I just commented on the fried chicken thread and thought I'd do everyone a big favor. I've moved around my whole career in the aerospace industry. I have never found pizza anywhere to be as good as what I grew up with in the midwest. Well now that I've settled down here my dreams have come true. I went to Donatos for lunch yesterday and it made me very happy. I'm told more are coming to OKC and Tulsa. Try it. You'll like it.
Donates Founders Favorite on thin crust!!! Always gotta get one when I go visit my parents.
I've been a huge fan of Hideaway for years. We always stop at the one in Conway Arkansas when we drive back to Oklahoma.
Hideaways fried mushrooms are awesome. I wish we had a true deep dish Chicago style pizza place here.
There's a detroit style place in edmond, woodward pizza. I've eaten there twice, its damn good, and I am not even a fan of thick crust pizza. Its also probably the best leftover pizza I have ever eaten, almost better than fresh. Its not chicago, but its different from all the regular pizza joints around the city.
Last time I was there I spoke with the owner for almost an hour. He's worked in pizza his entire life, and the sauce and dough are his personal recipes that he spent over a year (I think he said that) developing. I think the dough is a tiny bit bland, but its still really good. He is passionate about that stuff too, he talks about having to train people how to pinch sausage in a certain way for the pizza.
You know the original Hideaway is in Stillwater. I love their fried mushrooms!
If you are ever in Tulsa try Savastano's. We really like their Chicago style pizza. Don't know how authentic it is, but it is very good.

I'm from Chicago....please note, there is no real pizza in Oklahoma....so sad.
Donatos tasted like arcade pizza to me… reviews aren’t great either, but clearly some like it. Ymmv.
Woodward is great pizza for deep dish! Pricey though. Empire is good too, pretty close to NY style, but a little more quality than NY, and I say that with love. There’s a joint on North May, don’t recall the name, that uses a water filtration system to replicate NY water for their crust. It does taste a lot like NY pizza, but I think they over did it a little. Nothing is as good as the real thing, but it’s all pretty close.
