La Volta Pizza Club Review - Downtown Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"La Volta is a New York-style pizza spot located in an old remodeled house near 10th and Lamar. You can get sides of ranch and calabarian chilie, and there are also dishes like meatballs, cacio e pepe arancini, and caesar salad." - Raphael Brion

Austin Pizzeria Sammataro Splits Downtown Austin Pizza Restaurant and Food Truck in East Austin - Eater Austin

"Sammataro the Austin pizza restaurant have split up this August. The pizza spot opened as a pop-up in Austin in 2020 and morphed into a food truck in Westlake that same year. In January 2023, Flores, Kurbasic, and Wisteria Venture Partners opened Sammataro’s first physical restaurant on West 10th Street." - Nadia Chaudhury

Sammataro - Review - Downtown Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Located in an old, remodeled house on West 10th, and sporting a hip hop-fueled playlist and dim red lights by night, Sammataro feels more like a hot new nightclub than a neighborhood pizza joint. But behind all the music, the lighting, and the tiny home feel, the pizza here is among the best in town (and some of the most expensive). The space is small—show up early during peak hours, or prepare to get ushered into a tiny little waiting area that was probably an enclosed patio in a former life. And that’s a feeling that kind of permeates through the whole space. It rides the line between dark and cozy, and claustrophobically intimate at times—this is much more of a place to go on a date than for a business dinner—but there are a few small outdoor tables if your date happens to be your dog. Pies here are unlike anything you can get in town. On the more well-done side, with a blistered crust and a soft center, the pizzas are like a hybrid between a New York and Neapolitan pie. They’re also on the pricier end—a classic pie without toppings costs $26. We’ve had a few consistency issues in the past, but when they get it right, this is the type of pizza you’ll be talking about for the next three days. Sammataro isn’t a place you really need to dress up for, but somehow still feels like the type of place you’ll want to be seen in something nice. Maybe it’s because a side of ranch is $4, or maybe it’s because they’re trying very hard to be the cool-kid-on-the-block pizza spot, and actually pulling it off pretty well. And if all of this sounds like way too much to deal with (but you’re still curious about the pizza) you can order takeout from the trailer where they got their start, over on East 11th. You’ll just have to provide the lighting, music, and wine for yourself at home. Food Rundown photo credit: Nicolai McCrary House Salad Don’t expect any wildcards here. This is about as straightforward of a salad as any, with a refreshing house vinaigrette that helps start the meal off on a very bright note. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary Meatballs These come four to an order, and topped with a bit of parmesan and red sauce. The sauce is a little runnier than we’d like, but the meatballs have a decent bite and make for a nice accompaniment to a meal otherwise dominated by carbs and cheese. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary Classic Pizza The crust is blistered in all the right ways, and perfectly chewy all the way through. Meanwhile, the center of the pizza has all the flop of a good Neapolitan pie. The sauce adds a sweet acidity without ever feeling too wet or overpowering. A pizza here is on the pricey end, but we’ve found it’s just about right for two moderately hungry adults" - Nicolai McCrary

Ok…. Omg. I love this place. First time here and not only is this place now our favorite pizza joint, but the people were SUPER friendly! The greeter even shook our hands when we were leaving to thank us for coming in. This is how I remember Austin (50 year old local). But on top of the experience, the food was SO good! Best pizza around, seriously. We’ll be back and we’ll bring friends!

Food, Vibes, Service were incredible. The Vodka pie is 1000/10, meatballs and the caesar salad - unreal. My #1 pizza spot in ATX, hands down. Don't sleep on the aperol spritz either!

Delicious food and cute ambiance! Their vodka pizza is just delicious! Thin, crisp, amazing flavor and delicious cheese! Just perfect! You would definitely want to eat more of that! Do try and enjoy!

Food was great. We went in around dinner time and got the olives with a house salad to start. We also got a classic pizza, half pepperoni w ranch on the side (had to). The hibiscus margarita and a Negroni were great. Service was impeccable and the za did not disappoint.

