"Neapolitan pizzeria Bufalina attracts a lot of attention, but New York-style offshoot Palm Pizza has truly excellent pies. Though it doesn’t have the best ambiance — seating is all outdoors and overlooks a parking lot — the pies are incredible. The Palm is a favorite, amped up with melty stracciatella, and thick-crust square slices available in pepperoni or cheese that are a must. Dine in and pair your pizza with wine or cold beer when the weather’s hot, or order online for pickup or delivery." - Erin Russell
"East Austin New York-style pizzeria Palm Pizza introduced a new potato-filled pie this month. The round pizza comes with big round thin slices of Yukon Gold potatoes, which offer a nice texture balance to the mozzarella pie filled with shaved fontina cheese, sprinkles of parsley, zings of garlic, sweet caramelized onions, and rosemary oil drizzles." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Not to rest on their laurels, the people behind the excellent Neapolitan pizzeria Bufalina and Bufalina Due have opened a brand new spot, Palm Pizza on Cesar Chavez in East Austin. Cooked in a gas-fired steel deck oven, the 18-inch pizzas are classic New York-style pies, with a thin, crispy crust, and they’re spectacular. The pizzas taste of New York City (but maybe with less grit and pigeon). The pizzas are only available by pre-order, but there's also a little patio you can grab a picnic table at if you want to eat your dinner close to the source. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
