The Rise of DOZO Omakase and Handroll

Trinity Groves, Dallas’ once-celebrated restaurant incubator, has undergone a transformation since its early days in 2013. What began as a haven for experimental eateries and local chefs is now home to a wider array of dining experiences, spearheaded by the new leadership of Sam Romano, son of founder Phil Romano. His vision has opened the doors for third-party restaurants to take center stage, creating a fresh chapter in the development’s ongoing evolution.

While a few of the original concepts, like Beto & Son and Kate Weiser, have remained a staple, others have come and gone. Restaurants like Oreste’s and Rollin Smoke BBQ quickly closed their doors, leaving many to wonder if the revitalization effort would succeed.

Inside is a casual dining experience with friendly staff and an extensive bar. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a cute Aperol Spritz and a small bag of seasoned fries clipped to the side. It was an exciting way to begin my dive into their amazing pizza with homemade yeasty thin crust and a good amount of mozzarella.
