Always fast and reliable, Home Slice (on a good day) is one of the best spots in Austin for a New York slice. It has been hit or miss in the past (which is why I'm giving 4, not 5 stars), but when you get a nice hot slice w/ crispy airy crust, on a nice day on South Congress, it's tough to beat. I always enjoy the classic pepperoni, but the white pie has an enjoyable garlicky flavor as well They're also super fast & efficient. After you order, find a spot at a picnic table just outside (feel free to make some new friends ) then wait just a few minutes for one of the servers to call your name and bring your pie right to you. Pro tip: if there's a long line outside, go inside to order; the menu is the same. The other day I tried the Italian sub, which is often touted as one of the best sandwiches in Austin. I got the full "12-inch" version, but wow, this thing was probably closer to 16+ inches. And they did not skimp on toppings: all the classics ham, various salamis, capicola, provolone, heaps of shredded lettuce, fresh tomato, red onion, oil/vinegar, mayo. The bread is a really good bread that can stand up to a sandwich like this, sort of like a Dutch crunch but no crunch on top. My 1 complaint: too much mayo. Unless you're a big mayo fan, I'd suggest ordering w/ no mayo. There's plenty of moisture from the other ingredients. While you're eating, the Home Slice patio is a great place to people watch. read more

This was recommended as the best Italian sub in Austin?! They want $18 ($12 for half) and this thing is just smothered soaked in mayo!!!! Italian subs have oil and vinegar, NOT mayo. This sandwich is really not good. No cheese? No roasted red peppers? No prosciutto? There's so little amount of meat and if there is cheese I can't find it. They lost me with the mayo that is piled on disgustingly high making this more of a lettuce mayo sandwich. I'd be more forgiving if their prices were reasonable but they charge way more than any gourmet sandwich shop in nyc and this sandwich can't even compare to a $7 bodega one! Pizza is bland, dry and overpriced. I asked for extra sauce on the pizza but request was ignored. Very disappointing this came to $46 to be delivered. Highway robbery. read more

Home Slice has like 50,000 reviews telling you it's great so I don't think mine is necessary, but also... who asked? Indeed, it is great. My bf and I got three slices of pizza between the two of us (one cheese, one pepperoni, and one margarita) and all three tasted great. The place was crowded as get all, but the service was prompt and we had our pizza in no time. Solid 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking for reasonably priced tasty food in the SoCo area. read more

Amazing pizza, fast service and great location. Highly recommend home slice pizza if you're in the area

Rating pizza based on 5 criterias: 1. Price: $4-5 for a large slice. Yes worth it. I ate 2 slices and felt 'satisfied' full. - Rating 5/5 2. Crust: Thin, NY style crust pizza with no real outer 'crust.' The Sicilian pizza was a light focaccia type bread (much lighter than Detroit pizza). The reason why I am knocking off a star was because the pizza was sitting there and they warm it up in the oven before serving, and my 2 slices were harder than I would've like. - Rating: 4/5 3. Sauce: Light and almost nonexistent - Rating 2/5 4. Cheese: Light and 'no cheese pull' - Rating: 2/5 5. Freshness of toppings: juicy, diced tomatoes and fresh chopped basil (not dry basil flakes) on the pizza that had toppings - Rating 5/5 Overall, for quick cheap eats I would be back but it wasn't something to rave about. read more

Service was absolutely incredible! Everyone was so helpful and pleasant! I'm a little bit of a pizza snob, frequenting New York and this pizza was decent but fell a little short. Missing some flavor but I may give it another try. 90% of seating is outside and they do have misting fans for the heat! read more

excellent family environment speedy and fresh pizza! The service was great although the server could have interacted a bit more.

We had home slice, by way of doordash, for dinner tonight and enjoyed it. This was by far some of the better cheese pizza I've had, and my friends agreed this was good quality pizza. The pepperoni pizza was good too. We would eat from here again. read more

Home Slice Pizza - Large pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came here on a weekend trip to Austin and debated coming here a second time within the weekend, but we just didn't have the time... There is an indoor, dine-in restaurant but I just experienced the walk up window and outdoor seating. I wish they had a bit more of a private, nicer patio outside since it was just picnic tables in the street with not a lot of lighting, but it was still nice. I believe the outdoor experience was a lot faster than the indoor dine-in would've been. We order pizzas by the slice. They always have cheese, pepperoni, and margherita by the slice (as well as a special). We tried all three - all were good, but the margherita was by far my favorite, as it had tons of flavor - get it if you're a big garlic fan! But also - don't sleep on the sandwiches! Hot and cold! The Italian sub was the group favorite, but I personally really liked the meatball sub... yummy bread, sauce, cheese, meat... what's not to love?! read more

