SUPER yummy pizza! It's like NYC style pizza that's seriously super delicious. I recommend sharing a pizza (we didn't know how big it was and accidentally ordered 2) between a couple people. It's in a cute spot with wine tasting and nice lights. You order at the food truck and give them your name then when it's ready they yell ur name. It's pretty quick! Good spot for some authentic NYC pizza!
I've been to Sammataro a few times now, mostly for takeaway. The pizza is tasty, and although it's roughly $30 per pie, they're pretty sizeable. I'm knocking off a star because of the $10 salad we added to our order more recently. It was literally a plate of chopped up Romain lettuce, completely plain, with a little cup of dressing on the side and some Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. Charging $10 for that is unreasonable. We ordered it thinking it would be a standard house salad. I'll be back for pizza, but I will be thinking twice before trying anything else.
Legit pizza in downtown Austin. They have a trailer and separate structure that has limited seating and bathroom inside. There is also plentiful outdoor seating available. The parking situation was confusing a bit. Last time, we parked nearby and walked over. Staff were friendly and cool. One of my husband's main food groups is pizza and he absolutely loves this place and I concur! As a person who doesn't like pepperoni I would eat pepperoni on their pizza anytime as they were perfectly crisp and delicious We love their pizza but it's a bit costly and the location is kind of far from our house so we only stop by when we're in the area. All in all, highly recommended if you haven't checked them out yet!
Had to try out the austin HYPE pizza and it did not disappoint. I loved the indoor seating area, its very austin vibey. The pizza itself looks and tastes amazing but i didnt get that WOW factor. I feel like the best way to tell if a pizza is unique is by the quality of the cheese, flour(dough), and cooking oven. Everything tasted fresh but it was just like any other pizza i've had. The pizza was $34 which is on the higher end. Will I be back? Yes. Do i think its lifechanging? No. I have heard they change up their menus and have unique pizzas in the summer so i definitely want to come back and give that a try!
Best pizza I have ever had, hands down, non negotiable. Crispiness, amazing cheese, sauce is incredibly on point. Can't recommend enough, by far best in Austin
Got to stop here when visiting Austin. Picked it because Portnoy rated it well and I was not disappointed. Chewier bread like crust of a Neapolitan with a great sauce. I just got classic today to try the basic but the others sounded amazing too! I didn't notice pepperoni on the menu but that is ok! Food came out quick and friendly service. This is I guess a food truck in a courtyard.... Seems like.... I wish the other buildings were other restaurants/bars. Note: this is BYOB unfortunately so bring your own!
When a vibe meets pizza, you have SAMMATARO. The menu is simple, and the pies hit that spot, making you remember the drunken, err, good times in NYC. Pros: - Brick oven char! - Large pies - Friendly staff - NYC-styled - Austin outdoor vibes - Pet friendly Side Notes: - Brick + mortar closed - Parking around the area - Closed M + T - Made to order (can take time) What We Got: - Full custom pie Summary SAMMATARO is re-opened at the OG location they once started from, which, IMHO, was the better spot. You have the outdoor vibes, and as Austin starts to cool off, it is a perfect spot to take your friends or date on a creative expression of the city. Hours: Check the hours; they are closed on M + T and open during certain hours. I live up north, so when they first opened, I made the mistake of coming on a Monday and had to get subpar pizza elsewhere. Time: They have a full-blown brick oven attached to the shop, giving it a unique char flavor I haven't had in any other pizza in town. It's made to order, so if you don't order in advance, you'll have to wait as they make it fresh. Parking: It's easy to find parking around the area, but look for signs as it's next to a nice neighborhood, so it's better to walk than get a ticket! They also have convenient parking right next to the food truck area, but sometimes the demand is high, so parking might need to be street side. I haven't had an issue yet parking right up front! Taste: We have a lot of pizza places in Austin, but this one is definitely a fave of mine. I'm a fan of the thin crust, with a char that isn't burnt and full of flavor when you bite into it. I love folding my slices vertically in half and chowing down on them in a few bites as if you were in NYC, walking around the city at night. Go check it out. Bring a date, your friends, and/or your family. The fall weather is hitting, so it's a nice spot to enjoy Austin and some damn good pizza.
What a cool location. It's warm and welcoming. How do they fit this wood fire over into the pod? There's a lot of outdoor seating. And some indoor as well. Each pizza is made with high quality ingredients. I got a half and half pizza of pepperoni on one side. And a honey spicy sausage on the other. It was delicious! This place is definitely a vibe. Brings that Austin pod culture to life. And shows what you can produce in a quant space.
Great pizza for a good price!! Pizza was so good thin and crispy and also huge. Service was fast you order from a food truck took about 15-20 mins but while you wait there's a wine house and a tattoo shop. Very nice area had live music as well.
This place deserves all the recognition for its New York style pizza. It really lives up to the hype. We went on a hot day during happy hour and there weren't many people there, so our pizza didn't take long at all. The vodka pie was a perfect twist on a classic pizza- it had a little more spice and kick to it. This is a food truck, so the seating is almost completely outdoors. They have a small area inside but the AC isn't great, so prepare to be a little warm if you're going in the summer months.
Sammataro is an absolute gem. Admittedly, I did not expect to find this caliber of pizza in Austin, TX. It's picture perfect. The service was very friendly and quite frankly one of the highlights. They made me feel like I was a regular there. For a group of 3 they recommended 2 pizzas (more pizza is always better in life), which is what we did. Tried the regular cheese and the vodka Cheese Review - my favorite of the two, it's really well executed. The parm adds great funk. Basil gives it some lift. Really nice crust with minimal flop. Vodka - really really good. The vodka sauce is really flavorful, but doesn't overpower. Perfect amount of cheese.

