East Austin Pizza to Try This Weekend

Here are some of the best pizza eateries in East Austin, according to Yelp. Which one is your favorite?

1. Via 313 Pizza

1111B E 6th Street

Yelp reviewer Gabrielle S. from Austin, TX said: “I love this place! I come here pretty much any time I am craving pizza. Detroit style is best style. The staff is friendly, laid back, and super helpful.

The pizza every single slice is perfect. They have all sorts of cool styles of pizza. Come many times, try them all, enjoy them all, struggle internally on which is your favorite. This is a food truck, but the cool part is you can wait over at the bar next door and they bring your food right to you!

I’ve made friends here, I’ve had amazing nightcaps here, I’ve come home from a hard day at work and this pizza made me forget about the daily grind. 313 is life.”

2. East Side Pies

1401 B Rosewood Avenue

Yelp reviewer Halle H. from Austin, TX said: “Hands down, best pizza I’ve ever had. Thin crust (but not crispy), insane amount of topping choices (including sauces), quality ingredients, and fast service. Can’t ask for more. I had the moon tower pie- like 5 different cheeses with a white sauce- and I have been dreaming about it ever sense. I wish I could budget to have it every single week!”

3. Bufalina

1519 E Cesar Chavez 

Yelp reviewer Jennifer T. from Philadelphia, PA said: “We stumbled across this amazing pizza shop after a late night kayaking session. It was one of the few tasty looking places open late on a Sunday. Our server, who turned out to be the owner, was terrific at helping us decide between a few options. We shared the tortellini in a Parmesan broth (to die for), two pizzas, and two desserts (one on the house). The menu seems to change frequently based on seasonal ingredients. Everything was great, and reminded us of our favorite neapolitan pizza place back in Philly!”

4. Spartan Pizza

1007 E 6th Street

Yelp reviewer Rachel P. from Austin, TX said: “This is my favorite pizza i have had in Austin. It was lip-licking good and if I wasn’t eating in the company of coworkers I probably would have had at least two more slices than I ate. Our pizza was half Zeus, half pandora and all amazing.”

5. Burn Pizza + Bar

1802 E 6th Street

Yelp reviewer Ivan G. from Austin, TX said: “Great new spot on E. 6TH Street. I am a fan of thin crust pizza and this place here has just that! Made to perfection. A little on the toasted side which I really enjoy. I ordered the 96er which came with broccoli. It was really good. However, my friend ordered The Clive pizza and I must say that was incredible. Between the pepperiness of the arugula and the generous portion of mozzarella, it made every bite just right :) They have a bar and a good selection of drinks. The staff was as friendly as they get. Prices are fair. This is definitely a place I will revisit next time I’m downtown!”
