I know my posts have been a bit pizza-centric lately, but with all the buzz in the air about 3 Guys closing in Oxford, I thought it timely to talk about a new pizzeria just about 20 minutes outside of Oxford in Sardis.
If you haven’t made it out to TriBecca Allie Cafe on Main Street in Sardis yet, make some plans to go. Owners Dutch and Becca serve pizza straight from a wood-burning oven using handmade dough and garden-fresh toppings. I tried the Margherita pizza this time around, but plan to return for the house specialty pizza, the Magnolia Rosa, topped with olive oil, red onions, Mississippi pecans and a blend of three cheeses.
If you’re in the mood to try some of TriBecca’s other menu items, they offer tuna, chicken and egg salad sandwiches; spicy Thai shrimp salad; and daily specials such as roasted chicken, pulled pork and baby back ribs (the orzo side salad that came with my sandwich was so tasty I requested more to take home with me).
Whatever you decide to order, don’t dare leave without trying the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!
Visit the TriBecca Allie Cafe website here for more information and an online menu.
This place is amazing. Better than any pizza in Oxford in my opinion and definitely worth the drive to Sardis.

During 2009, I visited the building twice during the renovation stages. The amount of detail that Dutch put into the renovation was astonishing to me. It was a REAL labor of love for Dutch. Bob Villa craftsmanship throughout. And the wood-fired oven is the centerpiece manifique.
Soon, Ms. Rebecca will be opening the 2nd floor, which will be a cafe atmosphere straight out of a Baudelaire poem. Start planning your romantic intrigue now – “Here’s looking at you kid”.
BTW, Dutch is a bread baker who always has loaves for sale at the Oxford Farmers Markets. So, you can bet your bippy that Dutch knows his dough!
