Olivella’s Pizza and Wine

True Neopolitan style pizza that is baked in an authentic Italian oven and tastes amazing. The salads and pastas are delicious. Pro tip-come before 5pm on Mondays through Thursdays and get 2 pizzas for the price of 1. Too bad this location isn’t in a prettier spot…

So I'm not big on pizza, yeah? All of my friends wanted to try this place. Well, these specialty pizzas were actually really good! First, I ordered a Caesar salad that was quite large. You could split this. Then I ordered a "Roman style" (wafer thin crust) Pistachio and Sausage Pizza. Wow! This was really nice! Not a bunch of bread heavy crust and no acidic tomato sauce. Just really flavorful protein! Also, on the Tuesday night we visited their wines were half-price! Can't beat a whole bottle of nice wine for the price of a glass! Service was attentive and good about sharing suggestions. Sitting outdoors under the patio heat lamp on a cold night was really enjoyable with a group of eight. (Additional gratuity included.) I was pleasantly surprised!

One of our favorite, cutest pizza joint next to SMU campus. They claim to have the best pizza in Dallas and totally devlier on that…Order the thin crust Roman with their house made sausage and mozzarella with Sopressata …you will never go to another pizza joint. Oh and they have an amazing collection of wines!!!! Their spaghetti and meatballs are good too!

We had the Margherita Pizza and the White Truffle, they were both fresh and delicious. The service that Diana provide was exceptional!! I’ll definitely be back for more!!!

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The atmosphere felt off, and I didn’t feel any warmth or hospitality from the staff. It's important for a restaurant to make guests feel welcome, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. I hope they can improve in the future.

Great tasting pizza and a nice selection of wine. The happy hour deals which run until 4pm M-TH and until 3:30 on F are excellent. First time visit and plan to be back to try the other pizzas and food offerings.

Fort Worth location is much better. The black truffle pizza we ordered here barely had any ham on it. We counted 9 small bits on an entire $19 pizza.

Olivella's primary interest is serving pizza that will leave you satisfied and excited to return. Parking is limited and dining space is small, so maybe consider take out. Well worth the experience though! If you have a small party or want some wine with your pizza, just come a little early or leave with a little extra time on your hands. The portions are welcoming for the price, and they deliver where it counts. Texture, temperature, ingredient quality and quantity, consistency, wait time, you name it - they've got it down. The wait staff is memorable and amiable. They have quick recommendations, accommodations, and responsive yet unobtrusive timing. If you want an authentic Italian style pizza, go to Olivella's. Tip: the salad is giant, split it. Note for Olivella's: y'all might want to put that basil on your margarita pizza nearer to the end so it doesn't wilt so much (picture included). Otherwise I'd say you have a 10/10 dining experience.

Wow, the thin pizza is amazing here! I've lived in Italy so I can be a bit picky about my pizza dough and crust, this was superb. The beer selection wasn't great, but they clearly focus on wine so it's okay. Went on a Sunday evening and it was absolutely packed, but they still squeezed in my party of 5. If you are a bit claustrophobic I wouldn't recommend going at a busy time, because it's really quite a small space that they pack people into. Service was great though, sand I really enjoyed the food.

Good food, priced very well. Had the burrata- it was ok... I would definitely get the pesto on the side, it was swimming in it and very cold. Cheese dip appetizer- very good! chicken pesto pasta- very good as well, large portion! Raviolis for guest, was told good! Highly recommend if you want something close to SMU. Thursday is BOG1/2 pasta. The ambiance was nice... reminds me of a restaurant in the North End of Boston or Little Italy in NY!

Tried Olivella's for the first time today while visiting after a college tour with a friend at SMU. The space was perfect for conversing over lunch. Not only was the food exceptional the service was one of the best experiences I've had in the city. I would highly recommend this location to friends or family in the future.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. We ate outside on the patio, which had heat lamps and relatively sturdy tables. We ordered the burrata salad, veggie pizza, and ravioli to share between two people. All were delicious! The ravioli are made in house and served with a vodka sauce. So good; fluffy and rich ricotta. The pizza was good with a nice thin crust, but it got soggy quickly. Service was good; we were well taken care of. Overall, great casual pizza place.

