Best Pizza in Austin
Austin, Texas — updated August 24, 2026
Eight Austin pizza spots ranked by what their ratings actually prove, from a Crestview deli counter with thousands of reviews to newer kitchens still building a record.
Listings verified
Austin's pizza is not concentrated downtown. The strongest addresses on this list sit in Crestview and Hyde Park north of the river, along South First and St. Elmo to the south, and in one case inside a brewery on Promontory Point. Several are takeout counters rather than dining rooms, so the ranking below weighs how settled each rating is: a high score from a few dozen reviews is a signal, not a verdict.
1. Little Deli & Pizzeria
No other pizza place in Austin has this much evidence behind it. Little Deli holds a 4.8 across more than 2,300 reviews, a figure that has survived years of turnover in the city's food scene and leaves very little room for doubt. It operates out of Unit A at 7101 Woodrow Ave in Crestview, a small storefront in a neighborhood strip rather than a destination building. Expect a line at peak lunch and dinner hours; the volume of reviews reflects the volume of customers. If you are only eating one pizza in Austin and want the safest bet, this is it.
2. Pedroso's Pizza-Take Out
Pedroso's matches Little Deli's 4.8 rating with 644 reviews behind it, which is far past the point where a score can be explained by a friendly opening month. The name states the format plainly: this is a takeout operation at 2207 Justin Ln, suite D, off Justin Lane in North Austin, not a place to linger over a table. Plan to order ahead and eat elsewhere, whether that means a car, a park or a kitchen table. Among Austin pizza places at this rating level, it is the one most people have not tried yet.
3. Feral Pizza
Feral has the highest rating on this list, a 4.9, and the honest caveat is that it comes from 162 reviews rather than thousands. That is a real sample and enough to take seriously, but it is a newer, smaller record than the two places above it. The address is 500 E 51st St, which puts it in reach of Hyde Park and the neighborhoods east of Duval. For anyone who has already worked through Austin's established pizza names, this is the strongest current argument that the list is still changing.
4. La Volta Pizza Club
La Volta is the best-reviewed pizza option close to downtown, at 900 W 10th St in Clarksville, holding a 4.6 across 418 reviews. That combination matters: a mid-4s rating that holds steady over several hundred visits is more reliable than a 4.8 over thirty. It is also the entry most useful to anyone staying near the Capitol or west downtown, where the walkable pizza choices thin out quickly. The club framing suggests a sit-down room rather than a counter, so treat it as a dinner plan rather than a pickup stop.
5. Allday Pizza: Hyde Park
The Hyde Park location at 4300 Speedway carries a 4.4 from 258 reviews, the lowest average here but with a broader base than most. That pattern usually means a busy kitchen serving a lot of people rather than an inconsistent one, and the corner of Speedway and 43rd is dense with students and neighborhood regulars. It sits directly in the Hyde Park walking radius, which is the practical reason to choose it over the higher-rated places a few miles north. Worth knowing there is more than one Allday address in town, so confirm which one you are ordering from.
6. Side Eye Pie @Meanwhile Brewery
This is the pizza-and-beer entry: Side Eye Pie runs out of Meanwhile Brewery at 3901 Promontory Point Dr in Southeast Austin, with a 4.5 from 149 reviews. The rating is decent and the review count is moderate, which means the food record is promising rather than proven. The setup is the real draw. You are eating in a brewery taproom, so the visit works for a group that wants to stay a while, and pizza kitchens inside breweries typically follow the taproom's hours rather than a restaurant's. Check the brewery schedule before driving out.
7. The Pizza Den
The Pizza Den holds a 4.7, but from only 69 reviews, so this is a promising early record rather than a settled one. It is tucked into Ste E-2 at 440 E St Elmo Rd, in the St. Elmo warehouse district south of Ben White, an area that has collected small food operations in industrial suites. Places in that setting often keep limited days and shorter hours than a standalone restaurant, so confirm before making the drive. For South Austin residents already headed to St. Elmo, it is the closest thing to a neighborhood pizza find on this list.
8. Days pizza
Days has the thinnest record here: a 4.6 from 46 reviews. That is enough to suggest people leave happy and not enough to call it proven, and it lands last for that reason alone rather than for anything in the feedback. The address is 7800 S 1st St, well down South First in far South Austin, where good pizza is harder to come by than in the Hyde Park and Crestview corridor. Locals in 78745 have a shorter drive here than to anything above it, which is the main case for going.
