My wife and I live about 30 mins away, but we had a staycation in Austin, so she took me here for the first time for lunch (I’ve only lived in Central Texas a couple years). We weren’t starving, so we just got stuff to share: Garlic Knots, Slice of Pizza and Half an Italian Sub. I was SUPER happy about it! I’m from upstate New York, and I’d put that slice up against anyone up there. And I’m a fat guy — soooooo consider me a pizza sommelier! Garlic Knots: These were just OK — I’d be fine not (see what I did there?) getting them again. I need more garlic butter on top! (Pictured: 2 of 4 knots) Pepperoni Pizza: These picture shows just half of a slice (they were kind enough to slice a slice in half), but wow, great slice of pizza! Crisp bottom, very flavorful, excellent crust ! (Pictured: Half of one slice) Italian Assorted Sub: We heard it was the best Italian sub in the area — and I figured it was just a tourist trap kinda thing. This sub was legit — 3” thick, lots of meat (my wife wished there was less! Crazy!), nice slices of tomatoes and onions, and shredded lettuce, which I love on a sandwich. The bread itself was crazy good. Perfectly toasted, soft and crunchy somehow at the same time, and it was a wide sandwich. What I mean is — my wife and I split a 6” sub, and it wasn’t like getting half of a sub from Jersey Mike’s (which I like!). This was a big sandwich. If I came alone, I’d get the half-sub, rather than a whole. It’s big. We got the hot peppers on the side and they were tasty, too! Our server was Lalo — super nice, helpful and gregarious. Everything you want from a pizza place server! The atmosphere was as it should be — dark, unpretentious, and the table was super clean. I added a pic of our bill — we left stuffed, and happy that we got to try those three things. If we did it over again — maybe no knots, and a whole slice of pepperoni each!
Home Slice Pizza is a must visit when your in Austin. Located on South Congress going towards downtown Austin, it's surrounded by amazing shops and places to visit. The pizza is Heavenly and the service is even better. Great place to enjoy that Austin Vibe everyone talks about and wants to experience. You can dine in if you have a little patience or you can grab a slice next door from the little side restaurant if you want to walk down SoCo and enjoy Austin while eating world class pizza.
First off, let me just say, Lexi made my experience truly great. Beautiful smile accompanied by outstanding service. So I thank her from the absolute bottom of my heart! The Pizza was 11/10. A true slice of Brooklyn in Austin. I was impressed and neither one of the pizza’s I ordered lasted more than 5 minutes on their plates. Outstanding in every way!
I came here with my son on a little weekend trip we took and it was so fun. It was the first thing we did after landing in Austin and it was a perfect start to the trip. We came around 930pm but the restaurant was still plenty full. The hostess was really nice and chatted with us about our trip. Out server was great too. The restaurant is kept darkish at night and had a bar vibe, but not uninvitingly for a kid. My son actually loved it, he said he'd ever been on a place like it before. The pizza is New York style ish. You never really quite copy it, but it was delicous. Pretty thin, very crispy, and good sauce cheese ratio. My favorite style. We got mile and cookies at the end. The cookies were intense, super think and delicious chocolate chip. The milk was whole 😂 This place was perfect and is recommend anyone check it out!
Home Slice Pizza 🍕 My favorite NY style pizza in Austin. My cousin’s band Wiretree played here during one SXSW so I have fond memories of that but I have been visiting this restaurant for over a decade. It is a great place to just stop in for a slice. They now have a 2nd location next door so even more capacity. I have always had a great meal here and it is a mandatory stop on my visit. Giant slices and a wide variety of toppings as well. I will add more pictures of the food soon but suffice it to say this is a beloved spot for me when I am in ATX.
