Pizza Den

Reviewed By Lisa N

One of the several places I must stop at during my visits back home!! I have been going to Pizza Den for many many years, since it was on University Avenue! I miss Pizza Bob so much. They by far have the best oven baked sandwiches in town. The Muffaletta is to die for!! The Stromboli and Spaghetti are excellent, never ever had anything bad from this place.

Finally.... Oxford is blessed with a new lavish and chic establishment where one can unwind. The wine selection is top of the line and the staff is quite prolific of each bottle's flavor to meet your taste. I love the bar and the stools are something out of a retro 1930s boutique hotel bar. It definitely has a classic touch that is needed on The Square. The Latin meatballs and Deviled eggs are phenomenal (two of my favorites). I highly recommend The Sipp and everything it has to offer to anyone in the Oxford area. I will return. Keep up the good work!!Thank you so much for your kind words!! We're so glad you got to taste some of our favorites from the kitchen while enjoying our wine selection at the same time! We look forward to seeing you again soon!!!Cheers!!

Saint Leo has been open for about two weeks and people are flocking to it. No reservations but they will text you when your table is ready. We had a 30 minute wait, which was not bad. Saint Leo imported a wood fired oven from Italy which they use primarily for pizza baking. We shared a large Simple Green Salad. I ordered Littleneck Clams and my wife ordered Eggplant and Cherry Tomato Pizza. The pizzas are 11 inch and are cut into four pieces. The finale was a shared Crostada, which is a dessert pizza with an dollop of vanilla ice cream. Service was excellent. The space is beautiful, with great lighting fixtures and effects. Simple decor with antique pizza peels [large spatulas].

Track 61

Reviewed By MeetUsAtTheCorner

The folks from Volta are behind this new place in the Midtown Shopping Center, offering yet another dining option along with Jinsu and a couple of Currence's places. The menu options certainly vary with pasta, seafood. We tried the basic spaghetti and meatballs (plenty to take home, and still good reheated), the salmon dish (nicely cooked with a neat bed underneath and the chicken parmesan sandwich (gigantic). There's a neat dining area out front, a big private dining area and a getting-popular bar. You might want to make a reservation if it's prime dinner time; it's attracting more and more folks. They changed the menu a bit lately with no more hummus appetizer, and it would be good to see some parmesan cheese on the table but those are just small things that matter to just a few. Overall, it's a great addition to the Oxford dining scene and you don't have to pay for parking!

Incredible food. Locally sourced. Relaxed atmosphere. Most of their business seems to be to-go orders, but you can dine in at their new location on Jackson Ave (behind Kiaimi's liquor store which is convenient if you want to BYOB). Table service is somewhat limited, but the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning. This will likely become our one of our new favorite spots in Oxford.

Oxford was our stopover on a drive from Chicago to New Orleans. We parked across the street from the restaurant and decided to give it a try. Staff was welcoming and helpful. We ordered a build-your-own pizza. Well made thin crust with fresh ingredients. Our leftovers tasted just as good the next day. Will return again.

We brought 6 teenagers to Ole Miss for a college visit, and after much debate we selected Soulshine Pizza over the Ajax Diner for lunch. I'm sure we would've enjoyed the other too, but... the everybody absolutely loved the pizza at Soulshine. It was a win. This was a great choice for a good sized group (8 total people) on a college visit. It's also within walking distance of the charming downtown shopping options. Love this place and will definitely be back.Hey LtColRiley, This review is a WIN! We're glad y'all stopped in on your college visit. Oxford is great and there so much to do. We're glad you decided to stop in and dine with us. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this great review. We'd love to have you back anytime you're in the neighborhood. Come back soon!-Joey

Interesting, delicious cocktails that change seasonally. The pizza is to die for and the service beats all. The chopped salad, grilled bread, and marinated olives are not to be missed. Interior design is beautiful, especially the amazing light in the women's washroom.
