This place cracks me up — it’s basically an old dive bar with quality ambient lighting and a good cleaning crew, but somehow it pulls off speakeasy vibes 😂 had a great time here! The bartenders were super kind to us despite the reviews

I can't explain why but this is my favorite bar in town. It's a little girly but in a lived-in kinda way. The drinks are actually reasonably priced. There's always a little crowd, a good vibe, but I've never seen it too full. There's pool, shuffleboard, and even a claw machine. It's a great place for a first date or a pregame before the roller rink.

I really enjoyed this neighborhood bar. There was a good range of beer on tap and I loved the outdoor seating area. Benches made from pickup tailgate was a great touch. We spent a couple of hours here late in the evening over a few slow beers and it was exactly what we had been looking for. Highly recommended

Fairly long wait. 45 mins on a Friday evening, but very worth it! Love the neopolitan pizza, the dough is on point, light, chewy, delicious! Homemade pasta and burrata were terrific and the Caesar salad was easily shared between 4 adults.

Give Bufalina their Due! What an excellent experience all around. The parking is a little tricky and there tends to be a little wait during happy hour, but trust me - it’s all worth it. This is high quality food made with expertise and love. Many of their major ingredients like the mozzarella cheese are made by a professional in-house and it absolutely shows. The big stand-outs of our meal were the fried mozzarella and the vanilla ice cream. Yes - I did say vanilla ice cream. Don’t knock it until you try it. It’s also made in-house by a pro. We also ordered the Talarico pizza and rigatoni pasta - everything was packed with flavor. The mozzarella started us out strong but the entrees still delivered. We will definitely be coming back.

Somehow the lightest pizza I’ve ever eaten but still delish. Not greasy at all with a super thin bread and crust. Honestly got a little bit of a spicy kick to it…! The cheese + shishito peppers was also bomb

Staff is professional and personable. Nice intimate vibe for date night. This location is worth the drive to the other side of town. The first location seems to have a politically forward vibe. Not something I am into when we're just looking for a friendly neighborhood spot.

We tried mushroom pie(must try) and vodka arrabiata. They good options for woodfire pizza and great selection for Wines. Also good place for date night or small group

I came here for my birthday dinner with 8 other girls and it was such a great experience. Every single thing we ordered was fresh and a perfect size. The rigatoni is one of the best I've had in Austin, and the margarita pizza was delicious as well. The service was attentive and the pacing of the food was great. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun date spot, girls night out, or a casual bite.

Pizza really tasty. The dough quite light and the ingredients authentic. Try a tomato base pizza since it’s a real Italian taste! A must stop for Italians in the US!

I recently dropped by Bufalina Due and was impressed. Their Bufala pie (buffalo mozzarella, basil, tomato) is creamy and well balanced, and the Diavola with spicy sausage has just the right kick. The crust has a welcome crisp at the edges but stays soft in the center. The restaurant has a relaxed, cozy feel (ideal for a casual dinner), and the staff were friendly and attentive. It’s a solid pizza spot — especially when you're craving something simple but done really well.

We stopped by Bufalina Due on a Sunday around 4 PM and were seated right away. A nice surprise—we learned they offer daily happy hour with $2 off draft beers, half-off select pizzas, and $8 house wines. Our server, Molly, was warm and attentive, making the whole experience seamless. We ordered the Caesar salad (9/10), cacio e pepe (7/10), and mushroom pizza (8/10). The mushroom pizza in particular stood out—rich, earthy, and full of flavor. The only drawback for me was that several dishes leaned a bit heavy on the salt. Still, the quality, atmosphere, and service make Bufalina Due worth a visit!

This gets so hard. As I’ve said, I think Google should change their rating system. I’ve been here a couple of times. Always good fun and nice atmosphere. I would probably rate the pizza a 4.4 if we had a rating system. I definitely think some of them could have benefited from a balsamic drizzle or a little added punch of flavor. The pasta was really good even though it didn’t look like much. All in all, it’s another Austin must try

The Calabrese was nice and flavorful. Highly recommend. It was a little spicy because of the Serrano peppers but I loved it! The place is packed - had to wait 30 mins but it was worth it. Atmosphere is decent - it’s just super packed

Iman Alsharkawi

Great pizza place, very similar in style to the pizzas I get in Napoli. So if you want a close to real Italian feel, this is the place! They have a great happy hour also where select pizzas are half off every day from around 4:30-5:30. Totally worth it.

