Must try pizza place Food: At first you think is a regular pizza but when you try the sauce and cheese they got it right. I got a margarita personal one and I love it! The only thing is that if you want crunchy Dough, let them know. I have my days that I want that. Price: very reasonable. Environment: people know each other a d it looks they are repetitive clients. As soon as I got there I felt very comfortable. It is a layback place, perfect for Family, Sports, Pizza time with the friends and music is super classic. They were playing the 3 Musketeers and II was just great to be there during lunch time. Service: The server or manager made sure I like and enjoy pizza. I noticed that he will ask the clients on how was everything and he was really interested in knowing. read more

Took my 11 year old grand son, hoping for a special night out. It was special like the short bus. Pizza was flavorless. We brought most of it home and no one wanted to eat it. Took over an hour to get our food. My bad I ordered the Caprese salad even though I dispise balsamic vinagar, Asked for plain Italian got charged an extra 1.25. Grand son loves spaghetti. They were out. Tables were packed, not of customers enjoying their meals but of folks still waiting on their orders. It was the only sit down Italian in Elgin and just up the road. I now happily drive the extra distance to get to NAPOLIS ITALIAN BISTRO, down town. Service was not only rude but I was positive Christmas would come before we got food. Spent about 60 bucks for the two of us and the best I can say is we paid dearly for the knowldge to never return. Just driving by anymore is enough to elicid a look a look of disgust from the grand kid and his pet name for Aviators is the restruant that must be avoided at all costs. The salad was pretty and the Balsamic was my fault but still paid WAY TOO MUCH for food noone enjoyed. read more

Annual trek to Elgin for a Christmas Tree. I guess we're making this a habit. Stopped in for pizza after finding the perfect cat fir... Pizza was great, as usual, and the beer was refreshingly cold - awesome on a warmer than average day. We've now visited two Aviator locations a couple of times each and always been pleased. Keep up the good work! read more

4.5 stars. Quick, yummy, affordable pizza on the way to Austin! Drive-thru window made it super convenient. Love how you can get 2 different toppings on a 9" personal pizza. Maybe not the best pizza ever (I like Via 313), but definitely good for the price. FLYING GARLIC (garlic butter base, chicken, garlic, spinach, feta, spinach, crushed red peppers) $9.95 for 9" - slightly preferred over the Brussels sprouts pizza bc I loved the garlic and feta. Only complaint is that there was hardly any chicken, mostly garlic cloves. SRIRACHA BRUSSELS SPROUTS & GOAT CHEESE (red sauce base, Brussels, goat cheese, honey sriracha, mozzarella) $9.95 for 9" - the goat cheese was the predominant flavor which I enjoyed. Not much Brussels sprouts. Maybe this would be better on a white base rather than red sauce? Still good. 9" pizza comes w/ 6 slices. I probably would've been satisfied after 3-4, but I'm fat and ate the whole thing. Shareable if you're not a big eater. Crust is thicker than MOD Pizza, I love bread! CINNAMON PECAN DESSERT $7- basically the size of a 9" pizza so it's worth the price. It was yummy! However, I wish there was more icing and pecans on it (compared to other pics), but I have a huge sweet tooth. Plain cinnamon dessert is $5.50 Picnic tables in front if you want outdoor dining. Connected to the gas station (sign is easy to miss). Plenty of parking. read more