We ordered sausage pepperoni and jalapeño pizza, and salad. Both were excellent with so much flavor.

Went here today for the first time for lunch instead of planned Hudson House because there was too long of a wait and we also wanted to sit outside since the weather was beautiful. Glad we did! When we walked in it smelled AMAZING. Cutely decorated area in the inside too. I was debating between a salad and a few pasta dishes as they all sounded so good. I landed on the ravioli and am so glad I did. It was incredible. If you like cheese and pasta, you'll LOVE this. Also the price was great for the amount you get and how delicious it was. Definitely will be coming back and will be torn on getting the ravioli again or trying something else!!! Lots of great looking pizza options.

This is a fave pizza spot of my sister and her family. While visiting Dallas from Philadelphia I am introduced to their dining spots, and this one is a good one! The back area is a kind of indoor/outdoor space that is semi open with big heaters. It offers a a nice ambiance! We ordered two pies, one truffle and one drunken pig with lots of meat... the sausage was delicious! They have great salads too! Try the burrata! The pizza was good, nice chewy crust and great flavors. We each enjoyed a glass of wine and enjoyed good service. It was a nice night!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed an Extra Crispy Roman Style Soppressata and Sausage pizza and a Della Casa salad tonight. Paired with glasses of red blend wine, the evening was magnifico! Our service was fantastico and the ambiance and vibe were outstanding. Bottom line... everything was great, and we'll be back.

We went for lunch on Thursday after seeing their happy hour BOGO pizza special between 3-5 pm and $10 sangria pitchers. The service was attentive & we loved the pizzas and sangria. Parking was convenient this time of the day. The restaurant was clean and quiet with beautiful decor. We would definitely go back.

Olivella's never disappoints us! Pizza is fabulous and wine choices are amazing. Everyone is friendly, service is impressive.

A great Lunch with Great Service. Just across from SMU. We had Cesar Salad, Wood Fire Pizza. A Canoli for Dessert.

Best Pizza ever! I'm frequently eliminating gluten from my diet but last night was my birthday and we celebrated with Olivellas pizza with extra tomato sauce and extra basil to go. I love this pizza every single time!

Lovely, friendly, neighborhood spot for an authentic Italian meal and our first choice for takeout on pizza night.

Delicious takeout pizza. Very happy with Olivella's on my first experience. I would highly recommend them.

Can claim they are straight from Italy as much as they want. Told us it would be 40 mins for a pizza. Went 30 mins later and it had been done for 15 mins. Freezing cold and sitting in an ice box. Like biting into a toenail clipping.

Excellent Staff so friendly and food fantastic. Try their salad with the balsamic, coconut, feta secret recipe dressing...... they should bottle and sell it!!!!!! Sally, our waitress was great. Nice college vibe yet not preppy. Had a zest of Italiano. 1/2 price pasta Thursday also helps during this Biden economy !!!! Highly recommend in the shadow of SMU. Pizza and entrees perfecto!

10/10 experience! Highly recommend the meatballs, black truffle pizza, soppressata + sausage pizza and the tiramisu was the best we've ever had. Iman was the best waitress and made the experience so much better. Can't wait to go back!

First time there and its own my yelp food list. Loved the sangria and my margarita pizza. What I would suggest for the outside is some electric fly traps. I mean that's what you get eating outside but it did get a little annoying. Still Kalen (hope I spelled that right) my server was A-1! I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

What a wonderful experience! From hello to goodbye all was superb. We had the Black Truffle Roman style pizza and a very nice bottle of Pinot Noir. All was paired by our excellent server and host Dayme. Olivella's reminded us of our honeymoon in Tuscany. Highly recommend and we will be back often. Wonderful choice of wines as well and all are available at a 40% discount to take home.

The best pizza rolls around. Consistent food every time. Highly recommend for done in or take out.

My favorite pizza, by far! So happy I discovered this gem in my neighborhood! Great specials and selection of wines!

What a neat little spot! We got the Caesar salad and a half drunken pig, half Snow White Roman style pizza. The crust was thin and crispy, definitely made fresh. The wines we paired with the meal were top tier. Cannot wait to come back and try more delicious dishes!

