Tucked into the Gates of Prosper shopping center, Killa Pie has quietly turned Detroit-style, pan-baked pies into a local draw, backed up by a crowd-pleasing lineup of pastas, wings, and a full bar. Co-owner Shane Lambert says diners have zeroed in on the Hell Cat, a double-pepperoni, cheese-edged pie that the team calls its top seller. These days, the menu is split about half between pizzas and half between pastas, roasted chicken, burgers, and wings for anyone who wants more than a slice.
How the dough is made
The owners leaned on national experts while dialing in their pan-style technique. As reported by Community Impact, Lambert explained that “Detroit-style [pizza dough] has a higher hydration. It has to ferment for 48 hours cold, then it undergoes a second fermentation process in the pan.” That coverage also notes the team worked with the late Detroit pizzaiolo Shawn Randazzo, along with author Peter Reinhart, while developing the dough and processes.
Menu highlights and drinks
According to KillA Pie, the menu features Detroit-style pies such as the Pioneer and Hell Cat, built with Wisconsin brick cheese and DiNapoli tomato sauce, plus build-your-own and cauliflower-crust options. The site also lists wings, priced at 6 for $11 and 12 for $16, along with a roster of pastas and sandwiches. Behind the bar, customers will find cocktails that include the Pineapple Bomb and a blood-orange margarita. Delivery and reservation listings show solid customer ratings, which line up with the shop’s early traction in the area.
Background
The shop opened in late 2021 after the owners spent years testing recipes with Reinhart and other experts, according to coverage from CultureMap Dallas. That extended development process underpins the multi-day fermentation and pan technique Lambert describes, and it helps explain why the menu now stretches beyond strictly pizza offerings.
Official records
