As an unapologetic East Coast pizza snob, I usually approach Texas pizza with a massive amount of…read moreskepticism. I've spent my life chasing the perfect crust, comparing everything from the legendary pie shops in Manhattan to the pristine corner slices in Pittsburgh. I didn't think Austin could pull off truly authentic pizza. I was dead wrong. Baldinucci is absolute sorcery. The moment I took a bite of their Roman-style pizza, I was instantly thrown back to the tiny, narrow pizzerias I stumbled into in Italy. It has that exact, hyper-specific airy crunch that is so incredibly hard to replicate outside of Europe. The dough is clearly fermented with patience. 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.

In a city filled with amazing pizza joints, Baldinucci is definitely near the top of the list…read more Located in West Lake Hills, I was pleasantly surprised by just how many pizza options they offer. They're especially known for their Roman-style pizza so I highly recommend giving it a try. As for flavors, you really can't go wrong but the standouts for me were the Potato, Chicken Parm and Lasagna slices. They also serve calzones, New York-style pizza, gelato and wine, so there's truly something for everyone. The pizza is priced by the slice, which makes it easy to mix and match like I did, though you can also order a full pie. I will say this definitely isn't cheap pizza, but you're absolutely paying for quality ingredients and incredible flavor. I ended up taking mine to go, but they do have a few tables inside and outside if you want to dine in. With plenty of parking, fast service and mind-blowing flavors what more could you ask for from a pizza spot?

I met a group of girlfriends here for lunch today, and it was fantastic! I ordered one of their…read moreturkey sandwiches and it was so delicious. There was so much turkey meat in the sandwich along with avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion (which I left off) and it was toasted. One of the other ladies got the chicken Caesar salad wrap and really enjoyed it. The other people in my group shared a couple of salads and two of their slices of pizza. Everyone loved everything that we ordered! The restaurant is bright and clean with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and we will definitely be back for another visit.

Feeling very appreciated this week! Our incredible Booster Club treated all the staff to a "take…read moreand bake" dinner, and it was such a thoughtful surprise. We had the option of pizza or lasagna--I went with the veggie lasagna, and it did not disappoint! Each meal was a full dinner for a family of four... which worked out perfectly for me as a party of one. I've been enjoying the leftovers all week! Our take-home bags included: * Two pieces of cheesy garlic bread * Salad * Dessert * Lasagna or pizza Everything was absolutely delicious. (Although I'll admit--I wish there had been a non-chocolate dessert option... I know, I'm the odd one out!) LOL! Maybe that was the universe telling me to skip dessert! Huge thank you to Marye's Gourmet Pizza for making the teachers at Bridge Point Elementary feel so appreciated and well-fed. We are grateful!

I always like Modern Market bowls...especially when they offer specials to their rewards members…read more Recently, they had a special for $10 bowls. I took advantage of this offer twice: - Buddha Bowl (normally 12.95) Organic sesame glazed tofu, rice & quinoa, spicy roasted broccoli, carrot, citrus cabbage slaw, peanut, cilantro, peanut mango - Alleppo Steak Bowl (normally 14.95!) Garlic herb steak, rice & quinoa, mixed greens, turmeric cauliflower, roasted cherry tomato, pickled onion, You can customize by excluding any of the ingredients. Both bowls are yummy and healthy, with all fresh ingredients. I usually take the order home, but sometimes when I'm super hungry and can't wait, I stay and eat it in their bright, clean and quiet restaurant.

I used to frequent the location in Arboretum a lot before moving, but decided to pay the location in Westlake a visit on a Sunday when I was feeling particularly hungry. I got the BBQ pizza, replacing the meat with tofu. Everything would have been perfect except I had to wait incredibly long for the pizza, when I'm so used to quick service based on my experience at the Arboretum location. Had to wait almost 20 minutes...I'm surprised I didn't pass out from hunger onto my pizza! Without a doubt, I ate the entire pizza except for one or two crusts. I was so hungry, the picture of my pizza was taken mid-consumption! The staff were nice and attentive, I just think there is an imbalance of to-go versus dine-in orders, which comes at a disadvantage to those who dine-in since to-go ends up getting higher priority.

I also tried the Caesar wrap which honestly wasn't my favorite, just mostly lettuce tbh. But everything else was incredible so it didn't really take away from the experience. I also tried chicken bone broth for the first time and it was so flavorful and perfect for a Sunday. The overall vibe was really bright and relaxed, perfect reset after the weekend. Loved this place so much and would definitely come back again.

Food Food...I love the name! This restaurant came as a suggestion from a nearby shop owner. As…read moreneighborhood Food Food evangelists flowed into the restaurant, I immediately knew that this would be a good experience. The locals went in knowing precisely what they wanted. Thus, my expectations for a good meal started to rise. My server suggested the Turkey Reuben as one of the most popular items. I get weak at the knees trying popular items. To be transparent, I am not a huge fan of rye bread nor sauerkraut. Sometimes you have to venture outside of your comfort zone...so, I did. It was a calculated decision. I opted only for half a Turkey Reuben and a chicken mole tamale...another popular item. My initial thought upon looking at the sandwich was that it had been burnt. I took a bite and I was in complete nirvana. The sandwich looked like a panini; however, it did not taste completely like one. The bread had been toasted and took on a wavy texture. The bread was crunchy and flavorful...with each bite being better than the last. The sauerkraut was mild and the cheese thin. No ingredient overwhelmed the other ingredients...they worked in perfect harmony.
