We have talked about it in the general Bricktown thread, but it deserves it's own.

Heard really good things about it.

It's decent. They need to work on their patio to make the place more inviting, but my wife and I have gone twice and like it. They deliver also, in case DD residents are wondering.

It's just nice to have a by-the-slice option in BT (and I like this location better than the Noodles/Falcones/Fuego/Fuzzy's location). Also nice to have a late night option. I've eaten here MANY times now. I will acknowledge that sometimes the pizza sucks when it's been sitting there awhile, so now I always ask how fresh the by-the-slice pizza is and they offer to make a new one if it's not very fresh. It's become enough of a routine, where after I "pick up" (more like escort, since I'm on foot) my daughter from work (she works for the Redhawks) we get her a slice of pizza at Knucks, and they recognize us.

A few notes on this place:

• Owned by a local couple (who also own In The Raw)
• All crusts are made using OKC-based COOP Aleworks' Native Amber in the process
• They have an excellent beer selection
• Wings are killer
• Pies are on par with Empire. Definitely among the best in OKC
• $5 slice/drink lunch deal
• They accept KeepItLocalOK cards for a discount/deal
• Kids love writing with chalk on the blackboard walls... ..and everything else
• So do adults
• They really don't HAVE a patio, so not sure what they can do there. They are on a narrow canal sidewalk. They DO have umbrellas, seating, wine casks for tables outside
• Captain Norm's dockside (immediately downstairs) is tied to their ordering system, and Knucks delivers to the tables there, so that is really the best "patio" solution, provided you are 21+
• They don't think twice about throwing a new pie in if the slices in the rack have been there a while. Just ask.
• Lots of pretty daring pizza styles, including a BBQ pulled pork topped with cole slaw and drizzled with BBQ sauce. DAMN.
• GREAT local addition to Bricktown. Glad they're down here.

I probably overreached when I said patio. I'll have to try their wings. Thanks for the details, it really is a cool place.

I've had them a couple times. I really enjoyed it both times.

Dog-friendly on the "patio", or whatever you want to call it. We didn't know at the time that you could just order at Captain Norm's. Mini-review here:

"•Lots of pretty daring pizza styles, including a BBQ pulled pork topped with cole slaw and drizzled with BBQ sauce. DAMN."

You just said the magic words. Gotta check this one out.

I've just been there once but the pizza was quite good. I would definitely go back again.

I tried this last Wednesday during a long lunch break. I got a single slice of pepperoni (large slices) and a soft drink. I think it was $4.50 or $5. Not bad, but pretty filling. I liked the food and I liked the interior. (Don't know about atmosphere as I was literally the only person in there right when they opened the door at 11am until I left at about 11:25).

I liked it and I'll be sure to be back again.

[bchris02]

I went a couple of weeks ago and liked it pretty well. Its good to see OKC getting more pizza by the slice options.

[Urbanized]

Try the wings. Also the knots. Both are fantastic.

Will do. Was by myself for lunch so didn't want to spend a bunch. When I find a date to bring we'll get the wings!

Ended up trying their pizza last night. I was with a friend at Norms dock side to hear another friend play music. It was almost 11 and I had not ate. The waitress said we can give her our order for pizza and they will deliver it and add it to our bat tab at norms. Great service! Had a large pepperoni it was very good

They have French fries fried in duck fat. They are every bit as delicious as they sound!

Good to know!.. I love Duck Fat fries and MUTTS was the only place in OKC to get them.. and add Truffle oil!

Went today for lunch with friends. Got there about 12:30pm and there was maybe three other tables with people at them.

We all did slices with a Mean Green salad.

Gotta say right off the bat, the slices and salad were top notch. Probably some of the best slices I've had in OKC and IMO slightly better than Empire and Sauced.

But honestly, that was the only thing that they topped my list for.

First, I'm not a fan of going into Bricktown to simply eat (lunch or dinner) - I find it inconvenient overall.

Second, as for the decor, its okay, but it looked gimmicky, cheap and touristy to me and not at all genuine like Empire does (strictly my opinion and taste).

To me the biggest let down was the customer service. The two people working there were friendly and all, it just wasn't done right IMO.

First off, they have a sign promoting a slice and a soft drink for $5. The cashier even promoted this - so we bought it and added salad - only to then find out (after we paid), that the soda machine wasn't working and our only choice was tea. No refund offered, no alternative, no apology, nada.

When our salads arrived they came with a small container of ranch dressing - which I must say was awesome dressing and tasted homemade. So good in fact we asked for an additional container for each salad - salads are huge (dressing was tiny). The dressing never came, so we had to go to the counter and ask for it again.

The pizza I had was so good (Hoochie Cuchi) that I was dying to try the pepperoni, so I went to the counter and ordered a slice. They had sold the last one so he told me to pay for it and he'd make a fresh one and bring me the slice when it comes out of the oven.

20+ minutes later I realize the pie came out long ago and the cashier simply forgot about me - keep in mind there are only 4 tables with people at them.

The slices we ordered were all very tasty and had lots of texture and fresh looking ingredients. No idea how long they'd sat under the heat lamp, but the flavor was good though the temp was a bit lacking and they didn't offer to run them back through the oven.

The Mean Green salad was great. Good mix of greens and large chunks of veggies.

That all said, while I loved the pizza, I probably would not put this on my regular rotation simply because of the location, atmosphere and lack of customer service - its a shame though, because the quality of the pie was second to none.

Not a typical visit, at least in my own experiences. Did you think about passing your concerns on to the owner?

[BBatesokc]

...Did you think about passing your concerns on to the owner?

Considering nobody walked up and said, "Hi, I'm the owner, what did you think?" No, I'm not going to go out of my way to locate or identify an owner.

Despite some of the negatives, you did so well describing the positives that I must try this place. I'm thinking now. Good job.

[Martin]

been meaning to bring a pie back to the office for lunch but the logistics of parking have kept me away... where's the best place to park to grab a to go order at knuck's? -M

[shawnw]

they deliver, maybe they'll run it out to you on oklahoma

[Pete]

Right, you might call in an order then tell them you'll give them a ring when you are temp parked -- then give them a nice tip for running it out.

[Martin]

great idea... thanks, guys! -M
