Carmela's Pizzeria Cafe & Deli

Every time we stay in dripping springs, we grab some food from Carmela's. The pizza is good and always hits the spot after a long day hiking/swimming. The young lady at the cash register was very courteous and provided great service. We haven't dined in, always get take out and never been disappointed here. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

True home style Italian with a local flare. Their Carmella's Special Pizza is one of the best and their pasta and entrees are all amazing as well.

We visited for a birthday dinner and the food was good and the server was really nice. We had a great time with delicious Italian food and really enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant was popular and couples and families were visiting. It's very welcoming.

We regularly order their supreme pizza it is best around this area!! Service is fast ambiance is very nice.

I absolutely LOVE this little neighborhood Italian place! The owner is the SWEETEST, and it is truly some of the BEST pizza in Drip! My tastebuds LOVE "supporting local" at Carmela's!!!

Normally come here for the pizza, but lasagna quickly rose to be the of the show for us. Incredible flavor! I think everybody had a bite at the table and we pretty much all shared it!! Worth a stop!

Impromptu weekend getaway to Dripping Springs for hiking and visiting the area parks, wineries and olive oil company. After searching for a place to get pizza we found Carmela's. Drive the windy, dark country route 12 to the restaurant and at first we weren't too enthused about the place as it's located in a small shopping strip attached to a gas station but I'm so glad we didn't judge a book by its cover. The parking lot was full so we figured we'd try it out and we were not disappointed. Since we were a party of two we sat at the bar. Service was great. We got our complimentary bread with olive oil & herbs. I ordered a Cabernet and enjoyed a local Texas wine from Becker Vineyards. Ended up ordering a pasta entree and chose the Mama Carmela's Verona Chicken which was a lemon piccata dish with capers, artichokes and a lovely white wine lemon sauce. My husband also ordered a pasta entree and even with the extra bread and two glasses of wine and sodas we made it out of there for less than $90!! What a great deal and So delicious!! I'd come back for sure if we wander our way back through Dripping Springs.

This place is not crowded but the pizza is amazing! Also, they have the best beer prices in Austin/Dripping Springs. I'll be back here soon. So good. Two thumbs up!!!

Great food! Needed to serve a group of 7 in a pinch. Carmela's was right down the road from our airbnb so we went for it. The food was very good! The service was great (young man) behind the bar and the dessert case was a spectacle - we took almost one of everything and it was amazing. Recommend to anyone in the area!

If I could give 10 stars I would. Carly was so friendly and very attentive. The penne with shrimp was delicious and the fresh bread was so so good!
