Cicis Pizza
$ | (918) 438-4242 | WEBSITE
Picture yourself in a spacious booth with your kids, grabbing another slice of that gluten-free crustless pizza they can’t get enough of while they’re begging for just one more game token. If that sounds like your kind of family outing, know that this pizza spot has a separate game room that keeps the fun contained while you enjoy the buffet in peace.

It’s the kind of place where the staff will happily customize a pizza for you, and the salad area stays clean and inviting.

Overall, it’s a solid choice for families wanting a comfortable, enjoyable meal without any fuss.
Mother Road Market
$ | (918) 984-9009 | WEBSITE
Mother Road Market has the advantage of a large indoor space, a heaping variety of food stalls, and a permit to use their back patio for outdoor seating. Stop by this family-friendly spot for some ramen and ice cream on a day when the city feels especially like a welcome escape. And if you’re looking for Korean bimbimbap and coffee, Mother Road Market also has lunch service available every day with vendors open from morning until evening.
Empire Slice Shop – Meadow Gold
$ | (918) 392-7959 | WEBSITE
Empire Slice Shop is another spot with the occasional rock and roll vibe. This Meadow Gold location is offering quick slices every day from opening to closing. The menu here skews mostly Brooklyn-style, with options like the Uncle Buck slice, spinach salad, and a marinara sauce you may or may not get enough of on your pizza. The staff is super friendly, providing prompt service with very short wait times. The atmosphere is sleek and modern inside, with everything clean and a unique decor.
While there isn’t a lot of parking on site, online ordering and pickup are convenient and easy. However, some customers have mentioned that the sign is sometimes off, making it look closed when it is actually open.
Tortoise Pizza
$ | WEBSITE
Even if you’ve eaten pizza every Friday for years, Tortoise Pizza will still make it feel like a special occasion. Partly because it’s the sort of place that takes its ingredients really seriously (the family uses a sourdough base that gives the crust a light, crispy texture). The menu here consists of gourmet pies like the white pie and jalapeno pepperoni with a rich, fresh sauce that customers love.
Tortoise is perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying solo as a hungry beer drinker, and you can stop by for a slice or a whole pie here.
NYC Pizza
$ | (918) 779-7760 | WEBSITE
NYC Pizza’s counter is open every day on its Tulsa corner, and they have a bunch of big slices ready in case you’re starving or it’s so busy that you wish you’d ordered ahead. In addition to their classic New York style pies and fresh dough, this spot is also serving new pies that are a twist on empanadas, with slices less than $7 and large enough to satisfy any hunger.
Pizza Hut
$ | (918) 442-1488 | WEBSITE
Pizza Hut’s dining room stays open until midnight every day. Come when you can’t decide whether you want a classic pepperoni pizza or a meat lover’s special – Pizza Hut serves both (as well as a mix of other traditional and specialty pies). And, if you’re really being strategic, try to show up during their lunch specials for the best value.
Umberto’s
$ | (918) 712-1999 | WEBSITE
Umberto’s pizza is made with a New York style crust that makes other pizza crusts taste like cardboard. This NY-inspired spot with its 14 tables and self-service drink area also serves a Supreme pizza we’d like to take home for leftovers any night.
Hungry Howie’s Pizza
$ | (918) 523-0000 | WEBSITE
When you go to Hungry Howie’s, the oven-baked sub is mandatory – but the Howie Special pizza is also decent, and you should get a veggie pizza with whatever you order. This convenient order-to-go location has customizable toppings available as well as a straightforward setup in their storefront equipped with basic signage and all.
D’oro Pizza
$ | (918) 627-6434 | WEBSITE
This Tulsa pizza institution is only offering a limited number of tables for walk-ins. So if you want to savor the Supreme or BBQ Chicken pizza at a cozy booth in their dining area, you should plan ahead and call for a reservation. Also worth mentioning, D’oro Pizza has plenty of vegetarian options on their menu.
Empire Slice House – Downtown Tulsa
$ | (918) 551-6669 | WEBSITE
This pizza spot in downtown Tulsa set up a few two-person tables on their outdoor patio. There’s some incredible wallpaper lining the indoor space, but as soon as your NY style slice and primo meatballs arrive, those will become a lot less interesting.