Ok it's a ways out, but if you are ever in Elgin I recommend stopping in at Aviator Pizza! When you walk in you are going to feel like you are in a cave! It is dark in here... I mean almost just way too dark. Hard to see in here. However once you adjust your going to notice a pretty nice selection of beer on tap, some specials, they sell growlers... and that the menu has a bit to offer! You walk up to the count order and get a number. The counter service could use a little urgency... or at least the ability to kick it up a notch when the line is about to go out the door! We ordered and sat down and waited... it wasn't long and the side salads hit he table... dude salad or salad bar?!? These things could feed two easily!! Then shortly the behemoths of pizzas started to come out! We ordered 3 18" pizzas for 4 adults and 2 kids. Oooops!! Can you say glutens!!! Obviously we got carried away!! We got the all meat, a bacon cheese burger and a cheese half black olive for the boys. The crust was chewy but firm, the toppings plentiful and the flavor was good! The size... well the size was gigantic! We were sitting on a long picnic style table and almost couldn't make room for them all to fit! Amazingly enough... we almost finished two complete pizzas and really only had the boys partial left... oink oink... yep piggies cane to graze. The all meet was fantastic! The bacon cheese burger was good but was missing something... it was just kind of bland... more bacon or jalapeño maybe? It was a nice place... suggestion... raise the light level a bit... it is a log cabin style place and with how dark it is it is like I'm in a hole. Other then that... it's a pretty good experience! read more

Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse - Spinach salad !! - Pizza Near Me - Elgin, Texas

My wife and I were driving home from Austin on Father's day looking for something to eat. I was craving pizza, so she lit up when she saw a sign for some outstanding pizza from Aviator Pizza coming up in two exits. We decided on an 18" to share and went with the pepperoni and basil with black olives. The cashier, and sole employee on the front side, was very friendly and humored us as we decided through the menu. Nothing really special there, but not everyone handles our humor or weirdness, so props to her. The pizza arrived shortly (plus for time) and we dug in. It was very tasty and the crust was very satisfying. I can't quite pin the taste, but it seemed like a home-made or high end dough because the taste lingered, and in a good way. It was one of my favorite crusts. The rest of the pizza was great as well and ranks up there with the best. Aviator Pizza is nowhere close to where I live, but if I take a road trip to Austin again, I will certainly make it a point to stop in. I'd go so far to say it would be worth leaving the city limits to get some better pizza. read more

Delicious pizza and normally pretty quick service. We love this family owned place. My favorite is the Greek.

We came here for dinner last night. You order and pay at the front then they bring the food to you. They don't have a menu on the wall but they have it printed at the front for you to look at. We ordered their classic mozzarella focaccia, a 9-inch pepperoni basil pizza, and a 9-inch Hawaiian. The dough was really yummy and my husband loved it. They make their pizza sauce in house, which is a fun touch. I thought their red sauce tasted just like tomato paste. It was really thick and not super flavorful but I also couldn't taste anything else but the sauce. read more

How you gonna be rude to a customer... when I ask why the "hot & spicy" wings... don't have any flavor or if they put any sauce or rub on them? I ended up asking other customers and even got feedback from someone carrying out. And everyone noticed how rude the waitress was... read more

Great pizza! We tried the Meat Almighty and BBQ Chicken. Great crust, right amount of sauce, and loaded with toppings. There is cheese under there, I promise! Didn't try their beers but will next time! read more

Greetings to all. Unfortunately this wasn't the best for me. The pizza was not very tasty. It was bland! The calzone didn't contain very much meat and was rather flat compared to other calzone I have had. I have to mention the Greek salad is delicious. I definitely say try the business yourself and see if it is to your satisfaction! read more

Delicious pizza but sort of pricey. The ambience is rustic and has a piano on the side wall, nice touch. Nice pizza box but I had to ask for a to go bag as it was not offered with my to go salad, pizza, and drinks. read more

A fine place. I did not have the pizza or the beer. I had eighty miles left to drive - And there is lots on the menu besides pizza. My lasagne was lovely. For pizza fans, the key thing to know is that the tomato sauce is very fresh. It is first rate. Tomato sauce is fifty percent of what makes a good pizza right there. The crust is the second fifty percent and toppings are the third fifty percent. Yes, that equals one hundred and fifty percent. That is why you don't eat pizza when you are on a diet. The lasagne was different from my home made lasagne. I go for a huge massive towering structure - and I load it with every Italian calorie bomb on the peninsula. Sausage AND mortadella AND ricotta AND mozzarella AND AND AND. All in industrial quantities. Aviator's version is low slung rather than high rise. A California motel, not a skyscraper. The fillings are modest all the more so to set off and feature the very fine tomato sauce. Fair enough. (My own tomato sauce is no great shakes.) I was happy eating the lasagne. I was ECSTATIC eating the garlic bread. Garlic bread is simple technology. But if the bread is good and there is a ton of butter and garlic, Then life is basically fine. Life was fine. read more

