The 15 Best Pizza Places In Austin 2024

"From the restaurant group behind Sammie's Italian—and, conveniently, right next door on West 6th—is Favorite Pizza, a retro pizzeria.

What they’ve pulled off here is miraculous, a near-perfect facsimile of a New York City slice joint. As you might expect, they make a pretty classic New York-style pizza: big slices, crispy along the edges, yet soft and pliable enough to be folded in half.  " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