Our first time! We got the vodka pizza and the white pizza, both were amazing! We did prefer the white more however. The Calabrian chilis (ordered a side) were amazing with the pizza!

The pizza quality here is very good, I don’t mind spending $30+ on a pie when it’s this good. My main issue with this place is the greed of some of the other prices, I paid $9 for three of these tiny tubs of ranch for a large order. Quality and greed are two different things and this business needs to correct itself. Edited: Changed the star rating to 5 after the reply to the review, it’s not often that a business actually listens to a review and takes action but I’m glad that La Volta have stepped up

Probably the best pizza I have enjoyed in years! Small but cute place with friendly staff. The vodka and classic pizza were so freaking good. Great flavor with yummy pizza dough! Also enjoyed the meatballs, Cesar salad and warm olives. I would recommend a better selection of wines, if they are asking but we will be back.

✨ 5 stars La Volta is an absolute gem. The arancini balls? Unreal, crispy on the outside, rich and savory inside. The pizza hit every note! It’s perfect crust, bold flavors, and just the right amount of char. And finishing the night with Fernet? Chef’s kiss. The vibes were truly magical, cozy, stylish, and effortlessly cool. Great music, warm lighting, and the kind of energy that makes you want to stay all night. Bonus: I had the best company, which made everything even more perfect. Can’t wait to bring everyone here!

Yo This spot is amazing In the same location a restaurant that was named Bacon (I think) use to be. So just greatness can work here. The Space Tucked away right off shoal creek near downtown the spot is perfect. They have parking but also easy access to street parking for overflow. Perfectly step up. Right as you walk in you are greeted by a nicely manicure bar which told me there would be some great drinks. The Menu What a Perfect size A hand full of apps A had full of pizzas Some additional toppings And a few extra sauces. (Chiefs kiss) My friends and I had a few things We had an order of olives 2 orders of the meatballs A Cesar salad Then two pizzas Our group was 6 and it was perfect. Our drinks of choice for today were Negroni Perrone ( not sure I spelled right ‍) & Hibiscus Marg Again perfect. All in all we will definitely be coming back to this amazing spot. Now the best part of any dining out experience The staff It looked to be two servers that also tended bar and hosted With a few cooks in the back. The service was top notch. Very attentive, Very quick & SUPER kind. Was such a fun day catching up with friends and getting to check out this amazing the joint. No pics this time sorry but I promise it's delicious

The pizza is one of the best I've had in Texas- this place was recommend by my nephew who is a pizza connoisseur. We've tried their pepperoni, supreme and white pies. Also their salads- recommend their Caesar with their angel dusting of Parmesan is perfection. I wasn't a big fan of their meatballs that are the size of a tennis ball (lol!) - you can ask for baguette. The first time the baguette was really good the second time it wasn't (didn't taste fresh). Although I wasn't a fan, all those in my table really enjoyed them. It's really a small place and can get quite loud very quickly. I will say that for such a clean restaurant there were really annoying flies and gnats- really really annoying. I will caution that this place is expensive for pie. But I always justify really good food with a pretty penny especially in this economy. And recommend reservations if during their busiest of time. Parking is odd behind the building. And the large open parking is for another restaurant so just be careful. Go and enjoy and take your credit card! lol.

The pizza is outstanding, one of the best in Austin and the waitress was super sweet with a wonderful, warm energy. At night, the space is more like a darkly lit lounge with bass-heavy music rather than a restaurant -- great to take a date whom you don't want to see or listen to very closely. This might not be the best environment for the 35+ crowd. We got a tap on the shoulder within a nanosecond of using our phone's flashlight to read the menu. It had never occurred to us that the bright light might be rude or disruptive to other diners, but we are glad to know now. If you are in the same dilemma because of 35+ year-old eyes, they encourage you to turn up the brightness of your phone screen instead. I also got diarrhea the next morning but can't be 100% sure it was the pizza.

