The Lazy Goat, Mozzarella Focaccia Sticks, Buffalo Chicken, Meat Almighty
Stephanie C.

Aviator always hits, my goodness. I have been going to Aviator for about 2-3 years now and it has become my go-to spot for pizza on any occasion When I go, I tend to get their version of the supreme pizza or the Meat Almighty, but lately I've been more into their unique flavors, specifically the Lazy Goat, which has salami, spinach, goat cheese, and artichoke hearts. That pizza is pretty fresh tasting and does a great job balancing the sour flavor of the artichoke heart with the spinach and goat cheese. Additionally, their crust kind of has me in a chokehold as it's a little sweeter and they make it fresh, as verifiable by the open kitchen concept where you can see workers throwing and shaping pizza dough before topping it. Service is great and fast, but quality is guaranteed!

I really wanted to like it At Aviator, but it somewhat missed the mark. I thought the overall decor and vibe was great. I was a little overwhelmed by so many choices on the menu, and found it better suited for a sit down restaurant rather than ordering at the counter. Admittedly, I am a bit of a purist when it comes to pizza - just plain cheese! I really liked the sauce and cheese here, but the crust was a little bland. On the positive side, it came out super fast and was super cheap! I would've been a regular back in my college days!

I am in Austin for the weekend and wanted to explore vegetarian pizza options. We went to Aviator Pizza since it was close to where I was staying. I was pleasantly surprised by the pizza and drink options. I really enjoyed my honey sriracha brussel sprouts with goat cheese on a scrumptious pizza base. I had a watermelon sour beer called Hi Sign which felt like a kombucha drink - very yummy. The service was exceptional and the vibe casual. I took my dog too and it was great to sit out on the patio overlooking the water. The prices were reasonable for the serving size! I highly recommend this place for the creative pizza options for vegetarians and the wonderful service. A great find in Austin!

Nice easy walk in and right away got taken for the good choices by the man who works here. it was nice to be able to order fast and get what I needed except they forgot the basil so I had to turn the pizza back so they can put the basil on it. They gave me attitude about it like they said oh it's on it, but I opened it twice and I even showed it to them to prove it that they're lying and they gave me attitude again afterwards I didn't understand that part at all.

Tried the Meats, Buffalo Chicken, and Pepperoni & Sausage pizzas at Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse and they were all delicious! Fresh ingredients, generous toppings, and great flavor. Friendly service and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Tried the Vegetarian with vegan cheese and it was also delicious!!! Obsessed with the crust at Aviator and I don't think you can go wrong on anything you order.

Grabbed the pepperoni pizza to go and my first impression was the insane amount of pepperoni that they put on it! When eaten warm, the cheese has a nice pull and stretch which is so alluring cause it's not saucy in the way that it's messy. I was waiting in line at the counter but one of the servers asked if anyone was there to pick up an online order so I was able to skip ahead to pick up my pizza which sped up my pickup considerably. The crust is not too dry but rather airy and slightly sweet. The balance on the pizza just hits in a way I definitely didn't expect. It didn't taste too oily even though there was an ample amount of pepperoni. Chewing the airy crust just made me want to keep eating and I'll definitely be coming back! It took care of both my bread craving, cheese craving, and pizza craving!! **edit to say: even second day and reheated, the dough still was so chewy and mochi like

We've been to Aviator Pizza twice now, and while we ultimately enjoyed the experience, the inconsistency between visits is what kept this from being a 5 star review. On our first visit, things were a bit rough--the food came out cold, and the cheese inside the calzone wasn't even melted. It was a disappointing start.Thankfully, our second visit redeemed the place in a big way. Everything was hot, fresh, and flavorful. We've tried the calzones, the Meat Almighty, and the Lazy Goat; each one hit the spot. And don't sleep on their house ranch; it's ridiculously good and pairs perfectly with just about everything. The plane-themed decor adds a fun, quirky charm to the place, and the staff have been super friendly both times, which goes a long way. If the kitchen can stay consistent, Aviator Pizza has serious potential to be a regular go-to. We will likely be back.

The customer service was excellent, it was our first time here. My son wanted pizza. Kelsey was super sweet and amazing. She enlightened me on a few new flavors of cider I didn't know Austin Eastcider had. Which I really appreciate, since I love cider and pizza together. The music was clean and family friendly. I loved the lighting and spacing. All around great place. Definitely come here after the thinkery moms!

Went today Saturday at 2pm to celebrate my 2 year old grand daughter's birthday. Pizza was hot and came pretty quickly. It was all of our first time coming about 20 of us. We had large Pepperoni, Margarita, all Meats and mozzarella focaccia. The staff was so wonderful we really enjoyed our time. Thank you guys so much!!!

I know it's a pizza place but I swung by for a salad. This is for all the salad peeps. Foremost, it was delicious and humongous! Definitely a bang for your buck, but for a large salad like this, I found some of the variety of salads a bit limiting in the sense that, I feel like if I'm eating a humongous salad, there should be a little more variety in veggies. The most variety you can get in terms of vegetables besides leafy greens are tomatoes, olives, (diced) onions, and artichoke. I think it'd be nice to have cucumbers, broccoli, or at least carrots in the salads; they are not add-ons available. If you wanna be satiated by veggies, maybe not the salads here, but if you want something simple and tasty that will fill you up, then Aviator is good. I'd try some of the others on the menu too, tbh. This personal salad was 16$ with no add-ons. Ambiance is nice, they have a big patio in front and they're next to a lake with a cute park. There are parking meters around the area so do your best to find something free if you can.

It's always about what I see for me. I was excited to have some fresh pizza and we decided this was a great option. The customers and staff was quite helpful. The taste was amazing for my bestie and he loved eating his meat lovers personal 12 inch that he insisted that he needed to eat in that moment. I orseees a hamburger pizza. It was ok but I really enjoyed the freshness the most. What is facility is connected to another and they share restaurants which I thought was efficient for the community and really nice

This is a cute little dive bar right off of Guadalupe. It's very dark inside and cool which is the…read moregreatest escape from the heat. There's a pool table and darts, as well as several booths to sit at in addition to the bar. The bartenders are friendly and they have a large selection of beers on tap. They also have a covered patio area if you want to sit outside.

After reading through all the reviews, I noticed there were hardly any photos so I added 10. Parking can be an issue and you need to be careful because you could get towed or booted in this neck of the woods. They do have about a dozen or so spots behind the bar. The interior reminds me of a burned out home with a dirty concrete floor below and scorched, black exposed rafters above. Plenty of old car license plates on the wall and a jukebox off to the side. Bring a picture of your dog, because they have a large corkboard for customers and their pooches. They have plenty of good craft beers on tap and a decent full bar. This is a great place to bring your own darts or pool cue and since there are two dartboards and a pool table here. There's plenty of four top tables, seating at the bar or five booths to sit at. There's also an outdoor seating area that allows smoking. If you are hungry, they do have a food truck out back that serves up tacos, ramen, nachos, etc. On our visit, the truck was not open after 4:30pm. As a result, we just had one beer and left. It's your overall decent local neighborhood dive that has its regulars, but not worth driving across town for.