Some of the best pizza I have had in a really long time, great atmosphere in their indoor space and staff is super friendly. read more
I went to the new brick and mortar location in West Austin this weekend and I can't give this place enough praise. We walked in and were seated immediately at a corner booth over looking the street. The giant windows have so much sunlight into our area making it feel so cozy as the candle was lit on the table. The vibes are fancier for a pizza place making it such a cool experience. The staff were all so incredible with suggestions. Our items all came out very quickly. I highly recommend getting the cacio e pepe arancini and meatballs as a apps for the table as they are mouthwatering. This was the best New York style pizza we have ever had...get the vodka pizza and feel free to add your favorite additional toppings. YUM! I can't wait to go back read more

When I tell you this place blew me away, it truly did just that. Everything from the restaurant, to the decor, to the service was amazing. The restaurant is in a great location, decorated like an italian cafe, and great music playing. The service is unmatched, Alan, Max and Jo were all so attentive and amazing. Alan gave us great recommendations on apps and his favorite pizza combo (Vodka pizza with sausage and serranos) and Mac and Jo recommended the amazing wine. We were checked on often and they chatted and made us feel so welcome and appreciated. The Food: Cacio e Pepe Arancini- 9/10 so good Meatballs- 10/10 AMAZING Focaccia- So good, comes with a chili oil- so tasty Vodka Pizza (w Sausage)- 10000/10 we stuffed ourself because it was too good to leave, the pizza size is large and could feed 3-4. Overall Sammataro is absolutely worth all of the praise. It feels like sitting in a relative's home that wants you to have the best time. Check them out! read more
I heard about this place opening up and was in the area, so decided to give it a try. We ordered online and it was a pretty easy process. The food was ready right on time (about 20 to 30 minutes). They have a single pizza you can order, with some additional toppings that you can add. We only added pepperoni. The pizza was by far the best pizza we've tried in the Austin area. Really everything about the pizza was great: sauce, cheese, basil and pepperoni. But, the dough was especially good. Even though it may be a little out of the way, I would recommend you try this place out next time you're craving some pizza, you won't be sorry! read more

