This just in on the pizza front: Olivella's owner Charlie Green says he's opening a second location in Victory Park in September or October. The restaurant will keep its "tastefully European" look, according to Green, but with 3,800 square feet of space instead of the tiny, Manhattan-esque first spot near SMU. There'll be a lounge in the front with designated areas for ordering pizza-by-the-meter on game nights (their version of grabbing a slice) and for picking up take-out. This location will also offer delivery. Green has also decided to rotate Roman-style pizza, which has a thinner, more crackery crust, into the mix. He's hired a "Roman chef in New York" (he won't reveal his name yet) to act as a consultant. Otherwise, the menu will be largely the same, though with more space comes more focus on panini and pastas, as well as a few more topping options for the pizza. Best of all? Green says he's getting a cheese maker to show his staff how to whip up burrata. More on burrata Monday when I report on my pizza extravaganza at Pizzeria Mozza in LA ... |

Hey, I'm having a roasted beet and burrata cheese salad for dinner. What a coincidence.
