    Phenomenal!! Joe Cave knows his pizza. We are from the east coast & feel like we are back home ... amazingly fresh. No wonder the area restaurants rely on his knowledge ... and what a fun guy to talk to as well. Passionate entrepreneur. Thanks for a great experience! We ordered the large with crumbled sausage, black olives, mushrooms, bell peppers & fresh basil. To die for. -Ray & Heather

    Meatball pizza
    Laura K.

    Hey Siri, the salads are beyond incredible! Big huge bowls, full of fresh lettuce and whatever else you wanted in it. The ant pasta salad was delicious. Meatball Parm sub was nice and crunchy and tasty and the meatball pizza was for sure a hit our server Isabelle was very attentive, knowledgeable, courteous with the most beautiful smile. we just arrived from Florida and stopped here for some food and we loved it.

    Came here twice within 24 hours while away for a baseball weekend. Great menu offerings with fresh ingredients and portion sizes to leave you stuffed. The breads, pizza dough, and dressings are all house made and delicious. Service was attentive and pleasant. Open kitchen was a great addition to the atmosphere. The outdoor patio with hill country views for miles was tranquil and a pleasant adder to an already stellar meal. Food was on point no matter what we ordered; zero complaints!

    Empty plate of lasagna

    I don't normally review while still at the place, but yikes!!! We just got a check-in from our server (a very nice, however timid and unsure, young man) for the first time in over 20 mins. He's walked past us dozens of times, checking on other tables. I watched thirstily as he sipped on his soda behind the bar. Meanwhile we haven't had drink in our cups for 20 mins and I flipped our cups upside down on the table almost 15 mins ago. It's been 10 minutes since my plate has been completely empty. The other servers observed my situation and said nothing to me or my server about it. The lack of attention or concern by the entire staff was shocking. Update: despite the issues I left about a 22% cash tip, and a note stating he was a very nice young man, but I recommend working on his steps of service, and his attention/follow-ups. Him and the other servers seemed to find that call to action with an undeserved tip so comical that I watched them all laugh about it through the window. (Shrug) I guess you can lead a horse to water, but...

    Caesar Salad (it was 3/15 - Had to)
    Sean C.

    Met my parents for lunch on 3/15/24. Dripping Springs pretty much splits the different between the cities we both live. Pizza cave had a nice lunch menu. We decided, however to split a large pizza and family salad between 5 of us and it was plenty of food. We got a 1/2 Classic White (the ricotta was amazing) and 1/2 Alfredo. We got a Caesar Salad... and killed it... because it WAS the Ides of March (that's the dad joke). My parents decided to split the large Philly Cheesesteak sub (didn't get a photo but I swear it looked like 2 larges, not one split in half). The vibe of the restaurant was nice. Clean. It wasn't busy, but it wasn't too loud at all. Had video trivia happened in one corner of you wanted to jump in on your phone. Service was laid back but good. They figured out quickly that putting a pitcher of water on our table was the move. They were right. Overall delicious and we will be back.

    Awesome Stromboli

    Good is always fresh and good here. Always get the garlic knots they are the best and the Stromboli is another favorite of mine.

    Loaded meat lunch slice
    Russell B.

    Just wow! I was in Dripping for a doctor appointment around lunch time. I checked Yelp and was led to Pizza Cave for pizza. They have some reasonably priced lunch specials. I opted for the slice and soup combo. For the soup I chose the piggie chowder. Delicious! It's a nice sized cup of a creamy chowder loaded with sausage, ham and bacon. It's got just enough kick to get your attention! For the slice I opted for the loaded meat. And it lived up to its name. Huge chunks of sausage with ham and Canadian bacon. The crust was perfectly crisp and the slice was hot. And the service was great. I'll be back next time I'm down that way.

    Pizza with toppings sliding

    We ordered pizza and spaghetti/meatballs. The bill was between 50 and 60, including tip. The pasta wasn't great, and the pizza had a mishap in the car, toppings and cheese sliding to one side. When we got home we repaired the pizza as best we could. It looked terrible but tasted great. I'd suggest eating there. I'd give it 3-1/2 stars if I could. I wasn't in the mood to re-assemble the 'za.

    Crust and sauce are solid, ham and uncooked bacon only in the middle.

    Tried it again and once again the toppings were a problem. Initially, we just thought it was that the ham was almost entirely in the middle and that's a mistake but not a big deal. What is a big deal is having to pick off uncooked bacon. Those are not onions or garlic or white mushrooms in the picture. You might have guessed correctly, that's uncooked bacon.

    Never heard of this place but got a coupon in the mail for a buy one lunch, get a free lunch…read more Decided to try it as I'm always looking for decent Italian food. As it turns out the coupon was only good during the week and it was Saturday. No big deal. I ordered a Meatball Sandwich, my friend an Italian Sandwich (after asking our excellent young waitress about it). She brought out two very tasty types of bread with olive oil for dipping. The sandwiches came with Garlic Fries. The Fries were delicious but unfortunately mine were lukewarm. I certainly could have asked for a fresh portion, but was hungry enough not to bother. That's the reason my rating wasn't 5 Star. Because the restaurant was pretty empty on this Saturday afternoon, I feel the Chef shouldn't have sent out fries that weren't piping hot. The Meatball Sandwich however was marvelous. Freshly made, tasty meatballs with sauce and cheese on their focaccia bread was a real treat. I took half home and ate the rest for dinner.

This is big time birthday celebration for the patriarch of this gang of Bostonians out for some wicked Italian food.

Meatball appetizers were big and beautifully blended globs of ground beef and sausage served with sauce. Now the it's Primo time. The Molto Grande Patti. Pork Chops with Giardiniera . Somebody forgot to make golden brown cutlets so they served an overcooked slab of pork chop underneath an assortment of pickled vegetables over a bed of pasta in red sauce. The only taste was pickled everything. Back to the kitchen and off the table. Veal Piccata consisted of two slices of meat, non tenderized, non dredged in flour and non pan seared. Served atop linguini swimming in a sea of lemon sauce and capers. What a wonderful disaster this was. Then the Lasagna served in casserole. If the traditional Lasagna is too time consuming to make then don't fake it with a casserole that the old Irish Lady makes. Good lasagna is made with layers of pasta, rich sauce, gooey cheese made with ricotta, mozzarella and parmigiano cheeses and loads of ground beef and sausage. Come on that's too easy to mess up with this awful thing you put in front of me. Ok the Penne was cooked to perfection. The sauce with green floating in it tasted good once I got past the floating algae. Sorry Folks but Cousin Louie's is best left for the kids spaghetti feast. No place for grown ups to dine.

When we ordered the Agnolotti Alla Piemontese I asked him does it have a lot of truffle flavor because I love truffle. He said oh we can definitely add more truffle if you would like when the dish comes out. When the dish came they had the chef come shave an extra truffle on the dish. I honestly could not taste the difference. Was not enough truffle flavor for me. Note the extra truffle is an added charge. Overall lovely experience. If we return we will need to try some different dishes to give it another try.

Prices are reasonable, and the service was efficient, so we were in and out quickly.
