I finally stumbled into Pizzeria Testa in Frisco on a recent Sunday night to see what all the fuss is about.

It’s Sunday Night in Frisco (ghost town) and this place is packed. We actually had to wait for a table. Once seated our server Allison was on the money. A true foodie and her passion for the product came through immediately. Continue reading
