Can't say enough fabulous things to about our favorite Gem of a Cafe called Olivella! Another phenomenal experience! Tuesday night is 1/2 price bottles of wine and we so enjoyed a bottle of wine called the Bodyguard, by Dauo. Where we have eaten the meatballs on a pizza, we had never experienced them as an appetizer...but tonight we did, what a Yum!!! We also ordered 2 pizzas cause we adore leftovers. We have found a new pizza, that tickled our tastebuds, it's called the "Carmen!" You take the pizza the "Dream," minus the red sauce & chicken, add sausage, tuffle oil, pesto & mushrooms= Euphoria!!!! The pizza crust is so tasty too. And once again we had an another charming server, I wish Yelp would let me name/recognize her. Whatever the management is doing to hire such friendly, knowledgeable employees, they need to share the formula with other restaurants. Date Night at Olivella's is ALWAYS a Win! oxo read more

What I can truly RESPECT and appreciate is when leadership/management takes time to review feedback. Olivella's Pizza and Wine cares about their BRAND! They care about YOUR experience! I was able to address my concerns and give constructive criticism. This made me want to give them another chance. My 2nd visit was so much BETTER! I was happy that I gave it another shot. My first pizza experience didn't go as planned. My pizzas were missing ingredients and some of the toppings were skimpy. It might have been an off night. This was not the case this time around and I felt the pizzas were made with love! My White Truffle pizza had all the toppings. The sun dried tomatoes definitely made a difference. It enhanced the pizza and I enjoyed it so much more. The pancetta pizza was really good. I think this became my favorite. The Neapolitan crust is perfectly thin and crispy. The pepperoni pizza was full of pepperoni! Regina Margherita pizza with the basil was tasty. The basil is the star! The meatballs are good too. Cheese and saucy with a yummy sauce. My glass of Prosecco was AMAZING! Conner was a pleasant waiter and provided great service. I felt like I was back in Italy on this visit. The restaurant was packed and everyone was enjoying themselves. So thanks to the great leadership, management and staff. My expectations were met! I left feeling good, optimistic and satisfied. Cheers to a wonderful ambiance, enjoying my food and good service. read more

Best pizza in Dallas. True Neopolitan style pizza baked in an authentic Italian oven, and the portions are decent for the price

I went here for a date night and the pizza was amazing as well as the price tag for all the pizza you get! Will be coming again.

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. read more

Olivella's Pizza And Wine - Black truffle/drunken pig Roman style pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Drove a long way to try this highly acclaimed pizza. It was just "okay." I got the Roman crust, which the waiter pitched as "thin and crispy." It was thin but, disappointingly, not crispy. The Ceasar salad was good but not extraordinary. Still looking for that go-to pizza joint in the DFW area! read more

A small but friendly crowd. Several dinning areas one outside. Nice neighborhood find. Service was good waiter had several tables. But he worked hard to give nice experience. Pizza was very good. Had pepperoni artichoke mushroom. Easily in top 10 in our city. Good list of wines at a fair price. We will return soon. read more

We got take out from Olivella's and thought the food was spectacular. When walking in, the atmosphere seemed inviting and great for a weekday or with families. We got the drunken pig pizza which was phenomenal as well as the pizza rolls which were also extremely well made and a good value for the price. We got a caesar salad which was just ok and I probably wouldn't get it again. Overall, Olivella's made a great impression and I would definitely come back. read more

Olivella's is a go-to for date nights in my house and we decided to try out their weekend brunch. It was my first time trying their Roman style pizza and I loved it. The pesto pasta was also sensational! However, the nutella french toast (weekend brunch menu only) was honestly disappointing. The toast overall lacked flavor and texture was off. Overall still a great meal and we will be back :) read more

A slice of "The Big Apple" in "Big D"? Fuhgeddaboudit! This is one of those secret spots in the neighborhood that seems straight out of a different dimension. If someone had told me that an authentic Italian by way of New York hole-in-the-wall (I mean that in the most charming way possible) eatery was hiding around the corner of SMU, I would have had a hard time believing them. But alas, here it is! The pizza is phenomenal, the pastas are impeccable, and even the bread alone is worth a visit. The atmosphere and attention to detail are wonderfully genuine; I had a hard time processing that I was still in Texas. Olivella's charm and delicious fare will have you saying, "I'm walking here!" on your way to this wonderful dining experience. read more

Came around 4pm on a Sunday and we were seated right away. The Drunken Pig barely had any sauce on it - I enjoyed it more after ordering a side of ranch. The margarita pizza was very saucy, though. The tiramisu was decent; definitely stronger on the chocolate notes than the coffee if that's what you're looking for. The inside is cozy and quaint. read more

Really good, tasty pizza and salads. We got take-out, but the service and staff are always pleasant and helpful.