I came in expecting pretty good pizza, but was surprised with outstanding service and one of the best pizzas in Austin. The Caesar salad was delicious . Do yourself a favor and add the anchovies. Such a game changer! We opted for the Stracciatella Pie half serrano peppers and half olives. Crust was perfectly crispy and chewy and the tomato sauce had the perfect consistency. Our waitress was so sweet and talkative. Definitely a great choice for a pizza date.

My husband and I decided to visit La Volta Pizza Club for the first time on a Saturday evening with a 5:30 pm reservation. Despite never having tried their pizza before, we were eager to experience it, especially after learning that La Volta used to be a pizza truck. Upon arriving, we noticed a small driveway to the right of the building, hidden among large trees. Following the driveway led us to a small free parking lot at the back, suitable for about 10 small compact cars. Additionally, there was some outdoor seating available on picnic tables, but we opted to enter through the back side door. Inside, we encountered a cozy and quaint atmosphere. Interestingly, we discovered that La Volta serves as a temporary space for emerging restaurants, adding to its allure. A hostess guided us to our seats after we maneuvered around the bar area. Our server, Mylie T., welcomed us warmly and provided us with some time to peruse the menu. I ordered the cherry limeade ($7 alcohol-free), while my husband opted for the popular House Spritz ($8), both of which were delightful. To kick off our meal, we selected the Arancini ($15) as an appetizer, followed by the Vodka Pie with an added touch of pepperoni for our main course. As luck would have it, we arrived during happy hour and received a $6 discount on our pizza. We also decided to enhance our dining experience by adding some chili oil ($2), which proved to be a tasty choice. For dessert, we were torn between two options, so we indulged in both the Amafreddo ($8) and the salted chocolate chip cookie, both of which were delicious and generously portioned for sharing. The warm cookie was a particularly delightful surprise. Our evening at La Volta was made even more enjoyable by Mylie T.'s attentive service. She consistently checked in on us and ensured our glasses were never empty. We left the restaurant feeling thoroughly satisfied and already planning our next visit. As a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, I must say that La Volta's pizza is on par with Home Slice, which is high praise coming from me. Having lived in NYC and experienced its renowned pizza scene, I can confidently say that both La Volta and Home Slice are exceptional. With seating for about 30 people in the main dining area and an additional 16 seats in a smaller private room near the bar, making a reservation ahead of time is highly recommended to secure your spot at La Volta Pizza Club.

"Visited for their happy hour yesterday. Initially unsure about La Volta's transition from previous ownership, I was pleasantly surprised to experience the same welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service from the team. Opted for the red pie with added meatballs and paired it with a Caesar salad, a generous portion suitable for two. The pizza boasted rich flavors, and surprisingly, I didn't even miss the cheese! Quenched my thirst with a classic Peroni at just $4 during happy hour. Beyond the delicious food, what truly stood out was the consistently friendly service--staff checked in frequently, and their gesture of boxing up my leftovers was appreciated. For downtown, La Volta is the spot for delicious pizza and exceptional service. Highly recommended!"

So originally we wanted to get Sammataro Pizza because I have never tried it but I think it was closed and we found that this place had a similar menu. I'm still not sure if it's the same or what the connection this place has to Sammataro but I do know that THE PIZZA IS BOMB. We got the original and my husband and I were able to eat the WHOLE pizza by ourselves in a single sitting. It was not because we wanted to, it was because it tasted so good that we could not stop eating even though we were full. It was addicting. So much so that as I write this review I want to go back and buy some more. I HIGHLY recommend adding garlic to your pizza it will not disappoint. The picture I took may look average but this is one of my favorite pizzas by far in Austin.

Interesting vibes in a pizza place. The restaurant kind of reminds me of a club. It has very dark lighting with colored lights, and the vibes are very chill. Definitely a spot for younger crowds. The pizza is good. It's more of the New York style pizza. I tried the Vodka pizza, and it had good flavor. Combined with the ranch, it was good! I also had the meatballs as an appetizer, and they were great. Very tender and flavorful. Prices were a little steep. A small cup of ranch was $3. There is no parking. Be prepared to street park and pay for parking. I'd give it an 8/10. Recommend for a fun dinner out with friends.

Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Order is as shown in the pictures: Vodka pie Cacio e Pepe Cherry limeade Amazing service by the staff. Suggested vodka pies as a main course and it was amazing. Perfection is the best I can describe that pizza. Undercarriage was perfect and tasted awesome. Highly recommend to try that. Limeade wasn't too sweet and that's just perfect. I would have liked a less ice considering it was December. But I think it tasted well and everyone loved it. Arancini was crispy and cheesy sauce with it. Sauce is salty but it was perfect combination with arancini. Overall I can recommend this restaurant for a good dinner or lunch.

Great intimate pizza spot. We loved the smallness of the place that made you feel cozy & comfortable. Not too loud or crowded. Great ambiance, good date night spot. The vodka pie was crisp and toasted perfectly with amazing spice and flavor. Perfect if you want to stick to something safe but like a good kick of spice. Loved it. My boyfriend loves olives so got the house marinated olives which he destroyed. Menu is short but you can tell very well made. Lemonade was extremely sour for me but you could tell it was freshly squeezed so 10/10 recommend.

My wife and I ate here justthe other night...we arrived right at 5pm so we had our choice of tables. First, major A/C goin' on so bring a sweater unless summer or more people warms things--vents are everywhere so there's no escaping the cold. Everything else is aknock out of the park. Nice drink specials for happy hour, Wednesdays bring half-price bottles of wine, and service is outstanding. We both loved the Caesar Salad with Anchovies added--excellent--and the pizza with vodka sauce was tasty--we added pepporoni and ordered so.e Calabrian chiles on the side, as well as Ranch. We will be back to try more, but I'l finish with a nod to the ambience as this place was very pretty and clean inside so the decor / vibe matches the prices and experience. 5 stars!

not a huge pizza girly but I would seek out a slice from here. the crust is perfectly crisp w a great ratio of sauce to cheese. not flimsy or messy. the ambience was perfect for date night or a night out w friends. not too loud or over crowded w tables. Alan was amazing w personal recommendations considering our preferences. must try spot on Lamar.

Being from New York unfortunately made me a pizza snob from birth. Chicago deep dish? Hate it. Detroit style? Fahgettaboudit. It's also no secret the pizza isn't great in Austin. However, Sammataro was a welcoming surprise. Great flop, fresh ingredients, and FIRE ranch. The staff is awesome and the restaurant is based out of a cute bungalow. Pair it with half off wine bottle Wednesdays and you've got a home run.

The supreme pizza was delicious! I had some difficulty ordering it on line but was finally able to place the order. The interior was quaint and will return to try their happy hour.

a cute, energetic, vibe-y place to start your night out or night on the couch. the menu is concise while still having something for everyone (except gluten free pies which is understandable). The cocktails work as boozy and unique companions to the pies, holding a balance between creativity and minimalism. Their pies are consistently balanced between chew and crunch, sauce and cheese (get Serranos added). Service is refreshing. It seems like these folks actually enjoy working together! Music is on the louder side but maybe that's to mask the crowd noise from the other diners. I think it would be loud even with Kenny G (elevator jazz) playing at 20% volume. Go try it for yourself. Say hi to Alan!

Damn good pizza. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. Add the burata (6 bucks) to your pie for a nice treat. Meatballs (15 bucks) are an under rated star of the show.. wonderful texture in a slightly spicy marinara.. addicted, Only small comment is that it's exceptionally pricey. Last order was 68 dollars for one pizza w a few toppings and side of meatballs, almost 80 with the tip. That said, been there enough to think it's great and I'll be back.

