    Aviator Pepperoni BOGO 20" pizza.
    Danny J.

    Got a Bogo, which means two for one pepperoni pizza 20 inch delicious. Moved out here recently and have had it a few times in Elgin and a few times in Austin aviator Pizza location very good pizza thank you.

    ***disclaimer*** Yes, I ate in Elgin and it wasn't BBQ. A 1st in over 30yrs. A risky move, but with absolutely NO regrets! This beautiful little hidden gym is tucked away behind a shell gas station. BLUF: Great pizza, great atmosphere, good beer selection. Dog and VET friendly. The plethora of selections was daunting. I bellied up to the counter and was so NOT prepared given that people were behind me and salivating waiting to take me out with a pizza pan had I not ordered any faster. I hastily ordered 1/2 and 1/2 ... I asked for their "meat lovers" and shared the pan with a proteinless (I'll get kicked out of Elgin if said to loud) Goat Cheese, garlic, and Sirachi Roasted Brussel sprouts on marinara. I also ordered their Buffalo Wings. My unruly Dog was acting a fool unexpectedly and uncharacteristically... I think he senses the urgency, but they had a jar of pet treats right at the counter! I promptly ordered a Hazy IPA and made my way to my table drooling at each pizza I passed on the way. Pizza was out fast! The meat lovers consisted of pepperoni, Sausage, Canadian Bacon, and bacon. ...I should have made a video because the bacon CRUNCHED when I bit into the slice! It was delicious. Dough report ..so/so. It didn't have the bite of a hand tossed pizza. It was more like a thin version of Via 313, but not that good. It was basically bread and not glutenized hand worked pizza dough. None-the-less, it was good. If only there was some protein that matched up with the goat cheese and Brussel sprouts! That would have put it over the top. That veggie half of the pizza was so good! Generous toppings and so much flavor. Service was super friendly, and attentive, willing to let you sample any beer on tap you want. The wings were deceiving. They looked like they would be soggy, but they were crisp. If you like your wings drowning in sauce, you better ask for it. They looked naked but there was enough sauce to qualify them as buffalo. I loved that they were not over cooked and were big juicy mouth watering pieces of wings that you might have thought came from a turkey based on their size. I'll be back and will have more pics coming soon! Definitely a good option in Elgin if you are searching for something other than BBQ (sacrilege).

    Rosemary tomato mozzarella breadsticks

    Had a great time at Aviator Pizza! After a long day of moving we decided to stop in here to get some early dinner. Overall we had a very nice time and the food was delicious. We ordered the lazy goat pizza and the rosemary, tomato and mozzarella focaccia bread sticks. Both were piping hot and delicious. We loved the breadsticks in particular. We also got two draught beers that were both great. The service was excellent the cashier, didn't catch his name unfortunately, came over to make sure we were enjoying our meal and did a great job keeping the restaurant clean. He was also super nice. The inside of this place is very cute! They have nice bathrooms and I like the log cabin vibe they're going for. We had an excellent time and will for sure be back!

    Searched open restaurants on a Monday night in Bastrop County and happened upon this gem. Appears like a corporation but actually has the small town family feel. Pizza was delicious, ranch was on par and portions were perfect. I think we found our new pizza place in area.

    Meatball and potato salad
    Eric M.

    Only thing to say is WOW! Been eating Aviator for a while now. First time at the OG Elgin store and their food slaps so good! Had the Chicken Alfredo, BBQ Wings and Meatball grinder! Alfredo is like nothing I've had before and I'm in love! Crispy wings and grinder were on point too! Hats off to Thomas and his amazing staff! I hope Yelp doesn't remove my review again! Sad they do this! No touching!!!!

    Cheese Pizza
    Milannie C.

    While on a trip to Elgin, decided to give Aviator Pizza a try. Best thing about the whole experience was that it wasn't busy despite being Saturday around dinner time. We ordered an 18' inch cheese pizza, Caesar salad and baked hot and spicy wings. The pizza was better than expected and I loved the crust. The texture on the wings was weird and unappealing, but they tasted great. The salad was not tossed and I am not a fan of tomatoes on a Caesar salad, but the dressing was decent. We were starving, so I didn't remember to take pictures of the wings and pizza until we had already started eating. But better late than never. My kids liked it a lot, so we'll be checking out the Mueller location soon.

    Ground Control
    John M.

    We don't really go to often, so I feel I need to chime in when we do....Place was actually pretty busy and usually the wait can be a bit, but this round they had them pies flyin out the oven. We always stick with the same pies...Wife rolls 4 cheese with pepperoni, and Im a Major Tom or Ground Control....they did offer a new Focaccia bread sticks that comes with goat cheese, or we just missed the option everytime we went...and its a must have for us moving forward. Best pie in the area for us.

They offer flights of 4 beers for $8, so we grabbed the opportunity to try all of their beers as well as one of the seltzer flavors they make. We choose the lemon/lime, but they also had a prickly pear and a watermelon seltzer available. Our favorite beers were the Dube Moon (a play on Blue Moon, served with a fresh orange slice and everything) as well as the Wolf Bock (very toasty and malty perfect for the colder months). There is a large food menu that is made in house. We ordered the Green Chili Cheeseburger that was delicious and evoked memories of happy backyard celebrations with the Green Chili Mac and Cheese side(I could eat a whole bucket of this!), and it comes with a pickle. We then headed over to the winery building which has lots of homemade items and food products to stuff your stockings for the holidays. We tried a create your own flight of 4 different wines and learned a lot about the area and how they make everything. The wines were more sweet and light than we usually drink, but I'm sure that appeals to more people. The drive out is very far, but there are a decent amount of signs along the way. It's a great wide space to bring your dog or kids. There are 2 very well behaved and friendly Australian Shepards of the owners that roam around. One sat with us for a while, so cute! There are a few large, clear tvs and that day they had a few football games playing that day with a reasonable volume. They have an amazing stage setup and live music every week. This would be a wonderful place to use for a large event. They have large, clean bathrooms and tons of parking. We'll definitely be back to try rotating beers and just purely because of the service and how welcome we were made to feel.

Founded in 1997 by Chip McElroy, Live Oak was built with a simple idea "make beer for people who actually like the taste of beer." In 2015, Live Oak moved to their current location on a beautiful property along the Colorado River, opening a taproom and biergarten. One its unique features...it's off the beaten path of other breweries. Live Oak Brewing is north of the airport and backs to the Fast Park remote airport parking lot. At first glance it looks like it's a convergence of a fire station and deserted manufacturing plant. The grounds are impeccable...tall statuesque trees, lush green vegetation and an extensive outside biergarten. It feels like you are in a nature bubble. Interestingly, Live Oak Brewing has its own on site 18 hole disc golf course (different from traditional golf) located directly on the brewery's property. Live Oak Brewing's interior has the feel of a German Hofbräu...homey, spacious, and welcoming, with long communal tables that encourage conversation and human interaction. You can see directly into the brewing space, with large tanks and equipment. Also, board games are available if you choose to play. Live Oak is family friendly and dog friendly. In fact, Groot, the owner's dog, freely roams through the brewery drinking area. While I only had sips of beer (not a big beer drinker), my friends enjoyed their beers. Live Oak Brewery Company is a super fun place to hang out.
