The Backspace catered for our wedding and they were AMAZING!! They did such a great job with the table set ups, food and service. They exceeded our expectations above and beyond anything we could have imagine. Everyone was giving us complements all night about how great the food was. Hiring backspace for our wedding was the best!

I took my BF for a casual date night and loved this place! The staff were super-attentive and nice. The food was delicious. They've got thin pizza down! The crust was just chewy enough and had a warm, woody, essence from the oven. The toppings were top notch. I'll be back!

Reservations are recommended because this place is really small. The pizza was good but the music was so loud that it was hitting 100db on my decibel meter on my phone...that's "dangerous" level. The place was full so why try to drown out table conversation with loud music that nobody cares about anyway?

Il est fort conseillé de réserver, cela peut être fait en ligne c’est assez pratique. Nous restions 2 jours à Austin et avions envie d’un bon restaurant, nous n’avons pas été déçu ! Pizza cuites au feu de bois, assiettes de charcuterie, fromage.. On s’est régalés et le personnel et très agréable.
