North Oklahoma City’s pizza scene is getting a vertical upgrade. Hideaway Pizza is putting up a two-story restaurant with an outdoor patio at the northwest corner of North Western Avenue and NW 178th Street, where dirt work is already visible. The project is set to bring a sizable dining room and covered patio to the north OKC/Edmond corridor, with a fall 2026 opening on the calendar.
According to The Oklahoman, the restaurant is planned for 17820 North Western Avenue, right across from an OnCue, and crews began site work in late 2025. Permit information cited in that report lists the building at roughly 7,961 square feet, while an approved plan shows 6,796 square feet, and 2025 filings put the project’s valuation at about $950,000.
In a statement to The Oklahoman, Balay Hartman, Hideaway’s director of marketing and branding, said the new spot “will be in line with the north Oklahoma City location, which has two stories and a patio.” The article also notes this will be the chain’s 26th location.
What to Expect on the Menu
Hideaway builds its pies on a crust that gets a slow, three-day rise and a slow-simmered tomato sauce, and those signatures are expected to anchor the new restaurant as well. Menu listings and print materials confirm that longtime staples will be along for the ride, including the piled-on “All the Works,” the Alfredo-based “Paradise Pie” with spinach, mushrooms, chicken and bacon, and the meat-heavy “Big Country.” See the Hideaway menu and the chain’s site for background on the brand.
Timing and Local Impact
Hideaway is targeting a third-quarter or fall 2026 debut at the Western and 178th site, according to local coverage. The parcel at 17820 N Western Ave appears on commercial real estate listings, a reminder that this stretch continues to draw new retail and restaurant interest; see the listing on LoopNet.
The planned opening lines up with a broader growth streak for the chain, including projects in Texas reported by trade outlets such as Community Impact. Those moves suggest Hideaway is leaning into larger, two-story builds with outdoor seating as it stretches beyond its Oklahoma roots.