I cannot recall a better pizza experience than the experience that I had at La Volta -- an experience so good that I have waited a week to write this review just to ensure that recency bias did not cloud my perception. My party of five were seated promptly at 7pm on a Thursday evening in the very crowded dining room. We started with two bottles of pinot noir, quite palatable and reasonably priced. Our server also was quick to ensure that our water glasses were never empty because we always had a full bottle of water on the table. We ordered spiced olives, meatballs and a baguette as our appetizers. Spiced olives were outstanding. Meatballs were fantastic, or so I am told as I do not eat meat. The baguette was not a feature but it got the job done. We ordered three pizzas, but I tried only the vodka pie and the red pie (a cheeseless pie). Both were perfectly baked with no flop and a lot of flavor. I requested a side of chili oil, which I poured on the vodka pie, and it was truly a sublime experience. Service was impeccable and our server managed to blend professionalism and personality in an always efficient way. She brought great focus to service, but never made my party feel hurried in any way. The room itself is dark and a bit noisy, but the vibe is intimate and everyone in the space was having fun. I don't often get to Austin, but La Volta makes me wish that I did.

This takes the cake as my new favorite pizza spot in Austin!! Seems to be a bit of a hidden gem-- selfishly, I want it to remain a little secret, but I can't help but rave about it! Arancini balls were yummy, and both the house and Caesar salads came with tasty, hefty portions. I can't recommend the spicy vodka sauce enough for your pizza; just the right amount of kick, a perfect thin crust, and a very large size. One pizza was big enough to split for 4 people. Both desserts were perfect to end our night! Service was lovely, parking was easy, and the food was amazing. Lighting (very red) is not ideal for pictures, but great vibes regardless. I will be back as La Volta's new #1 fan!!

Some of the best pizza I've ever had in Austin. You get a LOT of high quality pizza for the price. They have a small but solid drink menu and their Cesar salad is great. They charge $4 for sides like ranch and chili oil which is a bit outrageous but the pizza doesn't need it. The hostesses are so friendly and kind. Pro tip: they don't make reservations and they only seat full parties, so make sure your friends and family arrive on time! There's street parking around the building. I docked one star for two reasons: the music is SO LOUD. I mean like nightclub level loud. You can barely hear the other members of your party. It doesn't fit the vibe of the restaurant at all and was super obnoxious and frustrating. Also, it is a super light and airy space but there are no blinds on the windows -- so the sun shines directly onto some of the tables and it gets HOT. My friends and I were seated inside up against the window facing the sun (it was around 85-90 degrees outside) and we were SWEATING. Imagine how hot it'll get when it's the dead of summer! So I highly, highly recommend turning down the music and installing some light filtering shades to stave off some of that Texas sun. With those fixes, this restaurant will be practically perfect.

The place seems pretty small because the main dining area is little but there seems to be some separate dining areas, so I think it's bigger than I originally noticed. There is very little parking in the lot, but plenty of street parking nearby. I went with one friend on a Thursday night and we didn't have to wait for a table. Our server was super sweet and checked on us often. We got a Caesar salad to start and the Cacio e Pepe arancini, which were both delicious. I love most things Cacio e Pepe, so this was the star of the show for me. The pizza was really good too, and they have a hot chili oil that they make themselves and the ranch is homemade too. The ranch has quite a lot of dill in it, which I loved. Highly recommend and will be back very soon!

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Even though they were slightly behind on our reservation, the experience was great and the pizza selections were 8/10. We had a white pizza and a meat option. 5 of us split 2 pizzas along with some apps.

Sammataro I have wanted to try Sammataro for some time now. I was able to get a group ready to go for Friday night. I arrived at 6pm and the wait was about an hour. The wait time grew much longer after this so I think it's a perfect time to get there. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of Austin (eating in a old house) and NY - Italian. This really helped add to the experience. The waitstaff was attentive and offered great recommendations. I really appreciate a communicative waitstaff - they were amazing. FOOD: We ordered a Cesar Salad, and two pizzas. The classic and the Vodka w/ Shallots, Sausage, and half w/ Peppers. The vodka pizza recommendations was given by our waiter and it was SO GOOD. The heat from the peppers was a perfect amount and made everything else even more comforting. The classic pie was also so so good. It was simple and flavorful, not greasy and very comforting. I could eat a whole pie by myself. The drinks: cocktails were 10/10, perfect for the experience. The wine was also amazing paired with the pizza. The only miss was the Cesar salad. There was not enough dressing on it so the majority of our bites tasted like lettuce which was kinda a turn off. Overall - amazing experience. I can't wait to come back and try more and show Sammataro off to others!

