    Making the pizza right in front of you, which I thought was really cool! :)
    Sujey L.

    Went in on a Wednesday at 7PM, we were able to get a table for two right away. There is seating indoor and outdoor but the outdoor seating isn't full service I was told only snacks are served outside. We ordered the Vodka all'arrabbiata pizza with pepperoni, the mixed greens, and the olive oil cake all were really good and the limited addition blanc crush white wine it was refreshing! Parking was very limited at the restaurant but there is neighborhood parking. Great service, very welcoming, kind and gave great recommendations on the wine!

    There is a reason Bufalina is ranked #7 on Infatuations "Top 25: The Best Restaurants in Austin" Every dish I've tried there is delicious, namely the Caesar salad, the orecchiette pasta, multiple pizzas, and the ice cream coffee. I'd give all of them 5 stars. Small spot but vibe is lively, services is great and food is even better. Most recently I went on a Friday around 6:30 and got sat immediately (party of 2), but the other times we've gone and have had to wait it hasn't been terrible. They offer the option to get a drink while you wait there or you can grab on at lovebirds close by.

    Vodka arrabiatta pizza with sausage
    Sam K.

    A couple friends and I visited Bufalina this week to wrap up a long work week. We decided on the Vodka Arrabiatta pizza w/sausage pizza, Caesar salad (huge), and the pappardelle w/ragu pasta. The salad was very large and we were not able to finish it between the 3 of us. The pizza wasn't my favorite and had a slight bitterness to it so I drizzled it in a bit of honey which helped balance the flavors out a bit. The pasta tasted homemade but the sauce was a bit too acidic for my liking. It took about 20-30 minutes to ultimately get our table (no reservations for our size group), and the overall ambiance was lively and homey. Our server wasn't the most engaging but did check up on us to fill water glasses periodically. It didn't take very long to get our meals which was also a plus. Parking in front of the restaurant was kind of limited around dinner time on a Friday, but I was able to find options in the adjacent neighborhood. While I didn't pay for the meal, my friend who did commented that there were added fees pre-tipping that surprised her (wellness fee? and a patio fee despite us deciding against sitting outside and moving back in). These added a significant amount to the final bill. Overall, Bufalina may be a good choice if you love the pizza, pasta, salad intersection and enjoy eating family style. Unfortunately none of the items we got were super tasty or the best I've had. Food: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Quality: 3/5

    Waiting for Friday Happy Hour !
    Lena R.

    Went for Friday Happy Hour and were told by friends to get there early before they open at 4pm. Glad we did! We were there at 3:15pm and although we were second in line, by 3:40pm the line was super long. Small place and once seated we were told we would have an hour and a half before we had to give up the table. I understand if you are just lingering, but if you are ordering food (which we did throughout the meal,) it felt like we were being rushed before we even looked at the menu. We had the mushroom pizza and the tomato pie. Loved the thin, NY style crust. The pizzas were very good. The stracciatella was perfect. The happy hour prices are great. We did splurge on the Caesar salad and although it was huge, it was an over sized salad at a price point of $18 ish. It was ok, it wasn't anything over the top but, we did have some to bring home. We split the cheesecake with friends and it also was good but, probably wouldn't get again. It was our first time there so we wanted to try things. Happy hour beer prices are good with the great selection. The staff was pleasant and on the ball. One thing is because it is small, it gets super loud. If you are looking for an intimate date night, I would say this isn't the place for a quiet dinner. But, if you are looking for value, good food and drink, stick to the happy hour menu and it is worth it.

    Bufalina Due has the best happy hour in Austin! Half off select bottles of wine and pizza, come here w a group and really get a bang for your buck! We ordered the house red and it was $2 off a glass. I enjoyed it, even as someone who prefers white. I highly recommend ordering both a pizza and pasta so you can have the best of both worlds. Everything is flavorful and cooked perfectly. Come here early! Limited parking and lines start up about 3:30-3:45, for the 4pm happy hour! Our server was excellent. The ambiance is busy and bustling. If you have a hard time hearing, this might not be the best place to catch up, music is loud and everything is concrete so a lot of noise bounces off.

    I brought my girlfriend here for our anniversary, and now we're regulars. The pasta and pizza are both incredible. Honestly, this is probably the best pasta I've had in my eight years in the States. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and down to earth. We especially appreciate Weily. He's engaging, knowledgeable, and always makes the experience memorable. You truly can't go wrong with anything here. Five stars.

    Clam Pizza & Pepperoni Pizza
    Daniel S.

    Bufalina has one of the best happy hour and pizza combos in town! They don't take reservations, so I'd recommend arriving early if you want to avoid a long wait. That's what my group did and we were the third table seated right when they opened. From the very first slice the pizza was absolutely worth it. We were there for a special event with Austin Oyster Co., so naturally we ordered oysters and the clam pie. The clam pie was excellent, perfectly salty without being overpowering. We also got the pepperoni pizza, always a classic and even better since the pies are half-off during happy hour. Our bottle of white wine which was also half-off and paired perfectly with the food. They also offer wine by the glass, beer & non-alcoholic options so there's something for everyone. If you're on the east side and hungry, make Bufalina your next meal out you won't regret it!

    Margherita with sausage added simply
    Andrea H.

