Pi.e 3.14 Everyday Eatery in Lewisville

That’s not a mistake in the name. It’s a tongue-in-cheek tweak from a place that’s sometimes called Pie for short. Known for its pizza, Pie also offers a delightfully creative brunch menu. Inside Out French Toast or Green Eggs and Ham, anyone? We’ll try both, thanks.

Bennie on a biscuit?!? Yep, order The Southern. Chicken and Waffles beg to be tried, while bottomless mimosas are just $14.

Chino Chinatown in Trinity Groves

And now for something completely different – if you love the unexpected, Chino Chinatown will come through for you. Chinese and Latin inspired cuisine? Yes, and there’s a whole lotta fusion going on. Chicken Lolli Steam Buns, Tres Leches French Toast, and Chorizo Poutin are just a few of their decidedly different offerings.

WHAT MAKES IT FUN?

The menu (Miso Hungover?) made us laugh. Duck Fat Fried Rice is rumored to bring tears of joy. Order the DIY Lo’mosa and mix your champagne with pineapple orange and mango juices.
