I was on my way to work this morning and I noticed a Coming Soon sign for Hideaway in front of the former Chili's between MacArthur and Meridian. This is by the strip mall that formerly housed Service Merchandise and is almost completely empty except for Hemispheres in the back.

Very nice!

nice scoop jbrown...Right down the road from where I work

Yeah always great to see the local places expanding. Hopefully this can help revive that shopping center, but I think it's ultimately going to take a good anchor in that Service Merchandise space. I think Harold's had a temporary closeout there, but they need something permanent like a Barnes and Noble or something like that.

Hey jbrown...Since you are tight w/ hideaway...Could you please mention to them that there is actually a southside of OKC...Not sure if they knew that or not

Appreciate it :tiphat:

uhhh, I have nothing to do with Hideaway...

Southside? Didn't know there was such a place.

Was just kidding ya jbrown....Now Patrick they could open one in the southside and have it only open for lunch...Know how scary it is down here for you north dudes after dark :sofa:

Don't be silly. Why would we come down there when we have 3 or four of them up here? ;)

Southside? Didn't know there was such a place.
I was thinking the same thing.

That's cool...I will boycott all northside restaurants in protest

Except for the ones on Memorial, NW Expressway and N Western and Hefner...Oh and Shogun on N May...And Pei Wei on

Crap...Protest is over

Hey, you southsiders do have a Fudruckers that we don't have.

I thought that never materialized.

Don't think we have one...Best I can come up with is our Ted's is in a nicer newer building

Got to be something better than that...........

Hideaway = worst pizza ever

Are you drunk? LOL!

Hideaway = worst pizza ever

Can I dare ask what you consider the best pizza ever then?

Hideaway = worst pizza ever
worst opinion ever

like anyone could even know that...

-M

Yea, this is good news! Thanks for the info jbrown!

:Lies:

Little Caesars of course. Duh! Who can beat 5 bucks Hot and Ready?

I cannot say I was all that impressed with Hideaway. The pizza was good but not anything to get excited about. To me eating at Hideaway is more of a yuppy status symbol then anything else.

It is just like drinking a cup of coffee at Starbucks. People go there because it is a hip trendy place to go.

Pizza Hut has the best pizza in the city in my opinion.

Pizza Hut is good for delivery I'll grant you that but does it have Pizza of the Gods? I don't think so.

I'll give Hideaway one thing....I do think it's overpriced.

I thought that never materialized.

You know, you're right. I guess Fudruckers discovered the spirit of the south side and opted out of the deal.

Pizza Hut has the best pizza in the city in my opinion.

OMG hold on I have to clean up this barf I got all over myself. :Smiley275


Even throwing out all but the fast food pizza chains, Pizza Hut is among the worst.

Give me Mazzio's, Papa Johns, Pizza Inn, or even Little Ceasar's over that tasteless, sauceless crap.

YEA!!!! I'll be about 1/2 way between the one on Western and this one. TWO choices for my Paradise Pie fetish!!

The only good Hideaway Pizza is at the original. It is confirmed they cook the pies differently at the franshised locations than they do at the original.

The last time I went to the one on Western is the last time I'll ever visit a non-original Hideaway. The crust was all doughy and thick; the pie was overrunning with bad pizza sauce and the cheese did not taste fresh.

It was crafted like a Papa John's pizza. If you've ever had good pizza -- like you find in NYC or virtually any other big city -- you wouldn't be praising the tripe that is Hideaway.

One word....... Falcone's

I will soon put it to the test wildman...I will be impressed if it is better than Hideaway

Hope it is!

it is without a doubt

gee, i wonder if you'd be a bit biased towards falcone's, wildman! ; )

i like the pizza at falcone's and the pizza at hideaway... they're just two very different ways of doing the same thing. to me, they're both good pizza. i'm gonna have to swing by the new bricktown location soon... if not today! -M

Falcone's and Hideaway are equally good, but they are completely different. I am partial to NY style pizza with the big slices and thin style crust so I lean towards Falcones.

Also the meatball sub along with the tomato basil at Falcones is as good as it gets.

Falcone's and Pizzeria Uno are both better than hideaway

And both are completely different kinds of pizza from Hideaway.

Another Northwest Highway update:


FYE (For Your Entertainment), which vacated Penn Square (and the market as far as I'm aware) has opened in the former Wherehouse Music next to City Bites at Wilshire and NW Highway. Glad to see they haven't abandoned OKC. I like FYE because they have the scanners that allow you to listen to samples of any CD.