Every time I'm in the mood for a tasty pizza I think of Home Slice. Everything is always delicious. Street parking on or right off Congress can be found. You can get your order curbside on the go on Congress or dine inside. This time I dined inside with a friend of mine who hadn't been before. Service is good and the atmosphere is cozy. I love the dough!! So well done. It has the right amount of chewy texture where the crust is perfect and the cheese and other toppings are done to perfection. It's still a bit of old Austin here and the prices are right as well. It gets busy so finding a seat may be a bit of a wait but not bad. You can order a drink and wait outside at one of the tables or sit on the curb. They come and out call your name when your table or order is ready. Dine in or take away. You won't be disappointed! read more

Home Slice Pizza - Another amazing slice of Home Slice Pizza #1 Margherita - Medium - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

As we walked up to the menu on a hot Memorial Day weekend, they had fans blowing mist to cool down. As we stood there cooling off we saw a menu and began to narrow down our options. They call out your name to go pick your food up. As I got up the lady saw it was just me and helped me with the plates of food. Excellent service! Delicious pizza! read more

I've been coming to Homeslice for years-the quality is still great. We ordered 2 slices of pizza and a half salad (which was the perf size for 2 people. Pizza tastes crunchy and hot, like they just warmed it up for us fresh. Between the pepperoni & margherita, I'd definitely get the pepperoni next time. Ambiance was nice and intimate; the lighting is dim and has candlelights on each table. Our bill was less than $20 for a quick lunch. Our waitress was super sweet and made us have a more personal experience. 10/10 experience every time. read more

3.5/5 I was excited to try a slice after a whole lot of hype. I was expecting a solid new york style slice. We got the pepperoni with cherry peppers, and sadly I wasn't impressed with the sauce, the crust, or the cheese. All three of the most important ingredients were average. Very blatant "meh." I was hoping for more, but maybe we hit their oven on an off day. read more

Such a great spot!!!! ask for a dough plate to play with it is so silly and fun and FREE!

Home Slice is definitely an Austin icon worth visiting. The venue hasn't changed in the years I've been. It's a dark diner like pizza spot and it's pretty perfect. We came for lunch on Christmas Eve and it was with every minute of the drive up. We had come up a few weeks before as well and again, worth the drive. My favorite is the pear and gorgonzola salad. It's just a perfect salad on its own, but even better paired with a giant slice of pizza. It's crispy pears, walnuts, gorgonzola crumbles, and greens tossed with a tangy vinaigrette. Lessons learned from the previous visit. We ordered a large salad to share and two slices of pizza vs ordering a large pizza and small salad. I know that the latter is still a huge win, but it's uncomfortable because you can't stop. It's just too good. The pizza seems to be perfect all the time. Perfect crispiness, perfect sauce to pepperoni to cheese ratio, perfect all around. The service is friendly and chill, as you would expect from Austin. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!! read more

This place makes the best pizza I have had in Austin. They are tasty and not too oily. I enjoy the margherita that has a nice balance of fattiness and acidity. The white pie with spinach and mushroom+ ricotta was good too. The sausage slice was a little too oily for me. The space was dimly lit, I enjoy the atmosphere at 10pm on a Thursday night. Staffs were pleasant. Would def come back!! read more

Stopped by for a quick slice before dinner and home slice was the perfect snack. It was around 5:45 pm and there was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. Slices range from $4.25-$5 which is a bit pricey but remember you're on Congress. You can get cheese, pepperoni or margherita slices. There are a number of picnic tables but definitely busy so you may have to ask a nice stranger to share with you. Pizza came out fast and was very tasty. Pretty good portion. I'd say this is a great place for a snack. read more

Food (4/5 stars): Home Slice Pizza is a popular pizza spot in Austin, specifically the SoCo (South Congress) area. We ordered Margherita and White with Broccoli and weren't too thrilled with our slices. I was hoping for both of them to be saucier. Given its popularity, I'm sure that we would've liked it a lot more if we ordered different slices. I'd go with a standard Cheese or Pepperoni! Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: kinda pricey * Wait Time: not too bad on a Monday during lunch * Service: good and friendly * Ambiance: we went to the carry out window. The murals and outdoor seating were nice! read more

We walking the SOCO strip on a busy Sunday afternoon. It was great for people watching but what about our growing hunger?! Pizza sounded great, but the lines...and would we be lucky enough to find a place to sit. I was impressed with Yelp reviews so asked hubby to wait in line while I scoped out the tables. He asked, "What do you want?" I said, "Pick any two!" I asked a couple of we could shard their picnic table and they agreed. Whew! The orders were cheerfully called out by staff and the wait wasn't long. I am picky about my pizza and I was pleased with our food. read more

Nice crust. Good flavor. Workers friendly and helpful. A long drive for us but worth it!

