One of my favorite things in life is pizza, and Home Slice makes some of the best pizzas in town. Period. It's the fermented crust, olive oil, sauce and cheese that makes it so good. Pepperoni and mushroom is practically perfect. A plain cheese slice is heavenly. BUT. Have you tried the hot and cold subs? The turkey sub with hot cherry peppers is extremely satisfying. The Italian sub will transport you to the East coast. And save room for dessert; the tiramisu is decadent and one of the best in town. read more

This place was so fucking good godamn! Umm, the staff was all hella nice and service was good. The garlic knots hit. The marina that came with them was really yum, tasted fresh. Caesar salad was good. Pizza was fire. We got a white pizza w half sausage for my friend (the omnivore). I love White pizza so I got no complaints. My omnivore friend thinks you guys should offer hot honey but she was given normal honey and found that sufficient. We sat on back patio and the area was spacious and shaded. Good food and good vibes, when I move here I will definitely come back ! read more

There is plenty of nearby street parking (paid) and you can even visit the before I die wall close by. You can order slices from the outside window or from inside. Slices come out fast and fresh. There are picnic tables outside though you may end up sharing a table with strangers. Pizza was good. Decent New York style. Not greasy. Large sized. Good cheese to sauce to bread ratio. Would eat again. read more

I'll be honest, this didn't hit the mark. It was a recommended spot so I was excited to try it, and since it was our first time we decided to order all the vegetarian slices as my friend is vegetarian. We asked for them well done, but overall they just felt mediocre and nothing special. I've definitely had much better margherita slices before, and the vegan slice's cheese just didn't taste the best. Probably wouldn't come back, especially with so many other pizza options in Austin. read more

So when there is pizza in the name of the restaurant, you would think to order pizza. But I went off-course and ordered the Italian sandwich. I'm so pleased I did. It was awesome. Home made sesame seed bun. It was listed under cold sandwiches but when it arrived the exterior of the bread was toasted and warm. The meats were piled well and the toppings were fresh. It was really good. I also had some pizza that was very good but the sandwich stole the show. 6" will satiate most people with 12" good for two. The decor was good with dim lights and that Italy feel. Bottles of wine lining the bar made me want a carafe. Only negative is they could use real wine glasses instead of water glasses but now I'm being too particular. House wine was fine. Service was good - we were well tended to. Double thumbs up. read more

I normally never leave reviews, good or bad, but my experience today was so disappointing that I felt like I had to say something. The customer service was honestly the worst part of my visit. The woman working at the counter was extremely rude and made me feel like I was inconveniencing her just by placing an order. She spoke to me with an attitude, seemed impatient whenever I asked a question, and made the whole experience uncomfortable. I've worked in customer service before and understand that everyone has bad days, which is why I usually don't leave reviews. But this interaction stood out enough that I felt compelled to write one. A little kindness and professionalism go a long way, and unfortunately neither was present during my visit. The pizza may have been fine, but the service left such a negative impression that I'm not sure I'll be coming back. read more

We absolutely love home slice and come here every time we are in Austin! All the pizzas have been so good! The veggie and Margherita pizza are our faves. The pizza is on the thin side and not crunchy if that's what you're looking for this isn't it. We love this location and park at the church down the street. It was free parking there before but it's now paid parking or donation. If you want to sit down and eat inside there is a location right next door that has an inside with tables and you order. We just like the outside seating and getting to take in all that Austin is. read more

I've heard a lot of people rave about the Italian sandwich here, so I had to try it for myself. We ordered three things: the Italian cold sub with hot cherry peppers, a pepperoni and cherry pepper pizza, and the eggplant pie pizza. Out of those items, the eggplant pie was easily my favorite. It is one of the more unique pizza toppings I've had, and the breading on the eggplant was delicious. The pizzas were solid overall, but the pepperoni one wasn't anything special. The sub was good but not great in my opinion. The highlights were the incredible bread and the sheer size. I don't think the picture convey how absolutely massive this sandwich is. They definitely didn't skimp out on the toppings. However, I prefer more acid on my subs to balance out all the salty, fatty meats and cheeses. The menu says there is a vinegar dressing on the sub, but I couldn't taste it at all. The servers were nice, but they accidentally brought us the wrong sandwich at first. The inside is much darker than I expected, but it created a nice ambiance that would be perfect for a date night. I would recommend this place if you're already exploring South Congress, but I wouldn't go out of my way to try this place again. read more

