Favorite Pizza

Absolutely love this place but online ordering is a nightmare. Interface with door dash means everyone blames the other guy and no pizza or way to track it down. No pizza no stars. It’s happened three times now in a few months.

A quick bite with a couple of old friends. Pizza was good, order a bug slice from the window, back into the oven for a few. Came out great. Bartender was attentive and sweet. Come to find out we all had a mutual friend in the Keys (love that about Austin). Will be back.

Big pizza slices, fast service, a bit pricey but one slice is usually enough to fill me up. This place has a true New York pizzeria look and feel with the baseball classics playing. The staff is nice and restrooms were decent. Good spot if you’re on 6th and need a quick but decent bite to eat. Vegetarian options: The cheese pizza is a good option.

Best pizza in Austin.

I’m originally from NE NJ. This is the best NY pizza I’ve had in Texas! And there is great competition in Texas now but this was hands down the best!

We love this place. Delicious pizza, great beers.

The Caesar Salad steals the show here. “Really, at a pizza place, salad is the best thing?” Yes. The pizza is good, with some things they need to work on to perfect it. The dough is very nice- rivaling home slice for best NY style dough in town. The sauce is also nice. They cheese is good fresh, but is less desirable after the pizza has gone cold. The toppings are generally good, especially on their specialty pies. I recommend the Chin Music (sausage, peppers, hot honey, mozz) and the Dock Ellis (sautéed mushrooms, garlic, 4 cheeses, truffle oil). I’ve had WAY too much cheese added to both specialty and regular pies before - they’re a little inconsistent. OK I’ve buried the lede enough. The Caesar Salad at Favorite is magical. It will make you have feelings of joy and love and regret…when it’s gone. Yes, it is worth $14 or $18 for a regular or large. The Caesar dressing is creamy, rich, umami bliss. They add a homemade chili crisp for a hint of oil and spice. Some lemon juice adds acid and freshness. And the little gem lettuce has just the right balance of crunchy and soft. You will want to order this every time. Trust me. This is not the best pizza in Austin, but it could be close (to Home Slice) if it fixed some of its inconsistency issues.

Good name because this is my favorite pizza in town. Giant slice, great crust, awesome toppings. Every time I'm near here I find an excuse to detour and enjoy the pizza.
