Still love Home Slice

Via 313 is also great but out of the way

I enjoyed DeSano on north burnet but it's pretty pricy.

For a quick pizza I've started to like Mod Pizza. 

where else should I try?

 Craig O's or Southside Flying Pizza have good lunch deals. ConansVia, East Side Pies and Home Slice for dinner and dinner prices.

Saccone's 

Reale's

Brooklyn Heights used to be our go to, but the quality has suffered at the Parmer Lane / Avery Ranch location since they opened the second store off Crystal Falls.

^ Damn. Hadn't been there in years but was definitely in my regular rotation in college. <csb> Was actually where I stopped at for lunch with my folks when we came into town to tour the campus while in high school. </csb> That 29th/Guadalupe area keeps taking some hard L's too, what with Ruby's and the old Conan's recently gone. Quick, somebody go check on Ken's!

Went to Milto’s a lot in law school in late 90s. Went again a couple years ago and thought it was still solid. Sucks they’ll be gone.

It’t the same phenomenon with Burnet Road. I love the new restaurants and other vitality of the area, but there are some unfortunate casualties.

is that the one in a trailer near the HCG?

Yep.

 

Thread inspired a new place too.  Went to Pizzeria Costra Nostra off 71 in spicewood.  Enjoyed the pies. Strong showing.  Nice Crust. Real similar to backdraft in style and execution. Place is only a few weeks old, but they are a contender.  Online review suggest that the service is still ironing out the kinks.  We were there early and service was fine.  We were the only people eating there and most were doing pick ups though.

Mangia used to do a pizza with chorizo and cheese as the filling, with a picante-type sauce and jalepenos on top. Miss that one.

How the hell was Backspace not already mentioned?  Great pizza.  Shawn's son & our youngest went to elementary school together -- that dude can cook.

Our kids are a bit younger than Shawn’s, but we know them through the Highland Park/Lamar circle. In addition to his culinary skills, he’s an incredibly nice guy. We were sad to see Bullfight close.

Yup, don't give a rat's ass what any of the other assholes on this site say, I still enjoy Mangia.

Know him well for the same reasons. Amazing family. We probably know each other.

Matthews in Baltimore City is legendary, and we’ve been there a bunch since the move. Finally got the Crab Pie the other night, which is just a shitload of crab meat with onion, cheese and Old Bay baked into the mother fucker.

Pieous 

Went to new location for first time today. Pizza was good but holy shit that pastrami. It had been too long.

yeah, I loved it but was shocked by the price. They don't have prices on the website for a reason. Was at a friends house near there, called and ordered 3 pizzas for pick up, gave the person picking it up $100 and they came back with less than $20.

Wife and I are big fans of Bufalina Due in our hood.  I don't ever think we've sat anywhere other than the bar, which is nice because they usually hire quality talent.  Excellent pizza, solid starters, and great wine list.

Backdraft moving to domain area in partnership with 4th tap. Gonna have to go down 71 for pizza now. 

As in Domain proper or are you talking about the Backdraft food truck that's been in the 4th Tap parking lot for awhile?

I work approximately 100 yards away, I guess I should try their pizza.

Not sure. That was basically what I was told at the truck before it moved a few weeks back. How long has there been a back draft truck at 4th tap. Never been.

Wife dragged me to Blanco today for some festival, I said I'd go if we could try Pieous on the way back.

Damn.  That is some REALLY good pizza.  I'd put it well above Homeslice, Salvation, and maybe better than Backspace.  Outstanding crust, legit sauce, great flavorful toppings.  We got the "Smokey Italian", which is topped with their house-smoked Italian sausage and some spiced up onions.  Nice heat, tons of flavor.  

I'm going back when I can, it's a bit out of the way, but Austin is fairly pizza-deficient.  I'll take a great pie like that any day.
