Overrated and pricey! – Way overrated. Crust had charred areas. It was like crunching on charcoal, and also very pricey. I can find better elsewhere.

Good Neopolitan Pizza – Every time I visit my parents in Dallas from NYC we go to Olivella's. It's one of the few places that really reminds me of the quality and authentic atmosphere one regularly enjoys in New York and various European cities.

This is such a bad Mom & Pop operation.

Their pizzas are very rustic so they don't travel well. They are best eaten there. The staff is young and the quality of the service is ei... read more

Named after a famed New York pizza family, this pizzeria near SMU specializes in Neopolitan style thin crusts and antipasti. – In Short This way-too-tiny pizza joint may be a tad bigger than the wood fired pizza oven it houses. With just eight tables and a short counter space, there isn't much elbow room between diners. Pizzas arrive on tall stand to bunk on top of a second dish like cheese and meat antipasti or Caprese salad. Signature pizza, San Daniele is topped with imported prosciutto and arugula. Despite long waits, yo... read more
