Doyle Rader City of Ate from p17 Finally, the restaurant was giving out free dessert as a welcome to the neighborhood. We opted for a Nutella and banana calzone (normally $12.99). Here, the dough was thin and crisp, almost like a freshly made tortilla. The amount of Nutella was scandalous, like too much. Is that OK? Yes. This was a beauti- ful, messy treat. There are about 15 regular pizzas on the menu, ranging from $12.99 to $17.99 for the 13-inch, and five more star-shaped pizzas. In addition to salads and burrata, there are also calzones, but no pasta here. Mister O1 offers a gluten-free vegan crust for $2.99 extra. There are about a dozen other Mister O1 pizzas around the world, including Florida, Spain and Saudi Arabia. Dallas already has some serious pizza game going on, and now the field has gotten a little busier. We saw only Peronis in the fridge, but there are also bottles of red wine and white wine here. A separate area is set up for to-go orders, making grabbing on the run pretty easy. Mister O1, 3838 Oak Lawn Ave., 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Sunday – Thursday; 11 a.m. –11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. ▼ DRINKING Come watch all the football action with us!

BY DOYLE RADER inding a low-key watering hole in Deep Ellum most weekends can be dif- ficult. The vibrant neighborhood pulses from every street corner. In the middle of it all lies a laid-back bar with a quirky name offering a respite from the activity outside. The Wounded Ostrich is a new addition to Main Street, between Crowdus and Malcolm X. Despite being new to the neighborhood, the no-frills venue feels like a well-worn staple. Given its near-dive appeal, it could quickly be- come a favorite destination on the block. The bar bills itself as an “offbeat lounge” on its website. Inside the shotgun space, you’ll find a large front window for people- watching, an L-shaped bar, a pool table, multiple four-tops and a stage in back. Por- traits of ostriches line the walls of the dimly lit space. Wounded Ostrich offers an extensive drink menu with beer, wine, seltzers and shooters. Specialty cocktails include the Peach Tea Lemonade ($8), made with sweet tea vodka, peach and lemonade, and The Devil’s Red Dress ($12) — Teremana Re- posado, pomegranate and orange bitters. Like any good joint with a wooden bar top, it has a selection of seven boilermakers to help ease the stress of watching the world burn daily. Buyer beware, though: at least one of the combinations isn’t for the faint of heart. The Original ($7.50), a Coors Banquet and a shot of Jim Beam, is familiar enough. How- ever, if you’re looking to make friends, you may want to avoid the Best Friend ($9). It fea- tures a sensibility-shocking pairing of Smirnoff Ice and a shot of Malört (of “To- night’s the night you’ll fight your dad” fame). There is also a selection of hot dogs served up by Western Willy’s starting at 6 p.m. for the peckish. Willy’s menu has five gourmet basic frankfurters and chicken op- tions to choose from: the standard dog, Texas barbecue dog, Frito Pie dog, chicken dog and Buffalo chicken dog. The Standard Dog ($5.50) is a spiral-cut quarter-pound all-beef frank served plain with packets of ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard on the side. The Frito Pie Dog ($8) is the Standard heaped with chili, cheese, onion, sour cream, jalapenos and Fritos corn chips, naturally. A bag of chips or a side of fries is available for an additional $1 and $2, respectively, with the purchase of a dog. They are also sold separately for $1.50 and $4.50. The Wounded Ostrich isn’t a place where people go to be seen. It’s where you go to get away from the noise and commotion. With its approachable prices, long drink menu, quick bites, pool table and casual, come-as- you-are vibes, it’s a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

The Wounded Ostrich, 2815 Main St. (Deep Ellum) 6 p.m. – 2 a.m. Wednesday – Friday; 3 p.m. – 2 a.m. Saturday; 3 p.m. – midnight Sun- day; closed Monday and Tuesday. Drink and dine under the watchful gaze of framed ostriches.