Sammataro is a great addition to the Italian food scene in Austin. The pizza is a true NY style which is hard to find in the area. We ordered the vodka pizza with pepperoni, and it clocked in at $34 which is a pretty hefty price for what you get. However, the pizza is VERY big. Two of us could only finish half a pizza with an appetizer. I think if you came with a group of 4 people, two appetizers and a pizza would be plenty of food for everyone. The cacio e pepe arancini was a great start to the meal, and the sauce was rich and very tasty. We love arancini and this didn't disappoint. The pizza itself was tasty, and the ingredients all tasted fresh and high quality. NY style pizza is supposed to have a charred crust, however parts of the crust had a slightly acrid flavor and some areas were more burnt than charred (in my opinion). Despite this, I still enjoyed the pizza, and the food all came out very quickly & service was great!

Arguably the best NY-style pizza in Austin and I can see why! Cacio e pepe arancini (4.5/5) - great start to the meal! I loved the crispy peppery arancini. It is pretty peppery though for those that aren't a fan! My only recos to have made this better is if it came out hotter and was a little creamier inside Caesar salad (3/5) - this was decent but not great, we weren't jumping to devour it and have had better Caesar salads Vodka pie (5/5) - The vodka pie did not disappoint! Sauce was flavorful, crust was the right amount of flimsy yet still crunchy. A little kick would have made this pizza even better for me but the Calabrian chili sauce we ordered on the side was perfect with it! Side sauces are overpriced at $4. While the pizza itself seems pricey at $30 without toppings, it's actually quite large - we shared 8 slices amongst a group of 4 girls Orange creme cannoli (5/5) - The cannoli was the perfect end to our meal! I loved the subtle orange flavor and that it wasn't overly sweet. Would order again Service was great, our waitress was so friendly and checked in on us often! Ambiance was lively with red mood lighting at night. However, I do NOT recommend for a date night (or even a girls night) because it's way too loud! I was pretty much yelling the whole time trying to have a conversation over the loud music and with others trying to do the same. Perhaps it's better for lunch... removing 1 star because that's a pain point with wanting to enjoy a meal here again

We had a large party and were able to make a reservation online ahead of time in order to accommodate all of us. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. We ordered a variety of appetizers and they came out quick. Appetizers were really good! Definitely recommend trying the cacio e pepe arancini. We ordered the vodka pie and it was just okay. Not a lot of flavor, but decent. Cute spot, but the price point doesn't match the quality of food.

I think this pizza may be some of the best in austin. The serving size was enough to feed three people and the price was fair. The crust was crispy at the bottom and soft on the inside when you got to the crust at the end- not too hard or chewy. The server recommended and side of hot honey and that was the best rec I arrived around 7 on a Saturday night and parking seemed to be pretty easy, I can how it would be hard to park later on bc it did pick up a bit.

Was wondering what the hype was about, and I'm honestly still not sure. The pizza is good don't get me wrong, but almost $40 for a pie is INSANE. We tried the vodka pie, and it was unreasonably salty. The crust was nice and chewy, good amount of toppings.

Great to see Sammataro now have a brick and mortar open - the space is intimate and comfortable. The music and artistic design make the space fun to dine here. The arancini, meatballs, salad and a pizza are my go to order! The Vodka Pie is a must - get some Calabrian chiles on the side. Service is great and you can grab a drink at the bar while waiting for a table. No reservations.

