Andolini’s Sliced - Downtown Tulsa

You may or may not have heard of Andolini’s with the Tulsa, Owasso, Jenks, and Broken Arrow locations, but did you know that STG Pizzeria was part of the Andolini’s family as well. Well, they have rebranded STG into Andolini’s Sliced featuring pizza by the slice all day. You can still get whole pies, but they feature different pizzas and the styles every day. These styles include: Andolini’s style 20in circular pies cut Into 8 slices, Roman Square Slice 12x17  Tray (8 Slices) NYC STYLE 20in circular pies cut into 8 slices, Brooklyn style circular pies cut into 8 slices, and Tulsa style, what they describe as “west coast freshness meets east coast process.” 

I went in with some colleagues and it is small but still a fun atmosphere. Very friendly staff and great service went along with out fantastic food. We ordered the garlic knots which are always a hit. I went with the NYC style cheese and the Tulsa style Vesuvio, which is smoked mozzarella, chicken breast, and Red Rock salt. Both were great. 

They still have the gelato, however I was too full after my meal, but I’ve had their gelato before and it is my favorite in Tulsa. They have a great Facebook presence and also website www.andopizza.com. Swing by 114 S Detroit Ave in downtown and they open at 11am each day. Great place for a casual date and rates out at $$-$$$.

Dilly Diner - Tulsa

Located in the Blue Dome District 402 E 2nd St in Tulsa is a quaint, but hip diner that serves breakfast all day. They were once called the Dilly Deli but rebranded and is now a diner. 

They offer housemade breads, pastries, and desserts that are mouthwatering. The brunch is quite tasty as I have been previously and enjoyed the crab cakes. Today I enjoyed the pastrami sandwich which included Fassler Hall(a local German themed pub) mustard which was incredible on this sandwich and housemade bread. My friend enjoyed the Dilly Burger which is a double meat and cheese burger with their own special sauce. Both came with an ample amount of shoestring fries. 

I will be going back and having breakfast and pastries soon. This is a nice place for brunch or to bring a significant other to enjoy a nice meal. It rates out at $$-$$$ and like I said, somewhere I will visit again. The do have a Facebook and website www.dillydiner.com

El Tapatio - Nowata

So in the small town of Nowata in NE Oklahoma, there’s a brightly colored building that is now a Mexican restaurant. Quite a change from a building that was a local favorite “greasy spoon.” El Tapatio is the typical Mexican joint but is still pretty good.

The salsa has a little more kick than most places and the queso is very good. My wife had the #33 which was a taco, a tamale, rice, and beans. I had the Arandas special which is rice, cheese, bacon, and chicken served with tortillas. I’ll be getting it again for sure. We’ve been numerous times and are always happy with our visit. 

It’s quiet enough for conversation but they also have a bar area and TVs if you are wanting to hang. It rates out at $-$$ and is worth a visit when you come through. They have a Facebook page and there is also another one in Okmulgee.

Sam and Ella’s in Tahlequah

Most college towns have a really great pizza place and Tahlequah is no exception. Northeastern State University has Sam and Ella’s Chicken Palace which is actually a pizza place. Yes say Sam and Ella fast and it sounds like salmonella. 

Sam and Ella’s help lead to my freshman 50 and beyond. They have a fantastic menu with a great hand tossed crust that is out of this world. The arti(choke) toast is a fantastic appetizer. The cheese sticks are on a different level too.

They are open 10-10 everyday at 419 N Muskogee Ave and have a good Facebook presence. You can create your own or can choose from one of their favorites like the Rock Island Red or the Dominquer(uses ranch dressing as a base.) I’ve been many times and there isn’t anything I don’t like. Be patient as sometimes they get busy and it can be a little crazy from a service standpoint. 

It rates at $$-$$$ and is worth the trip to Cherokee County for!
