Omg you guys. Idk what kind of witchcraft they got goin on at this place, but this is the ABSOLUTE BEST gluten "free" pizza I've ever had. Hell, it might even be some of the best pizza I've ever had, period. SO fresh and flavorful & chewy & cheesy & delicious. They call it "gluten friendly" dough. I am not celiac, so I don't have to be super careful about trace cross contamination. I do have a gluten intolerance due to autoimmune issues, and don't eat anything with wheat ingredients. I've been gluten free since 2017, and have had my fair share of gf pizza since then. Lots of terrible ones. A few that were better. But NONE like this. It is fluffy and light and thick and just like REAL gluten filled pizza. If I didn't know it was GF I'd NEVER be able to tell. I ordered the Straight Veg, and added Italian sausage. The veggies were so fresh and packed with flavor. I can't wait to try all of the other flavors! Thunderbird, take all my money please. Please don't ever go away. I need you in my life! read more

We waited a few weeks and got our Detroit Pizza on! This was a busy day as people were streaming in! Lots of orders to go and lots of folks dining in! Lots of kids and there was something of an arcade which they were loving! It's somewhat easy to find as it is next to Cane Rosso and adjoins Cow Tipping Creamery. To be honest, I'd never had a Detroit style pizza. It was rectangular, thickish and edge to edge with cheese and ingredients. The staff helped me pick and I also got a salad. All was out to the table quickly! The salad was huge! The pizza was very filling! Cost, well, this is Lakewood so no bargains here! read more

The pizza was pretty good but the bottom was burned which made each bite taste burnt. You have to order at the counter and service seems like an afterthought. I did see lots of take out happening but I was one of only 2 tables dinning in on a Friday night . read more

Ordered the Budd pizza online for a pick up order. The website was easy to use. The pizza wasn't quite ready when I got there (takes longer than I expected but must be for a Detroit style) but it was DEFINITELY worth the wait. The crust was crispy and had that caramelized cheese hanging over. The sauce was flavorful, next time I will order a little extra because I like it saucy. The restaurant was empty but it was very clean and comfortable. I will be back to try some different pizzas!! read more

Was craving Detroit style pizza and was pleasantly surprised at this place which is next door and under the same ownership to Cane Rosso. It's not super easy to get to from downtown Dallas - definitely need a shared ride as I don't think there is public transit and it's about 5 miles away by highway and in an old strip mall. The restaurant is very casual with order at the counter and wait for them to bring it out to your table. They have a small selection of draft beer and some cans to choose from in addition to soda fountain. They also have some ice cream that looked intriguing. The reason to show up is for the Detroit style pizza. Don't be thrown off by the size - definitely go for the large - easily split by 2-3. The dough looks thick but it is airy so does not fill you up like a gut bomb. The cheese char on the edges is what makes these special. So worth the caloric splurge read more

Thunderbird Pies is the latest pizza joint from the team that brought you Cane Rosso (Neapolitan Style) and Zoli's (New York Style). Introducing Detroit Style Pizza. I live in DFW, but this is the best import from the Motor City and in this Yelper's opinion, is the BEST pizza of any kind in DFW. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Facility, Return) Atmosphere - You'll find Thunderbird Pies in a shopping strip in East Dallas. It shares space with Cow Tipping Creamery. It's mainly a To Go/Take Out stand as there is no wait service, but there are plenty of tables you can sit at. In front you'll find some video games for the kids, and plenty of fun and inspired art on the wall. Not fancy - very family friendly and accessible. 1 Star. Service - I came for the soft opening, but the staff couldn't have been nicer. It's fast casual, so you order in the front, grab a number, and take a seat. Fountain drinks and plates are self-serve. The staff was great - they brought out the food, came to check on us, and the main pizza chef even came out to make sure everything was up to their standards. It easily exceeded it. 1 Star. Food - Detroit Style pizza is the only pizza where I eat the entire slice from edge to edge. Each magical pie begins on a buttery soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, cheese baked on the edge layer that makes the pizza unique, delicious, the worthy of its own class. My favorite is a tossup between the honey bastard (hot soppraseta, bacon marmalade, and habanero honey) and the original Budd - with the caramelized cheese and tomato sauce. The sauce is poured on at the end - it's unlike any pizza you've eaten. But Thunderbird Pies is not a one trick pony, their apps are as good as the pizza, as an order of artichokes was tasty and a perfect pairing to the pizza. Bonus - because I eat the entire slice there's always going to be pizza to go, and it takes just as good when reheated. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Thunderbird Pies began as a ghost kitchen in Zoli's Addison. Back then it was only offered M - Thur. But this pie is so good it deserves to be served 7 days a week. So now that the new East Dallas location is open I will certainly be back. 1 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score. read more

