Tulsa Food

Downtown Tulsa has a distinct lack of options for the après theatre crowd. That became clear last Friday as my husband and I, peckish after the ballet, searched in vain for a place to grab a night cap and a bite. It was a few minutes before 11pm and after striking out on several fronts, [...]

Gluten Free pizza seems to be popping out of many restaurant ovens these days and I am eager to get my paws on it all! I love many of the pies around town and I have found a pizza that makes my taste buds trill, ONE LOVE, ONE HEART, and ONE GLUTEN FREE “DEEPER DISH” [...]

On our first visit to Howie’s, we could not resist the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Pizza – Hamburger & Smoked Bacon topped with Mozzarella & Aged Cheddar Cheese. On our crust, we did half ranch crust and half garlic herb. This pizza was full of flavor. Hungry Howie’s also has a Hawaiian style pizza called the [...]

Gusano’s Chicago Style Pizza recently opened in South Tulsa at about 101th and Mingo and they are coming to Tulsa with a big claim. Their website says that they make, “THE best Chicago-style deep dish pizza in the world”. If you love pizza and that does not get you excited, I don’t know what will. [...]

At Andolini’s, they take pizza seriously. Their master pizzaiolo learned his craft in Italy and he’s taught his apprentices well. That’s why, when I visited their brand-new Cherry Street branch, I took one look at their lovely dining room, brand-new but already homey and welcoming… and then took a table in front, near the open [...]

I have been eating at Bellacino’s for about 3 years now. Up until this week, I’ve been preoccupied with their selection of grinders. Not exploring a restaurant’s menu is the very thing that I try to avoid. Bellacino’s variety of  specialty pizzas and ingredients really impressed me, but what got me even more excited were the [...]

This is a tough question… Let’s first ask, “What makes a great pizza?” Several things make a great pizza, number one being the hands that made it. If a chef makes a pizza half-heartedly, you can certainly bet that it isn’t going to taste as great as if he loves what he does. I like [...]

I never felt so guilty. I walked into Pie Hole Pizzeria and didn’t get a pie, rather, I got a large serving of pizza dough. Those of you that have been to Pie Hole Pizzeria understand what I am saying. The aroma of pizza inside this tiny pizza joint is intense. Pie Hole is known [...]

The Super Bowl is kind of like Thanksgiving and Christmas all over again. Bringing the excitement of sports and togetherness mixed with one of the biggest and best feasts of the year. For all three of these yearly events there is always one common question, what to eat and how to guarantee it will be [...]

One of my favorite things to brag about Tulsa on is the many entrepreneurs that have followed their hearts, took risk and succeeded in making an idea reality that millions have since enjoined. One of those individuals that I personally admire is Ken Selby the founder of Mazzio’s Pizza. Below is a press release about [...]

It was a warm summer night many years ago. The moon blazed down on southern Italy. My dad was lecturing in Naples and one of his Italian friends had taken us to an outdoor restaurant in a small nearby town. Now this guy was the first chowhound I’d ever met. He was rich and he [...]

Walk into Hey Mambo, Tulsa’s newest Italian restaurant, through the unassuming entrance, past the bar whose wood-paneled wine racks rise to the top of what must surely be a 25 foot ceiling, and into the splashy ultramodern decor of the dining area, and you’ll see a big poster of busty young women harvesting rice. It’s [...]

Look out Tulsa pizza lovers because Marley’s Chicago Style Pizzeria is opening this Monday and we hear they might have some surprises… like awesome deep dish! We don’t have all the details (so please add to the bottom of this post) but all signs point to the first week of November sometime. We got our [...]

Wondering where lunch was coming from (I was stood up for lunch so I was on my own), I looked out my office window and spotted a block north of “The Center of the Universe” the just opened restaurant “Hey Mambo Italiano” “Hey Mambo Italiano”, owned and operated by Scott Moore, features a true wood [...]

Did you know that, at Tulsa’s Pie Hole Pizzeria on Cherry Street, any pizza lover can purchase dough enough for a large pizza for just $3? And that just up the street at 6th Street and Peoria Avenue at Centennial Park on Thursday afternoons there’s a wealth of pizza toppings available at The Pearl Farmers’ Market?

Did you know that Mazzio’s is a Tulsa start-up? Founded in 1961 by Ken Selby, a school teacher that worked long hours after a full days work at Tulsa Public Schools, “The Pizza Parlor” was a hit in Tulsa. Four years later, Ken decided to make pizza his full time job and the one-man pizza [...]

50 cent wings, $1 High-Life, great pizza and a wide open stage make the perfect setting for an “Open Mic Night” at Joe Momma’s pizza. That’s what you’ll find every Monday night at 9 p.m. at this popular downtown pizza joint. We decided to check out some local spots for Open Mic Night for my [...]

Listen-up Football fans!  This contest is simple.  The Super Bowl is this Sunday, and we want to help you win some free food.  If you have not heard of Bellacino’s, I can personally tell you: it is the only place in Tulsa, that I know [...]

Here is a Tulsa Food Talk round up for your Friday afternoon enjoyment. If you don’t know about Tulsa Food Talk checkout the section under this post which explains Tulsa Food Talk. In my mind it’s like a foodie Talk blog or micro food blog for short form discussion on-the-go. Even cooler than that is [...]

After overwhelming response to our Tulsa Food Poll, naturally we feel like we have to visit any unvisited pizza spots. At least 102 people have voted Uncle Vinny’s as the best/most popular pizza in Tulsa, so we thought we would check it out!  Uncle Vinny’s has 2 locations.  One is located on 71st and the [...]

Yesterday’s food poll got me thinking about pizza around town. I was thinking: What is my favorite pizza, and even better…at the right price? Let me just say, my name is Brian McCullough, and I love Sam’s Club pizza. Sorry all you Oklahoma pizza joints out there, I eat you often, I think about you [...]

In the past we have brought you ongoing food polls: Best BBQ, Coffee House, Hamburger. One interesting thing about a city’s food scape is that the best is always changing. You may notice that our polls are ongoing. Today we would like to offer you a platform to vote for Tulsa’s best Pizza. Be sure [...]

Its a beautiful morning, and I get a phone call from a good friend that is in town! She had just gotten out of class at OSU-Tulsa, and asks me if I would like to go to lunch today.  Since she is new to Tulsa, she asks if there is a place I recommend close [...]

It’s lunch time, and we are HUNGRY!!!! A trip to Bellacino’s sounds like the perfect fix for a hungry office. Four of us decided to go out to lunch to this Pizza/Grinder heaven on Riverside Drive. The place was packed and smells from the huge, open kitchen were drifting through the restaurant. I could hardly [...]

This ain’t no ordinary pizza! The best ingredient by far is the Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce (available at http://www.countrybobs.com ). Marinating the chicken in the sauce mixture (Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce + Country Bob’s BBQ Sauce) overnight was the most important step in this process. We decided to use the remainder of the [...]

A group of friends and I have been anxiously awaiting the release of The Time Traveler’s Wife, the movie. So naturally we made plans to go and see it the day that it came out last Friday night. I met up with my friends in Owasso and we decided to try Arris Pizza before the [...]
