I know what my favorite places are, what are yours?
Hideaway pizza!!
Marrio’s Pizza! It’s sooo New York! Love It!
Some good responses on Twitter
1) Home made including dough. Come on people, making dough is crazy easy.
2) Pie Hole (largely due to proximity, in my neighborhood)
3) Tucci’s
4) Mario’s
5) Hideaway
6) Umbertos
Crap, forgot JoMaMa’s would put it at my #5 and move the others down.
I thought you liked Hey Mambo more.
True Brian, but I’ve only had a slice. Need to get the whole pie and re-rank.
in no particular order
Hungry Howie’s
La Roma
Gina and Guisepe’s
I love Sams Club Pizza. Sorry I just do.
Mario’s

Here are my thoughts about pizza and about Tulsa.

Joe Mamma’s!!!! Maybe Gemma’s Woodfire second. Now I have to try Hey Mambo after reading some of these comments. Favorite pizza? Cellinis in Sacile, Italy. Sitting on the river on a warm summer evening enjoying wood fire pizza and a cold beer. Beam me up Scotty 
Oh you are so right about Gemma’s! I just forgot to mention it. Are you in the Air Force?
Used to be, well the husband was. Lived in Turkey, England and Italy for 8 years after 4 in Northern California, great assignments, incredible food! Nice to see that Tulsa has some good food and seem to be “foodies”. Love, love the fig and chicken pizza at Gemma’s, wouldn’t have seen that mixture in Italy but still nice oven and good crust.
Brother’s Pizza, 101st and Sheridan!
Joe Momma’s has to be my hands down favorite in town!
Minuteman Pizza near 51st & Hwy 97
Yes, yes, yes!!! The Minuteman Pizza Parlor, on 41st Street just West of Highway 97! It is sooooo excellent, it has a one-of-a-kind taste — it takes just a teensy bit longer than most places, but that’s because they’re making them in a real oven, turning the pies and popping the bubbles to make it come out perfect!
Wow, no love yet for Uncle Vinny’s. Sad.
For NY Style, Uncle Vinny’s. Also love the thin crust Chicago Style at Savastano’s (love the traditional Chicago style too). And Joe Momma’s is tough to beat for originality… Queue the Rocky music set to TFG training for Incinerator Challenge montage.
Hey, shout out for Uncle Vinny’s! We like them too!
Savastano’s
In any order: Joe Mama’s, La Roma, Savastano’s, Hey Mambo, Pie Hole (not by the slice – get the whole pie).
1. Umberto’s
2. Mario’s
3. Pie Hole
4. Hey Mambo
5. Savastano’s
Mike, I like that list, but haven’t been to Mario’s in a long time (and that was the BA one), and haven’t been to Hey Mambo. My list would be similar except Hey Mambo wouldn’t be on there (again because I haven’t been… yet) and Uncle Vinny’s would bump everything else back a slot. Though I love Savastano’s thin crust so i might be inclined to move them up.
How come no love for Gemma’s?
Haven’t been yet.
And what about Andolini’s? Read Tasha’s great review at this link:
http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2011/03/andolinis-pizzeria-owasso-to-cherry-street/
Read her post last week. Interested that he is neapolitan certified or something like that. Owasso is a bit of a drive but her review has put it on the spring break week list.
I’m not sure why I have not discovered this earlier in life. Such a mix just makes scene in my mind, it seems like a product you should be able to buy off the shelf or from a Boy Scout.
This is the bacon popcorn offered at the NEW Brady Tavern in Downtown, Tulsa
Brady Tavern, a modern neighborhood pub located in downtown Tulsa’s Brady District
Sunday—Wednesday 11am—Midnight
Thursday—Saturday 11am—2am
201 N. Main | Corner of Brady & Main

Interesting idea. I’m not a big fan of popcorn except at the movie theater where I can keep telling them to put more and more butter on it and then load it with as much salt as I want, but this is something I could get on board with! But what’s with the cloth napkin it’s presented with? That’s like wearing a tuxedo to eat at Bill’s Jumbo Burger!
Why not have a pork chop with that popcorn? Or a burger?

We just got this Email from the McNellie’s Group! We have a review of Brady Tavern for you coming Soon!
TULSA, OK, January 5, 2011 – Brady Tavern, the newest addition to the McNellie’s Group family of pubs, restaurants and entertainment venues, is now open in downtown Tulsa. Elliot Nelson, the founder and CEO of the McNellie’s Group, describes the Brady Tavern as, “a modern interpretation of the classic neighborhood pub.”
A beautiful dark wood bar, which is the one thing the McNellie’s Group did not change when they took over the space in the old Fox Hotel building at 201 N. Main, inspired Nelson to create a drink menu unlike any other in Tulsa. The menu includes artisan beers, craft wines, hard to find whiskeys from micro-distilleries like Tuthilltown Spirits, and a pre-prohibition era cocktail list created by master mixologist Tony Collins. The signature drink, a bacon infused Old Fashioned, is a mix of bacon infused bourbon, Grade A maple syrup, orange peel and bitters.
The food menu, designed by chef Grant Vespasian, features a gourmet twist on classic pub food. Popular menu items include:
· Tavern Burger – A proprietary grind of short rib and brisket served with a Stilton and mushroom Cognac cream on a house-baked bun
· Roasted Chicken – Served with creamed fingerling potatoes and wilted spinach
· Bangers & Mash – Fassler Hall Bangers, truffled potatoes and Irish whiskey gravy
Freshly baked breads and homemade desserts complement the seasonally influenced menu.
Two chef’s tables, which are literally in the Brady Tavern kitchen, allow customers to enjoy their meals from a completely different perspective. Eating amidst the action of the kitchen is a unique way for diners to watch chefs cook and experience the energy of a busy dinner service.
The Brady Tavern represents the McNellie’s Group first foray into the Brady District. Nelson said, “We’re exited to finally have a presence in the Brady Arts District, downtown Tulsa’s first entertainment district. A lot is happening in the area and we’re happy to be a part of it. The Brady Tavern will be open 7-days a week for lunch, dinner, drinks and late-night dining. Therefore, we hope the Tavern will function as a true pub and become a gathering point for people living in and around downtown.”

“Jenk’s.” Really?

The Tulsa World just had a great review of this place. I plan to pay it a visit. Basically, they have not only sushi but also traditional Korean dishes such as Kalbi (barbecued short ribs), all $10 and under.
Brian S. 6:40 pm on August 22, 2011 Permalink |
Well I visited and the kalbi and other Korean dishes were great. Very friendly owners too! I’ll write a review soon.
