Someone call John Fogerty — a Fortunate Son is planned near the Ferguson Road and Lakeland Drive intersection.
Fortunate Son Beer Garden & Pizza House, which was first opened in Garland a few years ago by the same team behind Goodfriend Beer Garden & Burger House off Garland Road, will reportedly open at 8686 Ferguson Road, Suite 200.
“Work is underway on the new space, which includes a large covered outdoor patio, perfect for enjoying pizza with friends and family,” reads an Instagram post from LiveLocal_EastDallas.
Alongside its beer, cocktail and wine program, Fortunate Son boasts its New Haven-style pizza, which co-owner Matt Tobin ate while spending summers with his grandfather in Connecticut, according to the restaurant’s website.
“Thin, charred crust that had a great chew to it, whole milk mozzarella and a super bright, fresh tomato sauce with the little pepperonis that ‘cupped’ up just right and held on to a little grease,” reads Fortunate Son’s website.
The new location is near Dollar General and was once occupied by Superior Cutz, according to the City’s permitting website. Since June, multiple work permits have been filed for the address for renovations. An opening date hasn’t been announced yet.