I can't believe I've never rated aviator before!! We have been in the area for about 5 years now after both growing up in austin and this is by far a favorite. When my sister and BIL moved to Kyle from Indianapolis, we had already introduced them to Elgin aviator so they loved the location down there. The sriracha Brussels sprouts are the best, I only wish this location had prosciutto. The salad is always so fresh which I appreciate. I can't stand pizza places with nasty salad. But never have to worry about that at aviator!! read more

Great food and service . Every time I go to order to eat or for pick up the people are so friendly and the food is always delicious. Must try the chicken wings read more

Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Elgin, Texas

Definitely one of the better places in the area for sure! The building and setup was cute and great menu. I got the Brussels sprouts specialty pizza with goat cheese. However, I am 99% sure it wasn't goat cheese and instead, feta. Not a bad alternative, just not what was in the menu. The crust was a bit thick for my taste and wound up leaving hunks of it on my plate. Would love to try other things like calzones, salads and the two vegetarian grinder sandwiches! read more

Got the keys to our new home today and I need of a good meal after a long day. Aviator was close and the reviews were good and right! Ordered online and by the time I got to the restaurant our order was ready. Cute little place full of families on a Thursday night. It was easy to order online and the pizza was delicious. Also got an order of wings and very tasty (would like them a little crispier) yum! Will definitely visit again read more

Great pizza! Love the cheeseburger pizza and the Greek pizza. Enjoy watching sports with friends, not particularly great place to have deep conversations. Staff is really friendly. read more

We met family here in Elgin for some pizza and visiting. We shared a capreze salad, vegetarian, vegan style and the 4 cheese, Margherita style. Such a great friendly atmosphere and excellent food. Tomas was a great host; definitely one of our eating spots near Austin. read more

The food is delicious! We stopped here on the way back from Houston and we're not disappointed!

We enjoyed our food. The girls in the front really made our experience memorable, they helped with everything from the choice of local beer with tastings and the food which was amazing. We got the Italian sandwich and the calzone pepperoni and sausage. Both were really good, and recommended. So happy we stopped here. Will be back again. read more

Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse - pizza and beer - Pizza Near Me - Elgin, Texas

Service was ok. Nothing special. Food was good. Although the pizza crust could have used a little salt or maybe sugar but it alone was very bland. Besides all that, what bothered me (having waitressed in my younger days) was it was pretty dirty. The napkin dispensers on the table was filthy. Like never been dusted or wiped. They had just opened yet the cheese and pepper shakers on the tables were mostly empty. Someone is not doing their duties. And the logs on the walls were covered in dirt, dust and cobwebs. When it looks like this in the places I can see, makes me wonder what it looks like where I can't see‍ read more

Most of the tables were filthy & sticky. My pizza was burnt & they forgot to add any sauce. It was just a burnt crust with cheese & over cooked pepperoni. The fountain drink machine was not working properly so, the soft drinks tasted like a club soda. I won't be back. read more

Laid back ambiance, service was quick, food was tasty! It was a little confusing when I walked in, but the process is to go up to the counter to order first, then you can seat yourself! read more

Great pizza definitely would recommend Not a fan of baked wings but everything here seems to taste pretty good read more

Loved the bacon double cheeseburger pizza and caprese salad. We also had the pepperoni and sausage calzone. My husband loved it. Great service too! read more

