    9" cheese pizza
    Ashley N.

    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 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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Just moved into this area and was looking for a quick lunch. Landed on aviator pizza for a calzone! It was very hot and fresh. Easy to order online and pickup with no issues. The dough itself was over cooked and little burnt but I did enjoy the flavor!

    First time here and there are so many different options for pizza! I got the ground control and they did bot skimp you out on the toppings! The pizza did take a long time though, not sure if they forgot our order or not. It was decent pizza, nothing spectacular!

    12" Major Tom  Was very disappointed. Looks and tastes like a supreme Digiorno pizza but more expensive

    Really disappointing pizza restaurant in Mueller. I was really hoping this place was good since it's the closest to our home and perfectly located to the park. Great beer selection, but not great pizza Note: if you like good pizza spots in Austin like Pinthouse, Sammataro, Via313, Bufalina, Backdraft to name a few, than I am pretty confident you will not like this place. If you like Digiorno pizza, than this place is for you. Food - Looks like Digiorno tastes like a Dijorno. Asked for ranch to ease the flavor but pretty sure it was hidden valley... Seriously, the pizza was so bad I couldn't finish it (the second I got it I knew it was going to be bad) Ambience is fine, Beer selection is really great. Only offers Texas wines but that is the vibe they're going for. Attention owner: I am more than happy to talk about my disappointment in the quality of the pizza Cannot recommend this place and definitely cannot say I will be back with the quality of pizza in this town

And BTW you can only order online with a qr code (this is always a bad customer experience imo). And just like this, the customer service isn't up to part. The fish is fantastic with a crispy hand batter. The fries were the absolute worst. Not crispy and tasted like I took some non name brand fries and threw them in an air fryer. And for $13 I expect more than 4 oz of fish. Sure there were plentiful fries but when they're that bad we both wasted money. But coming back to the service, with 3 empty bottles of malt vinegar and an empty ketchup dispenser and one guy working, of course I'm going to rate the service as bad.

I knew I wanted a burger from the Crown before I started the long drive from South Carolina. Despite a literal wrench in my tire, I managed to make it there on 2/28 by 1pm, where my travelling companion and I met up with an old friend of mine from college. There was a bike swap going on, which felt about right for ATX. We ordered a beer and a burger then settled in on the porch (the part I call the "inside/outside" because it has a roof). I'm not going to say the Crown has the best burgers in the world. I guess it depends on what you want in a burger. I will say that, for the price, the Crown has the best pub burger - a good basic burger. I got a jalapeno cheeseburger, but I can attest to the deliciousness of the veggie burger and the mushroom-swiss. Back in the early 90s we used to bring my daughter with us and she would play pinball with my friend, Dirk. The bartenders at the time included a couple of guys who used to work at Duddley's Draw in College Station, TX. In the early oughts, I would come in for lunch and try to decide if I wanted the chicken tacos or a burger. Later I came in with the guy I was dating for too long for beers and a burger. Times change, Austin grows (parts are completely unrecognizable and no longer have that "vibe" that seems uniquely Austin; however, the Crown is a jewel in the rough that continues to shine for those of us who can see it. I had an awkward piece of time on 3/4/26 so I stopped by for a NA Guinness before heading out to see my aunt in Lakeway. I had the pleasure of seeing Derwin! My trip wouldn't have been complete without saying "hi." It took a minute, but he did eventually remember me! Here's to hoping it doesn't take another 8 years; because, we only get older and my friends are starting to show their age! I hope the Crown continues to serve great burgers and cold beers. I'll be back next time I make the pilgrimage home!

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.

At our arrival, the crowd was minimal. We were able to sit near the stage and enjoy the music vibes. After reviewing the menu, we went to the bar to place the order. I decided to go with 2 chili dogs, and my friend ordered the steak sliders with waffle fries.

The live music is played in the back next to a pit that usually has people dancing but also serves as a great place to watch sports when they seldomly don't have live music. This bar covers a lot of bases whether you're there for music, sports, or just to drink. Speaking of drinks, the waiters are friendly and they have a good amount of options.
