I live Cidercade Austin. The pizza is amazing! The games are amazing The cider is amazing. The employees are amazing. That clearly indicates Cidercade is amazing.

Andrea M.

Nice stop to kill some time. $12 per person to play unlimited games and there are plenty. Well kept and the beer and soda that they serve are their own.

Cheese pizza add feta and PINEAPPLE (Yes, I said it).

Ohhhhh yaaaaaa. This is totally added in our rotation for day dates. It's kid friendly and so fun for all ages! The dudes at the bar - A1! Thanks guys for taking care of me and my +1. The pizza smacked. And unlimited games - nostalgic and new? Heck yes. We're all in again next time! See yall then.

I wish they had one of these in Miami!!! Such a cool concept for an arcade. It's as noisy as any arcade but they do have seating area outside which is cool because they have swings as seats. Beers were nice and cold and the games are fairly priced. Parking is ample

Arcade bars are a glorious creation. To look at the classic concept of a pizzeria with an arcade and say, "What if it was 18+ after 9 pm and we brew our own beers and ciders?" is brilliant. Even more brilliant is making all the arcade machines free play, so when you pay the $12.99 to get in, you have the opportunity to play any game your heart desires. I drank two beers while at Cidercade, their Texas Blonde and their Pistolas Mexican Lager. Both were good and easy to drink. All the arcade games have nearby areas to place your drinks so you can lock in on the games as needed. The collection of games is great and varied, from pinball machines and Japanese rhythm games to classic arcade games like Q*bert, Donkey Kong, Tetris, and more. There are racing games, Guitar Hero Arcade, rail shooters, Pop-A-Shot, skee ball, and plenty of other options. I enjoy that most of the people moving around Cidercade feel pretty sophisticated and do not get too rowdy like at other bars. Everyone is there to have a good time and chill. All the games are clean, which is crazy knowing how much beer and how many drinks are being consumed around them. A little booze in your system and playing pinball is an amazing experience, and I cannot wait to go back. RIYL: The Y2K center but you were alive in the 2000s.

City skyline view from the boardwalk behind Cidercade

Cidercade is definitely a great spot to go to hangout with friends, date night, or just vibing to great games and cider! I love how you only pay an entry fee of approximately $20 and you get to experience unlimited games for the duration of your visit. Cidercade offers a variety of games ranging from all the classics to modern day arcade games. Always a great time here. The ciders offered are amazing. I personally love the Peach Paradise. The pizza here is also phenomenal (I highly recommend the Meat Lovers). Service here is always friendly and the vibes definitely keep me coming back. The back patio allows you to see the city skyline views of downtown. You can also walk to the boardwalk within a short walk behind Cider Cade, allowing you a better view of the city skyline. Definitely recommend!

We're visiting Austin from the mountains of Western North Carolina and stopped by Cidercade--and had an absolute blast. Tons of games to choose from, all included with the price of admission, which made it easy to relax and play without keeping track of anything. The views of the river and city are gorgeous and really add to the experience. There were lots of fun cider options and a solid food menu (we didn't eat this time, but everything looked great). As you might expect, there were kiddos running around pretty freely--fun energy, but if you're a bit of a germaphobe like me, I'd recommend bringing plenty of hand sanitizer. Overall, such a fun spot, and we really wish we had something like this back home

Paula B.

What a terrific concept, arcade and cider house put into one. Unlimited game play and a right off of the river. Perfect for honestly anyone, kids, families, friends, or couples wanting a day or night out. You can order food and the pizzas are great, plenty of seating both inside and outside to choose from. Tons of games from our childhood plus a bunch of newer arcade games which makes this place standout. We particularly loved the StepManiaX (newer version of DDR including the center button), nidhogg (hilariously competitive and super easy to understand), PBR Perfect Pour (I can't believe this was made into a game but it's enjoyable), bubble bobble, and super Mario kart racing, in addition to all the cool Japanese arcade games. We wish they had this back in Chicago!

Inside

A nice place for many different personalities to go to easy parking lot spacious. Outside balcony patio is available to sit and talk on and I guess if you need to smoke a cigarettes or vape inside is decorated and also playing games you do sometimes have to wait for others to get off before you can get on but a lot of different choices. Most of the time you'll stay busy playing something . bathrooms are available. drinks in the bar is available.. everything gets shut down at 12. All the games will be turned off automatically so just try to find the exit at that time. Pay for your tickets upfront and then go play.

Andy Y.

Visited with some out-of-town guests and everyone had a blast! From adults to small children, you will be occupied with food, drinks, and arcades! For an entry fee of $12, all games were included! They had a great selection of racing, fighting, guitar hero, pinball, hooping, so much more! The drink options were plentiful and even the food options were tasty. A fun atmosphere all-around for all ages. Sit outside at their table with swings as seats while enjoying the view of Austin downtown! We will be back again! Enjoy!

Super fun rhythm game
Aaron M.

