August 18Aug 18 Yeah, I kinda dig East Side Pies. We've hit the Burnet Road location a couple of times lately.

But over on Congress, they are proposing closing part of the street to cars to make it safer for pedestrians. What if the folks that are causing issues on 6th just migrate over to Congress? It's not weird. You're just mistakenly assuming anyone put any thought into any of this, outside of listening to complaints from a vocal minority of malcontents, followed by briefly skimming studies/reports provided by groups that stand to profit from the changes. You know, the way everything gets decided in Austin.

Love it, it's my wife's favorite pizza, but it's just always slammed. When I just want a damned pizza, I like someplace I can go into and get a pizza. Not a fan of Tony C's. I've had it several times, and the crust is always too soggy/limp. I've given it several chances. I hear great things about Feral, but it's takeout only. When we want to go in and sit down and eat, that's not an option. But I do want to try it. The real hard sell is going there instead of Bufalina, which my wife loves. But again, can be tough to get in.
August 18Aug 18 I don't know how the hell you can handle eating enough pizza to come to that conclusion. Are you still in your thirties or something? I'll have to try Feral or Tony C's for my next biannual slice of pizza.

August 19Aug 19 19 hours ago, ChickenSandwich said: Amy's Ice Cream, East Side Pies broken into overnight in Austin, Texas AUSTIN (KXAN) — Two popular Austin spots were hit overnight by burglars, the businesses told KXAN Saturday. Amy’s Ice Cream and East Side Pies told KXAN they showed up to their locations on U.S. Highway 183 near Anderson Mill Road to find their glass doors had been shattered. East Side Pies shared a video with KXAN showing two people entering the business wearing dark hoodies and covering their faces. A spokesperson with East Side Pies told KXAN all three East Side Pies locations had a break-in this month, and that it’s alarming to see local businesses across Austin being targeted like this. East Side Pies said someone broke into their Burnet location on Aug. 6, and they were able to get a picture of the masked intruder. Hide contents “This break-in is part of a string of burglaries happening across Austin and too many of our fellow small businesses have been affected. What has carried us through today is the love and support we’ve already felt from our neighborhood and the city. If you are looking for a way to help, the best thing you can do is keep showing up for local spots you love. Come by and share a scoop or a burger with us- and please make sure to stop by our neighbors at East Side Pies, who were also impacted. Moments like this remind us why Austin is such a special place to call home “ -Amy’s Ice Cream spokesperson At least someone didn't murder the employees and set the place on fire. APD would never be able to solve that.
August 19Aug 19 No love for PHP? Decent pizza, great beers. Craig-Os is a good option, too. Via 313 is also a damn good calorie bomb.
August 19Aug 19 I left out Little Deli in my taxonomy of pizza joints in the greater Crestview area. My bad. Always good, sometimes great.
August 19Aug 19 I like the idea of pinthouse better than the execution. The last pizza I got there was pretty good though.

Tony C's is ass but add in Jet's, Pedroso's, and Desano's. My kid liked ESP for the $4 for 2 slices lunch special. She went there at least once a week while at McCallum.

If I were the age of a millennial, I would still be eating a ton of pizza. I'm impressed with the gastrointestinal fortitude of my fellow old timers here, though. I can't eat dairy anymore, without paying a price that isn't worth it. That, combined with the amount of sugar in pizza, and it fucking wrecks me every time I give in to temptation.

August 19Aug 19 Just now, jimmyjazz said: It's on Anderson Lane, sandwiched between a Starbucks and a Wingstop. I think it's the one I was thinking of. For a while there was a place on top of Suzi's that didn't last long, but the last thing I remember for that spot was some place with a stupid seafood pun which I assume also closed down, so it's possible it became a pizza place again.

Yeah, I can't remember the name of the place above Suzi's. It seemed unremarkable. If I'm not mistaken, it's now a District Kitchen, and there's a mattress store downstairs.

Had a little bar area on the balcony looking over scenic Anderson Lane and Yogurt Shop Murder site.

If I'm not mistaken, it's now a District Kitchen, and there's a mattress store downstairs. It was unremarkable and those barstools at the tall tables sucked. Our geezer happy hour group met up there once and we couldn’t sit comfortably because there wasn’t anyplace to park our feet. IIRC, the pizza wasn’t particularly noteworthy.
August 19Aug 19 There was a pretty good Filipino place there, but it didn't last long. I think it closed right before, or because of, Covid. Edited August 19Aug 19 by HornOnTheBayou
August 19Aug 19 Shortie’s was the name of the pizza place. I had it a few times and thought it was pretty good. Their website is still up: https://shortiespizza.com It was Be More Pacific before that. They moved to Houston and were featured on Triple D a few years ago.

August 20Aug 20 We don’t mind tall bar stools, but there should be some kind of rail to rest our gnarly feet on.
August 20Aug 20 I left out Little Deli in my taxonomy of pizza joints in the greater Crestview area. My bad. Always good, sometimes great.Little deli is awesome. The pizzas are fine and the sandwiches and desserts are great. That little shopping center is like going back in time. It reminds me of dazed and confused.
