Pizza Cave

I will leave two separate reviews in this post to be fair to the establishment.Pizza Cave is a hopping place with food offerings that included pastas, pizzas, sandwiches, soups and chowders. We had pizza, garlic knots, tomato bisque, salad, spaghetti with meatballs and lasagna. All were so good and delicious. Salads are huge and can be shared. The flavors were on point and just the right hint of garlic. There are so many options to choose from on everything that everyone in your party will be happy. Bar is available with basic beers and basic alcoholic offerings. I was impressed and recommend for those that are in town and looking to grab a bite to eat.Second review- will be overly critical but for good reason and hope to help this family establishment be successful in future catered events. We came to Pizza Cave for a wedding rehearsal dinner for my daughter's wedding. Note: I did not make the arrangements. Observations: this place was already heavily busy which says a lot about quality and popularity of establishment. For them to accommodate a LARGE group on top of that even with advanced notice without knowing how busy their normal clientele would be is a tough task. I would recommend having pitchers of water on the tables ready for guests to arrive. It seemed as they didn't have enough staff on hand to accommodate both the wedding party and regular patrons. We as a party waited quite a bit for drinks. We even wondered if we were to go inside to order. When first round of pizzas came out- it wasn't enough to feed the whole group so many were left waiting for the second round which was a long time. Pizza and nonalcoholic beverages were provided by family. Anything else off the menu was on your own. Many ended up ordering on their own but even then took awhile to come out. It was already dark outside and while they had string lights it was not enough to light up the one table that held the pizza. I recommend LED candles to place around the table as well as a two table set up to allow for space for more pizza and of course to create ambience. Again great place, I would not bring a large group though if you see it's busy. Unless you do not mind waiting. Our group was about 60 people, pre planned and expected. Staffing should have been accounted for but they did a great job keeping up as best as they could and they were all so accommodating and nice.

Absolutely the best pizza in the Austin area! Service is fantastic and the beer is ice cold. What else could you ask for?

Phenomenal!! Joe Cave knows his pizza. We are from the east coast & feel like we are back home ... amazingly fresh. No wonder the area restaurants rely on his knowledge ... and what a fun guy to talk to as well. Passionate entrepreneur. Thanks for a great experience!We ordered the large with crumbled sausage, black olives, mushrooms, bell peppers & fresh basil. To die for.-Ray & Heather

Pizza and calzone were great!!! Caesar salad was good except for dressing - I will have no issues with vampires for a while based on the amount of garlic I ate in the dressing! You guys might want to cut down on the garlic!! The spaghetti and meatballs were also very good!! Highly Recommend

Hey Siri, the salads are beyond incredible! Big huge bowls, full of fresh lettuce and whatever else you wanted in it. The ant pasta salad was delicious. Meatball Parm sub was nice and crunchy and tasty and the meatball pizza was for sure a hit our server Isabelle was very attentive, knowledgeable, courteous with the most beautiful smile. we just arrived from Florida and stopped here for some food and we loved it.

Came here twice within 24 hours while away for a baseball weekend. Great menu offerings with fresh ingredients and portion sizes to leave you stuffed. The breads, pizza dough, and dressings are all house made and delicious. Service was attentive and pleasant. Open kitchen was a great addition to the atmosphere. The outdoor patio with hill country views for miles was tranquil and a pleasant adder to an already stellar meal. Food was on point no matter what we ordered; zero complaints!

Met my parents for lunch on 3/15/24. Dripping Springs pretty much splits the different between the cities we both live. Pizza cave had a nice lunch menu. We decided, however to split a large pizza and family salad between 5 of us and it was plenty of food. We got a 1/2 Classic White (the ricotta was amazing) and 1/2 Alfredo. We got a Caesar Salad... and killed it... because it WAS the Ides of March (that's the dad joke).My parents decided to split the large Philly Cheesesteak sub (didn't get a photo but I swear it looked like 2 larges, not one split in half).The vibe of the restaurant was nice. Clean. It wasn't busy, but it wasn't too loud at all. Had video trivia happened in one corner of you wanted to jump in on your phone. Service was laid back but good. They figured out quickly that putting a pitcher of water on our table was the move. They were right. Overall delicious and we will be back.

Pizza Cave never disappoints. Great pizza, calzones, Stromboli and pasta. The best Caesar salad ever. Our go to!

I don't normally review while still at the place, but yikes!!! We just got a check-in from our server (a very nice, however timid and unsure, young man) for the first time in over 20 mins. He's walked past us dozens of times, checking on other tables. I watched thirstily as he sipped on his soda behind the bar. Meanwhile we haven't had drink in our cups for 20 mins and I flipped our cups upside down on the table almost 15 mins ago. It's been 10 minutes since my plate has been completely empty. The other servers observed my situation and said nothing to me or my server about it. The lack of attention or concern by the entire staff was shocking.Update: despite the issues I left about a 22% cash tip, and a note stating he was a very nice young man, but I recommend working on his steps of service, and his attention/follow-ups. Him and the other servers seemed to find that call to action with an undeserved tip so comical that I watched them all laugh about it through the window. (Shrug) I guess you can lead a horse to water, but...

My husband loved his normal pizza and my gluten free was the worst i have ever eaten. The crust crumbled in my hand with every bite. No flavor. And I paid way more for a HORRIBLE, small gluten free than he paid for a regular 12" pizza, about 1.5x the size of mine. The place also had NO atmosphere whatsoever!Regularly pizza/my husband liked it. Gluten free-absolute No!
