Can't go wrong at this place. Just a solid pizza! Pizza depends on what you like best, so I can't say it is "the best" in any category, but I don't think you will not be happy with it. Just depends on how exactly you like your pizza. This had a NY pizza feel but the crust stayed pretty crust and wasn't soggy at all. If you like heavy, super cheesy pizza, this isn't that, but again, I don't think you'll leave disappointed. Good spot with friendly staff. read more

Ate here in the way through Bandera with grandson. Just had a quick small pepperoni pizza, but it was very good. Also tried the boneless chicken wings, which were good, but too much breading. Good fountain drinks also! Concrete floor and casual inside but clean; only one bathroom unfortunately. Good and pleasant service. Recommend! read more

This is the neatest place with the coolest ambience. They have unique pizzas and great apps, along with tasty coffees and libations. Every visit here has been fabulous- they truly have the whole vibe going on here. Their service and attitude is what elevates ordinary experiences to extraordinary ones. Please be advised they serve thin style crust not the thick kind which seems to be an issue for some of the vocal*locals. I recco the artichoke dip, served piping hot to your table with nice warm chips and reasonably priced compared to other places close by. The pizzas are fun , unique, and the salads are always fresh and delicious. They even have breakfast pizzas all day every day! The waitstaff are top notch always. If that's as important to you as it has become to me, rest assured your whole fam is in good hands here.

You have a choice of many fresh ingredients and the pie arrives piping hot. The atmosphere and the decor is just okay- but that's not why you eat here. It's the good sauce spices and toppings.

For the pizza, we ordered The Vino, which has red wine blended into the pizza sauce and covered with mushrooms, onions, pepperoncini, and a balsamic drizzle.

We headed to Hippie Chic's River Shack after finishing a three-hour family tubing trip with Andy's…read more After several hours on the river, everyone was hungry and ready to relax. One thing we didn't realize from looking at the reviews was that although they apparently offer food other than pizza at other times, in the evening the food options were basically limited to the pizza kitchen and bar. We just missed getting a spot in the main parking area and had to use the overflow parking. The restaurant sits on a fairly large property with some funky little cabins scattered around. One thing we really appreciated as parents was that there seemed to be only one main entrance/exit to the restaurant area. That made it much easier to let the kids wander around and play without constantly worrying about where they were going. The property itself has a fun, laid-back river atmosphere with some cool repurposed pickup truck seating, swings, and benches. It definitely feels like a place designed for hanging out after a day on the river. Ordering was a little frustrating. The main bar handled pizza, salads, mixed drinks, and other orders. There was also a cash-only bar, but its selection was mostly canned drinks. If you wanted a mixed drink and weren't paying cash, you had to stand in the main food line again, which made getting another drink while waiting for food unnecessarily cumbersome. We initially ordered several pizzas, salads, and breadsticks. The food took quite a while to come out. The salads were okay, and the pizza crust was good, although our pizzas were slightly overcooked and the toppings and overall pizza were pretty mediocre. The breadsticks came with what seemed to be the same pizza sauce, which was extremely thick and almost tomato-paste-like. The biggest disappointment was the value. The pizzas are fairly small, and we eventually had to order two more. We have two boys, 10 and 7, and a 5-year-old daughter, and somehow our family ended up needing four pizzas. At nearly $20 each, that's a lot of money for pizza--especially when the food itself wasn't particularly memorable. Drinks were mixed as well. The margarita was okay, while the recommended coconut margarita was much too sweet for my taste. On the positive side, they had a good beer selection and were happy to let me sample before choosing one. The bathrooms were pretty small, but otherwise the property worked really well for a family. The kids could play, we felt comfortable letting them explore, and there was plenty of room to hang out after being on the river. Overall, Hippie Chic's is a fun and family-friendly place to unwind after tubing, and the setup of the property is probably its biggest strength. Unfortunately, the limited evening food choices, mediocre pizza, small portions, and poor value kept the experience from being better. I'd consider coming back for the atmosphere and a drink, but I'd have a hard time spending close to $100 on four small pizzas wit tip again.