This pizza was 10/10. We ordered the classic! We went here because Dave Portnoy gave it a high review, so we had to check it out! Once we ordered & were paying for our pizza, the credit card server lost connection & wouldn't re connect! So.. we ended up getting our food for free! The cashier was SO nice. & we are so thankful for the pie on the house. No worries though, we would definitely pay full price for this!! We will be back! read more

Probably would have been okay if they hadn't completely burnt it. I spent $85 on two pizzas and they were inedible read more

Easily one of the 5 best pies I have ever had. Tried the cheese pizza and the red pizza. Both are standouts with a wonderfully charred but not burnt undercarriage and extraordinarily well-balanced flavors. No flop. All pleasure. read more

10/10 recommend trying it, being from nyc this didn't disappoint. I personally gave it an 8.3, was a lil soupy for my liking but really good tasting sauce with nice undercarriage. We bought the classic pie with half of it pepperoni. Pro tip, we brought our own Mikes's hot honey to lace over the pepperoni slices chef's kiss! read more

Okay, I will forever pledge my loyalty to Sammantaro. That's how much I love this pizza! I don't do anything fancy when ordering. Simple cheese pizza and I'm happy for the next few days (it lasts me for a couple meals.) I discovered Sammantaro when they were way out towards hill country/bee caves. I was hesitant to drive there for a lunch time slice, but so glad I did. But now they've moved closer to downtown and YAY. It quickly became my favorite pizza because I love NY style and this is the most authentic in Austin. It's equal parts crispy but soft, the cheese is melted just right so it's not gooey but still stretchy, and the sauce is actually tasty- the things I personally look for in a pizza bite. I do think it's overpriced, for sure when you start adding toppings. But if you spread out your visits, it's worth it. read more
I'll be the first to say pizza is never on the top of my list of things to eat but this pizza hits different. The crust is nicely charred and crunchy but not over baked and the pizza are pretty much fully customizable. The fully leaf basils are a nice touch for a full flavor experience. I got a pizza with basil, garlic, serrano peppers & pepperoni which was *chef kiss" perfection. read more

Good guys running the shop, but unfortunately this does not live up to the hype :( It's good, not great. Extremely overpriced ($42 for a Pizza w Sausage, mushroom, garlic, and calabrian chilis). Was super oily, and lacking on amount of ingredients for the price you pay to add them.. $42!!!!! (no drinks) I'm glad I tried it, but I'll stick with the Napoli style pizza spots in town. More variety, less expensive, better flavor. At least it looked good! read more
Pizza from a trailer sounds scary but when you realize how much time and love the owner puts into his pies, you'll get it. The pies can be a bit pricey but it's worth every penny. They are delicious and always hot. Best pizza in Austin in my opinion. Plus, since it's in Arbor Food Park, if someone in your group would rather get tacos, boom... cuantos tacos! read more

First time at the west location and I do think it is better than the east location. Pizza was saucy and rich in flavor per usual. Never had the rice balls or heard of such a thing but they were a nice surprise. Crispy and creamy with a salty Parmesan sauce that complimented all of the flavors and textures nicely. Hibiscus marg was strong and the bartender didn't just make my drink, he took care and crafted it beautifully. The location is small but cozy and they make it low key fancy with the candle and tablecloth. The staff is above and beyond great people - at both locations. Love this place. read more

TL;DR: I waited 85 minutes and paid $38 for a burnt pizza with sparse toppings. I like supporting local businesses, but I'm not going back to Sammataro. ------ I almost never write reviews, but this was such disappointing pizza, especially for the price, that I feel compelled to write this. After reading the many glowing reviews about this place, my girlfriend and I were excited to try it. We placed our order online for a sausage, pepperoni, and 1/2 mushroom pizza ($38) at ~7:05pm and were told that it would be 75 minutes. When I arrived 75 minutes later to pick up the pizza, I was told it would be a few minutes more and waited another 10 minutes. As for the pizza, there were large sections of burnt crust and toppings, and the sausage was really sparse. I genuinely wanted to like this place, but there was really nothing exceptional about this pizza. We love supporting local restaurants, but we definitely won't be ordering from Sammataro again. read more

