Neapolitan Pizza, and Rex’s Seafood.

In Dallas, the UberEATS app is available in downtown, Uptown, Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, Design District, Oak Lawn, Highland Park, University Park, Knox-Henderson, Lower Greenville and Lakewood areas.
It’s also available in Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Toronto, Uber said.
