    House made dough, sauce, ranch. This business was once a taco truck turned into pizza house. Fresh and sizzling order received. Seating is not ample, taste is great, customer service is mid, pizza is tasty!

    One of the best pizzas in Austin. The serve NY style pies and also Sicilian style square pies which are more buttery and thick. The NY Trifecta is my favorite slice which comes with pepperoni, jalapeño, and mushrooms. The interior is tiny and has minimal seating. Outdoor seating is also somewhat limited but you can sit in the next door patio area, too. Park across the street at the church for a guaranteed spot.

    White & trifecta

    Pedroso's gets talked up a lot as the pizza spot in Austin, so I went out of my way to finally try it. I ordered the White Pizza and the Trifecta. Both were solid, but after hearing so much hype, I left feeling a little underwhelmed. If this is the best Austin has to offer, that honestly makes me kind of sad because it's good, but not great. The White Pizza was the bigger letdown for me. It tasted pretty bland, and the cheese could've been melted more. Pro tip: ask them to heat it up extra if you're getting slices. I ordered one as a to go slice, so maybe that played a role, but I've had reheated slices at other places that were still amazing, so I don't think that fully explains it. The Trifecta was better and definitely enjoyable, but still not something I'd rave about. On top of that, the prices are pretty steep for what you get. Overall, it's decent pizza, but not somewhere I'd rush back to. I'll keep trying other spots around town in search of something that really For comparison, it doesn't come close to Luna's in Houston,

    Wow, this place really surprised me! My fiancé and I were up in North Austin one evening and decided to pick up pizza on the way home. We did a quick Google search and Pedroso's popped up, so we gave it a shot. We were really impressed! We ordered 2 pies: the salami & arugula, and the sausage & peppers. I am from NY and can be snobby about my pizza, but this was very comparable to stellar NY pies. Highly recommend!

    NY style and Grandma slices

    If you like being able to grab a pizza slice, Pedroso's is a delicious treat in north Austin. Located on a quiet street about a block east of Burnet, Pedroso's is next door to Lala's Little Nugget, a cute neighborhood bar and a destination in its own right. Today we're interested in pizza. Both NY style and Sicilian slices are available. Pedroso's NY slice is big and features a beautifully crispy crust that is not excessively droopy. Flavors are spot on if a bit mild. My favorite though is a Grandma's margherita slice featuring a hearty crust and plentiful cheese on top. Slices are warmed before serving and are piping hot. The counter staff is friendly and gets your order out quickly. With Lala's next door it's a 1-2 punch that makes for an awesome visit. Highly recommended.

    This pizza was so good! I'm only docking a star because it doesn't really have a parking lot. It shares a lot with Lala's which is notorious for having minimal parking and people getting towed. That being said, if you do luck out and find a spot--this pizza is worth it! I loved the NY slice which was so crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed the grandma style slice but thought the thin slice really stood out most. If I got a different grandma slice, it may be different as I feel like it holds thicker toppings better. I would definitely recommend this place to others

    THE BIG: Former pizza truck turned brick and mortar pizza right off of Burnet road. Pizza is made from order so if you're in a pinch, call in! limited parking lot parking. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife really wanted pizza after giving birth so the place in mind was Pedroso's. I originally wanted Home Slice but realized it was bit further than where we were from the Hospital. For pizza, I got the Pepp n' Riccotta 16" and they make it fresh in house. It took about 20 minutes from ordering to getting the pizza in hand. Lots of pepperoni and lots of riccotta. The dollops of riccotta was a nice counter balance from the pepperoni fat. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The pizza was around $26 for an entire 16". I'd say this is a great deal for some authentic (and delicious) pizza in the Austin area. I'd definitely come back to try more pizza flavors and the calzone.

    Pepperoni specialty pizza
    Dora S.

    Classic pizza, nothing too special, i like the dough/crust. But also my standards for pizza is so high because we have soo many good pizza spots in austin. You cant go wrong getting a pizza from here. They have a lot of different types of pizza which i'm open to trying out next time!

    Jersey Tomato Pie with extra cheese and extra sauce.

    Went back for a Jersey Tomato Pie, but this time I got extra cheese and extra sauce. It elevated the Tomato Pie from excellent to to die for.

    A square of deliciousness...
    Katie C.

    Since I'm originally from NY, I'm a tough cookie when it comes to rating pizza. However, I fully give my stamp of approval to this spot. I ordered a square slice and it was delicious! The staff were nice and helpful. Pro tip: they can deliver the pizza to the Christmas bar right next door. Who doesn't love Christmas decor and pizza at the same time? I was also thrilled to hear they are opening a location on Airport. Woo hoo!