I have not had Falcone's so for now it is Hideaway for eat-in and Papa Murphy's for take home. Both delicious!!

Hideaway's pizza is pretty good... but even better is The Wedge Pizzeria on Western (owned by the Deep Fork Group). I really think you get what you pay for there --- it is a little more than Hideaway, you'll pay $13-15 for a 12-inch pizza. In fact, I'm going there tonight!

Back to Topic: The Hideaway is coming along mega slow. I haven't even noticed any progress yet.

As far as Immortal said, Papa Murphy's take out is the best pizza around..........mmmmmm....if you get one, try it with the creamy garlic sauce...

Where is there a Papa Murphy's around here? Is that the place where you take it home and bake yourself?

Papa Murphys is located SW 119th and Western Ave. , east of western on 119th.

Yes it is the take home and bake pizza place. I haven't been there myself , but I have heard it is very good. You pick your toppings , crust , and sauces.

Take and Bake, or you can freeze it and bake it later.

ahhh....no wonder I hadn't seen it - I don't get to the south side that much! But maybe someday I will have to venture out and try it. Thanks for the info!

We should see some progress in the near future. I noticed the sale had finally closed this past week because it was listed in the Oklahoman. Football season is big for pizza sales. I would hope their goal is to be open by September.

The old chili's location will only need a coat of paint and some minor cosmetic work. After that it is just a matter of moving in the kitchen equipment.

Actually the first one in the metro was on Danforth and I think that's Kelly? It's in that same shopping center as the SuperWalmart in Edmond. Yes, Papa Murphy's is the place where they make it and you take it home and bake it. Think Subway only for pizza. They place all the ingredients and toss the dough right there in front of you. They are very cheap for the amount you get. Normally I can eat a whole large thin crust pizza from Papa Johns by myself (and I'm a skinny white guy). At Papa Murphy's, two slices and I'm done. The slices are generous, the crust is huge and can be stuffed with cheese. I prefer the creamy garlic sauce although they have several different types of sauces. All the varieties I've tried have been excellent, better than Falcones I'd say. I also was talking to the manager and he said they were opening another location up soon on NW Expressway.

Look for it to open in Oct.-Nov. area, per my digging.

I will have to agree with you on the Oct-Nov time frame.

I looked over at the building while I was in traffic on NW Hwy today. The sun was shining in just right and it looks like they have the dining area is completely gutted wall to wall. Nothing but support poles and bare walls.

This place still hasn't seen a lick of progress from what I can tell. SuperScooper, the dining area was completely gutted from wall to wall after Chili's moved out. I'm guessing the leasing company or Chili's did this when they moved out along time ago. It wasn't gutted out anytime while Hideaway had leased it. I haven't seen any cars in the parking lot or anything and I drive by at least twice a week. Not sure if this one is still a go or going to be on target.

Papa Murphy's is also located in Edmond as stated above. Also, there is about to be a new store on Penn and Britton(2 months time or so) and there is one in Owasso and Broken Arrow in the Tulsa area. There will most likely be a second store in Edmond within the next year. I have heard some interesting details on how the new store could end up being quite unique, but my lips are shut for now. Either way if you have never had Papa Murphy's now is a great time to try it as a 14" Pepperoni is $6.99. But all the same, Hideaway wins for eat in.

I drove by today and noticed that all of the windows are gone and the entire place is gutted. I have not driven by in about a week so I assume that this work is fairly recent.

Yeah they did that last week. Completely gutted on the inside for sure. They didn't keep anything but the shell.

Here is a link to some photo's of the renovation going on at the Hideaway Pizza on Western.

They're supposedly going to reopen on Friday.

Hard to see what the final thing might look like. I'll be there soon enough. That's my favorite in the OKC area.

I'm an employee there and am happy to see the changes. It's been quite the process. Pretty amazing to see a project that big happen in ten days. The finishing touches will come tonight and it will reopen tommorow. The layout will be somewhat similar...but *everything* looks different. I'll be going back there to help out for most of the night, and then work the split shift tommorow. Hope its busy, cause I gotta make up for the time we've been closed. They're having drawings for U2 tickets and free pizza for a year, through Saturday. Everyone come check it out soon!

Anybody remember Shipley's BBQ at N.W. 63rd & Western?

Nope, but I remember the Rocket Grocery!

The changes are good, the pizza is still awesome. Went Thursday.

I know. I recently had pizza supreme from a Hideaway recently. It was quite good.