I'm not totally obsessed with pizza and am never the friend who'll recommend a pizza night. I'm very particular about how I like my pizza! Home Slice nails it, it's a solid, straightforward giant floppy delicious pizza like you'll find in New York. I'm a big fan of getting their pepperoni pizza by the slice. I've only been to their South Congress location, which is split between an indoor sit down establishment and a neighboring more "grab and go" style with some outdoor seating. They're pretty quick and the place has a true Austin vibe. Chill, friendly, and no frills pizza. read more

Walking around Austin is so much fun when you're in the mood for something crispy light and absolutely delicious. You walk into home slice of pizza. It is so cute inside. Everybody is so friendly they give you a little bit of help on what to order but we were just in the mood for a nice crispy slice of pizza. The service was excellent. I got to watch them make the pizza,, so many pieces were being made at the same time. It was amazing how clean, organized, and friendly everybody was. Our slices were delivered to us, and as soon as you picked it up, you looked at the crispiness , the sauce was not overpowering. The flavor was delicious you took that bite and crunch batches hit a flavor taste of buds, but I will never forget! I had the pleasure of talking with Jasmine and she was so much fun. We talked about the rice crispy treats. They were huge and they made fresh right there in the restaurant. Until my next visit to Austin, keep crunching and making those incredible pizzas. read more

Not sure if all the burgers are always cooked well-done, but that's how ours were made (and was never asked if I wanted otherwise). Also ordered a side of fried plantains that came with a small cup of ketchup. They were harder than I was expecting, and not to salted. Next time I think I'd just order the fries. Waited at the window to order for several minutes while the guy took a phone call, then had a hard time hearing him take my order since he was still on his call and had his mask on (pandemic issues...and maybe this is where he asked how I wanted my burgers cooked?? Who knows, couldn't hear him!). Then it took awhile for the order to come out. By the time I got the food and back to our table, our friends had already purchased and eaten their food from other food trucks, so that was a bummer. Good option if you're in the food truck park. Just be prepared to spend time waiting to order and get your food. Tip: ask if you can have your burger cooked medium or medium rare. If you prefer it that way, of course.

Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything.

They have a charming back patio, where you can savor your favorite drink and appetizers while eagerly awaiting your pizza creation. Speaking of which, let's talk about the star of the show - their build-your-own-pizza. I decided to get adventurous with my taste buds and went for a unique combination of flavors.

Each ingredient was remarkably fresh, and every bite was an explosion of mouthwatering goodness. The folks at Home Slice Pizza take their craft seriously, and their dedication shows in every pizza they create.

However, I might have to head back to Home Slice Pizza soon because those tees are seriously adorable, and I don't think I can resist much longer!

It's a tantalizing experience that captures the essence of deliciousness, with every bite leaving you in awe of their culinary expertise. read more

Home Cut Pizza off South Congress is Austin is a New York style pizzeria that might be comparable to the pizza in New York City. Wow, starting with the crust, this was some of the best pizza I've ever had. My Rating as a Whole: 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) The atmosphere at Home Slice Pizza is dim, cozy, and there will be a wait if you come during busy times. In Home Space, there is a section just for taking things out. Although there is outdoor seating in this area, I dined inside the restaurant, which reminded me of a New York City pizza joint. Dark, cramped, with a bar right next to it and professional pizza makers tossing dough in the kitchen. The best part is the background aroma of garlic knots baking. Our server provided excellent service. Despite the fact that downtown Austin is a haven for hipsters, I was dining with my kids and felt very at ease. He checked on us numerous times, was attentive, and overall was excellent. 1 Star. Food: As soon as you step inside, the incredible aromas of baking garlic knots will have you spellbound. There are four knots included in one order, but they can be added via cart. I like to dip the hot, soft garlic knots in the marinara sauce after peeling them. I additionally requested the caprese. Not great, but not terrible. Be that as it may, I was hanging around for pizza. Let me also say that the crust is a must. I ordered an olive oil-based white pizza with pepperoni and spinach on one side. The real star of this dish is the crust. It held up well and was crispy. It wasn't necessary for me to do the NY fold when I took a bite of my pizza. A bonus is that popular pizzas can be ordered by the slice (such as the cheese pizza). Perhaps the best New York City style pizza in Texas. 2 Stars. Will I Come Back? - Yes. Every time I visit Austin, I think I will go to Home Slice. That much is good. The menu has so much more to offer that the next time I'm in town, I might have to go back multiple times. 1 Star. read more