Best pizza east of Austin. I always order ahead and pickup to take home, and they do a great job at cooking it fast and my favorite thing is the box is not greasy like other pizza places. Give them a chance before going to the corporate chains and I guarantee it will be worth it. read more

Love, love, love their chicken bacon ranch pizza with Alfredo sauce instead of the tomato. I'm a crust fanatic and they have one of the best crusts I've ever had. Can hardly wait until they get finished with their new facilities. read more

This was our first trip to an Aviator. We went with high hopes because of the "gluten free" option. Well. It's pretty unfair to paint a restaurant as a good option for gluten free food with just ONE option. A GF crust. But. It really isn't. If you are gluten INTOLERANT, this is NOT your place. It's really not much of a choice at all. Red sauce or pesto. Thats it. So you can have red sauce on a cracker. That's how the GF crust is. A dried cracker. Burnt crisp. The other pizza crust... is like one size fits all. They take a single amount of pizza dough for all 3 sizes of pizza. I had a 9 inch pizza and it could have been a calzone. Its was WAY too much dough. I added portobello mushrooms as a topping and got about 10 small pieces. It just wasn't good. In fact about all I can say that is positive is the Cream Soda. Everything else was just, meh. read more

My wife & I were in Elgin, TX visiting our grandkids. We ordered takeout and it was excellent. My 2 grandsons devoured a cheese pizza. My teenage granddaughter loved her personal pizza loaded with meat. My wife is a vegan. She loved their Veganlicious pizza. I had the Sriracha & Goat Cheese pizza. It was outstanding. My son enjoyed his Ham and Cheese Grinder. The only criticism is that the grinder was really just a sub with a toasted bun. The food was very high quality and well prepared. Highly recommended. read more

Food is amazing but this last couple of times I've been going the host/ waiter is always slow and looks like he's always under the influence never gets my order right and gives Attitude last time I went I waited 45 min for my order asked the guy what's going on and he said he forgot to put the order in but sure did charge me !!!! read more

The pizza is always spot on and the service is great! I highly recommend the buffalo chicken pizza read more

We just moved to Elgin and wanted to grab a pizza in the middle of moving things from our old house to the new one. Thought we would find a 'meh' pizza joint, considering the close proximity to the gas station. BOY WHERE WE WRONG! Aviator is amazing, the food is fresh, and insanely delicious. We have been back multiple times!! The dining room area is super clean, the staff is super nice, and they even took our last minute take-out order one night when we were just craving their BBQ pizza. Don't pass up Aviator, it's amazing. read more

We decided to stop here before a high school football game for dinner. We had pizza, sandwich, cheese bread and a few beers. The pizza was less than mediocre; I was extremely disappointed in the quality and flavor. The pizza brought out to me was warm at the crust but toppings were cold. It was as if they had a pepperoni pizza sitting around and just placed toppings on top before bringing it out to our table. The crust and ingredients were just ok, not much flavor. The sandwich was pretty tasty as was the cheese bread. The other complaint is the sauce for the bread- it was tomato paste in a plastic cup. The reason for the two stars was the sandwich and beer selection. Plenty of local beers on tap. I will not return to this place since it's not in our city.. if you are a fan of pizza this is probably not the place for you. read more

This place has the best pizza around. I have worked in SOHO / NYC so I know what Pizza should taste like and this place is amazing. The atmosphere is great. They have some local brews, pizza, calzones and more. I highly recommend this place read more

This is our go-to pizza place! We drive 15 miles from Bastrop every Sunday to enjoy a mix of pizza, pasta, and salads. The food is always delicious and consistent! The greenbelt salad is my favorite - I enjoy it with ham instead of chicken and the Cabernet vinegrette and toasted pecans are the perfect toppers. As good as the food is, the service is even better. Thomas and Ashley always welcome us as soon as we walk in the door and make sure we are happy with our meal. The Aviator crew is like extended family and make us look forward to our next visit. read more