Hands down the best pizza in Dallas! The atmosphere, service, and quality is impeccable. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Super friendly and love eating around the kitchen. Went with their recommendations and was not disappointed. Wish I lived closer, will definitely be back when I am in the area.

We went there for dinner tonight. The food was so good. The wait staff was so attentive. The manager was also exceptionally. Went around to the tables and spoke to the customers. Would definitely go back and would recommend to our friends!***** I give 5 star *****

Another very good pizzeria in Dallas. I am not sure if Rachel Ray's declaration that "it's the most incredible pizza you will ever have," but it's a very good pie. I ordered the Snow White and it was worth it.

The cheese dip is so good! The Margarita pizza is very good, but it could have used a little more sauce.

Four of us shared two Caesar salads and two Metro pizzas the Drunken Pig and the Diavola), and everything was delicious, and the service, as always, was very friendly and quick. Always a fun time.

Cozy, intimate restaurant. It's not loud, but brick walls with close in seating can make hearing a challenge for us older folks dealing with the reverb. Pizza was delicious and lots of other tasty options. Would definitely return on another trip to SMU.

Great service and great food! Best Italian in Dallas, their thin crust pizza is top notch.

My favorite place!! The food is so good and I always come here, the price is also crazy for how yummy it is!

Great food and atmosphere - enjoyable time - open kitchen - good service and drink selection

A good experience with a few great points. Really neat atmosphere, feels like a neighborhood joint. Attentive service, huge wine selection, vibrant but not too loud. Some of our food was amazing, some of it was just decent. The stars were the red sauce, the Della Carne and the Roman style crust. The pesto, meatballs and margharita were a little light on flavor. Next time I'll probably do the all meat pizza on the thin crust. All in all a good enough time where we want to come back and try some other things.

I discovered Olivella's on the Monday and Wednesday runs in Deep Ellum. However the runs are in the evening so this was not open. Today I wanted to go there for lunch and this is not far from Methodist. I grabbed a coworker and off to lunch. She had the black truffle pizza and side salad, which is on the lunch special. The pizza was too darn good. I had the Don and side salad. Delish! However I could only eat half the sandwich. That's fine as the other half will be dinner. I will definitely go back and have cannoli first so that I have room for dessert. We sat at the bar and Autumn was serving us. She is great and wonderful personality. This location closes at 3 pm so I don't think there is happy hour here, but there is a good selection of liquor and wine. I will definitely go again.

Favorite pizza in Dallas by far. Recently took a trip to Italy and came back and truly believe this pizza is as good as any I got there. Great lasagna, salads, and meatballs as well.

More like 3.5 stars. The food itself was solid, albeit nothing special (maybe a 3.75). What really perturbed me was the bizarre secrecy regarding the restaurant's cleanliness. I have had experiences in the past where I was hospitalized because of a restaurant's low health score, so I called Olivella's to ascertain what their score was. The guy on the phone said "my manager refuses to let me tell you" and demanded to know why I cared. I care because 1) THEY ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO TELL ME, 2) I was hungry, and 3) I was in town for a conference so I couldn't risk hospitalization. It just seemed really sketchy to me. Why is the health score some big secret? Why were they so reluctant to tell me? WTF are they hiding?

Amazing environment, but the pizza was not good, let alone Neapolitan. The dough was uncooked and not fermented enough, chewy. A Neapolitan pizza is best when fermented for at least two days. The edge was not big and airy like Neapolitan pizzas. Disappointed because I would've loved for this place to be *my usual pizza place.*. The vibe is very charming and looks very European.

This is the best Neapolitan pizza I've ever had it's the best you will find down here in this part of town good luck to you I will be back again and again for some of the best pizza in TX Thank you Olivella's

Neighborhood favorite. Tasty pizza in a laid-back setting. Always a top choice that ticks all the boxes.

