 Gourmet pizza, beer and wine |
6266 Highway 290 W Austin, TX 78735 United States +1 512 891 9980 |
The owners of this family-operated restaurant near the "Y" at Oak Hill previously ran a pizzeria voted the best in Indianapolis for 13 consecutive years. Their experience shows, as folks come for miles to try their authentic New York-style pizza. The century-old historic stone building is hard to miss, with a classic interior best described as casual, family-style Italian. The extensive menu offers a long line of signature pizzas, with Mexican, Hawaiian, Texas, and Greek varieties alongside familiar Italian pies. Also available are great salads, lasagna, stromboli and sandwiches overflowing with Italian meats and cheeses. A list of domestic and imported beer and vintage wine rounds out the selection.

Locally owned pizzeria |
800 West 12th St Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 474 8822 http://www.austinspizza.com |
This downtown pizzeria prides itself on offering quality pies at bargain prices. Temporary coupons are never offered, just good deals all the time. For instance, a large four-topping pizza is $8.99, with a free two-liter bottle of Coca Cola thrown in. The shop insists on using fresh produce, quality meats, and a large selection of different cheeses. While primarily a delivery business without interior seating, there are picnic tables on the patio for those who wish to enjoy their pizza outdoors. No alcohol is served. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Casual pizza and pasta |
1608 West 35th St Austin, TX 78703 United States +1 512 453 4330 http://www.brickovenll.citysea... |
This cozy Italian spot in a renovated house turns out some of the best pizza in the city. But the full menu of pastas and appetizers make this more than a pizzeria. The copper oven is still central to the experience, even if pasta is what you order: Wonderful, crusty breads are served with pepper-spiked olive oil for dipping, and the smell of pizza baking in the wood oven permeates the place. Ravioli is a crowd-pleaser, and so are all the pizza varieties. Lunch specials give Italian lovers no excuse for passing this place by. Incidentally, this restaurant is owned by the founder of the original Brick Oven on Red River, which is now a franchise. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Still Cheesy After All These Years |
603, W 29th Street Austin, TX 78705 United States +1 512 478 5712 http://www.conanspizza.com |
Having catered to West Campus residents for three decades, Conan's Pizza ranks among the handful of area establishments that have managed to develop themselves into de facto University of Texas institutions. Insomuch as that the pizzeria's unusual name stems from the underground comic book store that once existed next door and that its walls are decorated with material taken from same, Conan's also acts as a much-needed time capsule containing a taste of UT's inimitable early-'70s charms. Likewise, the offerings still revolve around cheese-clogged, Chicago-style deep dish pies topped with such rare pizza accompaniments as artichoke hearts and chicken fajita strips. Several varieties of salad are also on hand in order to help college kids keep up the pretense of balanced eating. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sicilian Recipes, Sinatra Qualities |
508, West Avenue Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 472 3534 |
The whole "fellow obtaining an old family recipe and deciding to found a restaurant around it" thing is a common enough narrative within the dining world; in the case of Frank and Angie's, though, the fellow in question is Mike Hutchinson, co-founder of the eternally popular Hut's Hamburgers as well as the fortunate offspring of a Sicilian mother named Angie (the "Frank" is for Sinatra, whose picture presides over the festivities and whose various nicknames manifest themselves in the form of menu items). In defiance of the Austin area's college-fueled pizza saturation, Frank and Angie's has fought its way to the top of the pack with its unique, New York-style pizza, ingredient-intensive calzones, and a general Brooklyn-esque atmosphere.

A Slice of Life |
1415 South Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 444 7437 http://www.homeslicepizza.com/ |
Most Austinites will readily admit that the otherwise foodie-loving city is not the best spot in Texas for pizza. Luckily, there's Homeslice. The South Congress Avenue pizza joint serves piping hot NY-style thin crust pies for line-out-the-door crowds nearly every night of the week. If you've never indulged in East Coast pizza, their menu makes it easy with step-by-step instructions on how to eat foldable slices. In addition to oven-fresh pies, Homeslice tosses a great dinner salad and pours a wide variety of red and white wine. Plan a stop at this eatery to witness Austin at its best.

Dining by the lake |
3825 Lake Austin Boulevard Austin, TX 78703 United States +1 512 651 0505 http://www.lucysboatyard.com/ |
A part of the Comida Deluxe Dynasty, a hospitality group, Lucy's Boatyard provides a breathtaking view of the lake Austin and also serves an extensive cuisine ranging from salads and sandwiches to fresh Gulf sea food. A variety of Austin's ancient pizzas are part of the menu. Chicken fried New York strip steak served with homemade green chili country gravy, is one of the best in Texas. The homemade Crawfish Etuffe made with Gulf Shrimp and andouille sausage are a must have. During weekdays there is an added advantage as the rates go easy on the wallet. The outdoor ambience strikes a chord with the cuisine served. The fireplace and the nautical ambience are an added advantage. Review © 2007, Wcities |
