One of Austin’s most underrated pizzerias, the Jersey-style pies draw fans from all over.
Their pizza is made using homemade dough which is prepared in the artisan style the old fashioned way. They have the options of curbside pickup and dine-in service is available at the patio in Windsor.
2. East Side Pies
The creative pies look absolutely beautiful – not that you’ll be able to resist digging in before taking an Instagram snap. Fresh, local thin crust pizza is topped with great ingredients such as whole-milk mozzarella, other fantastic cheese and Texas-sourced meats.
The bases here are pretty unique: you can get a chimichurri base pie, black bean sauce or ricotta if you want to go wild.
3. DeSano
They follow the strict guidelines Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN), so you know for sure that you’ll get an authentic Neapolitan pie here. You can’t go wrong with their Margherita D.O.P, made with San Marzano tomato sauce, basil, garlic, scamorza, mozzarella di bufala, pecorino romano.
It’s also BYOB, so you can splash the cash on extra pizza instead.

Crusts are big, doughy and utterly delicious.

A traditional pizza with some funky ingredients makes Bufalina so special. Choose summer squash, salsa verde, pickled onion and peanuts or a harissa lamb pie.

This pizza hotspot/craft brewery is a real gem. When available, they focus on locally sourced, organic ingredients. By working with local vendors and making food from scratch their pizzas always taste super premium with creative toppings.

Hot pizza. Cold drinks. The two essential parts of a great meal? Via 313 makes Detroit-style pizza inspired by the traditional recipes as well as exciting newcomers. The thick, square slices are droolworthy.