Take a 16" pizza, ferment the dough for 48 hours, top it off with the freshest, highest quality ingredients available, and you get a beautiful pizza here at Sammataro. It was great! Simple, yet delicious; that's how I like it. I was satisfied with my experience and give them an 4/5 for being great. That rating is that way primarily due to price, since it costed me $25. The 3 most popular LOCAL pizza spots in town charge $17.50, $18.75, and $23 for a pepperoni pizza of that size. Although, yes I did enjoy the pizza greatly, I didn't find it to be significantly more different than their counterparts. I don't say that to deter you away because they are definitely a spot to check out if you're a fan of NY-style pizza! Add it to your bucket list and try them outx read more

I found this food truck (now restaurant) from someone's reel on instagram and I was trilled to check it out. We got at the restaurant at 7:20.. when we checked in we were told it'd be a 2 hour wait. We waited the 2 hours just to try this popular pizza spot. Personally the appetizers were okay... we tried the focaccia and the Cacio e Pepe arachini. Both were okay.. I wish the aranchini would have been hotter and the bread simply wasn't as "risen" as I would expect with a facaccia. We tried the vodka pie and that was great! The pizza certainly did not disappoint. We would certainly get pizza to go again but may skip on the apps (I'll give it a try atleast once more before vouching by this!! Haha). Also, personally the place was a bit too loud.. it was extremely hard to hear your friends and family. If they tuned it down just a tad bit it would be a great date night spot! read more

We went to the new location off of west 10th on a Thursday night at about 8 pm. We ordered a special, the meatball pizza. It took about 45 minutes for it to come out and the place is very small, was not overcrowded and we didn't wait for a seat. It was $34 and I had high hopes for that price. It barely came with any meatball. While it had a good taste, it was very thin and floppy in the center. 3 of us girls easily ate the entire pie. If I went back I'd try their vodka or plain instead but wasn't super impressed. read more
Ugh, this pizza is divine. IMO must be eaten hot. It's light and airy with a crisp bite. The light sprinkle cheese blend they use is just delicious. If you get it just eat it there while it's fresh out of the oven. You could get toppings but their basic pizza remains my favorite. Okay read more
Fantastic, fresh pizza! I had seen some positive chatter about Sammataro on Instagram, so my husband and I decide to give it a try. So glad we did. All of the ingredients were high quality and fresh. We opted for the white pie, which is topped with ricotta cream, mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves. We also added mushrooms and serrano pepper. I loved the fresh basil leaves, such a refreshing flavor. I also liked the peppers. On their own, they probably would be too spicy for me, but with the ricotta cream, they added just the right amount of spice. The crust was thin, perfect for folding a pizza slice in half. Ordering online was easy. If you want pizza on a Friday or Saturday night, I recommend placing your order earlier in the day to be made later. Otherwise, there can be a 1-2 hour wait. In other words, don't order when you're already getting hungry! I'm adding Sammataro to the list of great pizza places in Austin. Definitely worth visiting! read more

Best Pizza in Texas hands down. Im a Chicago guy with a Brooklyn father. This is some truly incredible east coast style pizza. Perfect thin crispy crust, the curled up pepperonis, and the cheese. Freakin' fantastic. Take my freaking money yall!! read more
The service was great, a little bit of a wait but it showed that the pizza came out fresh. Overall I'd say the flavor profile was good, though the sauce profile was a bit overpowering. I'm not sure if the oil drizzle was necessary, it made for a soggier top. $27 for a pizza made me a little hesitant and I'd say the pizza was good but not $27 worth. Cute little date spot though ! read more
