The Best Pizza in Austin — 10 Spots After the Round

Google Maps July 19, 2026 10 Spots
Best pizza in Austin — Bufalina

Austin's pizza scene has quietly become one of the best in Texas. You've got a 900-degree wood-fired Neapolitan spot on East Cesar Chavez that rates higher than most restaurants in the city. A Hyde Park shop doing the best New York-style slices south of the boroughs. A trailer on 51st Street with two-day fermented dough. A Hill Country outpost pairing Neapolitan pies with house-smoked pastrami. This is 10 spots — no chains, no frozen dough, just pizza.

The styles run from classic Neapolitan and New York-style to New Haven thin-crust and Jersey-style BYOB. Wood-fired trailers at craft breweries. Neighborhood delis with picnic tables. South Congress institutions with lines out the door. Every neighborhood, every style, all within striking distance of a muni course.