I visited right at 3:00 one afternoon when I had missed lunch and I got the happy hour special (3:00-6:00). That definitely helps since these are expensive pies. It's $3 off a select few (original, Connie or Honey Bastard). A small is a very filling meal for one person I would say. My honey bastard arrived hot on a rack and boasted a nice crispy crust with just the right crunch to it. These are bready pizzas with a cheesy flavor to the crust. It may be too much bread and cheese for some people but I found it delicious. The only disappointment was that I ordered a pizza without the red sauce which I really wanted to try. However the honey bastard had a good mix of lots of flavors. The hot sopresetta and bacon marmalade satisfied my meat requirements and the cheese had delicious flavor. A few basil leaves gave it a herby touch and the habanero honey had a mild burn and a tasty contrasting sweetness. All in all I'm looking forward to trying another pie soon. read more

OMG we love the Hot Bastard pizza with mushrooms! I didn't know what "Detroit style," pizza was, but it seems this place has it down. We also tried the buffalo wings which had a great flavor. I love having this place in my neighborhood. read more

What a great find. Detroit style pizza. Thick square crust, burnt cheese (in a good way!) - what more could deep dish pizza lovers ask for? This is a quaint pizza joint with seating both in and out and some great soft serve ice cream options in the adjacent counter. You order off a menu board and for the most part, everything is self-service. I love the fact that you can split up the types of pizzas in half even with the small so you get to try some of their different combinations. Well worth it. I think it does great even with a well-known specialty pizza place next-door, this definitely holds its own. read more

Finally had a chance to check out the brick and mortar of this establishment. While Zoli's was technically closer to my house, Im glad to see Thunderbirds get a dedicated building to themselves. While they said it would take 40 minutes, pizza came out in 17 minutes (it wasn't super busy or crowded on this Friday night). The detroit style pizza is still the main attraction here. The Hawaiian pizza was actually a surprise hit. I felt it had a good balance of meat to fruit and vegetable ratio. It also had a slight floral element that most Hawaiian pizzas don't have. The sausage and pepperoni one is solid, but not the most exciting or best thing they have to offer. Their wings and cheesy bread SUCK! The wings are coated in this gross buffalo wing sauce and the meat itself isnt juicy or tender. The cheesy bread barely had any toppings and felt like old dough being repurposed. After 8 minutes, the bread turns hard as a rock. Stay away from ANY of their appetizers in my opinion. Their B.S. Kale salad is not bad. They are heavily dressed, but they still have texture. The meat and cheese ingredients actually stand out, so it doesn't feel like you are eating straight up kale. read more

Thunderbird is fantastic. Their famous "Honey Bastard" pizza just so happens to be my favorite... I never knew I liked honey on pizza til I visited Thunderbird (and Cane Rosso.) The crust on their pizza is crispy and crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. The pizza is very filling- honestly I can't finish one and always have leftovers. I also enjoy the beers they have on tap. Thunderbird Pies has always been a great experience for me. read more

One of the worst experiences I've ever had ordering pizza. The service was awful and the people in the back lost our slip. I waited at the counter for 40 minutes.

First time trying Thunderbird Pies and it was great! Wonderful staff, great service, and reasonable wait time. Yall, parking was easy which already starts the night at a great note. Pizza and wings were stellar. They also have ice cream which is a great way to top off the night. 10/10, will come again! read more

I love a Detroit style pizza and this place did not disappoint! We got the Connie and Island Boi. The red sauce they use is delicious. Their ranch is banana pepper ranch which was unique and grand!

Pleasantly surprised with both the quantity and quality of the pizza (and ice cream). Worth the price!

We are a big fan of their sister restaurant. Decided to try Thunderbird. Got it delivered on a Sunday afternoon. We had the honey bastard and s&p 5000. Both were really good pizzas! I expected the crust to be heavy because it's thick. It wasn't heavy at all. It was pretty close to perfect for a deep dish pizza. We'll definitely be ordering from TB again! read more

Definitely a vibe. I would return read more

I feel catfished. Their Instagram ad looks good and has ton of toppings so I ordered a large for national pizza day. Compare my pizza with theirs. Mine needs more toppings. Pizza was good but do I feel justified for cost? No. Also judging from everybody else's pizza on Yelp, their pizza has so much more toppings read more

Pulled pork. Ham. Wisconsin Brick Cheese, pickles & mustard - Miami Vice! Pizza of the month for the win! A fantastic combination indeed. The vegetarian and 3 yr old granddaughter have the Frico Sauve a 5 out 5 as well. Started off with their Kale B. A. and Santorini salads - I like kale and Brussels sprouts add a handful of Parmesan cheese and a creamy Italian dressing and you've got the makings of an amazing salad. The crumbled Feta cheese on the Santorini along with the bite size pieces of tomato and cucumber were a big hit. Whatever that frozen wine thing that I drank was - get it! Really delish. The young man at the register knew everything about the menu and the pizza sizes, told us it could take up to 20 minutes - it took less than 10! Love the way they use the odd shaped space and the whack a mole was big hit with the granddaughter. 10 out 10, they always hit it out of the park. read more

