been all over the world had many many pizzas.....for a thin crust lover you can't go past the Smoked brisket wood fired pizza with rocket (or whatever they call that type of plant in the US) it is possibly fhe best pizza I ever had.

The most delicious & beautiful pizza I’ve ever had. Excellent service and the location was tiny but intimate. But the pizza...the pizza was amazing and now I don’t think I’ll be able to eat pizza anywhere else ever again!

Beautiful ambiance and excellent food. Very authentic Italian pizza and all the starters we shared were delicious. I‘m sure we will be back on our next Austin visit.

Upscale brick oven pizzeria without the pretentious attitude commonly found in these establishments. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff friendly. We sat at the bar, and even though we only ordered Cokes to drink with our meal, the bartender was extremely attentive. Often bartenders turn a cold shoulder if you're not ordering alcohol, so l noticed and appreciated the service. As others have stated, make reservations!

Brick oven pizza with a toasty bottom and mozzarella cheese salad with balsamic dressing - all amazing food and the service was excellent. Reservations are needed after 6:30-7:00pm but that’s okay!
