Baldinucci Pizza Romana

The food here is phenomenal. The restaurant is almost always crowded because of it. But service is excellent and the food comes out pretty fast. We got a variety of items to try and each one surpassed the other. They have a plethora of vegetarian options, which we were pleasantly surprised by. Their garlic knots are like soft warm fluffy pillows and a must eat!! Their pizzas are very good and I personally preferred them over their flatbread. Their pistachio gelato was really good as well!! We can’t wait to be back!!

This was a phenomenal little place! Food was delicious, and service was fast and friendly. They explained how they use a lighter Italian flour to make their focaccia dough. It was so light and fluffy! Will definitely be back often.

First time at Baldinucci to try the Roman style pizza and really enjoyed it. I appreciate that I can buy the pizza by the slice, each slice is around 6 to 8 dollars. They have a variety of topping options and we especially enjoyed the red sauce pizzas. My favorite was the hot sausage and grandma‘s pizza (Nonna). I really enjoyed the crust. They also have New York style pizza and gelato. I’ve heard great things about their garlic nuts, but I didn’t get to try that this time. They’re located in a plaza so there’s plenty of shared parking.

This is probably the best Pizza in Austin and as close to authentic Italian pizza you can get! The summer special - Chicken, tomato and pesto is 9 out of 10 Quattro Fingi - 7 out of 10 Crust nice and crispy!! The gelato- dark chocolate hazelnut a 10 Pistachio also a 10. Again probably the best gelato in Austin

Omg, it’s as good as the other reviews say. The mortadella was my favorite & the family favorite! The spicy honey, garlic knots, and gelato were all absolutely delicious as well. The service was helpful, fast, and friendly. The dining area is quaint and clean. We got there at noon on a Thursday with no wait and a nice, steady flow of people. There was always seating available. We’re huge fans now and can’t wait to bring family and friends to try Baldinucci’s.

Hands down the best gluten free pizza! I have Celiac and can eat here safely. Husband loves the original.

I’ve had pizza from coast to coast. This is ABSOLUTELY the best pizza I’ve ever had. So fresh and so flavorful. Service was exceptional. My belly is very happy.

We return to Baldinucci Pizza every time we’re craving incredible, and they never disappoint. From first bite to final sip, it’s an experience that makes us feel like family. The Crust and Craft Their Roman-style dough ferments for an astonishing 72 hours, yielding an airy, ultra-fluffy interior with a perfectly crisp bottom. It’s light yet full of flavor. You can taste every bit of care and heritage, thanks to Salvatore and Patricia’s roots in New York and Italy. The Favorites That Keep Us Coming Back The Nonna is my absolute go-to. It’s rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. My husband tries a new slice each time, but the Supreme has quickly become one of his favorites. We always end the meal with their creamy gelato. The classic Stracciatella is a must. Drinks That Hit the Spot Joe’s unsweet iced tea is crisp, refreshing, and surprisingly memorable. It’s the perfect match for a warm slice. Local Love and Community Vibes Every visit feels relaxed and welcoming. The staff is warm, and you can tell it’s a family-run place that takes pride in what they do. Patrons consistently rave about the quality, and we agree. Whether you’re going in for a quick slice or bringing friends for a full spread, it never misses. Why It Stands Out Baldinucci Pizza offers something rare in Austin: traditional Roman-style pizza made with care and serious technique. The dough is light, the toppings are fresh and thoughtfully sourced, and everything from the iced tea to the gelato is worth talking about. In short, Baldinucci is not just a pizza spot. It’s a ritual for our family, a place that surprises and delights every time. If you’re in Austin and love great food, this one belongs on your list.

I am not a huge pizza fan! Maybe because I lived in Italy and have big expectations. Everything here is better then the next!! It's next level!

AMAZING, absolutely mind-blowingly amazing Not to be dramatic, but the best pizza I've ever had, I I didn't even know that pizza could be this good

Food was fine but a bit put off that my slice was served still cold Smallish setting and would maybe benefit from more than just bottled drink selection Staff was outgoing and friendly

