Favorite Pizza

I live downtown and after sampling several pizza places including homeslice and 313, this has become my go-to. As far as NY slice, im from Jersey and this is the typical Northeast pie. The pepperoni is top tier. It has fresh basil embedded under the cheese and a nice crust (not too thin, not too thick.)Its always weird when i see this place left off the top pizzas in austin lists. But thats ok for me. I get my pizza faster.

I haven't been here in a while and I was craving a slice of pizza and it was close by to where i was working (trying to be all cool at codependent). I was kinda pumped thinking maybe I was too hard on the place in my last review over a 2.5 years ago.Nah, I wasn't. In fact, pizza has been getting much better in Austin so folks all around should step up their game. Similar to last time, I get annoyed at how much a simple slice of pizza costs but moreso how much a can of diet soda is.And then there's the pizza. So they warm it up in like a blast furnace for steel or something, because it's insanely hot. And funny thing, the slice actually looks pretty good. But amazingly, it has no taste whatsoever. Decent texture though.I will most likely continue to swing by every once in a while and get angry at how much it costs, how little it tastes, and the burns I get on the roof of my mouth from the molten steel warming process.

As you've seen me post before about this, I'm an East Coast pizza expert. Austin has very few places that can compare.Favorite makes me feel like I'm scrolling through St. Marks at 3 a.m. munching down on a slice. What does this mean, you wonder? It means it's a damn good slice of pizza. Crust is just the right thickness (thin) and the sauce tastes like it was made by a Brooklyn Nana.The sauce, cheese, and crust ratio are perfectly balanced to set off yum alerts with every bite that hits your tongue. My mouth and stomach thank them.

A friend of ours that lived in New York for a while said Favorite Pizza was THE BEST NY style pizza she has had in Austin. Naturally we just HAD to check it out for ourselves. Sunday to Thursday they have a deal with a large cheese or pepperoni pizza with a pitcher of beer for $22. Pretty great deal! Went with a large pepperoni with side of ranch and Tyler(I believe he is the manager) threw in some sort of special sauce they have to try since it was our first visit. I really enjoyed the pizza! They did not skimp on the pepperonis, the bottom of the pizza is super crunchy and the crust fluffy, but still crunchy. I only wish he had more red sauce, but I'm a big sauce person. I feel it's very comparable to Homeslice, but I like this price point better ha oh and their ranch is sooooo good. I did like it over the special sauce we got. I wish I remembered the name.On a gorgeous day like this was I recommend sitting out on the patio. It's not very large, but they have a TV and umbrellas. Fun people watching too. Tyler was super nice and they happened to pour the wrong beer for someone and he offered us the additional pitcher. So that was very nice!Oh and the restroom is super cute with a disco ball!!!We'll definitely be back and I want to try the Cesar Salad and some specialty pizzas.

Oops, I gotta dock a star. We came through hungry after a few drinks. $45 got us 3 slices, 2 awful cups of wine, and probably the worst ranch I've ever had.Not bad, not great. Just okay.

Small spot definitely attracts an out & about drinking crowd. The wait was a little long but worth it for the super hot & fresh full pizza we ordered. Wouldn't go out of my way to go order but still is one of the better local pizzas in Austin

I'm eating a slice after my team lost on Sunday. Honestly, this does cheer me up. Really crispy crust, light cheese (but enough), good classic pepperoni pizza flavor (NY style). It's not perfect, but for the price + speed + location it's well worth it.

Awesome New York style pizza, Italian sandwiches and salads. My personal favorites are the pepperoni pizza slice, chicken Parmesan sub, Italian sub and boozy slushes. Staff is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is incredible. It's like stepping off a sidewalk in downtown Austin and being transported to a pizza shop in Brooklyn. I did stop in there for lunch on Sept 30 (Mets doubleheader against Braves for a playoff spot) and they didn't have the Mets game on!! I was surprised that a Mets themed restaurant didn't have the biggest Mets game of the year on (ESPN News or something was on the TV), but maybe the lunchtime staff just isn't Mets fans? Still, that's gotta be -1 star One of my favorite spots in Austin regardless!

Thank you Austin, this little but great pizza place. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good work.

They don't honor the prices printed in their menu or online, they add a "takeout service charge" when you come pick up your pizza on your own and take it out, and they put so little sausage on your pizza that you paid for that you wonder if your pizza is actually just a cheese pizza that a couple of sausages accidentally fell on. I showed them the price on their menu, and their retort was simply, "Oh yeah, the manager has not changed the prices on the menu on online yet." I was really hoping to like this place to have a go-to downtown pizza place, but their idea that you can simply charge whatever you want regardless of what you do or don't advertise is just wrong and shows a complete lack of integrity and customer service.
