza while it's being made. If you aren't in the mood for a slice, you can nibble sauce-coated wings instead.
