    Great food! Line moves pretty fast, and sometimes they have trivia nights too! I highly recommend their cinnamon pizza as well if you're in the mood for a dessert!

    My bf and I's classic diy buffalo pizza with; Buffalo sauce base All cheeses except for vegan cheese Jalapeños Italian herbs Fresh arugula & Frank's red hot Tried paying with my school card and unfortunately it wasn't working so the sweet lady working gave us the pizza for half off!! :]

    The Tribune.^

    Similar concept to chipotle as in your order your food or can custom through a line and by the time you pay your food is ready. We ordered the tribune and it was delicious! Fan of the thin crust and the small was enough for my husband and I to split. We ended up coming in randomly when they had trivia. We played and that enhanced our experience. Pizza, pitcher of beer and trivia... can't beat it!

    We stopped by the Pizza Press to have the Valentines day special since it was one of the few pizza parlors in town offering heart shaped pizzas :) The Valentines special included two heart shaped pizzas of choice, warm cookie with vanilla ice cream and two drinks. We had The Times (chicken) and The Chronicle (veggie). The ingredients were fresh, dough was thin and crispy with the perfect sauces drizzled on top. The line moved slightly slowly as it was lunch time and it looked like the constant flurry of customers were all UT students. The staff seemed slightly overwhelmed with the long lines but were trying to be nice nonetheless. It took a while for our order to be prepared. The food was great but the restaurant looked quite dated, especially with rusty vents on the ceiling, right above the prep station of the pizza. There's are a few parking spots available right outside the restaurant entrance.

    The good: I love the ambiance this place has! Being around the communication building, they have a lot of journalism related memorabilia and food named after newspapers, which I think is cool. The root beer on tap is always worth to have. The bad: since they bake your pizzas in front of you, it can take a while to get the food, which also means that there's a pretty long line during lunch or dinner. Also, sometimes the pizza is good, but sometimes, like this time around, a bit salty.

    I went to pizza press last night with my friend and got a build your own. I got a pizza with pepperoni,pineapple, mushrooms, olives, and mushrooms and it was pretty good and flavorful. I know that my pizza sounds disgusting but don't hate on it unless you try it. The service was also tuff as I saw my boy there and he was an absolute chiller. Would highly recommend this place but not for a date as it didn't go so well for me. Furthermore I almost choked and died while eating my pizza so make sure to take small bites and enjoy your pizza !

    Pizza was decent. They have a few options to choose from and different crusts as well as you can build your own pizza. Cauliflower crust is good. Service was okay, had a lady cashier she was rude and seemed like she hated her job and everyone there. Overall ambiance is boring and bland. but if you want to order a late night pizza online and pick it up i'd say it's fairly decent.

    Solid joint by the U. Usually drop by but did not have the chance to rate it. Move in day at UT and Ryan was manning the joint by himself. What a champ as it got busier he handled his business and kept the flow moving. They do have cauliflower crust as well. Fast good pizza with beer on tap. Shout out to Ryan, good food and great service.

    This place has been one of my favorite pizza spots in West Campus. The pizza is customizable to your liking or you can choose from preset options as well. I chose to do the PYO (personalize your own) pizza. There are a lot of topping choices to choose from to really make it your own. The pizza does come in a more thin crust style so it's perfect if that's your preferred style. The place is open and has various booths for you sit at and televisions to watch from. There are also rocking chairs outside and parking, which is nice if you prefer sitting outside to enjoy your food. The service is fairly good. The pizza artists were very patient with my friend as it was his first time eating here and he was browsing through all the possible toppings he could choose from.

    The pizza is nice and is not very expensive. We got two of the signature pizzas and they both turned out to be good. My only complaint is that the pizza is thin crust and is not filling enough, I wish they make the size slightly larger even if it means it costs more.

    Damiana D.

    I've gotten multiple people hooked on this place. The pizza is so good and you can customize it as much as you want. The prices have gone up a lot and is pretty pricey for a personal pizza. The decorations are really cool , but almost every time I go the tables are pretty dirty.

    Great spot to go with friends and enjoy superb pizza! Similar to subway means of ordering. I'm a big fan of adding as much as I can on top to get my money's worth! I knocked it one star based on the price of around $15 (including tip)! TIP: I'd recommend getting a side of ranch at the end of the line! I'd also recommend eating outside! The ambience is nice!

    Ashley C.

    yummy pizza in west campus, close of ut students. like the build your own pizza as you can put unlimited toppings/meats/cheese (limited to one serving per topping). worth the price if you get serval toppings but not a lot of topping choices. definitely fills your pizza craving. fast service. casual ambiance.

