Downtown Austin Pizza To Try This Weekend

Here are some of the best pizza eateries in Downtown Austin, according to Yelp. Which one is your favorite?

1. Hoboken Pie

718 Red River St

Yelp reviewer Fallon L. from Houston, TX said: “Being nice goes a long way in the service industry. Pair that with great food and you have a winner.

This place was so small and often overlooked as it’s not part of Austin’s hustle and bustle. But if you don’t try it, you’re missing out. The pizza was so fresh. The sauce was fantastic. I could taste the tomatoes and not just a bunch of salt. Tons of toppings, the crust was crispy and held everything, just the perfect amount of cheese that it wasn’t greasy. We got the supreme at 14” and it was just right for 2 hungry people. Fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. The guy behind the counter was super nice and they were kicking out pizzas fast enough to not have anyone waiting too long.”

2. Numero28

452 W 2nd St

Yelp reviewer Li D. from Dallas, TX said: “This place is fantastic! If you’re looking for authentic italian, this is it! The manager was very nice and attentive. We started with the Arancina and Caponata con crostini for appetizers and then got the Lasagna and Baked Ziti. Everything was well seasoned and extremely delicious.”

3. The Backspace

507 San Jacinto

Yelp reviewer M K P. from Austin, TX said: “We had a great experience there a month ago. The pizza was amazing and the appetizers were good but not as impressive. Good wine selection and the dessert with butterscotch was addictive. Small space so make reservations for table seating or you can sit at the counter which allows you to watch them prepare the food. Will go back soon.”

4. Due Forni

106 E 6th St

Yelp reviewer Jason S. from Austin, TX said: “I came in for a night downtown. Wanted pizza so walked into Due Forni. The staff asked for my name and used it throughout the night. Rarely does that happen to me so that was a nice touch. They whole time they were pretty friendly. I ordered a Due Forni (pizza whose name matches the title). It was really good. The rest of the menu is pretty awesome too and I’ll definitely have to come back and try those.”

5. Stony’s Pizza-Red River

610 Red River

Yelp reviewer Gerald B. from Austin, TX said: “I thought I only liked this pizza because it tasted AMAZING after hitting the bars but then they came to my office and I found out that it is also AMAZING after working hard all morning. Highly recommended!”
