    Omnivore pizza
    Jin S.

    Took a friend from Houston here. Given that Houston has great food, I wanted to take her somewhere that had something she couldn't find in Houston. Enter delicious Detroit pizza. We grabbed a drink at the Star Bar.while we waited. Bartender was friendly and prices were very reasonable, especially for downtown. We got the omnivore and it was really good. A small was enough for us two ladies. Really love this place!

    Plenty of parking in the building. We love their high quality pizza and service. The vibe was relaxed, with a few people of different age groups in quiet conversations with their awesome pizza. I had to try the chai old-fashioned as a fan of their creative holiday cocktails. It was an ethereal pleasure in cinnamon, so don't get it unless you like cinnamon! We tried the three stooges, which we were surprised to be able in Detroit squares. We loved every bit of our experience and look forward to coming back again soon.

    DISCLAIMER: went to West 6th location but it's not on Yelp, so chose the closest one I grabbed a pizza on the late afternoon/early evening of October 5 after leaving Football Sunday early. Usually I don't voluntarily go to a pizza place but sometimes you really just crave a slice (or more than a couple). I'd heard of and seen this chain name on various lists so figured it was worth a shot. I was too shy to ring the bell at the pick up window & was 1/2 way through the online order when staff pulled up the screen. It was easy to order but the staff member accidentally charged me because allegedly I entered the quantity as 2, not 1. He was able to figure out how to void the wrong order but I definitely felt like it was an unfortunate misunderstanding. Ultimately though, I got the four cheese small size. It was surprisingly better than expected but nothing out of this world, hence a 3/3.5. Nina & Rafi in ATL remains my favorite Detroit style restaurant, so far.

    I didn't realize Detroit pizza was something to rave about until I tried Via 313. This was my second time eating it and it was just as amazing as I remembered. I ordered the Cadillac and it was phenomenal. The prosciutto with the balsamic glaze = chef's kiss. The service was fast and there's always been plenty of seating when I go.

    The Cadillac - good

    Do not recommend this location - service is terrible. Called in an order and after a long activity with my family. When we arrived to pick up the pizza my niece was really hungry so we asked if we could dine in at the bar area. They said yes and we grabbed the pizzas I just paid for and tipped well and sat down. I asked for waters, plates, utensils from the bar twice nothing came then from the servers nothing happened they kept saying ok but wouldn't bring it over. Then I went back up to the bar and order drinks they finally brought plates after 20 min. I deeply regret ordering/ eating there as pizza was mid.

    One of the best pizza restaurant in Austin with quick and amazing food! When walking in you will know the food will not disappoint. Ambiance was giving welcoming and friendly vibes. Service was provided making overall experience great. Will be back!

    This is my partner's favorite Via 313 since his college days. He no longer lives in Austin but every time we are back, we have to come here. The pizzas are so hearty and piping hot. They taste yummy even as cold leftovers. There's a bit of a wait for the pizzas so make sure to order an appetizer or keep that in mind. Service was solid and there's plenty of seating. The booths are a bit hard but not too bad.

    I've been to Via 313 before, and it doesn't disappoint. I like how thick the crust and pizza is, and how it's crunchy on the outside but soft and gooey in the middle. The cheese pulls are also to die for. We got the bobo brazil, ambassador, and the monthly special which was the vodka pizza. I liked different aspects of all three of them. The hot honey from one, the marinara and ricotta from another, and the fresh basil and lighter quality of the vodka pizza. The service was solid, and there's nothing to complain about. I liked how rustic the ambiance of this restaurant was. There's a set of stairs inside, so there's a higher up seating area, and a lower seating area, which is nice to separate the space.

    Yes, there is a covered parking garage attached to the shopping center where Via 313 is located.

    Amazing pizza! This is the BEST pizza I have ever had and was wondering if the restaurant would ship to California?

    Call and ask them.

    Do they sell the GF dough to go?

    Hi Liana, thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately we don't sell our dough by itself at this time. We do offer fully cooked Gluten Free pizzas to go, though!

This was so good, I'm not really a pizza person and honestly only came because of the great reviews. Well, I was wrong, this is the best pizza I've ever had I'm usually keto, so I normally don't eat the crust edge. But this time, I actually ate the crust first before getting to the toppings. It's thin, crunchy, and has such a great texture and flavor. I finished the slice right away and forgot to take a picture. I also ordered the Garlic Knots. They come four to an order, but I wasn't sure I wanted that many. Kat told me I could order just one, which was really nice. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my favorite, a little too doughy for me. And then there was the Tiramisu. Wow! It's so good, not overly sweet like other tiramisu and the texture is light, fluffy, and smooth. They were busy during my visit, but the service was still great. Kat was friendly and made my first visit a really enjoyable one. Definitely coming back if I visit Austin again

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such positive energy and a warm welcome, which made for a great first impression.

My daughter ordered the stuffed crust pizza, which is filled with ricotta cheese. It was her first time trying ricotta, and unfortunately, it wasn't her favorite. I built my own pizza with Italian sausage, onions, and fresh basil, and I highly recommend adding the garlic butter, it was the perfect finishing touch and added so much flavor. Overall, the pizza was good, and the friendly service made the experience even better. While it wasn't quite the style of pizza I'd personally rave about, I can absolutely see why so many people enjoy it. If you're visiting Austin and looking for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, Desano is definitely worth trying.

I enjoyed the thin and crispy crust on all the slices, and I thought the flavor combinations were decent with the exception of the lemon pepper panko on the tomato tomatoe slice...

    I love Baldinuccis. Reminds me of home (NY). I have been to the south location and now tried the…read moreDomain location. The restaurant is open, good seating, the display of pizza in the case is very appealing and appetizing. Its decor is well done. The pizza has fresh ingredients and tastes great. Crust is perfect. The lasagna was good but I would rather stick with the pizza. Just my taste. I did have the cannolis and compliments to them- they were authentic. Creamy, crispy shell, and the pistachio and chocolate chips were very good. My favorite. I suppose my only complaint was the pizza and lasagna were a little cool. It should have been a little warmer. The other issue which I hope they take note and move right away is the trash for plates and silverware. It is directly next to the fresh silverware and takeout boxes. That caught my attention and it's not a good place for the trash. Definitely plan to come back, it is worth coming and trying all the food items they have. Next time I might try one of the hot sandwiches and maybe some gelato but definitely the cannoli. That is the make or break for this NY Italian. Thanks for coming to the Domain. I am excited you are near my work. Best of luck.

    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.