    Great salad spot! Came here on a Sunday around 6pm for dinner with a group of 4 and got seated…read moreright away. It wasn't too busy but most of the outdoor tables were taken, although there was plenty of indoor seating available when we visited. We went family style on a bunch of sides including Erin's Mac & Cheese, Korean-Style Chicken Wings, and Kale Fritters. All pretty good. I ordered the Tuna Salad Salad for myself which was good. There were so many to choose from it was difficult to decide. Will definitely be back to try some of the other options!

    This was my first time visiting Vinaigrette in Austin, and I went on a weeknight with my sister. I…read moredidn't realize just how many salads they offer, but I really appreciated that tofu is available as a protein option. What especially caught my attention--perfect for a cool winter evening in Texas--was their mushroom stew with a vegan miso base. We ordered cups of the vegan mushroom stew to start, along with one of the seasonal specials, the yam string fries, and a shared plate of grilled tofu. The mushroom stew was very umami-forward, filled with miso broth and a variety of mushrooms. While it was comforting, it felt like it needed a bit more seasoning--either spice or salt--to really elevate it. I was also expecting something thicker or creamier since it was labeled a "stew," but the base was quite runny and brothy with steamed mushrooms. The grilled tofu was decent, with a nice color on the outside, though it was soft and could have used more flavor. The yam string fries were almost comically thin--extremely shoestring. Dipping them into sauce was a challenge because they were so tiny, but it was still fun to eat them while chatting. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The dining area is comfy and cozy, and the colorful wall décor adds a lot of character. It's a welcoming, relaxed space right on Congress. Overall, Vinaigrette is a cozy Austin spot with casual yet slightly upscale vibes, offering healthy salad, soup, and sandwich options. If that's what you're looking for, it's definitely worth a visit.

    Oh my sweet, sweet Sweetgreen…read more I've always loved their salads and have recently become obsessed with their wraps. Their caesar salad wrap to be specific. Everytime I order from a Sweetgreen the veggies are fresh and the portion size vs. the price is fair. I can usually get two meals out of one order. I want to give major kudos to this location specifically because I accidentally left my wallet while visiting on a Saturday afternoon. After not being able to find my wallet thinking it was in my house somewhere I decided to stop by the Union Market Sweetgreen location to check on Monday. After about 5 minutes of waiting the manager came over to bring me my wallet. Yay! All of my belongings were still in it. I'm grateful for them holding onto my items. I look forward to visiting this location more often especially because they have a lot of seating. And side note, be sure to download their apps. It's super easy to earn rewards if you go there often. Enjoy!

    This Sweetgreen is in the Union Market District, but is not part of the food hall and is a block…read moreover from that. Their hours are a little earlier than most places and most Sweetgreens for some reason. I ordered online and customized a nice salad. I had to pick a bug out of it, but honestly I'm not enraged; I'd like to have those removed during the cleaning process but a small fly hiding in some greenery is a natural thing and these are quality fresh plants. While it is mostly a takeout, the people working there were on point with service, even holding the door open for me.

I…read morearrived around 1pm on a Wed and it was pretty hopping so don't expect it to be empty just because its a weekday! I put in a to-go order for a kibbeh wrap; the price seemed typically high for the area, but when I got my order its quite a sizable wrap so all-in-all a pretty good deal! The food did take about 20 minutes to come out- I wasn't going to complain as there was a line of people the whole time so I could tell it was busy, but when I did get my food they apologized for the wait and gave me some free baklava so even if there had been hard feelings that would have 100% fixed it lol I'm a huge baklava fan and had actually been considering adding some onto my order but didn't because of the long line! So service was great, but most importantly- the food! The kibbe wrap was huge; I managed to finish the whole thing but in two different sittings lol. The kibbe was generous, and the pieces were flavorful and juicy. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the whole thing was lightly sauced but the flavor of the kibbe popped enough that I didn't think it needed more sauce. Delicious and I would 100% order again. Plus the (free!) baklava was top notch! Sometimes you get the ones where the filo dough is a little tough/chewy and it still tastes great but the texture isn't there- not with this baklava! It was tender, delicious, and a perfect end to the meal. Parking was limited on the street but I believe the Triangle has garages also- I was able to snag a short term parking spot for MezzeMe which is actually why I originally decided to check it out!

    RE: Business owner information General Manager…read more Business Manager Jul 17, 2026 Hi Paul, Thank you for your detailed feedback. While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.
