Olivella’s

Everyone knows Olivella’s for their pizza. The Dallas-based franchise has been serving up Neapolitan and Roman-style pies since 2006. Since then, it has branched out from its original location across from Southern Methodist University. Its newest locale offers something a bit different, though.

For their new Deep Ellum spot, a pivot was in order. Here they cater to the lunch crowd.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, guests will find a spacious interior with a full-service horseshoe bar in the middle of the restaurant. The menu is straightforward and focuses heavily on sandwich options. Make no mistake, you can still get pizza and pasta at this Olivella’s, but hoagies and paninis are the stars of the show here.

All the sandwiches are around $10, which is an extremely approachable price point considering the rising cost of nearly everything. There are eight hoagies to choose from and 11 panini options. Many of the sandwiches are familiar – the Italian Club, Meatball and Chicken Parm – while others, like The Don and the Pinocchio, are loaded.
