Between the new Boulevard set up and the win over University of North Texas, Saturday was one for the books. Another big thing happened on Saturday, and while it may have gone unnoticed by some students, it wont for long. Olivella’s Pizza is now the official pizza concessionaire of SMU Athletics.

“We are happy to add Olivella’s as the Official Pizza Concessionaire for SMU Athletics,” said Brad Sutton, Senior Associate Athletic Director for SMU Athletics. “We are constantly working to improve our game day experience and adding great and unique concession options like Olivella’s is another step in that direction. I know our fans will enjoy this addition.”

Students can look forward to eating favorites like the Margherita and Black Truffle pizza at the upcoming football and basketball games. The pizza truck will also feature new items for SMU students to try, including a 10-inch Big Formaggio fried pizza and Arancini, balled risotto fried with breadcrumbs. Two other new items to look out for are the Zeppole and Chocolate salami. The Zeppole is fried dough sprinkled with sugar and served with Nutella dipping sauce. The Chocolate salami is chocolate rolled up in a salami-like tube and served sliced with mascarpone on top.

Olivella’s has been a long time favorite for the students of SMU and will be a big part of game day. The new pizza truck, complete with a 4,300-pound wood-burning stove that was built in Italy, will bring a new flavor to game day.
