When’s the last time you had West African fare? Exactly.

“Where pizza gets personal” is the motto at this new pizzeria. Choose your crust, get sauce-y with it, then pick toppings for a personal pie delivered to you in about five minutes.

Tea Garden Chinese Restaurant

Teas and gardens are two things that can provide a little serenity in an otherwise busy day. Those who don’t have time to transform their home into a retreat might consider this new spot in Edmond. While the location isn’t actually in a garden, you actually get tea, along with Chinese food.
Pizza Planet

Get your rockets ready! And, no, that’s not a euphemism for anything suggestive. You’ll just need a way to get to an entirely new world made of pizza. OK, maybe it’s not made of pizza, but you will find pizza — lots of it — at Pizza Planet. You can also pick up chicken wings, cheddar peppers, onion rings, sandwiches and calzones.
Simply Sweet
501 S. Mustang, Yukon
837-6690
You’re throwing a party and want to do something out of the box. How about a candy buffet? Simply Sweet offers up packages for just that, including assorted jars, laminated cards with the type of candy listed, scoops and goody bags for guests when they leave. Visit the shop and enjoy one of its fresh-made muffins or pastries while you plan.
Spice and Rice
770 Debarr, Norman

Spice up your life! This has nothing to do with the Spice Girls and everything to do with tikka masala and curry. Enjoy the tandoori chicken with vegetables, and, of course, you can’t forget the naan. Also, all meat is 100-percent halal. Feast as if you’re a resident of the Taj Mahal!