Best place to forget all your worries and escape to a virtual world The pizza burrito hits hard, The bottomless soda is great, it's fun here! Love the festive decor and the kind staff, always a pleasure to spend an evening/day here.

Fun patio seating
Natalie G.

One flat cost to play all the arcade games you want?? Yes please!! This place is huge with a ton of games of every variety to choose from most of the games were working and there was so so many games! Food available is pizza and they have soda all you can drink for one price. Although I constantly had to find my son's soda cup he left at different games luckily it wasn't very busy so there wasn't cup confusion.

Christian C.

Cidercade has hundreds of games and unlimited play for 12 bucks, and it's awesome. Sometimes, it's nice to get away from the ticket winning games and enjoy some good ol' classic arcade fun. My son had a blast and it was great experiencing all of the OG games with him. I'm not much of a cider connoisseur, but they did have some fun and tasty drinks. Just a head's up, they switch from all ages to 21+ at 8pm. Cidercade is definitely worth checking out with friends or your kids, or both!

No 80s nights, but that's a decent idea! Feel free to wear your best 80s attire any time.

Do they have Mario Cart here?

I didn't see it. But that doesn't mean they don't have it.

Is $10/unlimited games a special or is this all the time?

Unfortunately there are no TVs to watch anything.

No they are not

Is it $10 for kids too? What ages?

Yes $10 per person - kids and adults. Kids two and older pay.

No, you can just pay admission and go in.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

I'm pretty particular about my pizza, having enjoyed some of the best in Italy, and this is one of my absolute favorite spots in Austin. The dough is fresh & chewy, slightly toasted, topped (in this case) with HOT HONEY & pepperoni - an exciting twist on a comforting classic. NICOLE went & beyond with table service although ordering at the counter makes delivery quite fast whether dining in or out.

Seating is limited enough that you start mentally drafting backup plans the moment you step inside. We ordered the lasagna pizza, which tasted good but was noticeably undercooked -- soft enough that it felt like it needed another round in the oven. And the "lasagna" angle? I'm still trying to decode it. Everything listed as the lasagna components were things a normal pizza already has, so the theme didn't quite land. Overall: good flavor, but execution missed the mark for us. Pro tip: order it to go so you're not stuck awkwardly hovering for a table.

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!

The set up is like a dining hall with long communal tables and a free smaller for seater tables on the boarders as well as outside patio seating. A bit too toasty outside for that.

I got the pizza lunch special which included a side salad, personal pizza and's drink all for $17.95! Talk about a deal! Cesar side salad was simple and's could have used a bit more cheese....and the pizza was good. Only downside was the pepperoni left a lot of grease which made the crust a bit soft.

Overall good experience and I'd be back for sure.

That was a bummer, but it was good enough that I let it thaw and finished it. To be clear, I didn't try the pizza -- I only got dessert. This is based on my limited experience, so take it for what it's worth.

The restaurant is open, good seating, the display of pizza in the case is very appealing and appetizing. Its decor is well done. The pizza has fresh ingredients and tastes great. Crust is perfect. The lasagna was good but I would rather stick with the pizza. Just my taste. I did have the cannolis and compliments to them- they were authentic. Creamy, crispy shell, and the pistachio and chocolate chips were very good. My favorite. I suppose my only complaint was the pizza and lasagna were a little cool. It should have been a little warmer. The other issue which I hope they take note and move right away is the trash for plates and silverware. It is directly next to the fresh silverware and takeout boxes. That caught my attention and it's not a good place for the trash. Definitely plan to come back, it is worth coming and trying all the food items they have.

I've spent my life chasing the perfect crust, comparing everything from the legendary pie shops in Manhattan to the pristine corner slices in Pittsburgh. I didn't think Austin could pull off truly authentic pizza. I was dead wrong. Baldinucci is absolute sorcery. The moment I took a bite of their Roman-style pizza, I was instantly thrown back to the tiny, narrow pizzerias I stumbled into in Italy. It has that exact, hyper-specific airy crunch that is so incredibly hard to replicate outside of Europe. The dough is clearly fermented with patience. It's light, shatteringly crisp on the bottom, and has those beautiful, irregular air pockets that give it a pillowy structure without ever feeling heavy. Let's talk about the sauce, because that's where most places fail. It isn't that sugary, paste-heavy stuff you find at standard joints. It is vibrant, bright, and tastes intensely of sun-ripened tomatoes and clean olive oil. It is remarkably fresco; striking that perfect balance where the acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese without overwhelming the palate. The vibe inside the West Lake spot is casual and unpretentious, but they take their craft seriously. Food service is streamlined and efficient; you order at the counter, and they pop the slices back into the oven so they land at your table screaming hot. The staff is genuinely proud of what they're slinging, and they should be. If you are an East Coast transplant drowning in a sea of mediocre pies, do yourself a favor and get over to West Lake. It's the real deal. PS: The gelato flavors are also sorcery. However, a review of their gelato is for another time. I must continue to savor the pie for now.
