Best Grilled Vegetables: Charred & Crispy Guide | Arteflame
Learn the best veggies for grilling—plus times, temps, and pro tips—optimized for Arteflame heat zones for perfect char and flavor every time.
Finding the perfect slice isn't just about satisfying a craving; it's about the experience. Lewisville has quietly become a haven for pizza enthusiasts, offering everything from authentic New York-style folds to crispy Detroit squares. Whether you are looking for a quick lunch spot near the lake or a sit-down family dinner in Old Town, the options are surprisingly diverse. We spent weeks tasting our way through the city to bring you the definitive list of where to eat right now. However, even the best local pizzeria can't beat the satisfaction of mastering a wood-fired crust in your own backyard. Below, we rank the local heavyweights and then show you how to replicate that professional char at home.
The best pizza in Lewisville is characterized by fresh, house-made dough, high-quality mozzarella blends, and a cooking method that balances a crispy crust with a tender chew. In our testing, we looked for consistency, flavor profiles, and the quality of the char. Here are the spots that made the cut.
1. Motor City Pizza: The Detroit-Style Heavyweight. If you are looking for that iconic crispy cheese crown, this is the place. In our tasting, we found their dough to be perfectly airy on the inside while maintaining a buttery crunch on the outside. It is heavy, satisfying, and perfect for a cheat meal.
2. Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse: The NY Style Staple. For those who prefer a foldable slice, Parry's delivers. We were impressed by the massive size of their pies and the generous topping distribution. It brings a genuine slice of the Big Apple to Texas, paired excellently with their extensive craft beer list.
3. Alfredo’s Pizza & Pasta: The Family Classic. Sometimes you want a traditional, no-frills Italian experience. Alfredo’s stood out to us for their rich, savory tomato sauce and classic hospitality. It feels like a Sunday dinner at grandma’s house.

I used to think my backyard pizzas were decent, until I realized I was essentially baking them on a standard grate rather than searing them with fire. There is a distinct difference between a pizza cooked in a conventional oven and one kissed by open flames. The limitation of most home setups is the inability to reach the high temperatures required for that professional "leopard spotting" on the crust. Once I switched to a solid steel cooktop over wood fire, the game changed completely. You don't need a commercial brick oven to get restaurant-quality results; you just need the right heat source.
Using an Arteflame grill with the Pizza Oven attachment transforms your backyard into a pizzeria. Here is why we prefer this method over traditional gas grills:
Pro Tip: If you are hosting a large crowd and don't have time to make dough from scratch, you can always visit the Costco in Lewisville for their fresh, uncooked pizzas. Buying a wholesale pizza from Costco is a fantastic base. We recommend taking it home, adding extra gourmet toppings like prosciutto or fresh basil, and then firing it on your Arteflame Pizza Oven. It elevates a budget-friendly option into a gourmet meal.
An Arteflame grill isn't just for cooking; it changes how you host. Most grillmasters are stuck staring at a wall or hidden in a corner while the party happens elsewhere. The Arteflame’s round design invites friends to stand around the fire, drink in hand, watching the pizza bubble and cheese melt. It turns the act of cooking into a communal event, bringing the warmth of the kitchen to the outdoors.