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. read more

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. read more

The meatballs were amazing! We had the Roman style pizza, Half White and half Dela Carne Pizza. The crust was so thin and crispy! We had two Mimosas and finished it off with the homemade Tiramisu for desert! We'll definitely be back! Service was excellent read more

Perfectly tucked away in the corner of a plaza surrounded by a beautiful neighborhood. The service from hostess to manager were all great and friendly. The food was PHENOMENAL, truly the best pizza in Texas. Will definitely be coming back lots and lots of times and can't wait to check out their other locations!! read more

Great vibe. Meatballs were good. My wife's pasta dish had chicken that was hard as a rock but the taste of the dish and everything else was good. Just doesn't take that long to cook a chicken breast fresh. If not for that would have been a five star. read more

After a long drive, I was running on fumes and craving something comforting--and Olivella's gnocchi came through like a warm hug in a bowl. I got the Ganacci, and wow... it was fire. Soft, pillowy gnocchi (the potato kind, not your average pasta), perfectly coated in a rich, flavorful sauce that hit every note just right. This dish seriously hit the spot. Cozy, satisfying, and full of flavor without being too heavy. Service was solid, and the atmosphere had that low-key, chill Italian charm. If you're anywhere near this place and debating what to get--go for the gnocchi. You won't regret it. read more

Such amazing food! And Brayden the server was top notch. Atmosphere is what I dream of when I day dream about a small, quaint Italian joint. Highly recommend. read more

I had never been to this restaurant before in my entire life, I came in with very high expectations, because of prior conversations with peers about this specific establishment. I can say with my chest this has had to be the best dining experience of my entire life, good food, good ambiance, and out of everything, I don't think my experience would've been half as good if it wasn't for my amazing waiter, Josephine. She really was great, always made sure I was checked on, making sure I was shown a tremendous amount of hospitality. Definitely would recommend, will for sure be coming back. read more

Pizza is sooooooo good! It is nice quality pIzzy and their Roman and Neapolitan pizza styles are the best!!! read more

We've frequented Olivella's for years, and I can honestly say we've never had a bad meal. Carry-out service is excellent, too, and this occasion was no different. I called in our custom order, was told it would be ready for pickup in twenty minutes, and it was ready when I got there, complete with the extra arugula in a separate container, so it wouldn't wilt on the hot pizza on the way home! read more

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! read more

Great service and ambiance on the patio! Would highly recommend and will definitely return! Thank you

Our waitress Leslie was so bright and delightful. The black truffle pizza was the best thing! The restaurant was crowded but they quickly found us a table for two and it was perfect. ! Recommend a 1000 times read more

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. read more

Great pies. The Margherita was exceptional. Service was efficient and friendly. Well done.

Chris was very sweet and very knowledgeable about different wine pairings. He provided me with the best dining experience. Also love that there is a discount for wine to go!! Would definitely be coming back when he is there!!! read more

Butch and Mia were super friendly and welcoming! It was our first time here and the black truffle pizza was our favorite! Will definitely be back! read more

The staff was excellent. The sauce on the lasagna was very good. The lasagna lacked some meat and cheese, but was still consumed. This pizza is not heavy on the sauce, which I appreciate, my husband does not. The crust is also cracker thin. I liked it and will be back. read more

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. read more

the bald short guy with glasses actually horrible. I believe a manager, but he is so incredibly rude and has made me feel so unwelcomed. He put his finger in my face and it was genuinely the most disrespectful experience I've ever had with anyone. I really hope all olivellas can do well and fix this because I gave them so much business. read more

The service and pizza were exceptional. I plan to return in the near future and will highly recommend this establishment.

Excellent service and great looking pizzas in Roman (thin crusted rectangular) or Neapolitan (medium crusted round) styles. Popular neighborhood hangout so call ahead to be added to the waiting list. read more

What a great experience! Josephine was our server tonight and she was fabulous! She was always present when we needed her. She answered all of our questions with knowledge and her serving skills are perfect. Thank you , Josephine! We got 3 Ceasar salads and two round pizzas-one pepperoni and one "Jenny". Ask your server about the "Jenny". It's delicious. Complex flavors with no red sauce. You'll love it. Go to SMU Olivellas and ask to be served by Josephine. You won't be sorry! read more

the food was amazing, the waitress was very friendly and nice, really helped us decide and we really liked sitting outside with the natural breeze, ten out of ten, if i could leave more than 5 stars i would. read more

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! read more

Great pizza, warm and cozy ambience, friendly and efficient service! We love Olivella's and have been frequenting this wonderful neighborhood restaurant for over 25 years! read more

Rude! Slow! Asked if I was DoorDash after I told them I ordered a pizza. Ordered at 1:05 and paid online. Pick up was at 1:27. Arrived at 1:27 for them to tell the cooks and they started it late since it wasn't ready until 1:38. read more