We came here for a birthday and had a lot of fun. the pizza was fantastic with a hint of lemon and the pasta was El Dante. We also enjoy the season salad which had special small croutons. We will definitely come back again.

I recently visited Bufalina Due with some friends, and it was a fantastic experience. We initially ordered two pizzas, but they were so delicious that we ended up ordering one more! The first pizza we tried had a perfect balance of flavors, with fresh ingredients and a beautifully charred crust that added a nice smokey flavor. The second pizza was equally delightful, with a rich, tangy tomato sauce and gooey, perfectly melted cheese. Our third pizza, which we ordered on a whim due to the amazing taste of the first two, did not disappoint either. The ambiance of Bufalina Due is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. The service was prompt and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our dining experience. If you’re a pizza lover, Bufalina Due is a must-visit. The quality of their pizzas is exceptional, and the experience is well worth it. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy some of the best pizza around.

Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the city. The ambiance and atmosphere were cozy and welcoming. The service was attentive, polite, and professional. Being from New England I really miss this style of pizza. One of the top pizzas I’ve had anywhere from Austin to New York City. Good quality ingredients and a perfectly cooked pizza. The pizza was so good I ordered a second one! The pasta is incredible!

JiShun Zhou

Great Neapolitan style pizza! Very light, great flavours, and good quality ingredients! All the pizza tasted great and were light, which is very nice since pizza gets you full very quickly most of the time. You don’t feel very heavy afterwards! Fast service - very much recommended!

Used to be old dive bar Poodle dog lounge. Now it's newer, nicer dive bar, Aristocrat Lounge. It's a really cool laid back vine with routine and interestingly delicious drinks. Get the frozen churro. Lots of bar games, inland outdoor seating. Wheelchair accessible indoors, outside may be tight to manage and table arrangements don't allow for a lot of space for wheelchair navigation.

This was the first time visiting this lounge and I was very surprised how big it was inside. It has several pool tables, dart boards and a shuffle board. The highlight of their drink selection was their Old Fashion on tap. If I'm in the area I would stop by here again.

Nice little spot for day drinking. Surprisingly great drinks on tap. Pineapple jalapeno Paloma (not too sweet) is so solid!

Chill place, good atmosphere. Drinks are decently priced and it has an outdoor area, plus pool tables inside. Parking's usually pretty convenient, either in the small lot in front or on residential streets close by. Doesn't tend to get a large crowd, so solid place for a date if you're looking for somewhere you can hear each other talk and don't want to be cramped.

Nice dive bar, saw a band for a saturday matinee

Finally made it here after many attempts but finding no parking or having incredibly long waits. This place is always way crowded. But understandably so, the pizza was killer. Everything we ate and drank was spot on and had a great experience. The service was a tad slow but it's expected as such a crowded spot. Would recommend but come at off hours.

Soo Chin

Has a good vibe with the semi open kitchen and big white forno. Watch the pizzas enter the furnace while you sip wine. HH is the pro choice so tap out early from your workee and get ye to da pizzeria!

Xin Zhang

Pizza is good, cooking in the kitchen freshly. Spaghetti a bit too salty, didn't take pictures. Overall service was nice and friendly.

Ignatia Chew

Excellent service. All staff very attentive. Extremely small establishment in the heart of the Allandale area. frequented by locals. Excellent wine selection, wood burning oven and conversational establishment. Pizzas are 12" of yummy goodness and Cesar salad can feed three easily. Limited parking in front. Park on back side and walk around bldg. Quick service and only waited 20 min to be seated.

Multiple times bartenders have been rude and berated customers. It's a dive bar, expectations are minimal in terms of service, but we're talking instigating totally needless confrontations over literally nothing with unproblematic customers. Read other reviews, it's a trend. Plenty of better dive bars in the neighborhood now without jerks behind the bar. Only thing I can recommend here is Yeni's Fusion, she's wonderful.

DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! I’ve NEVER been treated so poorly at a bar in Austin. The bearded bartender was such a condescending jerk and should be fired immediately. If this is a bar where the staff is rude, it should be written on the walls outside instead of the fun poodle decor.
