Leela's new restaurant in Uptown is a cozy, minimalist pizza and wine bar that we have a wee bit of a crush on.
is on the ground floor of McKinney and Olive , a glamourous mixed-use development that was designed by Argentine-American architect César Pelli, whose other work includes the World Financial Center in New York City and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
You can't miss the sign at night. When the weather is nice, there's a lot of outdoor seating here at the M&O complex.If you're passing by at night, you'll notice Leela's neon green sign.

We sat at the bar, which has a hidden TV, a clever technique with a TV up high inside a bar so that people sitting at the bar can watch a game, but other diners aren't diverted toLeela's has minimalist decor with light wood and green tones.Leela's uses a tap system for wine; 16 spigots protrude from dark green tiles at the back of the bar instead of walls of bottles. This minimalist approach results in less waste and a more consistent quality of wine.
A focal point of the menu is the Roman Tonda-style pizza, which is noteworthy mainly for its thin and cracker-like crust. The Leelas's crew consulted withgo-to local pizza dough guy who also helped develop the dough at Zoli's and Thunderbird Pies — to get this style just right, which is flat as a cracker and strong enough to hold up the toppings. You can order pizzas in full or half sizes; the latter is a perfect dinner for one.