Okay so I've never found a pizza joint to have such high reviews and tons of reviews, like pizza is just that, pizza. Not this place !! I'll be honest we went there and parking sucks but it's not their fault. I think even if they had a huge parking lot, it would be filled because the pizza is that good. Family of 5 and we all loved the pizza but the prices. Sheesh, 27 dollars for a "large" pepperoni pizza. It was 8 slices and I also got 2 more mushroom and pepperoni slices. For about $40 we each got 2 slices. Damn that's expensive. I will say it's worth a slice to say you had it but I can't imagine if you wanted their pizza for a pizza party. read more

Great pizza. Service is nice. Great location on South congress. Will return if I'm around craving pizza.

1st off...Home Slice is a local icon, but their food is equally Iconic! You are probably coming for pizza but the Italian Sub is literally EPIC. Dont get me wrong the pizza truly is amazing but if you're looking for something other than pizza. This sub is hands-down the best in town! Meatball sub...i know what you're already thinking...it sounds messy but its not. The Meatballs are sliced up for easier consumption. Flavor is spectacular. Now back to pizza. #1 is White clam pizza not to be confused with the White pizza. It's unique. It's delicious. And it's one of a kind. #2 is Pepperoni pizza. Its simple, to the point. Easy. Delicious. Service is good & fairly quick even if the restaurant is packed. read more

Needed a slice late at night and this place came through. They have a sit down dine in spot and a quick stand up order and take away spot. The pizza was great. Wish we had a few more options but the basic pepperoni was great and hit the spot. Didn't have Diet Coke tho. The wife liked her margarita slice. Lots of seating. Cool spot. read more

OMG so good. I could smell this pizza shop on my way to Willie mural. This was so good for the soul. Tasty thin slice of heaven. They have an outdoor take out and ordering inside as well. The mushroom pepperoni slice I had was delicious. I could eat a whole pie of this. It was nice warm, they had the system down pat. Took our orders and served the pizza hot and fresh. I definitely want to order from Home Slice again and get try their other pies. Definitely make this a stop in Austin if you are here especially because it's so convenient to the Willie mural and the Before I Die Wall. read more

This was the first place my friend recommended once she found out we were staying right behind Congress Ave, she said it's her favorite pizza place in Austin. Once we got into town and all settled in, we were starving, so we walked over here for some food. Love that they sell pizza by the slice so you can get your food fast! We decided to split three pieces since we couldn't decide on which ones to order - why not all of them! They actually had five selections when we visited, but the White Spinach, Pepperoni, and Meatball with Peppers sounded best. We sat on a bench outside and our slices were brought out in moments. Loved that they sliced them in half for us so we could share them easier. Super tasty, fresh, pizza! Husband said it's some of the best NY style he's ever had. This was a great, cheap, quick meal. read more

Perfect spot for a low key lunch. All of the staff were great, and the cooks in back were enjoying their work. It made for a great atmosphere. Pizza came out hot and delicious. And, it would be hard to beat the value. Large specialty slice and a beer for less than $10 (after tax, before tip). Make sure to leave downtown and check out SoCo. Just a traveller killing time. Cheers. read more

Austin's Crown Jewel of Pizza! Home Slice Pizza is an Austin institution in a city celebrated for its mastery of barbecue, rivaling the local legends'. As a Brooklyn native, where pizza is the lifeblood of culinary existence, I've found a slice of home in the heart of Texas. Home Slice isn't just making pizza; they offer a pizza experience that's uniquely Austin while rivaling the best of New York. The smell of fresh pizza greets you the moment you step inside. The crust at Home Slice is perfectly crisp and consistently holds up to the fold test with most toppings. While their classic pies are always excellent, my favorite combinations are the eggplant ricotta (custom order) and the Sicilian (available in plain and with pepperoni on Mondays and Thursdays). Beyond pizza, Home Slice serves up an impressive array of calzones, salads, and subs, both hot and cold; while all of the subs and salads I've tried are great, my favorites are the Italian assorted with hot cherry peppers and Greek salad. The Home Slice staff is always friendly and attentive; they offer indoor and outdoor seating and free refills on fountain drinks by Maine Root, an Austin-based craft soda maker. Home Slice Pizza is more than just a restaurant; it's a cornerstone of Austin's culinary landscape, deserving of its status as a MUST-VISIT pizza cathedral. As essential as any of Austin's famous barbecue and music spots. Pro tip: order your pizza extra crispy and get the giant house-made rice crispy treat for dessert. read more

I've only been to Austin twice and both times I landed at Home Slice Pizza. In a land of BBQ and tacos, a good slice was a welcome change of pace.

Will definitely return. read more
