Not to be confused with the other OIP – Original Italian Pizza, which is located out east in Boca Raton, this OIP is located just outside the campus of Florida Atlantic University, in the research park. Prior to being OIP, this location housed Rock City Pizza (or something like that, I never got around to trying it before they closed) and prior to that it was Annie’s Pizza which was pretty good.
I always imagined that this has to be one of the toughest locations in Boca Raton to open a pizza joint. As I previously stated in the Annie’s review a while back, “Nestled between the Boca Raton airport and a bunch of research companies is this surprisingly busy pizza shop”. You literally could pass this place a hundred times and not know it was behind the building that faces the street. Anyways, Annie’s Pizza did a nice business there and built it up to a point where they could sell it, which didn’t work out so well for the new owners. OIP must have came along and scooped this location up in hopes that the new FAU Football stadium and traffic would help build a pizza business.
