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. The pizzas were delicious, definitely the highlight of the visit. We tried the lemon wings and they were good, but we were expecting something different.
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.
Overall, it’s a solid spot and I’d definitely go back for the pizza and the vibe.

Overall a good experience. The place is small and reservations are recommended, but we were able to grab two seats at the bar. The staff were friendly, but the service was slower than we are accustomed to. The heirloom tomato salad was tasty. The Neapolitan style pizza was as good as any we’ve had. It was nice to get off the hustle of 6th street and find a quiet place to eat. We would certainly recommend this place to others.

A very nice little hidden pizzeria. The lemon chicken wings were light and had a nice lemon twist served with peccorino. The butternut squash in brown butter was fantastic, not overly sweet and very morish!
The pizza I took was the bianca, I like thin and crispy bases and this was great! Also the prosciutto is yummy as an addition!
Thanks for a good quick lunch!

We stopped in here by chance after seeing a show. Its a cool small quiet place. The wood oven pizza was delicious! Fresh flavors, tomato sauce with a little kick. Pizza crust was perfection! Highly recommend.

The tomato cucumber salad was so good! We finished one and had to order a second one before the pizza came. The pizza dough was delicious and the right como of crunchy and soft. We ordered three pizzas and two salads for 5 people and it was perfect.

We ordered a couple of pizzas to carry out and they were delicious! Great, fast service and although we didn’t eat in the restaurant looked cosy.

Pizzeria in Downtown Austin , very small inside so consider to book your table before online at least a day before. What I didn’t like is the size of the table, we were 3 and it was very tiny table you can’t even keep glasses and plates on it if you have pizzas. Atmosphere is good, pleasant music . Pizzas were ok, nothing to compare to Italian, in Italy doesn’t exist pizza with nduja potatos and parsley!!! My Italian husband was in shock after finding parsley on pizza instead of basil. Chocolate budino for dessert was delicious as well as Italian beer Peroni. If you like try different pizza places, definitely give it a try.

Small place but nice.
It's not an original Italian pizza. Nduja pizza has to be just a simple margerita with nduja. Please use mozzarella cheese.
Peroni 🍺 ok.

Food was super good, but every time the other girl would bring our food, we weren’t even done eating the course before and usually wouldn’t be a problem but the tables are so small you can’t even fit everything on the table so I would think they would at least wait for you to be done eating before that. Felt a bit rushed tbh but the potato pizza and fennel pizza were so delicious.
Meatball were incredible.
Other than feeling rushed to eat and pay by one girl, the main waitress we dealt with was super nice and attentive.
