Students attending the University of Oklahoma can now enjoy the Volare Pizzeria and Bar between classes or during a home game to grab some delicious food and drinks. Situated on the rooftop of Campus Corner, Volare's is a three-story building that enables diners to enjoy a variety of different views from the upscale campus bar. The design of the bar was created to reflect something one of the owners saw in Paris.
The first floor of Volare's is focused around creating a community feel with the bar situated around the Italian pizza oven that is outfitted with color-changing lights. Those partaking in the rooftop area will be greeted with misters and air conditioners in the summer, while winter will see heaters and blankets being implemented. This helps to make Volare's Pizzeria and Bar a more upscale option for students to partake in during the semester.