Tucked away in a place approximately equidistant from the Barton Creek Square Mall and Red Bud Isle, Baldinucci Pizza Romana is in a strip mall located at the intersection of Bee Cave Road and Walsh Tarlton Lane in West Lake Hills. Its nearest neighbors in the strip mall include Boardroom Salon and Flower Child. So when I am craving some yummy pizza bites, I'll make my way over here, park under a tree, and order some slices at the counter from what they have available in their display case, along with a small gelato, pay at the register, then take the numbered card on a stand to one of the five 2-tops they have in the restaurant (additional seating available outside), and sit down on the booth side, nibbling away at the gelato while I wait for them to heat up and bring out the slices on a mini pizza paddle with parchment paper containing their stylized logo. The staff are quite pleasant, and they seem to have high standards for the quality of food they are preparing. For example, I overheard a conversation from staff stating that one of the morning circular pies could not be sold because it was cut imperfectly (some slices were smaller, others were larger)--they clearly value uniformity and consistency in the food they put out, and if something is out of line, it won't be served to customers. I've had the following slices from them, and intend to work through their menu over time: Bruschetta, Pepperoni, Sausage & Peppers, Quattro Funghi. I've enjoyed them all. Lovely dough with crunch when you bite into it. Satisfying flavors. Rectangles are cut in two. They also serve gelato. I've tried the Pistachio and Baccio so far. The Baccio had hazelnuts and some dark chocolate chunks within, with a great dark chocolate flavor. The pistachio must have not made an impression on me since I don't really recall the taste. They also offer gluten-free pie options too. This became apparent to me when a staff member accidentally duplicated a gluten-free pie order. Restrooms are clean, and water is available at a dispenser by the hallway that leads to the restrooms. After completing your meal, you bus your own table. The staff will wipe them down after you've left.

Delicious New York style pizza and sandwiches! Friendly staff and plenty of choices! Fast and efficient for either dine in or takeout. They have wine, soda, and gelato too! Love the mortadella slice as well as the Italian hero! I love everything I have eaten here, and we order here a lot!

I wanted to write an update because I am so excited. Besides all of their fancier pizzas, we wanted to see how their straight NY pizza is (I know, NY pizza doesn't compare to jersey but that's a whole other conversation)..and I have to say....absolutely nailed the NY pie also.

Reallllly good. Loved the mushroom and spicy honey sausage. Will be back to try the other pizzas. Cute atmosphere. Also, the pistachio and amaretto gelato is fire! Great service too!

Baldinucci This pizza was incredible. I was so excited to try a handful of different slices with a friend here! The buffalo chicken slice was surprisingly super good. It was quite spicy which I loved. I'm not a big buffalo sauce fan but this was great. The sausage and honey slice was also incredible - the perfect balance and the crust is so perfect as well. The mortadella slice was just incredible as well. So much flavor and the pesto was so bold. I will definitely be back to try more slices here!! The prices were slightly high as each slice was about $8/9 and you would need about 2 slices to be full.

The restaurant's location is definitely nowhere near me, however, we've made the drive a couple times since our initial visit just to satisfy our craving.

Absolutely a hidden gem, the pizza is soo great and service is top tier! First time in and the woman behind the counter gave us a run down of how things worked and what they offer for slices. We were very impressed and cute little outdoor area! Check it out

Pizza was good and they have a GLUTEN FREE option too and that won me over because it's the best GF pizza I've had when visiting over there. the service was good and the inside was clean.

GREAT experience from the moment I walked in!!! Pat was prompt, informative, and so sweet which truly made my experience a pleasure. She told me all about the best sellers, ingredients, and thoughtfully explained the tastes. She set proper expectations for the warming and delivery of my slices at about 5 mins. She made sure to cater to new folks If ANY questions came up. Baldinucci opened October of 2022 and brand themselves as premium quality. An employee being this proud of their establishment is the cherry on top. Slices range from $5-$9 each with a selection of sodas and wine. She also let me know slices are made fresh daily, and they offer full pies as well. I got NY CHEESE and NONNA. Both fresh and delicious. Dough was perfect, ratio of toppings and sauce were perfect. It Made for a great, quick lunch. $16 for two slices and a Mexican coke. How's the Ambiance? It's small with about 5 tables inside and cute Italian instrumental music. Will absolutely come back here.

The garlic knots were so amazing! Plenty of flavor which is great because in general I often find garlic knots aren't garlicky enough. The lasagna pizza was pretty good, it had ricotta and sausage. There was a good crunch but a little too much sauce for me. I like my food piping hot so I think the pizza could have been warmed up a bit more. The stuffed pizza was good as well, very filling; perfect to indulge in. The caesar salad was good but not particularly special. We went closer to closing so they weren't as many options, which is understandable. As mentioned in other reviews, the place is quite small but the additional tables outside helped. The service was great! They explained the ordering process and brought everything we needed to us, even noticed our bottles cola wasn't opened and offered to open it for us. Overall, it was a fun way to eat pizza and nice to select from a variety of options but it won't be a go-to pizza spot for me.

