A frieze on a polygon is a map from the diagonals of the polygon to an integral domain which respects the Ptolemy relation. Conway and Coxeter previously studied positive friezes over $\mathbb{Z}$ and showed that they are in bijection with triangulations of a polygon. We extend their work by studying friezes over $\mathbb Z[\sqrt{2}]$ and their relationships to dissections of polygons. We largely focus on the characterization of unitary friezes that arise from dissecting a polygon into triangles and quadrilaterals. We identify a family of dissections that give rise to unitary friezes and conjecture that this gives a complete classification of dissections which admit a unitary frieze.
