Where to Find the Best Pizza in Austin
Austin, Texas — updated August 22, 2026
Eight Austin pizza spots ranked by what the ratings actually prove, from a Crestview deli counter with thousands of reviews to a brewery slice window in the southeast.
Listings verified
Austin's pizza is scattered rather than clustered: a deli counter in Crestview, a takeout window off Justin Lane, a pie operation running out of a brewery taproom in the southeast. Ranking it means separating the places with years of consensus behind them from the newer ones still building a record. Below, the order runs from most-proven to most-promising, with the review counts stated so you can judge for yourself.
1. Little Deli & Pizzeria
The most settled reputation on this list by a wide margin: 4.8 stars across 2,399 reviews, a figure very few Austin restaurants of any kind reach. That combination of a high rating and a large sample is the strongest evidence available that the pizza is consistent rather than occasionally good. It sits at 7101 Woodrow Ave Unit A in Crestview, tucked into a small commercial strip rather than a restaurant row, so plan on parking on the neighborhood streets nearby. Given the volume of people who have found it, expect company at peak meal times.
2. Pedroso's Pizza-Take Out
A 4.8 rating held across 644 reviews puts Pedroso's second here on the same logic that puts Little Deli first: the score is high and the sample is large enough to trust. The name sets the expectation clearly, so treat this as a pickup operation rather than a sit-down dinner. It is at 2207 Justin Ln suite D, in the same broad Crestview and Brentwood pocket as Little Deli, which makes the two easy to compare on separate nights. Call ahead or order ahead if you are working around a schedule.
3. Show Me Pizza
Strong numbers on both axes: 4.7 stars from 504 reviews, enough volume that the rating is not a fluke of a few enthusiastic early customers. Show Me sits at 2809 S 1st St, on the South First corridor south of the river, an area dense with food options and correspondingly tight on parking during evening rushes. Of the south-side pizza places here, it has the deepest review record, which makes it the safer pick when you want a known quantity rather than an experiment.
4. Feral Pizza
The highest rating in this guide, 4.9, but from 162 reviews, so read it as promising rather than proven. That is still a substantial number of people in agreement, and a 4.9 held at that volume is unusual. Feral is at 500 E 51st St, on the eastern edge of the Hyde Park area, close enough to campus and the neighborhoods north of it to be a short drive from either. If the score holds as the count climbs, this one moves up the list.
5. La Volta Pizza Club
A 4.6 average across 418 reviews, which is a well-tested score in a part of town where casual pizza is thinner on the ground. La Volta is at 900 W 10th St, west of downtown near Clarksville, making it one of the more central options here and a reasonable stop before or after something downtown. The review volume matters: 418 people converging on 4.6 is more informative than a higher rating from a few dozen, so treat this as reliable rather than exceptional.
6. Side Eye Pie @Meanwhile Brewery
Pizza inside a taproom, at 3901 Promontory Point Dr in southeast Austin, which makes it the pick when the plan is beer first and dinner second. The rating is 4.5 from 149 reviews, a modest sample, so the score is less locked in than the places above it. Because it operates within Meanwhile Brewery, its hours are tied to the taproom rather than to a standard restaurant schedule, so confirm before making the drive out. Good group option given the space a brewery affords.
7. Days pizza
The thinnest evidence on this list: 4.6 stars from 46 reviews. That is a good early sign and not much more, so go in curious rather than expecting a settled favorite. Days is at 7800 S 1st St, further south on the same corridor as Show Me Pizza, in a stretch of far south Austin where sit-down options are more spread out. Worth a look if you live nearby and want to try something before it either builds a record or does not.
8. Allday Pizza: Hyde Park
The most-reviewed of the lower-rated entries here: 4.4 stars across 258 reviews. Unlike the newer places above, that score is fairly well established, which means the rating is what it is rather than a small-sample wobble. The Hyde Park location is at 4300 Speedway, in a walkable stretch of the neighborhood north of the university, so it works as a neighborhood stop more than a destination drive. Listed under activities rather than restaurants, so check the format before planning a full meal around it.