Very good NY style pizza. Probably the best version I have found here in Austin. The sicilian style pizza they occasionally have on offer is sometimes good and sometimes not so much. The last time I ordered a slice of it I got something dried out that had zero cheese on it. That wasn't so fun. I ordered a whole sicilian to go once and got a long speech on why I couldn't have it half cheese half pepperoni and also why they could not add any extra cheese to the pie under any circumstanmces. It was very long winded but the upshot was that it's just so good and they refined their recipe over time so they know absolutely nothing needs to be added. And that's why I couldn't get extra cheese to ensure I didn't end up with another dry cheeseless slice. I wanted to skip the order entirely after that lengthy pompous exchange (which honestly made me think they must get it frozen and that's why they can't change it) but there were other people counting on the food that night so I just let it go. Luckily the cheese pizza that came was actually quite tasty and had actual cheese on it so I was less annoyed after eating something. Sadly, 2 weeks later when we ordered a pepperoni sicilian it was again barely cheesed and was not particularly tasty. So it seems like maybe the rest of the staff could use a refresher course on the perfect recipe I was lectured on as they don't seem to be very consistent with the quality. I;m going back to regular slices since they seem pretty clear on how to consistently make those well. Salads there are also good. If you want a calzone call ahead - unlike a real NY pizzeria this place will make you wait 20-30 minutes for one of these treats, which may be worth it but who wants to sit foodless while the rest of your party enjoys ready made slices? read more

As someone new to Austin, I was excited to try out the city's culinary offerings, and I stumbled upon Home Slice Pizza. I was immediately drawn to the fresh aroma of pizza wafting from the restaurant, and the old-fashioned exterior only added to the charm. Upon entering, I found the interior to be on the small side and quite noisy, but my group was quickly seated and attended to by our friendly and attentive waiter, Roy. We ordered the margarita and pepperoni and sausage pizzas, both of which were good but didn't quite blow us away. While the pizzas were hearty, they didn't have that "wow" factor that we were hoping for. The inside of the restaurant was tastefully decorated with wine bottles adorning the walls and artwork that added to the lively and welcoming atmosphere. Initially, the strong scent of pizza was overwhelming, and it took some time to adjust to, but the overall experience was pleasant. The only standout dish was the ranch dressing, which was surprisingly delightful when paired with the pizza. I don't typically dip my pizza in ranch, but I had a feeling about this one, and I was not disappointed. Overall, I rate Home Slice Pizza a 4.5 out of 5. While the decor could use some refreshing, everything else was fantastic. The friendly service, delicious pizza (especially when paired with the ranch dressing), and lively atmosphere make it a great spot to grab a meal in Austin. A special shoutout to our waiter, Roy, for his excellent service! read more

Best pizza in atx. Thin crust that is just right on moisture, garlicy smell, and consistently crispy goodness. The sauce is good, toppings are right on and gourmey-ish, and somehow manage to serve non-greasy pepperoni pizza (i did not know it existed). Servers are always friendly, but really small interior, cool but fly infested patio/outdoor seating in the rear. Now drawbacks, -minus .70 stars b/c no jalapenos served...wtf? ok i understand you are trying to be brooklyn/williamsburg type of place, but we are in Texas. Mushrooms, pepperoni, jalapenos are the staple of good pizza for my taste.... I put jalapenos on just about everything, and pizza without jalapenos is like tacos without hot sauce... still good, but not quite as good. they do offer sliced peppers... but just not the same... Minus .05 stars, if home slice used a wood fired oven/charcoal oven, how much better would it taste? Not quite sure, thus the minimal deduction. Minus .25 stars because this place is too popular to where there's always a wait.... quick solution, find a barstool.... first come first serve.... although last time i was told the wait was an hour and half but got a table within 20 minutes. So grab a peroni, or brooklyn beer, people watch and wait for your table, bc this is the best pizza in Austin, and that's a bold statement considering they don't have jalapenos... read more