I love how flavorful the pizza is and how the crust is so crispy. The cheese melted well and it had good cheese pull. They were accommodating to our group of 5 and helped us decide what to get. The place itself is a bit small, but it's okay for a small group like us! The crowd favorite was Sausage and Honey, which had a predominant flavor of spicy honey. I like the Nonna better, but I think I want to try the Lasagna pizza again. There's a lot of options so I'd be back to try something else.

Amazing Romanian pizza. A small pizza joint but BIG on flavor. The pizza was cooked perfectly and had a great crunch. So many flavor options to choose from. Pizza, calzones, garlic knots and even gelato. The spicy honey sausage, Chicken parm and the diablo were some of our favorites. Definitely try this place out.

The pizza here is incredible. I like that it's largely sold by the slice so that you can try out a variety of pizzas. It was fun to come in and see all of the different options and pick our slices. The service was also exceptionally friendly. We took this to go as a picnic meal, but they had nice cafe vibes inside with a good outdoor space as well. I will also add, I had their pistachio gelato once at a work event, and it was AMAZING.

This place was a really cute spot though I could see it being tough to grab a spot to sit when it gets busy. That being said, there is some seating inside and 1-2 tables on the outside as well. The folks working here were really friendly and all the different kind of pizzas they had were on display. As you can see, I may have gone a bit overboard because I just wanted to try everything! My favorite slice was probably the nonna but my friends enjoyed the sausage and honey slice (which the workers told me was one of their more popular slices). I loved the fact you could get a whole pie or a slice for like $6-7. They are decent sized slices too! I really enjoyed this spot and can see they deserve their high ratings. Also I'm still thinking of those garlic knots

Pizza was excellent. So many options to choose from and they sell by the slice so you can try multiple different ones. Ambiance is cafe vibes. Service was 10/10. Friendly staff and very accommodating. Would definitely come back!

This was absolute . I've been looking for really authentic pizza romana in Austin for a long time and we finally have it. The crust, toppings and quality overall are to die for. It's a walk up ordering situation with pizza by the slice, with vegan cheese options, or you can order a whole tray. Service was super fast and we loved being able to sit outside and enjoy on a nice sunny day. No, it's not going to be cheap, but yes it is going to be worth every penny.

The pizza here was a 10/10! We ordered for delivery and the food was delivered on time, hot and absolutely delicious! I love a saucy pizza and this hit the mark! They used fresh, quality ingredients. The pizza seemed to have a focaccia like base. It was light and airy but stiff enough to easily pick up and eat. They were overly generous with the toppings and crafted absolutely delicious masterpieces.

Love their thin crust pizza, especially deaign you own. Great prices and kind hosts. Outside seating helps. Highly recommend.

Small order and sit place. Fast and easy. Great quality food. Lots of diff options to choose from. The pizza was good and the garlic knots are amazing. Very delicious fresh and large portion salads. Definitely will be coming back again.

I'm not sure what they put in there garlic rolls but it should be illegal!! Those things are like crack!!! The selection of pizza was amazing and it was so hard just choosing one! We ended up trying 5 different slices and they all were delicious! the owners grandson helped and everyone was so friendly ! The gelato's looks so amazing but we were so full and couldn't take any to go cause sadly we live in San Antonio and it wouldn't have made it home! Already planning our next trip back and can't wait to try other items !

AUSTIN HAS DONE IT! One of the best slices of pizza I have had in some time. FRESH, HANDMADE, CRISPY UNDERCARRIAGE, AND FLAVORS YOU CAN'T JUST GET ANYWHERE!! I ordered the Margherita and Mortadella by the slice, and it was delicious. One thing that was fairly noticeable was the fact that I thought this was going to be so heavy and filling. Because of the freshness of all of the ingredients, it was super light, which is something that I SO appreciate. The crunchiness of the dough even after you leave it in the refrigerator.. is remarkable! Does not get mushy, nor does the freshness ever go away.. The taste feels 100% authentic. Until next time and I cannot wait! Nothing like great pizza!

Where's my socks go??? Oh, they got blown off. This pizza place takes me right back to the streets of Rome. The first bite of pizza was like heaven. That crunch, absolute perfection. We got several different slices and they were all delicious. I'd suggest trying a few flavors. We also had gelato, which was creamy and rich, dare I say the best gelato in Texas. The interior is relaxed and they have a few tables outside as well. The service was fast, informative, and very friendly. Definitely one of my new favorites.

