Favorite Pizza

Julien Olivier

Favorite Pizza is always my go-to for quick grab-and-go pizza. Solid NY style pizza, good energy, no fuss. Always a win. 🍕 Fun retro feel, cool aesthetic, and both indoor and outdoor seating depending on the mood or weather. It’s casual, comfortable, and a great spot to hang if you're eating in.

We stopped here before heading back home to Houston. This was our first time in Austin. This place has great service and brings that real NY feel! From the food, to the Mets decor inside, to the music. We tried their seasonal slice which had pesto and tomatoes. Taste great fresh out the oven. If you’re looking for a big slice for around 4-5 bucks this is your place. I believe they serve beers as well as soft drinks. They have a parking lot in the back, and they have outdoor seating as well. We ordered an extra slice of pepperoni for my wife to go.

Not just legit NY pizza... The atmosphere is as NY slice shop as it is Austin cocktail bar. Go figure. And the chicken parm sub is awesome. The seseme roll is a choice, but the bread is fresh as is the cutlet. I love this joint.

AMAZING pizza. One of my favorite spots in Austin. I got pepperoni with ranch. It was warm, crisp and flavorful.

The Caesar Salad steals the show here. “Really, at a pizza place, salad is the best thing?” Yes. The pizza is good, with some things they need to work on to perfect it. The dough is very nice- rivaling home slice for best NY style dough in town. The sauce is also nice. They cheese is good fresh, but is less desirable after the pizza has gone cold. The toppings are generally good, especially on their specialty pies. I recommend the Chin Music (sausage, peppers, hot honey, mozz) and the Dock Ellis (sautéed mushrooms, garlic, 4 cheeses, truffle oil). I’ve had WAY too much cheese added to both specialty and regular pies before - they’re a little inconsistent. OK I’ve buried the lede enough. The Caesar Salad at Favorite is magical. It will make you have feelings of joy and love and regret…when it’s gone. Yes, it is worth $14 or $18 for a regular or large. The Caesar dressing is creamy, rich, umami bliss. They add a homemade chili crisp for a hint of oil and spice. Some lemon juice adds acid and freshness. And the little gem lettuce has just the right balance of crunchy and soft. You will want to order this every time. Trust me. This is not the best pizza in Austin, but it could be close (to Home Slice) if it fixed some of its inconsistency issues.

I always enjoy finding and experiencing a new slice house. Favorite pizza comes highly recommended and it has all the Vibes of a classic Diner and pizza joint. A simple menu with delicious classic items and a changing menu of unique slices for dining in or taking out. I had a couple unique combinations including a spinach and squash nice crispy crust with the focus on Fresh delicious ingredients and toppings. Classic Slice and full of flavor. Highly recommend this spot when walking around Piedmont Park or the neighborhoods

First Time in Austin… and the Pizza Game Is Dough-roughly impressive🔥 Had to tap in with two pies on my first run in the city. 🍕 Sausage & Peppers — solid intro. 🍕 Pepperoni — PERFECTION. From the sauce 🍅 to the cheese 🧀 to the dough — it was straight-up symphony. 🎶👏🏾 Austin might’ve just earned a spot on the pizza map in my book. 📍 Favorite pizza has good reviews for a reason! Big bites, big flavor, big vibes. Would I double back? Absolutely. 😮‍💨 #AustinEats #PizzaLover #FoodieVibes #PepperoniPerfection #MrThenEats #FirstBiteMagic 🍕🧠🔥

Stopped in for a few slices for dinner. Had the pepperoni and a seasonal pizza which was a white sauce, pepperoni and pickled jalapeño. Both slices were amazing. Nice crispy crust, perfect amount of sauce. Also has a cool vibe inside and the workers were very friendly. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Austin.

Do yourself a favor and stop in for a slice and a Birra Moretti at the bar - legit the best Italian beer I've ever had and I can't seem to find it anywhere else!

Whitney Gilbert

Vintage feel without feeling like it’s going to fall apart. Great food and vibe. It’s teeny tiny so if you want to hang, lunch may be your best bet! We will for sure come back here! Such a great Austin find!

Probably the best NY style pizza is Austin. Pies are delicious, it's right on Sixth St across from the Kung Fu Saloon. Small lobby,but retro in the best way. The disco ball in the bathroom is SO extra it's -whimsical,lol. Have a slice you won't regret it.

Great thin New York pizza by slice or whole. Very thin, very crispy. Great cesar salad, great meat balls (very soft). Good overall, good service. Prices are ridiculously high but if you are willing tobspend almost $30 per person thenbthis is all right.

Some places nail atmosphere but the food is meh, some the opposite and every once in a while it’s spot on for both, Odd Duck or Little Deli for example. Favorite Pizza nails service and atmosphere, a blast from the past growing up in a small town in New York with a 1,000 pizza places, Pack Man and a slice and a coke for $1.00. We had slices, so need to try a whole fresh pie but we enjoyed the Italian sausage and the kale salad. Not the greatest pizza ever but very respectable. Should be in the debate though for one of the better pizza options in Austin. Just like it should be, quick, affordable, warm, friendly, good. What more could you want?

Big pizza slices, fast service, a bit pricey but one slice is usually enough to fill me up. This place has a true New York pizzeria look and feel with the baseball classics playing. The staff is nice and restrooms were decent. Good spot if you’re on 6th and need a quick but decent bite to eat.

Found this place driving by today by accident and wow a perfect pepperoni slice. Being from the east coast, NY style thin crust is my personal favourite and this place nailed it. Thin, airy, soft crust with a slight char. Maybe we got lucky because it was fresh out of the oven but it was great.

Ordered pickup to try their salad after hearing good things about it. Ordered it, arrived 5min after the promise by time, the employee told me it’ll be ready in 3min which turned into close to 10min, for a salad! The icing on the cake was them not including any dressing, all for $20. Big time rip off. Austin has so many good pizza options, would not recommend here.

Pizza is basically a thinner version of Sam’s pizza. If you like getting a pizza from Sam’s on your way out of buying bulk groceries this is right up your alley. I had a frozen Aperol spritz and it was refreshing but small. Make sure you bring small bills and change because they round up or down depending on your total and they don’t break large bills. This is only my experience from one visit so take it with a “grain of parm”

I ordered Favorite Pizza to celebrate a birthday in the family this past weekend and it sadly was a disappointment. This place used to be the closest to New York pizza I could get, but the pizza was completely different. The dough was off, making it very dry. The crust was thick whereas it was usually thinner. The sauce was almost bitter. I’m unsure if this was an off day, but it will be some time before I come back.

This was my go to pizza in Austin but it has gone so downhill, the quality of pizza is MUCH higher when you get a full pie as opposed to taking out slices. Took out a salad and slice, the slice was the driest, most burnt slice I may have ever had, zero flavor tasted like cardboard and the salad which used to be a favorite was completely different - used to have chickpeas, red onion and grated parm on top, tonight it had green olives, mozzarella balls, artichokes, tomatoes with no chickpeas or onion - just a completely new salad than the menu describes... what's going on?

Do not get delivery. We ordered the 7train and it looked nothing like the pictures. Three inches crust and one little slice of cheese on the entire pizza. Was not cooked all the way. Zero flavor. I don’t know how this place gets good reviews outside of drinks on sixth street.