Once upon a time, I bought a slice of sausage garlic pizza to-go from More Home Slice. I took a bite, fell in love, and accidentally dropped it on the floor. My mama always told me "don't cry over dropped pizza," so I picked it off the ground and continued to eat. That may sound gross, but it still tasted heavenly and I didn't die. I lived to tell the tale and eat another slice. I visited the full-service Home Slice this week. I got another sausage garlic and also the #4: spinach, roasted red peppers, green olives, and onions. If you are a garlic freak like me, you will love the sausage garlic. It's so much more savory than your typical sausage pizza and is definitely worth eating off the floor (although you should keep it on your plate or in your belly if at all possible). I didn't think I would enjoy the #4 because I'm a meat lover, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was super flavorful and the spinach wasn't burnt or soggy. It tasted like they sauteed some of the veggies before putting it on the pizza. If you're going to eat a veggie pizza, eat this one. The outdoor seating area is great for larger groups. It's shaded and has fans to cool you down or blow your hair if you're tryna take an extra Instagrammable pic with your pizza. Follow @rogerlamchop on Instagram for more food recs! read more

Literally the best pizza I have ever had! When my husband and I were thinking of moving here we went to Home Slice when we came to visit and we have fond memories from that time. We have continued to go after having lived here for 6 years. There are so many amazing restaurants in Austin we typically don't go to restaurants more than once. Especially restaurants on Congress Street which is notorious for being overcrowded with tourists. So us braving the traffic and tourists all while in the midst of the downtown mania shows you how much we love this pizza. The crust is crispy and is cooked in a real pizza oven. The cheese is high quality you can tell, it tastes fresh and amazing. The cheese they top it with is just the right mix of cheeses. It's just salty enough and the sauce isn't too sweet and it's just the right amount of it. I normally get a cheese pizza with garlic on top. The garlic is chopped to just the right size where it blends seamlessly with the texture of the pizza and doesn't overpower it. The atmosphere there is amazing! The lights are dimmed and its a very romantic atmosphere, great for date night. The outside has a fence completely made of old doors and lots of cute Austin-y decor. Also, there is a very nice outside patio area to eat outside when it's nice. read more

This restaurant is one all other restaurants can take some tips from. I enjoy pizza probably way more than I should and from the moment we walked in the hostess was extremely personable and gave us her perspective in regards to what was great in her eyes. There was a 30 minute wait but it was late on a Saturday, regardless the bar and waiting area in the back was quite spacious. The bartender in the back was equally as knowledgeable with IPAs and pizza. Again very friendly and exactly how I expect to be treated, the wait ended up being only around 15 minutes. The pizza was fantastic the server was good, friendly, but not fantastic, it took a while for him to come back but nothing that ruined the evening. My entire time there from a service and food perspective was great and easily deserving of a 5 out of 5 stars. I would come back here every time I went to Austin if pizza wasn't so deliciously unhealthy... but regardless if you at like pizza check out Homeslice Pizza! read more

By far the best pizza in Austin! I DID grow up in NYC and this is truly NY Pizza. I know that they take their employees to NYC to taste pizza so they know what they're going for and it comes through in the quality of the crust, the cheese and sauce. It's all just right, too often here in TX pizza's are just overloaded with cheese and the crust is soggy-never the case with HS. The only downside is the waits are long- I called for a pie on Saturday night and they said it would be 2 and half hours! It's impossible to eat in most nights but lunch time is nice. I haven't been since the recent expansion so this may have improved. Take it from someone who spent 30 years arguing St Marks vs Ray's Famous VS Famous Rays...Home Slice is better than all of them, hands down. I would recommended the #6 with Ricotta and Sausage or the classic mushrooms and peperoni- you can't go wrong here, just be prepared to wait. Oh and the ceasar dressing has anchovies..mmmm read more