We usually go to the Lakewood location, but this is walking distance from my work. So I headed over for lunch. Chicken parm panini, ceaser salad and a pop. Can't wait to go back

This was such a charming place to have a date night on one of our first weekends living in Dallas! This location is quite small so don't expect to sprawl out here, instead, prepare for an intimate setting with impeccable service, enticing food and a serious wine menu! My husband and I sat at the bar and the experience was fantastic from beginning to end. Our server Carson gave some recommendations to suite our wine preferences and we went from there. We split a bunch of plates....Margherita pizza which was simple and perfect, lasagna with some of the best sauce I've tasted in awhile and the winner of the night, the black truffle pizza. Black truffle oil, mozzarella, speck, mushrooms and black pepper. Do NOT pass this up! I adored the thin crust and that it didn't have any sauce because it didn't need anything complicated. It's perfect the way it is and my husband who is team sauce loved it as well. We ended the night the proper way, with a piece of the tiramisu big enough for two (well, after all the food we had beforehand). The best part was that we had leftovers and got to experience Olivella's all over again!!

Popped in for a quick lunch while visiting Dallas this past weekend. We got the "Roman" style oval-shaped pizza and were able to split it 50/50 between two of their speciality pizzas and it was perfect. Nice vibe and friendly staff made it even better.

I started off with the pesto goat cheese foccacia bread. The texture of the bread was more like naan bread, which Im a big fan of, but this dish barely resembles a slice of foccacia bread in the traditional sense. Also the ingredients defintely feel like they were thrown on top, rather than integrated in any meticulous fashion. The goat cheese and pesto were quite pronounced and got the job done at least. When it arrived, I was taken back by how it looked more like a pizza flatbread than a traditional loaf of bread. This isnt a bad thing, but it definitely took me by surprise. Also, its basically the size of a pizza, but cut like a st louis style pizza (chekered style). If you are by yourself (or two dainty eaters) than this may be too much for you. I ordered the roman style half quattro staglioni (with alfredo sauce) and half snow white. texture wise I was satisfied by the crispness this pizza had. Had some crunch but far from tasting burnt. the ingredients are solid in its quality, although they certainly are not the best. I would have liked to have seen the veggies be a little more sauteed/charred but the texture of everything was at least consistent without feeling raw or undercooked. My friend wanted the Snow White, which I thought was OK, but could have been more creamy in its cheesy profile. It mostly comes off like a mild ricotta. One thing I like the most about this place is none of the pizzas or breads are overly sauced. Theres enough to where you can taste it, but it never compromises the texture of the bread or drowns out the other ingredients. The place is pretty small for what it is. Dont be surprised if there is a wait on a weekend night. I went during super bowl sunday, so it was basically a ghost town. Service is decent, although you may need to actively prompt the server for more water if you pound back your water like me.

Quality food, cool, eclectic, good location. Black truffle Neopoloitan and Roma was split half/half toppings from two pizza choices. Pizza is wood fired, good quality and exactly what you expect and hope for. Plenty of food for 3 guys. Shared bottle of wine from sufficient list. Service was quick, attentive and polite. A restuarant that makes you feel welcome, they care that you have chosen them. Definitely will go back and you should go too.

Even during the weekdays, this place gets packed at 7pm! When you first walk in, don't expect a host stand. Someone will greet you either by walking up or from behind the immediate bar. After that expect some kind of wait. We chose the bar since no one was sitting there and seating was available immediately. All this worked out because the person who waited on us was amazing! I always think of the three T's when trying out a new place: Taste, temperature and texture. Olivella's hit the target and then some. A basic margarita pizza, lasagna and even the truffle oil pistachio pizza was amazing! The atmosphere is perfect for a date night and the atmosphere was boisterous and energetic. Get ready to stuff your face. There is plenty of good times here that will leave you hungry for more!

I am amazed that they use soybean oil in their pizza crust and other food . If you want to be an authentic pizza place don't be cheap and use soybean oil in lieu of EVOO. So many other pizza restaurants will use better ingredients. Might as well order Pizza Hut. I won't be back.

Popped in with a group after walking around SMU. The service is absolutely amazing and the pizza absolutely hit the spot. My family is very particular about Italian food but Olivella's knocked it out of the park

Real tomato sauce and thin pizza, perfect. I did not having a feeling of being full or stuffed.

Guys and Gals... This is my new favorite pizza place. I have been trained to make it the right way by Italian chefs. I haven't had it this good in years. I had the Dream pizza with a chilled rose that was excellently paired by their restaurant manager Baylee. She new exactly what I was looking for with just a few questions about what kind of flavor I wanted. This is the new standard for me and hopefully you! If you are on the fence, give this place a try!
