So happy for this. I haven't peeked in lately but they're laying the foundation for an expanded outdoor patio and last time I looked, they had at least three ovens inside.

Never had it but glad we are getting something new in the hood First place my friends from Italy recommended to me when we moved back to Austin was DeSano. Its great. We like the Burnet location but its a PITA from SW Austin. This one is so close to us. We're thrilled. They use legit ovens from Napoli. Pictures from their FB of the ovens going in... From another location...
October 21Oct 21 DeSano is very good, but pricey. I could have sworn that they didn't allow modifications, but on their order page it's clearly possible to eliminate some toppings. Was it just no substitutions or add-ons?

I've always gone with what they have on the menu and am usually fine with a margherita so I don't know anything about substitutions or modifications.
December 6Dec 6 (It's a lot closer to Dripping Springs than Austin, and I don't care.) I got dragged to some "holiday market" this morning and on the way back spotted Route 12 Filling Station. "Pull over, honey, I need a beer." We ordered a margherita pizza and I'll be damned if it wasn't a great pie. I didn't see the oven, but they claim it's wood-fired. The pizza was roughly Neopolitan in style, and it was terrific. I have no idea what this place's reputation is or if we just got lucky, but I'd go there in a heartbeat if it were in Austin. As is, it's more of a weekend drive destination, which is fine. Edited December 6Dec 6 by jimmyjazz
