Baldinucci Pizza Romana Review - Westlake - Austin - The Infatuation
"Window shopping or on usually ends with us trying to justify some new coat, gadget, or pair of shoes we impulsively purchased. Window shopping at Baldinucci in West Lake Hills usually ends with a passenger seat filled with eight different slices of pizza, each with a different set of toppings. Located in a busy shopping center across from a Randalls, Baldinucci’s giant glass viewing area is full of whole pizzas and pre-cut slices that allow you to window shop before pointing at the piece (or eight) that you want. Baldinucci serves round New York-style pies, but we can’t get enough of the puffy Roman squares here—with an incredible crunch and pillowy interior, it feels like some laws of science are being defied. There’s a small dining room where you can enjoy some beer or wine while someone crisps your slice up, but we’ve found they reheat very well in the oven. Grab a slice while you’re there—our favorite is the one topped with whipped ricotta and mushrooms—then bring home a handful for later. It’s the best way to eat pizza all week while still switching things up a bit each night. " - Nicolai McCrary