    I'll start with the good. Best neopolitan pizzas in Austin. I am normally a red sauce pizza gal but I took the waitress' recommendation and ordered the lemon prosciutto pizza called Fresca and it was DELICIOUS. As good as pizzas I've had in Italy. The mozzarella, parm and perfectly chewy dough all came together harmoniously with the fresh zing of the lemon oil and arugula. Also got the Margherita with sausage added simply for more protein but next time I would not add sausage as it overpowered the pizza. It was still good though and I could taste the good quality of the ingredients. The ceasar salad is a must get. Perfectly dressed and huge in portion which I loved because I could eat it with my pizza as well as nibble on it as a starter. Food overall was a 5/5 Ambiance however was a 3/5 bc it was SO LOUD inside. The space is cozy and lively but they could really use some kind of improvement in the sound acoustics. It was also slightly warm inside, probably because the pizza oven is heating up the place. The service was also meh--the waitresses all seem like they're in a hurry and look like they do not want to be there.

    Bread & butter
    Lauren W.

    Might be the best happy hour deal that I've gone to. Half off bottles of wine and pizza. It's a cute intimate space and was pretty full when we got there around 5pm on a Monday. We ordered a bottle of chenin blanc with the help of our server, bread & butter, red pie (add pepperoni), and the mushroom pizza. Everything was done well and had enough food for 2 days of leftovers! Will definitely return for the happy hour.

    mushroom
    Rachel B.

    I'm between 3-4 stars for this place because I loved the pizza but the service was not 4 stars. We loved the mushroom pizza. It was the absolute perfect blend of toppings in my opinion. They serve a Neapolitan-style pizza --perfectly blistered crust, high-quality ingredients, and a menu that knows how to keep things simple and stellar. But the service? It borders on indifferent, and was timed not for our convenience but theirs. I was still chewing my last bite when they cleared the plates and they wiped the table while I was still eating though my partner had finished. You'll get your food, but don't expect warmth or much patience with questions. Still, the pizza is solidly delicious. Come for the pie, not the hospitality.

    Rachel T.

    This is the best pizza I've had in Austin so far! Loved the margherita pizza! My friend and I visited for happy hour on a weekday and the pizza and wine was half off. We shared a margherita pizza and it had the perfect crunch from the woodfired pizza oven. My favorite type of pizza! We tried a bottle of red wine that was slightly chilled, and I really loved it! Especially on a hot Austin day. Service was great although they do try to move you along so the next group can take your table since it's always so busy. We got there right at 4 and there was no wait on a weekday. I was greeted right at the door and the host was so nice and welcoming. I can't wait to go back for full dinner and to try that caesar salad stacked with cheese! 5 stars! They also have a few parking spots right outside.

    Margherita pizza with pepperoni
    Cayley V.

    Best pizza in Austin including happy hour prices ?! It can't be beat. Service is fantastic as always and it's always lovely and lively inside! Strongly recommend

    Sabrina B.

    Good and bad here. Went here on a Friday night. The wait was about 1.5 hours for 5 people. We were reassured that they were closing out the party but unfortunately they decided to baby their wine for 45 minutes after they closed their bill so I can't be mad at the establishment, but it's annoying. Our waitress had some pretty bad vibes considering I was pretty happy to be sat after some patron that watched us wait the entire time gave us $40 for drinks (thanks man, you're awesome even though my nephew with me wasn't of age yet). Their wine list was a good selection too. But if it weren't for the fact that all 5 of us felt bad vibes from her, I would've dismissed it. I'd say skip the pasta and pick the pizza here. My prosciutto and arugula pizza was good and had a great cheese pull. Red pie with pepperoni was pretty good, I think the pepperonis themself were actually really great! But somehow the best part was the Caesar salad with a side of anchovies. That is a MUST. But I'm not someone that hopes to go to a pizza place for their salad to be the best part. Their bread and butter was pretty lackluster. Am I itching to come here again? Nah. But I at least had a great salad.

It makes the whole experience feel a little more fun. The wine bar inside is another highlight, with a great selection that pairs perfectly with the pizza.

We didn't try too much because we were actually surprised it was open. Many friends mentioned the desserts were to die for. Even Guy on DDD mentioned the caramel rolls were what cinnamon rolls wish they could be. He also LOVED the pastrami sandwiches. So I'd i could do a 1-10 scale I'd give it a 9 for the extra work we had to put in to align with their limited open hours and for the soggy crust. But highest marks on the rest.

I've spent my life chasing the perfect crust, comparing everything from the legendary pie shops in Manhattan to the pristine corner slices in Pittsburgh. I didn't think Austin could pull off truly authentic pizza. I was dead wrong. Baldinucci is absolute sorcery. The moment I took a bite of their Roman-style pizza, I was instantly thrown back to the tiny, narrow pizzerias I stumbled into in Italy. It has that exact, hyper-specific airy crunch that is so incredibly hard to replicate outside of Europe. The dough is clearly fermented with patience. It's light, shatteringly crisp on the bottom, and has those beautiful, irregular air pockets that give it a pillowy structure without ever feeling heavy. Let's talk about the sauce, because that's where most places fail. It isn't that sugary, paste-heavy stuff you find at standard joints. It is vibrant, bright, and tastes intensely of sun-ripened tomatoes and clean olive oil. It is remarkably fresco; striking that perfect balance where the acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese without overwhelming the palate. The vibe inside the West Lake spot is casual and unpretentious, but they take their craft seriously. Food service is streamlined and efficient; you order at the counter, and they pop the slices back into the oven so they land at your table screaming hot. The staff is genuinely proud of what they're slinging, and they should be. If you are an East Coast transplant drowning in a sea of mediocre pies, do yourself a favor and get over to West Lake. It's the real deal. PS: The gelato flavors are also sorcery. However, a review of their gelato is for another time. I must continue to savor the pie for now.

They also serve calzones, New York-style pizza, gelato and wine, so there's truly something for everyone.

I will say this definitely isn't cheap pizza, but you're absolutely paying for quality ingredients and incredible flavor. I ended up taking mine to go, but they do have a few tables inside and outside if you want to dine in.
