Some of the best pizza in Oklahoma comes home to roost at Sam & Ella's Chicken Palace in Tahlequah. While their name reflects the restaurant's interior brimming with fun iconography of the humble yard bird, Sam & Ella's specializes in fresh, hand-tossed pizzas.

Stop in for the Rock Island Red, a local favorite pie featuring red sauce, ham, mushrooms, sweet onions, mozzarella, pineapple and honey. For a veggie feast, try The Pie Without a Face with colorful bell peppers, red onions, black olives, mushrooms and pineapples. You can also create your own masterpiece, so flex your creative muscles before digging into Sam & Ella's pies. Tasty subs and fresh salads round out this hearty menu. 

Once country singer Carrie Underwood's employer in college, a visit to Sam & Ella's is a must during your Tahlequah adventure.