    Caprese Salad
    Christian R.

    09/2025 My wife and I love coming to Pedroso's! You have the option of buying pizza by the slice or whole--they always have a variety of options. My go-to's are definitely the "Sicilian with Pepperoni" or the "Trifecta," which has pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. I highly recommend both! Slices are huge too, so 2 usually does the trick for me, unless you're super hungry. If you'd like something fresh to go along with your pizza try the "Caprese Salad," huge pieces of mozzarella with well-seasoned and tossed Cherry tomatoes--it's great! The restaurant doesn't have indoor seating, at least not large indoor seating--they do have some bar chairs that you can sit on inside, but it would be a squeeze to stay there as people come inside to order or pick-up. They have an outdoor patio with about 5-6 picnic tables, and I believe you can also sit at tables that the neighboring bar has. We haven't come at a time where there hasn't been a place to sit, thankfully. Always great service and great quality!!

    Grandma's margherita
    Bee B.

    Pedroso's is right next to Lala's bar. What a great find. Their NY slices are where it's at, but don't get me wrong, the Sicilian slices aren't to be balked at either. Quick counter service, where you can order by the pie or the slice. Grab a table outside or at Lala's, or there's counter seating inside too. Must try pizza in Austin!

    Elise M.

    Meh it was ok. Was told this would be as good as pizza from NY but clearly not. I wanted mushroom and tomato but they only offer cherry tomatoes instead of sliced which is awful. Tomato on pizza should be sliced so it's flat and covers more of it. The cherry tomatoes are round and just fall off and they tasted sour and off. Also asked for extra tomato sauce on top but they refused. I'm not sure why? They have sauce on top of other pizzas so why was my request denied? It wasn't saucy enough - too dry. The Sicilian slice and calzone was good tho. I think I'd get their Sicilian again. I found their regular pizza disappointing. Also when ordering online it says no changes allowed. Why? Majority of the pies have onion on top and I can't eat onion and they don't allow you to make alterations which is strange. Also no pineapple on the menu - can't order Hawaiian!

This was so good, I'm not really a pizza person and honestly only came because of the great reviews. Well, I was wrong, this is the best pizza I've ever had I'm usually keto, so I normally don't eat the crust edge. But this time, I actually ate the crust first before getting to the toppings. It's thin, crunchy, and has such a great texture and flavor. I finished the slice right away and forgot to take a picture. I also ordered the Garlic Knots. They come four to an order, but I wasn't sure I wanted that many. Kat told me I could order just one, which was really nice. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my favorite, a little too doughy for me. And then there was the Tiramisu. Wow! It's so good, not overly sweet like other tiramisu and the texture is light, fluffy, and smooth. They were busy during my visit, but the service was still great.

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.

    When you're looking for a great happy hour deal - THIS is your place to go…read more I feel like this place has happy hour every day of the week including weekends and sometimes after happy hour times and sometimes all day lol. The HH pizza is a steal. Quality and ingredients and size. All of the above. Check. And can't beat it at HH prices. The Philly Cheesesteak seemed a one off on the menu. Not gonna lie the pictured advertisements had me worried. It looked like the bread was going to be thick and hard. And the meat looked different. But guys....this Philly Cheesetake is the best I've had in years. Granted I probably haven't had any in years but it is bomb. The bread rose to the occasion (pun intended) and was so soft and mashable. If you're a bread snob you know what I mean. And the inside itself was so flavorful and cheesy. My husband even had a hard time finishing it because it was a good serving. Job well done Grata's. We will be and have been back.

    Though alarmingly quiet for prime lunchtime, Grata's is still pulling out the hits with a few solid…read morevegan-friendly options. The Game Changer cheesesteak is clearly the centerpiece of the menu, combining Beyond Meat with vegan cheese in a monstrous, meaty sandwich. I have to say that the addition of ketchup was a bit odd, and could have been better either substituted with marinara or omitted, but I still polished off my half of this beast all the same. The mushroom pizza pockets were faultless, if you're in more of a snacking mood. Just ask to swap the ricotta with vegan cheese and you'll be treated to umami shrooms sauteed with a touch of balsamic, wrapped in golden dough, and generously portioned at that. Happy hour is clearly the time to visit, with all pizzas clocking in at $10, and select drinks at $5. I'll have to time out my next visit better to take advantage.