Service: 1/5 I have been going to this food truck for a while so I was excited to try the brick and mortar! I was so disappointed ): we got a table right away which was nice and the server came over and was good in the beginning. We ordered the house salad to start and the classic pizza. It took a bit for the salad to come out - salad was ok, nothing spectacular but a decent size. After our salad it took maybe 40 minutes for our pizza to come out!! They gave our pizza accidentally to other folks and we had to wait to so long! The disappointment was our waiter kind of forgot about us / was late to tell us this had happened, left us without water / much service, and then many of our pizzas had come out but it did not go to us! Maybe 4 other groups had come in after us and we were the last to leave ): it felt sort of rushed because they were closing. So disappointed, service stank. I don't get why other people who arrived after us other than the people they gave our pizza to got theirs first. Food: 4/5 Pizza is so good but the salad was meh. Ambiance: Cute restaurant! It gets pretty hot in there even with the ac because there are so many windows. Would not go with a group bigger than 4 - limited seating.

This is hands down the BEST nyc pizza in Austin!!! We got the spicy vodka pie & aperol spritz!! A common takeout spot for my bf & I!! The restaurant is beautiful and modern! The owner was serving us on our first visit & you could see he loved his business.

I recently visited Sammataro with my friends for a girls' night out. They don't take reservations so when we got there, they quoted us a wait time of 45 minutes (we ended up getting seated a lot faster though). While we waited, we ordered some drinks at the bar. I got the Hibiscus Marg, which was delicious, the perfect combination of sweet and tart. Let me start off by saying that the food was absolutely delicious for the most part. We ordered a variety of dishes to share including the Caesar Salad, Cacio e Pepe Arancini, Vodka Pie, and Orange Creme Cannoli for dessert. The Caesar Salad was fresh and crisp, but lacking in flavor. This was probably my least favorite item we ordered and the only thing that didn't get devoured. The Cacio e Pepe Arancini was a personal favorite - the cheesy risotto balls were perfectly fried and had just the right amount of pepper. The Vodka Pie was another standout dish, with a crispy crust and a creamy vodka sauce that was simply divine. And the Orange Creme Cannoli was the perfect way to end the meal, with a light and airy filling and just the right amount of citrus flavor. However, while the food was amazing, the noise level in the restaurant was simply too loud for our taste. It was difficult to have a conversation without shouting over the din, which detracted from the overall experience. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere, this might be the perfect spot, but if you're hoping for a more intimate dining experience, you might want to consider another option. Overall, I would highly recommend Sammataro for the delicious food and great service, but be prepared for a noisy atmosphere.

When I tell you this place blew me away, it truly did just that. Everything from the restaurant, to the decor, to the service was amazing. The restaurant is in a great location, decorated like an italian cafe, and great music playing. The service is unmatched, Alan, Max and Jo were all so attentive and amazing. Alan gave us great recommendations on apps and his favorite pizza combo (Vodka pizza with sausage and serranos) and Mac and Jo recommended the amazing wine. We were checked on often and they chatted and made us feel so welcome and appreciated. The Food: Cacio e Pepe Arancini- 9/10 so good Meatballs- 10/10 AMAZING Focaccia- So good, comes with a chili oil- so tasty Vodka Pizza (w Sausage)- 10000/10 we stuffed ourself because it was too good to leave, the pizza size is large and could feed 3-4. Overall Sammataro is absolutely worth all of the praise. It feels like sitting in a relative's home that wants you to have the best time. Check them out

Went for happy hour -- The House Spritz & Hibiscus Marg were discounted ($8). The Peroni was $4. If you buy a started and a pizza it's $6 off. Food was good, we got the cesaer salad, arancini, and the vodka pizza with pepperoni. Service was good and our waitress was lighthearted and funny. Definitely would come back for happy hour again!

Husband and I tried this place on a whim for date night and were so happy we did. Pizza was awesome, crust was perfectly cooked and loved the chili oil, service was great too. Glad to know they are also on Uber eats!

A little pricey but unquestionably delicious. Intimate space and cool staff. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a higher end pie.

