The city’s pizza scene is booming with a cornucopia of distinctive and delicious pies: This includes the longtime offerings from Home Slice Pizza, Via 313’s Detroit-style thick rectangle pies, classic pies from Little Deli, gas station options like Giovanni’s Pizza Stand, and vegan options from Lil’ Nonna’s. Read on for the best full-pie-slinging pizzerias in Austin; for pizza slices in town, Eater has this guide.

Pedroso's Pizza [Lala's]

The pizzeria opened this location inside of Brentwood bar Lala’s, where it is still firing up superlative pies and slices. There are thick Sicilian and Grandma pies, plus New York-style slices and what it calls “American-style” with lots of cheese and sauce. Don’t miss out on the stromboli and calzones, too. Don’t want to stay to eat? Takeout and delivery are available online. Pedroso’s also has three food trucks dedicated to square pies in Wooten, East Austin, and Round Rock.

Little Deli & Pizzeria

This is one of Austin’s most underrated pizzerias. The Jersey-style pies it serves draw fans from all over town to Crestview to eat in the deli-style dining room or outside at the shaded picnic tables (there’s also a cute little gazebo). For those who like to get a little unconventional, it offers white and pesto pies, and has a gluten-free crust option. This place keeps it old school, and takeout can only be done in person or over the phone.

Bufalina Due

The team at Bufalina Due and its counterpart Bufalina in East Austin create expertly executed Neapolitan pies that have earned raves from critics and diners alike. The wood-fired pizza oven manages to bring old-world charm into its strip mall location, while the pizza menu keeps it pretty classic; it also offers pasta and starters. Bonus: there’s an excellent wine list that focuses on natural wine. Orders can be placed ahead of time to-go.

Feral Pizza

This North Loop pizza truck with lots of outdoor seating (and the option for takeout orders in person or online) is all about thin- and thick-crust pies. As a twist, the pizzas have wild names like the Nervous Breakdown (sausage, bell pepper, and onion), the Kevin (a white pie with spinach, garlic, mozzarella, and ricotta), and the Panic Attack (pepperoni, garlic, ricotta, and basil). The team is about minimizing food waste by making as many of the ingredients by hand as possible, and the pie style is inspired by various Northeast options with a heavy lean toward New Haven and New York — meaning crispy, well-cooked crusts.

Allday Pizza

This pizza pop-up has three locations — in Tarrytown at Flo’s Wine Bar, at East Austin cocktail bar Daydreamer, and a stand-alone in Hyde Park (all of them make use of inside and outside seats). The New York-style menu spans fantastic slices and pies topped with cheeses, vegetables, and meats. A special called the sampler offers a sixth slice free with an order of any five, which allows for trying as many flavor combinations as possible. For those who prefer to take it home, Allday offers in person and online orders for the East Sixth locations.

Tony C’s Coal Fired Pizza

The Hill Country Galleria pizzeria is one of the few pizzerias around that serves coal-fired pizza — there's a location at Avery Ranch too. The toppings are inventive, including the Truffle Shuffle (with truffles, fontana cheese, and mushrooms), the Valentino (a pink sauce pie with prosciutto and goat cheese), and a vegetarian pie with spinach and zucchini. Those traveling far will want to hang out and enjoy the exposed brick and wood dining room that spans two floors or the sidewalk tables, but takeout and delivery are also available online.

Via 313

Thanks to its trucks and numerous physical restaurants around Austin, Via 313’s Detroit-style pies are well-known in the city’s pizza scene. A cool trick it does: The thick-crust square pizzas are actually baked in auto-part pans from the Motor City. Try the Bobo Brazile (hot Calabrese, sausage, red pepper flakes, and hot honey) or the Hawaiian (whole pineapple slices with ham, of course). If you don’t want to eat in or at one of the outside trucks, it does offer takeaway orders online.
