Emma Gao★★★★★Everything about this place is amazing. This is probably the best pizza I’ve ever had and ever will. It might even be better than the Michelin guide pizza restaurant back in my town. Every single pizza was delicious! The Caesar salad is the only Caesar salad I have ever loved or even liked in my life. They also have really nice bathrooms with free feminine products.
josh kendrick★★★★★It was my first time here, my buddy and I came in around 1pm on a Thursday. On top of Sydney being very helpful, sweet and attentive, the food was absolutely delicious! Chef Gabe and chef Stephen are killing it, definitely will tell my friends and recommend people coming in town visiting. Keep up the great work and vibe yall. Very grateful!

Ana Maria Fernandez★★★★The space is small and cozy, and it truly makes you feel like you’re somewhere other than Austin. The service was great, our server was attentive and really nice.

Since it’s in Downtown, parking can be a bit tricky, so plan ahead. I also recommend making a reservation because the place is small and fills up fast. There was a slight odd smell at times, which we think might have been coming from the pipes, but it wasn’t a major issue. Overal
