Lewisville's Best Lunch

Lunch in Lewisville has a way of sorting itself into extremes: a steakhouse patio built for slow conversation or a counter stool at Oh K Dog, where the mozzarella cheese dog waits for no one. We crisscrossed the 35E and 121 split to find the city’s best midday meals, from the short rib pappardelle at Pie 314 to the flaky, fresh-baked buns at PappaRoti.

Some places merited a forty-minute drive; others just required a willingness to loosen your belt. All of them earned a second look.

These are the lunches we’d happily repeat.

D'Nonna

Highlights
Worth a 40-minute drive
Friendly, welcoming staff throughout
Fun, hands-on pizza classes

D'Nonna is worth the 40-minute drive, and I say that without hesitation. The staff is genuinely welcoming from the moment you walk in, and the hands-on pizza classes are a fun way to spend an afternoon. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, from the dough to the toppings, and the space is spotless and well-organized. It's a casual place that takes its craft seriously, and I left planning my next visit. That's the highest compliment I can give.
