"Favorite’s is the wettest sandwich of the bunch, thanks in large part to the generous amount of red wine vinegar everything is doused in. It adds a great tangy counterpart to the fattier capicola and pistachio mortadella, and as long as you equip yourself with plenty of napkins, it’s an enjoyable sandwich." - nicolai mccrary
"New York pizza fans can find great slices and pies at the downtown pizza spot with a retro feel. For fans of Queens, New York baseball team the Mets, there is loads of memorabilia, photos, decor, and specials named after legendary players. The pies are New York-style and they keep it simple — pepperoni, cheese, and supreme. Get it to go online." - Nadia Chaudhury
"From the restaurant group behind Sammie's Italian—and, conveniently, right next door on West 6th—is Favorite Pizza, a retro pizzeria. It’s all exuberantly 1980s-themed, with formica countertops, tons of New York Mets memorabilia, Pizza Hut-like Tiffany swag lamps, and a disco ball in the bathroom. 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
"I include Favorite Pizza among the many great options that have helped Austin become a good pizza town." - Erin Russell
"New York pizza fans can find great slices and pies at the downtown pizza spot.

Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