As it was our first time at Baldinucci Pizza, we weren't sure how the ordering process worked. The very pleasant staff behind the counter explained that you select a type of pizza from the case and they heat it; veggie on the left side of the case and meat on the right. (Or you can order a whole pizza.) We started with a garlic roll which was fabulous. The Supreme pizza on a New York style crust, the Diablo and Sausage and Honey on Roman focaccia-like slices were all very good! Bottled drinks are available. We had the nicest chat with Patty, one of the owners, and got some background on this family business. A very charming and tasty experience!

Their pizza is really good. I've tried a bunch of varities, and both thin and thick crust pizza is great. Heats up great in the air fryer, too. Definitely a pizza spot I'll be hitting up more in the future!

I saw an ad for this spot come up on Instagram after talking about pizza in time with a friend....it felt like a sign. It's a bit of a trek out towards Bee Cave. The inside smells wonderful and you can see the Italian ingredients they use. You walk in and it's counter service. You pick the pizzas you want by the slice. I got a square pizza with sausage ricotta and hot honey. I also got a New York style supreme. Full transparency the supreme NY style felt like you could get this at any other pizza establishment (especially for the price). I will say the square pizza Italian style pizza was flavorful and delicious. The space is pretty tight. Inside there were only about 3-4 tables and a few outside. Def not a spade for a big group of friends.

Incredible flavor and really nice owners and employees. My favorite pizza place in Austin. (Nona pizza and raspberry gelato was beyond amazing!)

Loved our experience at Baldinucci! You get to pick pizzas by the slice and they have so many options to choose from. They have New York style and the other style that's a thicker crust and I loved them both. It's a small place but has a very nice and calming vibe, the service was great and I also loved the gelato. Definitely coming back here more frequently

Cute shop in a shopping center in west lake. Small space so if you have a large group, sit outside. You order at the counter which is cool and convenient. Let's get to the good part! BBQ chicken pizza- this was my favorite. It's a huge slice and had a bbq drizzle with some solid chunks of chicken. 5 of 5 stars! Chicken Parm pizza- tastes like it sounds. 5 of 5 stars! Prosciutto di Parma pizza- light pizza, good but not for me. 4 of 5 stars! Pistachio gelato- WOW this is goooood. Try some please! 5 of 5 stars!!! Price- Super pricey but that's what I expected.

Quaint place but very attentive service and gorgeous pizza, Stromboli and salads. Portions are very generous. We had a lovely family meal here and everyone got to share and try each others items which was a lot of fun. This really was a nice ambiance with very high quality food. A convenient location for my home base whenever I'm in town. Will definitely be returning!

Their spicy sausage and honey pizza is to die for, I get it every time I visit! It is crispy, flavorful, and the perfect combination of hot and sweet. It is a small restaurant but the vibes are always immaculate and the service workers are extremely nice as well!

Great spot for deep dish pizza. The quality of the ingredients is off the charts. The inside is a little bit cramped, but outside dining was very pleasant. The staff were super friendly and the service was great. I will definitely be back soon and I'm looking forward to trying the pepperoni pizza.

Amazing place for pizza and gelato. The restaurant is super cute with their glass displays and booths to sit at. I think being able to see what your pizza looks like and just point and pick a slice was the best part of the experience. The staff is super friendly and even offered I try some of their gelato while I waited for my order ( the peach sorbet is a MUST ). The pizza toppings were unique compared to what I've had here in Austin. The mushroom is rich and creamy with the generous amount of ricotta. The chicken parm is also something fun to try if you like the classic dish. Their NY blanco slice was also really tasty. 10/10 would recommend coming and trying this place out. Can't wait to go back!

Awesome, best pizza and gelato in Austin. Pizza was light, very tasty, full of flavors, reminded me of when we were in Italy last year. Paired with Chianti I was the best. Enjoyed it and looking forward to my next visit.

Great aura and decor with true Italian feel to it. Also had space outdoors with bug zappers. Not a place you sit forever as it's the size of a dessert shop but quality of food is great. I ordered a thick Detroit style grandma and ny style buffalo chicken and both were delicious. The buffalo and crispy chicken tenders and not overdone with buffalo sauce like other places Grandma had the right balance of cheese and tomatoes and not over done with tomatoes like others. You see it all on display and worker gave us tips and custom options too. All truly to see and not all made in the back. I'll definitely go back again with a small group.

We tried this new pizza spot for a casual dinner. The inside is quite small and you order at the counter. All of the employees were friendly. They have mostly pizza, but also some specialty items and gelato for dessert. They have sidewalk seating as well. We tried the sausage and honey, the Carne, and the Margherita pizza and we enjoyed all of them. I'd say the carne was my personal favorite. The crust is like more of a focaccia style bread.

