Sorry to pile on with another five star review but I can't help it…read more My daughter and her family took us there for our 60th wedding anniversary celebration. They knew that we would like it because we were big fans of the other Backspace in North Austin. The only thing missing was the arancini that the other Backspace used to produce. Anyway, we started will some very unique appetizers that you won't find elsewhere. One was their rendition of bruschetta and the other, I can't remember the name. Remember, this was our 60th anniversary and I didn't get married at age 7. Did I mention that we ordered a few bottles of wine? Yeah, those were excellent as were the various pizzas that we ordered from their wood fired oven. In case you weren't aware, pizzas baked in a wood or coal fired oven are vastly superior to others and they cook much more quickly. I need to brag about the staff; Firstly, there's a presence of management which I greatly appreciated because I was a restaurant owner for more than thirty years. I don't believe that a restaurant can run itself. Secondly, Our server, Quincy, so delightful that we are starting adoption proceedings. She was engaging, attentive and very animated. She deserves an acadamy award for her performance.. The house gave my wife and I a delightful dessert that we declined to share with our other family members. All things cosidered, if you are anywhere near this adorable little restaurant, go there .

Quaint inside, not too big and ample bar seating. Once I was greeted they informed me of their concept once she knew it was my first time in. They are known for pizzas specifically Italian style as all ingredients are imported. Including the pizza oven. How fun! Ordered the mushroom pizza and a glass of wine. Pizza came out in about 10 minutes and it was amazing. Nice and crisp and it did hold up when lifted, the toppings were fresh and not too much. I'd love to go back with a few peeps to try a couple other thing, sharing is caring.

We were in Rome and Naples earlier this year and we were longing for this type of pizza ever since. They hit both marks too- Neopolitan style was the perfect size, quality ingredients, and chew of the crust. The Roman style was even more impressive where you can order a whole pizza that feeds 3-4 (squares are substantial size) or you can order just one if you're feeling like you want to try. The pastas are homemade and delicious but suggest you order and eat there. Also the polpette are divine! We are avid supporters almost once a week because we just crave their food. Authentic and simple. You truly get what you pay for and the people that work there are solid. Go eat their You won't regret it.

I've been to Pizza do Roma on two occasions…read more On the first visit my husband and I decided to stop by there while on our E-bike ride. We parked our bike and walked in. We were greeted by a friendly person at the counter. He took our order and told us to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant is small but has seating in two areas. As you order you can view the pizzas and decide what you would like by the slice. They also have a full menu displayed on the wall with other food options that you can order. This time we ordered two slices of pepperoni, one slice of margherita, and one slice of pizza di roma. The pepperoni pizza was my favorite. The margherita pizza was good and the pizza di roma had a meat and veggies which was tasty. The cheese was melted and when you would pull the pieces apart it would stretch. The crust was strong under the ingredients and the exterior crust on the edges were crispy. This pizza was delicious. On the second visit I went with my husband and kids. This time we took our car and found 1 hour parking across from the restaurant. We had a similar experience in terms of friendly service. We each order our own slices. I got the pepperoni and pizza di roma. Both were very good. We also ordered a whole pepperoni pizza to take home. Overall pizza di roma was a great place to visit. It has a small atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious pizza.

Another Austin Restaurant Week (ARW)super discovery while working in South Austin! Enoteca Sportiva…read moreis located on S. Lamar at the bottom of the MAA building with free parking in two nearby garages. Please note the building signage states Pizzaria Sportiva. The restaurant has a large outdoor patio with visually appealing greenery. Also, the restaurant is divided into two major sections - eating area with a bar and dining room used in the evenings. On Friday Enteca Sportiva celebrates its 9th Anniversary according the owner, Al. The ARW menu featured three courses. My selections included 1) Meatballs in a marinara sauce 2) lasagna with beef and Italian sausage and 3) raspbery sorbetto (sorbet). The meatballs were super large with thick and flavorful marinara. Generally speaking, lasagna has more noodles than meat. This lasagna had more meat and sauce than noodles...blew my socks off. OMG, the homemade raspberry sorbetto reeked of raspberry flavor and oh so smooth. Tracy, my server, my courses pretty quickly with the first two courses steaming out. This restaurant's food was amazing!

So after all eventful volleyball game at the Moody, my handsome guy and I treked over to Home Slice. The parking situation was madness, but we somehow lucked out and snagged a good one. And although, it seemed like it might be crazy inside, we were seated immediately. Maddie was our server and she was incredible. She was helpful, took our order, took our supplemental order, brought us a second side of ranch when a fly decided to nose dive into ours, and checked on us just enough. The salad was spectacular, as usual. There's just never enough. Solution: order two. The garlic knots were a little low on garlic, but tasty nonetheless. Combined with the marinara sauce, just delicious! I got a slice of the white pie with spinach which is olive oil, ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, and spinach. The crust was crunchy in all the right places and the toppings were tasty. I'm hungry just thinking about it again. This Austin staple is always a win for me.

When I pulled up, the parking lot was packed, and while I was able to get a spot that just opened up, lots of people seemed to be walking up from street spots. There are indoor and outdoor dining options, but given the heat, I opted to get on the brief waitlist for indoor seating and enjoy interior! The hostesses have a fast system and take your phone number, so the line moves pretty quickly. From what I could tell, HSP is a favorite among families, date night goers, college boys, girls night, you name it! I ordered a slice of pizza and garlic knots, admittedly, I wasn't starving. But if I get the chance to come back, I saw other tables get wings, cold subs, and calzones that also looked great! Home Slice Pizza is a neighborhood knockout!

There's a nice patio area for outdoor seating, they have great happy hour deals, and have live music on Thursdays from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. NOTES: - Reservations: available on OpenTable - Parking: small lot next to the building but free street parking is also available nearby - Happy hour: Monday through Friday until 6:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00 pm, and all night every Thursday - Online ordering: available on their website through ToastTab for pickup only THE HIGHS: - I had a reservation for 8:00 pm on a Saturday night, arrived at 7:50 pm, and got seated right away - Service was great and food came out quickly - Everything is very shareable so you can order a lot of different things to try - The homemade ranch is AMAZING! THE LOWS: - The bar was backed up so it took about 15 minutes to get an iced tea - Soft drinks aren't refillable ($4 for a single can of Diet Coke is pretty crazy) THE PRICE: The pricing is reasonable for other similar pizza places in Austin. - Diet Coke ($4) - Iced tea ($4.50) - Italian sandwich ($19) - Big Bad Wolf pizza ($21) - Hot Boy Summer pizza ($21) - Ricotta added to pizza ($4) - Side of ranch ($1) The total was $82.87 after tax ($6.13) but before tip. (We also ordered the warm seeded focaccia for $7 but weren't charged for it) BEST BITES: - Warm seeded focaccia: the whipped honey garlic butter that comes on the side is PHENOMENAL! I could eat it with a spoon! - Italian sandwich: One of my favorite Italian sandwiches ever! The bread is soft but holds up, the spicy capicola and spicy giardiniera add the perfect little kiss of heat, and the marinated mozzarella is thick and delicious! THE VERDICT: This was my first time at Loudmouth and I had a good experience overall. I came excited to try the pizza but was a little underwhelmed... the char from the wood-fired oven is delicious but the actual dough doesn't have much flavor. There are a lot of pizza places I prefer in Austin. HOWEVER, the Italian sandwich was phenomenal and I would come back just for that! Overall, I'd recommend Loudmouth to others but would suggest trying some of the menu items other than just pizza.