The burnt taste beat the garlic.

We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza ($23 for a 12-inch) and the meat lovers ($25 for a 12-inch). Both were delicious, and we loved that the dough was homemade. It had a nice thin-crust feel but still had some chew to it. My only complaint is that I wish there were more toppings, especially for the price. You'd expect a little more chicken on the BBQ pizza and more meat on the meat lovers. We also got a full Caesar salad, which was good but nothing too special. I ordered a sangria, and it was okay. I just wish it had more fruit in it! Overall, we had a good experience. The owner was super nice, and the staff was attentive and friendly.

It's a new budding business so I'm going to keep trying. First time we went they forgot to put in our order but didn't forget to take out money. We had to ask about our food after 30 min and they were honest. They offered to put in the order but we had to go back to work. We did have to ask for our money back which was weird. The manager said they would make it right, not sure how since they didn't offer us a coupon or free meal voucher. Went back a few days later and ordered dine in, it came out to go. Instead of putting it on a pan they just left the to go box on the table and apologized. The food is spectacular, hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had-toppings are a little skimpy but price matches the food served. We will continue to give them a shot-mostly kids working there and for their first job they are doing great. Very friendly staff and they are doing their best. read more

The only thing is that we will have to show restraint next visit and not go straight to desert before our meal. The chocolate chip cookie in the skillet with ice cream was soooo delicious! Service was great, thank you Jada. And Lauren the owner was super personable and her passion for pizza and their business was contagious. We'll be back read more

This is by far one of the best home town coffee places you could ever visit. It has top noch service and great food. My friend and I walked here and tried the pizza and coffee and it was better then Starbucks. It was very aesthetically pleasing and is great for a mini photo shoot. read more

The pizza was amazing and the overall experience, from the food itself to the atmosphere of their storefront (an old 1940's style gas station), is just all around great and one of a-kind! My only complaint, but it kind of lends to the experience, is that there is a limited quantity of dough and, because of demand, you really need to plan in advance and reserve a pizza a day or two before you decide to order it.

This was the best pizza I've had in a long time. We stopped here with no prior knowledge of the…read moreplace, just hungry. We walked right up to the window to order. The pizza menu is pretty lengthy and I wasn't sure exactly what to order. I just wanted a regular pepperoni but had to request that specifically. It took probably half an hour to get the pizza and it was piping hot when it came out. I mean burn the mouth very hot right out of the oven. Be very careful, I actually burned my mouth and even my fingers from touching the cheese it was so hot. Once it cooled down a bit we enjoyed it very much. We also ordered drinks and a gelato for after pizza since it was "local". Their seating is all outside, it's pretty basic tables and chairs, they do have some fans and umbrellas. We will definitely be stopping back on our way out to our favorite winery. I'm glad we found this hidden gem.

This is a food truck parked out back of Free Range Brewery and offers pretty decent pizza to…read morecomplement your beer selection while you enjoy the spacious outside area or while enjoying sports on one of the many screens inside. The pizza chef is the only worker, so that makes it difficult for you if you are handicapped or if you are alone. If you are in a wheelchair, you would have to cross rocks to pick up your pizza unless you have someone helping, so you are pretty much SOL. If you are alone, you might return to your seat with your hot pizza to find some other party has usurped your spot. So either way, a gamble. Pizza itself is very good although somewhat pricey for the size. I suggest paying cash because of the rigamarole you have to endure to order online. If you pay with a card, the portal begs for a tip before you ever see your food. That's a non-starter for me, so cash it is and cash it will be. I see the owner replied, and I understand he has no control over the gravel and that it would be impractical to hire someone just to run pizzas to tables when his pizzas are made to order and not mass produced. He did offer to bring my pizza when it was done but as I could get no beer service at the outdoor bar ( bartender had taken a powder) , I came back over to pick it up myself as originally I was sitting inside watching football. My pizza was great, I'd order again. My remarks in the review are not directed against the food truck but in difficulties faced by handicapped or solo diners in accessing the truck at the same time retaining your seat without someone thinking you left and clearing/ usurping your spot. Again, an excellent pizza!
