Pulling up for the first time, you might question if you're in the right place since Pizza Haus is located in a firehouse--but trust me, it just adds to the charm. The pizza was ready in just 10-15 minutes, which made the experience even better. By far, this is the best pizza we've ever had. Our favorite is the Jalapeño Popper Pizza--it's creamy, cheesy, and has the perfect kick of spice we can't find anywhere else. The crust is buttery, golden brown, and absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back for more!

The Pizzeria is adjacent to-- and runs in tandem with-- a smokehouse next door. Mh daughter and I don't eat meat, so pizza was the better choice for us. All the tables were full when we arrived, so they seated us at the bar but agreed to seat us at a table when one opened up. We were at a table before it was time to take our food orders. My dad had wedge salad, I had the fungi pizza (minus the cheese), and my daughter had the cheese pizza. --she said it was the best pizza she had ever had. The service was quick, the decor was very "Texas"-- kind of sparse with wooden planks and dim lighting, yet modern-- and the food was great. We would definitely eat here again.

Last night, Vagabond had an amazing win that they weren't even aware of…read more We're friends with a couple who just had their second baby yesterday. The husband is stationed out of Dyess. Neither one of them really knows anything really about what is uniquely available to eat in Abilene. My wife and I were on our way to the hospital after picking up their kid from daycare when we were asked to pick up some dinner. We had offered to get them anything in town to eat while at the hospital. Given how they were new to town, their regular from Dominoes was requested. It was at this point I suggested Vagabond, telling the couple how for years it's been the best. The wife saw the menu and was impressed, eager to try it out. (We ordered 1 Lucia, 1 Carnivore, 2 Crawfish Hand Pies) The order was placed online, right as we left our driveway, I received a text confirming the order, which was followed up 15-20mins later by another one stating it was ready for pickup. It felt fast. As I walked in, I saw the traditional sights: the owner at the front welcoming everyone in, a filled up room with various parties enjoy their food and conversations, a staff working hard and yet ready to serve. I was told by the owner to go up to the bar where my order was waiting for me. I was in and out so quickly that I could feel the warm air coming off the pizza as I took it outside to my car. My one regret was not telling the owner on my way out how this meal would be the first meal for a mom who just gave birth. When I got to the hospital, the food was still warm. When both the mother and father had their first bite of the Lucia, they both had that 'wow' reaction to how amazing the taste was. Everything ordered honestly received a 'wow.' It was perfect. I have had Vagabond ever since they were out of a food trailer. Since then, it has been the place I always bring people to, particularly if they are visiting from out of town. It was the place where my wife and I brought our kid for his first restaurant meal. The consistent experience of it all is simply the best. I don't review places often, but last night was special. Never a bad thing to say thank you to a group of people who unknowingly wowed a father and mother in a hospital room. Thank you.

The last stop during my Abilene day trip was the wood-fire pizzeria Vagabond. We arrived at…read moreVagabond exactly at 6:00 pm, impressed by their cork decor outside the shop. We were immediately greeted by the server and seated just as quickly. The place was pretty busy, as one would expect on a Saturday at 6 pm, so it was great to be seated right away. The table was already set with two water cups, two plates, two sets of silverware, and two napkins, so we didn't have to set the area ourselves. Our server came shortly after with a large glass bottle of water and took our drink orders. My girlfriend got a bottled Dr. Pepper while I stuck to water. I also noticed they serve plenty of wines as well as a good selection of craft beers. They have ten different specialty pizzas, and we settled on their most expensive: the Carnivore. I say most expensive, but it was $20 for a pizza that fed two. It took about 10-15 minutes before the pizza came out, which is impressively fast. All pizzas are about 12 inches and are sliced into sixes. If you're hungry, consider an appetizer or a dessert, but to us, it was a perfect size with plenty of meat. The crust is thin and crispy, as one would expect from a wood-fire pizza. It was really excellent. For dessert, my girlfriend and I ordered their Saturday Morning Cartoons, which is a panna cotta with Fruity Pebbles that I enjoyed but she adored (I let her eat most of it). All in all, the meal was around $30 plus the tip I added. We were in and out in under 40 minutes, which was quite impressive for a sit-down pizza restaurant. I highly recommend this to anyone living in or visiting Abilene. P.S. My girlfriend wanted my Yelp review to note that their women's bathroom has hair ties, bobby pins, a Tide pen, and other items that you never know you'll need until you do, which gives Vagabond extra brownie points for going above and beyond. RIYL: An affordable meal for two.

It's time to update my review again. Brick Oven has made me really go back and forth on my opinion…read moreof them over the years. Is it the best pizza I've ever had, no. Although, it's a unique spot that a lot of people enjoy. A crisp, crunchy crust with fresh toppings! I still love their quesadillas! Really happy with their salad portion size and the almonds as an addition to the house salad. Price for the portion size and quality of their pizzas is still out of range in my opinion. I've had a lot of mixed feeling about their food over the years, and usually don't feel inclined to go back. Our waitress brought our check at the beginning of our meal and to go boxes as well, which is proactive of course, but we felt rushed and confused. We never got to even state that our checks were separate, not together. Our appetizer was brought after we received our meal which was stated to be a mishap with a new chef, but we were not asked if we even wanted it at that point. We were also charged the full price instead of the lunch menu price for it as it should've been. Honestly, it would've been honorary to not be charged for it at all under the circumstances. It was just strange. We all have our off days, but it just added to my distaste for Brick Oven. I wish I had a consistently great experience with them! Here's to hoping for better experiences! Maybe it's just not my cup of tea.

A hidden gem in Abilene! Never in a million years did I expect to find such great pizza in…read moreAbilene, Texas! We started with the spicy sticks as an appetizer. They were so good that I didn't have a chance to take a picture. These are breadsticks with jalapeños (just the right amount), mozzarella, garlic butter and Parmesan Romano cheese. They are served warm and toasty and with the perfect amount of flavor and spice. The pizza was the "Bubba's" all meat pizza. The crust was a perfectly thin and crispy one that allowed for the variety of meat. Often times, the crust becomes soggy with all the meat, but not here. It was a 10/10 for sure! This was our first time here, so not sure how busy it normally is, but it was very busy this early evening. We waited 5-10 minutes before anyone noticed we were seated and then a few more minutes to get drinks, but nothing to write a negative review over. The food was worth any wait.

My only quibble might be that parking was a bit tighter than expected, but not a problem. Great place overall, and we were discussing how we might find an excuse to return, plus wishing a branch would open closer to Houston.