I just tried Baldinucci for the first time, and I always feel like I have my favorite pizza place already, but this type and style of pizza was a new one for me. Really delicious, very filling and unique crust. Toppings are heaped on generously and this pizza reheats like a dream! I'll definitely be back.

Small, clean Westlake pizzeria offering countertop service by the slice with a smile. Both NY and Romano styles are well-represented. I doubt you could go wrong with anything here. The Romano dough is imported from Italy, so be sure to give one of this slices a try- the Nonno was a Yes-yes! Vegans and vegetarians are in for a treat, too- plenty of options! They also have a nice selection of wines, a couple of Italian beers and gelato! The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely seemed to love working here. There are a few two-tops inside and out front, but you can push them together if you come with more. Delish!

Been looking for an authentic Italian pizza place and surely found it in Baldinucci. Great service and a very authentic pizza experience. Very cozy atmosphere. The gelato is a must. Slightly pricey but I don't mind because it's great quality food made from scratch. Highly recommend it.

Second trip here to have slices of the Roman style pizza. They were delicious as well as there garlic knots. Too many choices. Staff was friendly. Will return to try their gelato!

Fantastic food and experience dining at Baldinucci! So many fun options (and they are super generous with customization). We all loved our slices, and will be back!

Just left and couldn't wait to write this review! This is THE cutest little pizza shop. It's very small with about 4 tables inside and a bunch outside. When you walk in, you're immediately drawn to the pizza case with an amazing variety of toppings. It was so hard to choose but we decided on the sausage & honey and the funghi pizza coming in at a welcoming $6/$7 per slice. The wait was only about 5-10 minutes and as we saw the other orders coming out we grew increasingly more excited. You can tell the ingredients used are quality and every single item we saw come from the kitchen looked insanely delicious. Our slices arrived and they tasted exactly how they looked. The crust was crisp at the bottom and fluffy in the center. The fresh basil paired so well with the sweet sauce. The ricotta was airy and delightful. We'll absolutely return to try every other topping!

I'm visiting some friends in Austin and found this scrolling through Yelp and figured it'd be a nice spot for lunch, and man was I pleasantly surprised. The pizza looked good in the pictures but it's nothing compared to seeing it in person. The romana pizza is a thick crunchy crust while their New York style pizza is a classic style you'll get everywhere. Garlic knots are huge and incredibly flavorful. My highlight food was the spicy honey sausage romana pizza; just a number of flavors in one bite that make for an incredible experience. They also have some amazing rotating flavors of sorbet that they source from another company and it's so creamy and bursting with that tasty flavors to satisfy your sweet tooth. There is also outside seating and while there's not a lot of room inside the building it's still a great time if you have the opportunity to sit inside. It also looks so inviting and welcoming. My friend said it's a perfect vibe to for a romantic date while also being just the place you wanna lay some bad news on someone to lessen the blow. The woman that helped us with the sorbet was also so nice and friendly. She told us that it's a family business and asked us about our food and described all the flavors in detail, and just overall made sure we had a great conversation with some laughs. The rest of the staff was also helpful even though they are understaffed, they were still patient and generous. I loved this place. The food was amazing, the staff were generous, and it was a beautiful setting to just have fun with friends. I'm grateful I just came across this place during my scrolling. They sure made an impression.

Wow. This is a very unique pizza that I loved. Great toppings and flavors. Quality ingredients. I am 100% certain that I'll be back for more. It was expensive and the shop isn't big enough to really eat inside during lunch, but a few minutes in the oven at home was no issue You're paying for the high quality here, I know I certainly appreciate a premium product from time to time

I forgot to add my review from my first visit, but am going tonight so I'll my 2 cents. All the variety of 5 star reviews are correct. Myself, i tried a calzone and it was perfect. Tonight a couple of slices. But don't forget the gelato- it's other wordly- the best Ive ever had.

Had good pizza here...my wife was a bigger fan than I but the whole order by the slice thing kind of robbed me of my leftovers. Counter service is not my fave, but the display is nice and the pizza very tasty. Overpriced, but not for Westlake and I used to live here. Courteous staff, and a small sitting area inside and out. See the pics--those sum up things best.

Easy to grab a 1 slice of pizza kinda place. Everyone was super helpful, small space if you're dining in. Drinks are expensive. $6 for a beer and $12 for a glass of cheap wine. When a slice of pizza is only $6.
