Whenever I give our page to a new user, they never realize that these items are clickable in addition to the pages in their dropdown menus. This is a problem I've been considering for a while, and a few of you pointed it out as well.
There have been a few solutions I have considered, but none of them have been quite as effective or clean as I would've hoped.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure whether you meant the problem is with the items or the dropdowns, so I'll answer for both.
For the dropdown, try to make the color change more significant. As is, it is barely noticable.
For the items, I believe making a half-a-second pause between moving the mouse to an item and the opening of the dropdown might get the desired effect (it doesn't have to be half a second, but something really short, maybe even noticable only at an unconscious level), but it's just an assumption.
This isn't based on anything besides my gut feeling.