I recently visited Home Slice Pizza, and let me just say, it was hands down one of the best pizza experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the comforting aroma of freshly baked dough and the warmest welcome from the staff. The menu has an impressive range of pizzas, with something to suit every taste. I ordered the Pepperoni and a specialty pizza topped with truffle oil and wild mushrooms, and both were out of this world. The crust was perfection--thin, crispy on the edges, and delightfully chewy on the inside. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and it was obvious they use high-quality toppings. I was also recommended the Italian Sub and that too was out of this world. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, making it perfect for a date night or gathering with friends. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. read more

This place is fahhkkin' incredible. Keep it simple with pepperoni and mushroom pizza or the margherita pizza. The crust is cooked to a crispy and tender consistency (no floppage) that would impress pizza snobs from Manhattan or Naples. The sauce is divine. It has the perfect balance of a little sweet and a little savory. The pepperonis they put on these pies are crisped over just right and the whole milk mozzarella is of the highest quality. 10 out of 10, 5 stars.... its just f*$kin' good pizza okay!? IMPORTANT MUST READ: Please steer clear of the building next door to the original Homeslice that claims to be serving up the same product. The slices over there are floppy and very inconsistent. Go to the spot where they got the rep for being known as the Queen of Pies in Austin, TX. GO TO THE ORIGINAL! You won't regret it! read more

Came here because who can say no to pizza after a night of debauchery?! Not this gal. Got here and man was it packed. The parking situation isn't great because there's very limited parking. I got lucky and a take out spot (15 minute max) was open. I love that they offer pizza by the slice or a whole pie! Got a take out order of two slices to go. I got a slice Pepperoni and mushroom and margherita. In crust we trust! The margherita pizza was TO DIE FOR. So so so so bomb! I highly recommend! The pepperoni and mushroom slice was good too, but I reallly preferred the margherita. I can't wait to try the other flavor combinations! Service was great and despite there being lots of patrons, the woman who helped me place my order was super nice and patient with me. Wait time for my pizza was minimal, so this place gets my vote! read more

Home Slice is definitely a great Austin staple. As everyone says, there is usually a long wait line, but I think the wait is worth it. The pizza is always divine-- my favorite is pepperoni and mushroom, especially since it's also topped with fresh basil. The drinks and salads are also good. I have to rave about the service here. The staff is fantastic -- really friendly and personal! Once, I ordered a slice, and they gave me an extra slice at no cost because they felt my first one was "too small" (it was actually quite big!). There was another occasion when my friends and I ordered a whole pie and forgot to specify the size we wanted, so our server brought us a Large and charged us for a Medium. So nice of them, amiright? Atmosphere inside the restaurant is cozy and dimly lit. Just really great. read more

I haven't heard of a clam pizza from other pizza places. I haven't heard of crusty dough and the greasiness of a fine New York thin-crust pie down in the south. And I definitely haven't heard of such lines for pizza. Yet something about Home Slice makes it distinctly spectacular. You can get almost anything on your pizza, and they'll make it perfectly. The only complaint I have is that the clam pizza sometimes had pieces of shell in it, but it's clams, so obviously that's a possibility. I haven't been here a lot, but do know that getting a take-out order will greatly benefit you - the lines here can be around an hour. Take the pizza and then go out to a park or someplace else. This establishment was started as a small place, and now they get so many customers that you'll never find a place to sit. read more

Poor Service -Extremely Disappointed!!! We were in Austin for the first time and were told this was a great place to grab some pizza. We checked in with hostess who said it would be 30-45 min wait. We decided to wait patiently although we had 3 children that were HUNGRY!!! After waiting an hour we asked hostess how much longer. They proceeded to tell us it would be another 45 mins. When we questioned them on the extended time, they tried to act like we were wrong and that our wait time had always been 85 mins. (Even though this was a new hostess from the one that originally checked us in) So if you are interested in waiting hours on a slice of pizza, maybe you will enjoy. But not me. Never again! Poor customer service on all fronts. read more

