Olivella’s Pizza and Wine is an eclectic Italian restaurant located just off of Camp Bowie in the historic Cultural District of Fort Worth also known as the Bricks neighborhood. Easy to miss in its unassuming strip mall location, this little restaurant was named Best Pizza in Texas by USA Today, the Best Pizza in Fort Worth by the Star Telegram, “The most incredible pizza you’ll ever eat” by Rachael Ray and voted the Best Pizza in Dallas by the Observer. Come for their brick oven baked bread, in house made Burrata and Mozzarella cheeses and their two styles of pizza: Pizza Napoletana and Pizza Romana. They also offer Happy Hour, daily specials, catering and private dining. Serving up salads, antipasti, classic pasta dishes, paninis, pizzas, sides and desserts, the back of the menu is reserved for beverages and an extensive wine list available by both the glass or bottle.
Our order: My aunt ordered the Primavera Salad with mixed greens, goat cheese, apple slices, cranberries and a coconut balsamic dressing that I would order by the gallon of it were an option! We split a large Snow White pizza with mozzarella, ricotta, oregano, garlic and olive oil. I couldn’t quit dipping it in the Coconut dressing! My half of the pizza also arrived with truffle oil which I highly recommend! It was so delicious that I’ve thought about the pizza since I left and highly recommend!
Pros: To my surprise, there were very few people there when we went for lunch which made for great service! The front of the restaurant looks like an old wine cellar with brick walls and ceiling tiles. Bistro tables, greenery and combination booth/chair tables are the seating options. A beautiful bar top is available for anyone who prefers to eat at the bar.
Pros: This restaurant is located in a strip mall set up, so the parking it literally off of Camp Bowie. Amazing service was reinforced when I took my husband back 2 weeks later and the manager handed him a free business card with a complimentary Meatball appetizer for his next visit. Awesome place!
