1. Frank and Angie's on 5th Street
Every native Austinite knows about Frank and Angie's. This little slice of heaven is located between 5th and 6th Street on West Avenue in downtown Austin. The first thing you notice is the Italian atmosphere on the walls, tables, and in the decorations. Frank Sinatra, Tony Soprano, the New York Yankees, etc. Of course, the pizza is delivered fresh to your table after you take in the atmosphere. The whole experience, including wine, makes you feel like you are in a different time and place. Great food, great atmosphere. Great place for a special date or anniversary.
2. Mangia's Pizza.
I know, this place is a chain, but it is a local chain! Deep dish Chicago style pizza with some unique Austin toppings like low-fat mozzarella, BBQ chicken, jalepenos, and spicy sauces. Couple that with a fine dark beer on tap, and you have a great meal. This is the only place that I have found that has New Belgium's 1554 beer on tap!
3. New York Style Pizza
If you live in South Austin, Home Slice is the finest. It is on South First street, about a mile south of Riverside Drive. If you live in North Austin, check out the Brooklyn Pie Company in La Frontera shopping center in Round Rock. Both of these places are authentic New York style pizza places and are fantastic for a quick lunch or a dinner with friends.
In a city that is known for barbeque and hamburgers, Austin has some of the best mom-and-pop pizza places in Texas. Go check them out!