There sure are a lot of great reviews for this place, and I couldn't agree with them all more!! I loved how large their pizza slices were, and the cheese pizza was simple yet delicious. The long lines and lack of sitting areas available sure does stink, but with how great the pizza is, I don't mind! The crust is thin, and the pizza is thin, but it reminds me of my home New York style pizza, and it's hard to find good New York style pizza in Texas! If you happen to be on Congress and are looking for something easy and quick to eat, I would definitely recommend going here! I know there are a lot of places that offer pizza around Austin, but the history and taste of Home Slice Pizza is different and worth going to for me! read more

I thought I died and went to Brooklyn if not Long Island... There isn't one thing on the menu that doesn't remind me of home.. Not to mention the entire abidance... home everywhere I turned.. from the flipping of the pies.. to the luncheonette counter.. right down to everyone just being so friendly.. and I mean customers also..

One of the best popular pizzas in the city. The place was awesome and very chill to dine in for pizza. It was a comfortably great experience and this place gets so busy sometimes but always served a very delicious and good quality of the pizza. They also have a bar that served awesome drinks with a great punch of taste. Perfect pair with their pizza. The bartender was great, friendly, and helpful. Good selection of local craft beer and pizza. They have the best NY pizza I've had tasted and my wife actually likes the pizza there too. Ingredients were top-notch and well-created pizza. The authentic thin crust with the crunch was absolutely great. Very excellent service as well. read more

I know that at some level good pizza is good pizza and then it comes down to personal taste but I think Home Slice has the best pizza I've ever had. The quality of their ingredients is excellent. The margherita is amazing but if you really want your mind blown visit the restaurant on a Monday or Thursday and order the off menu Sicilian pizza. It will change your life. Another off menu item is the Vatican - an Italian sub wrapped in a meat calzone. I haven't tried it but it looks insane. If you want a table at nearly any time besides right around opening you're gonna wait a while but it's worth it and there's an area out back with a bar where you can hang out while you wait. read more

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.

Home Slice Pizza, what's there to say? Everyone knows about Home Slice Pizza, and everyone loves…read moreHome Slice Pizza. We usually just order it by the slice, and it's perfect. If you haven't tried it yet, they also have a really great Italian sandwich that's worth branching out for. Super casual place with picnic tables and umbrellas for shade. Bonus: they've got beer too, which makes it even better. Simple, classic, always a popular spot.

This wasn't my first time trying Home Slice, but it was my first time visiting one of their…read morelocations instead of getting it delivered in a box, and I have to say, it was very good. I feel like Home Slice has pretty polarizing opinions. Either people absolutely love it or think it's severely overrated, but I personally thoroughly enjoyed my slices. The staff were also super friendly, and even though there was a line, it moved pretty quickly. I ordered two of their special slices: one Pepperoni with Hot Cherry Peppers and another topped with eggplant. Both were delicious, but the eggplant was by far my favorite. It was a more unusual combination that you don't typically see at pizza places, which made it more interesting. The "hot" cherry peppers, on the other hand, weren't nearly as spicy as I was hoping for. Beyond the toppings, I thought the actual structure of the slices was very good. They were thin and crispy with no soggy bottoms, and the slices were a generous size. One slice would have been more than enough for me, but I ordered two because I didn't know how big they would be. My only complaint would be the crust, which is a little thicker and can get somewhat doughy and dry, especially toward the parts without much sauce. Overall, I can understand why Home Slice has such a divided reputation, but I personally really enjoyed it. The slices were crispy, flavorful, and generously sized, and the eggplant topping was a pleasant surprise. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other specialty slices, especially if they have another unique combination that catches my eye.

Pizza di Roma

It has been a few months since we discovered this place but ever since we have been die hard fans…read moreof this pizza!! 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.

The pizza was very good overall, though I personally would have liked a little more cheese. Still, it hit the spot, especially for an easy dinner back in our hotel room. The garlic knots were really good too! The cheese on top added a nice touch, and they came with a side of marinara sauce, which was great for dipping. I even used some of the extra marinara for the pizza, and it worked perfectly. Overall, a great option for a casual late-night meal. I'd definitely recommend Hoboken Pie to anyone visiting Austin and looking for some good pizza!

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.
