DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana - Downtown Austin

DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana Opens Downtown Austin Pizza Restaurant | Eater Austin

"Now open at 301 Lavaca Street in the former Ginger Man space, this downtown outpost is the restaurant's second Austin location and expands the original menu with late-night, personal nine-inch Neapolitan pizzas and an Italian chopped salad. The kitchen mirrors its sibling spot with traditional and house Neapolitan pies (house options include a lasagna with meatballs and a mess of cheeses), plus standalone meatballs and a meatball sandwich, calzones, salads, and desserts like Nutella pizza, cannoli, and biscotti. Passersby can watch dough being made in a visible dough room, and the dining room centers on two Acunto‑Mario wood‑fired ovens imported from Naples, Italy. Hours are 11:30 a.m.–11 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11:30 a.m.–2:20 a.m. Friday–Saturday, with catered lunches offered from 10:30–11:30 a.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
