Pieous

This is NOT a pie place . Its a great foodie establishment with owners who are obsessed with high quality ingredients and making delicious foods. Nice friendly and helpful service. Casual dining with good wine, beer options. Indoor and outdoor seating to being a date, your colleagues for lunch, your dog, your kids, or a family outing! Whats good... well Everything.- the coffee yum!-the amazing pastries made daily they are sooo good. Reminds me of being in France or Italy with those light buttery pastry shops-the tiramisu is to die for and not too sweet.-the insane pizzas on amazing thin crust made to order. This is the type of pie that you will eat the crust! Our favs.. the Margherita and the Fat Queen!-we come back time and time again for the Cesar salad. The homemade dressing, the thin made croutons. Soooo good. My daughter and I crave this and if there was a salad award this would win every year!-the pastrami of course is uber famous being on Guy's Diners Drive ins and Dives. You can tell the pastrami is a labor of love.Well folks all you are left to do is come here! It's off 290 in the chic-fil-a parking lot. Take a break from the burgers and chicken and expand your plate to what great hand made pizza and other delicious foods should taste like!Fresh, complex in flavors, premium ingredients and amazing owners!!

I went back to Pieous for lunch the other day and I take back my previous review of their pizza. We ordered the Brussels pizza and added bacon because it sounded unique and I was there with a girlfriend. Both of us wanted to venture towards a vegetable-forward pizza that we'd never be able to share with our husbands. It was delicious! Then we shared a Tiramisu for dessert and two glasses of wine. I think Pieous will now make it's way into our lunch rotation.Service-wise, it is counter service. The girl who rang us up with a smile and was able to split our tab in half. Our food was brought out to us and since we lingered for a bit of conversation, someone came and cleared our table as well.The ambiance seems modern to me. My only suggestion would be to add physcial menus, unless I missed them. As some other reviews have mentioned, they have a pretty extensive menu, but I forgot my glasses so it was challenging for my old eyes. I ended up pulling the menu up on my phone but then felt self-conscious for taking so long to decide and just ordered. I don't regret my choices, but that would be me only piece of feedback to make my experience better.

Came here for lunch this Sunday afternoon. Walked right on and you have to order right away at the counter. The menu is quite extensive so, I started to feel the pressure as people lined up behind us. I only saw the starters and salads and went with the Mixed Leaf salad and a pepperoni pizza. Pro tip, know before you go. There are lots and lots of options.... There are also qr codes on the table, so not sure if ordering tableside is an option.The salad was very basic, but delicious. Their handmade mozzarella was excellent and the mixed greens and tomatoes were nice and fresh. The balsamic dressing was tasty. Very good, but morning spectacular.The pizza was good. The crust edges were nice and chewy, but the pizza was super floppy and, dare I say, slightly soggy. The pepperoni has a nice crunch, but lots of greasiness. It was pretty tasty, but I think could have benefited from more crispiness.Make sure you ask for extra red pepper flakes if you like the heat .They were a little bit stingy considering they brought us a near empty container.Service was lovely. Everyone was nice and they came and cleared the table as we finished up. Overall, it was a good lunch. I would probably return if I'm in the area as there are a ton of other options to try.

We only ate here by mistake, When we go the show times wrong for our movie, But I'm so glad we did! I'll start with the problem. It's a pizza joint, and the pizzas are just... okay. Nothing wrong with it, it's good enough, it's just nothing special. Not at all what you would pick if you were REALLLY wanting a good pizza. Which is, you know, odd, since it's a pizza place. But the salad, and the deserts?!?I don't know how often I'll get to go here, because my husband LOVES pizza, so I place with just "okay" pies is a hard sell, but I truly would go back a million times for the bread pudding alone. It haunts my dreams.

Pieous is a fun choice if you want to switch your pizza night up. The folks here are always super nice and knowledgeable and the space is really casual which is pretty awesome for us folks with younger kids lol.Tonight we ordered:Pastrami - it's always good, no notes.White pizza with added mushrooms - the mushrooms are violently buttery and they give you a wonderful amount. This is what I mean when I ask to add mushrooms to a pizza. The dough is super chewy and the crust crunchy. Brussel sprout salad - a very lovely addition to a rich meal. The dressing is tangy and a little sweet which helped cut the savory flavors. Pieous is a nice break from typical pizza joints.

Stopped by here to get some food as we were coming to town for a wedding. Pizza here was yummy. We had 4 adults share 3 pizzas. We got the pesto, house on fire, and Brussels and jam. My favorite of these was the house on fire. It definitely had some spice on it so beware if you can't handle spicy. The Brussels and jam was a pretty close second.We had to order at the register because it was Friday night but I think at other times you can order via QR code on your phone. This helps avoid the line for sure!