LA Volta is LA AMAZING! Don't mind the name change (formerly Sammatro?) - this place made it on One Bite Pizza Reviews with Davey P - so you know it's got a SOLID Reputation. I'm a vegetarian so I can vouch for this place having great options. Okay, so why this place is the best pizza joint in Austin: 1) amazing vodka pizza and the classic is remanescent of new york. 2) great sauce on all pizzas, truly the most importance aspect of getting a good taste 3) great crisp, great burn when you eat it 4) Cacio e pepe and fried cheese ball are amazing. The only place I usually order this. The drinks are great too, this is where the Austin vibes come in.. 1) Hot Honey cock tail and the Begroni drinks are amazing. I love the vibe too, very "vibez" if you're looking for a place to kick back with good food, good music, good lighting and music. It's not bougie, but it's not a super casual spot, its a great date spot, a great spot to meet up with friends, its just vibes. Honestly the pizza itself is 9/10 , which means its a 11/10 anywhere outside of NYC.

Food was good but the service needs improvement. We were given the check without asking if we wanted dessert. It felt like we were supposed to order everything at the beginning. 5 minutes later they asked for payment. It felt like they wanted us out even though 1/2 the place was empty and it was still early. I was disappointed with the experience. Left enough of a bad taste that I won't go back. Pity.

Fun vibe, although a little noisy and dark, it was a really cool spot. We met the manager/owner, super friendly guy that made us feel welcome. The pizzas are great and plenty to take home. We got a pizza, wine and salad, all very good. Visited there 3 times and will return.

Had dinner at Sammataro on a weeknight. We arrived very early so there was no wait. However right after 6PM it takes a while to get seated. The place is small but charming. Service was great! We got the meatballs and they were delicious. Also got a pie and I loved the pizza! Great place for dinner for two but not a good spot for Happy Hour as they have none.

Enjoyed their marinated olives, bottle of Pinot Noir and an amazing pizza. Service was friendly and quick. We sat outside and the cool breeze made it a pleasant experience.

Oh nice, one of our favorite pizza places in flavor, style, service, location. (The full package) is also doing lunch service now . And as usual it's the best. 3 cheers to slices and giant salads and all with super friendly people. Always a pleasure y'all! Thank you.

Good cheese pie. Limited drinks. More of a salad place from what I seen with a side of alcohol (?). They do not have iced tea, but they have lemonade, which was ok. The decor is hipster for sure. Service is good, no issues there. We were looking for an italian restaurant, and this popped up as one, but the only italian they have is pizza really. No pasta in sight.

Coming from a New Yorker I feel as though this rating should mean more lol - Tried Sammataro East tonight and it was the closest thing so far to authentic New York pizza. Is it New York pizza? No. Would you know that if you're from TX or anywhere other than New York? No. We figured a weeknight wouldn't be too packed but still ordered in advance so our pizza was ready just before we arrived. Highly recommend this move. Sammataro is located in a solid little food truck park with plenty of seating on a weeknight. We got the O.G. pie and we crushed it between two people easily. 8 slices but not big slices by any means. Some delicious pizza oven char on the crust. Sauce was pretty good too. Go check it out for yourself if you want some very very solid N.Y. Style pizza.

Genuinely incredible, I've been craving everything I had here for weeks since we first had it. First of all, they had the BEST semi-dry Lambrusco I've ever had, I wish I got a pic of the bottle so I could buy a case of it! The house salad was a great, fresh start but the meatballs were to die for and something I will probably order every time I come!! And the vodka pizza (plus sides of amazing homemade ranch and chili oil) was some of the best--if not THE best--pizza I've ever had. This is all not even to mention the most charming interior and ambience! If you can swing it, try to get seated in a round window table, it's so cozy. Excellent & friendly service, too!! Can't wait to be back, Sammataro!!!

All the reviews are spot on BUT y'all need to try their homemade chili oil and ranch! I'm not a sauce guy when it comes to pizza, but this is something special. Definitely coming back soon, not only for the ambience and service, but for the sauce!!