I'm really impressed with how delicious and fresh their pizza is and really enjoyed their crisp crust. I had the veggie pizza and it was loaded with lots of fresh ingredients. Great service and everything came out super quick! Afterwards we enjoyed ice cream which is a part of the restaurant. Couldn't resist dessert!! Everything was so yummy and we even had pizza leftovers which were amazing in the air fryer the next couple of days. Can't wait to go back! It's now one of my Dallas favorites. read more

Excellent service and delicious pizza! They also serve beer and wine and some hard seltzers. We loved the fried artichokes and the dip we got for appetizers. If you really want to indulge, there is the Cow Tipping Creamery sharing the space under the same roof! Loved their Gimme S'more sundae.

this place is SO GOOD!! its been on my to-eat list for so long and im sososo glad i got to try it today. the staff were so helpful in showing us their recs and crowd favorites, and making sure we were having a good time! we got the small frico suave, small honey bastard, and the fried artichokes as an app. we also got the pinot freezio lol artichokes were so awesomely crispy but i feel like if there was lemon to squeeze on top / lemon aioli dip it would elevate this dish to a whole new godly level. the frico suave was INCREDIBLE. so cheesy and rich (the caramelized onions were such a perfect cherry on top) and get the honey bastard if you're looking for a sweet, savory, mildly spicy combo. the crust on these pizzas are to die for. the crunch was SOOO satisfying, i'll be dreaming about it tonight and forever. normally i don't like thick crust pizzas but the dough was still so fluffy inside, even with that killer crunch! my friend and i could not stop saying "omg." after every bite. this place is great haha thank u for blowing our minds thunderbird pies read more

My friend recommended this place, and I am glad we went to see what the hype is all about. The location is close to White Rock Lake, and beware of roadway construction causing congestion. The restaurant is located inside a strip shopping center. It looks ordinary on the outside, but the vibe inside is warm and inviting. The music was 70s, 80s, and 90s era, we were jamming on B.I.G Hypnotize, Curtis Blow, and the Sugar Hill Gang. We were promptly greeted by Drew, the on duty manager. The menu was explained along with their Frito Pie creation that was at a special discount price. We ordered the Santorini salad, which was enough for two people, and was quite delicious. We also ordered the Thunder Mifflin pie. I would recommend that you enjoy the pie in the spacious and clean dining room. Our salad was enough to keep us occupied while our pie was being created. Once our pie was delivered, we used the mini pans as plates, and yes... with each crunchy bite, we will never eat another concept of pizza pie from Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Inn again! Lastly, the restroom was neat and clean as well. This, to me, can be a turn-off when the restroom facilities at other restaurants are nastier than the dumpsters behind the restaurants. Hopefully, you will enjoy the food items as much as we did read more

We checked out Thunderbird Pies yesterday afternoon, and enjoyed our first Detroit style pizza with a big Pinio freezio while watching the Cowboys dismantle the Giants, a sweet and enjoyable experience from every perspective. We ordered a big drip pan pizza, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Compared to other styles of pie (I grew up with Chicago pan pizza), is a bit high on the bread to toppings ratio for my taste, although the outer edge of the crust had a nice crunch factor going. The food and drinks are priced on the aggressive side of market rates for what they are, enough so that we will likely not be coming here a lot in the future, absent a good reason to show someone what the Detroit pie is all about. read more

This is good pizza, but I definitely won't be ordering It to go again. It doesn't hold heat. Quoted 15 minutes on the wait time, but it had obviously been sitting there waiting for me. Cheese sticks were warm and pizza was a little bit hotter than warm. I would order both again, but dine in. Staff was nice ! The pizza leftovers were gooooooood when I put them in the oven. I will return. read more

We ordered delivery. We had the Connie. It was full of flavor and not greasy. I'm typically not a fan of thick crust, but they made it work! For an appetizer we had the fried artichokes.

This place is slowly moving up in the rankings as one of my new favorite pizza spots! I've never had Detroit Style Pizza before trying out Thunderbird and I've definitely been missing out. I've only tried the Honey Bastard and the Connie and both are delicious. I personally like the Honey Bastard better Neapolitan style from Cane Rosso but I still highly recommend trying it out here too. The star of Detroit Style is the crispy, cheesy crust. I can't get enough of it! The size of the personal pizzas is perfect I'm always full after two slices and reheating leftovers the next day tastes just as yummy. If you're a pepperoni lover like me, take advantage of the Connie Special ($10 small and $15 large) on Mondays. Hope you enjoy a little slice of Detroit in Dallas! read more