For appetizer we got the sampler. It was questionable. Everything on the sampler was not that great. The olives were too salty. The chickpeas were partially burn. Pizzas are burn on the rim. I know pizzas should have a nice char on the bottom but this one is overly done with that char.

I was so excited to come try this spot because I am a huge fan of Guy Ferrari and Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. He came here and said they have the best pastrami sandwich, pizza, and baked goods. When we arrived there was a long line we waited in to order at the counter. It was about 5pm and quite a bit was already sold out. We didn't get to try any of the baked goods unfortunately but ordered a pepperoni pizza, salad, and the pastrami sandwich. It wasn't cheap either. No ranch for pizza either - which I get but should be an option. The salad was fine. Nothing special. The pizza was good but it wasn't life changing. It was just a normal pizza. I would order it again but wouldn't go out of my way just to get this specific pizza. And the pastrami was okay. It was pretty dry. The best part of the sandwich was the homemade bread. I don't like how all the food came out of tin plates. Very casual ambience. Can definitely come here in your sweatpants - not fancy at all. Very kid friendly - kids were running all around. I think this is a good lunch spot but wouldn't come for dinner again.Pros: pizza, go for lunch Cons: price, casual ambience, dry

Came here recently as I was in the area. Was interested in their pizza. I thought the name Pieous looked familiar - like maybe it was a food truck in Austin a while back? I wasn't sure so I asked - she said no - but it kept sticking in my head for some reason - so I asked if she was sure? She said yes, this is their location. I was still confused and maybe it's just me - but I believe I had their pizza before but not at this location. HmmmOk well now to the food. They have a large menu here. Almost like the Cheesecake Factory of pizza places. They also have sandwiches here, a lot of pastrami offerings. It was tempting but I read quite a few mediocre and inconsistent reviews, so I chose to just stick to their pizza. After some thought I went for the pizza with the prosciutto and arugula and I think mozz shavings. Food came out timely. The pizza was good, but it could of had more cheese in it. Plenty of arugula which made me happy. I liked the taste, pretty straight forward, but I felt like I was eating a pizza that was dominated by too much dough. Hope that makes sense - but I felt like the crust of the pizza was just too large, and they could have extended the ingredients out farther to the edges by at least 1/2 inch. I wasn't too pleased about that. Not sure if they ever thought of this - but I think it would be great if they tossed the arugula in some sort of lemon olive oil vinaigrette and then put that on the pizza instead of undressed greens. I think that would take this to a whole new level. (I've actually had that in Boston and it was phenomenal). Now the dough - that was the main theme for my pizza experience here. A lot of it It's chewy which I like, but it's bland and lacks flavor. And like I said I felt like I was eating a pizza with a lot of bland dough. Now - if that dough was seasoned, or buttered, or flavored, almost like a tasty seasoned breadstick....well I wouldn't be complaining at all. But there was so much dough left, and it was so bland in flavor, I got tired of it and threw a lot of it out as I didn't want to eat plain bread - if that makes sense. So that's why the 3-stars "OK" experience fits here. Now we could have done a 2-star "Could have been better" rating, but I did not feel that was appropriate for Pieous because the quality is pretty solid and better than most other pizza places. Quality goes a long way. But I'm all about utilization, optimization, quality, and giving value to the customer. So I would love to see less of the outer crust dough (which means just give me a half-inch little bit more of sauce and cheese and toppings) - and maybe with the rest of the dough if we can somehow season it, or add some rosemary, or olive oil butter and garlic - oh hell yeah - then I would be more than happy to eat the whole damn pizza and there would be no leftover (bland doughy) crust here. - and no complaints as well! I would just ask for a side of red sauce or really good homemade ranch to dip my leftover seasoned dough please. Now that would be a nice improvement, and some additional revenue as well. Like Phil Knight says - Just Do It. Well like I say - - Just Try It!

I can't say enough good things. I met the owner under different circumstances in 2021 and I have to say, he's the kindest and most sincere I've met in Austin and I don't say that often. It's worth it to come knowing that he's involved alone in this labor of love. I didn't know what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. The service was fast and efficient and the ambiance is so refreshing and fits perfectly in Dripping Springs. There is an astroturf little hill for kids and nice lighting outside. While I was there, a bunch of toddlers who just left ballet were running around. I got the eggplant pizza and it was perfect. Not overdone, but also nice and moist. I don't really like a dry New York style and prefer Chicago, so this was right up my alley and not overly thick, with a nice soupy middle. It's a lot like the best eggplant Parmesan and the sauce is great. I'll be back because I want to try the whole menu, especially the brussel and jam pizza. Thank you and to the owner, there is NO one like you and that is your superpower.
