Though alarmingly quiet for prime lunchtime, Grata's is still pulling out the hits with a few solid vegan-friendly options. The Game Changer cheesesteak is clearly the centerpiece of the menu, combining Beyond Meat with vegan cheese in a monstrous, meaty sandwich. I have to say that the addition of ketchup was a bit odd, and could have been better either substituted with marinara or omitted, but I still polished off my half of this beast all the same. The mushroom pizza pockets were faultless, if you're in more of a snacking mood. Just ask to swap the ricotta with vegan cheese and you'll be treated to umami shrooms sauteed with a touch of balsamic, wrapped in golden dough, and generously portioned at that. Happy hour is clearly the time to visit, with all pizzas clocking in at $10, and select drinks at $5. I'll have to time out my next visit better to take advantage. read more

I have not eaten here since 2021 when it was still at the gas station. I moved out of Austin because I wanted to buy property and Austin is unaffordable. It's now located in the old Gordough's location. Not surprised they closed down, honestly. Maybe ignoring their customers wasn't the best way to stay in business. See my review for them. This is also the old south Austin Good Eats location. Remember them? The best chicken fried steak. Anyway, their pizza is still pretty good. I do have a couple of minor complaints. The pizza is rolled out so thin, that it does not support the weight of the toppings. If you get a red sauce, you're going to have a soggy crust when you finally get the pizza home. Still nice and chewy, so that's good. I also bought some pizza rolls. I didn't realize that the Americana had Italian sausage in them because I did not read the description closely enough. BTW, the Americana contains Italian sausage? Think about that for a minute. They were nice and spicy. The side of red sauce wasn't enough. Also, it's gotten really expensive. $20 for the pizza. Another nine dollars for the pizza rolls, and since I ordered online I got charged a $2.50 convenience fee. That's not on the restaurant; I understand. I just wish that the platform had told me I was being charged a convenience fee. I would have placed a phone order otherwise. BTW, if you order online through yelp, you get charged $19 and change for the pizza. If you order through DoorDash, it's $20.80. I also had problems getting to their website. That made viewing the menu difficult. I would eat here again, probably. But like I said I don't live in Austin so it's unlikely. read more

The pizza- WOW! One of the best pizzas I've had in a long long time. Would highly recommend. If you are looking to catch a Birds game, you came to the right place. But did I mention the pizza? WOW! Oh the arugula salad- chef kiss. Will be back! read more

Grata’s Pizzeria - PEPPERONI PIZZA and SWEET HEAT PIZZA - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Being from the East coast and always looking for a good pizza, I decided to try this place. I ordered a pizza with pepperoni, sausage and meatballs. I thought it would be loaded with meat but was very disappointed. Why be stingy with the toppings when someone is paying $23 for a pizza? The crust took up 1/3 of the pie where there could have been more pizza and toppings. I also ordered a large cheese steak. It was pretty good. Close to what I had growing up in Philadelphia. I had it simple with provalone, mushrooms and no onions. Would have gotten more toppings on a DiGiorno pizza for $5.99. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday. The staff was amazing and even flipped a hi ch chair over so our 4 month baby could sit at the table with us. I was surprised how good the food was. We tried the cheese steaks, pizza and calzone. The Philly French dip with provolone was my favorite. The original calzone was tasty and the pizza had a great flavor but I'm more of a Ny style fan and this pizza was a little soggy in the middle. I'll definitely be back for the Philly cheesesteaks! read more

Came here for the first time the other day. It's definitely very relaxed sports bar vibe and not many servers at all, however really appreciated ours as she was juggling a lot of tables and trying to move as fast as she could. We ordered the original calzone (great dough to filling ratio). Ordered the Caesar salad - do not recommend. Super basic and plain. Ordered the Roma pizza - unfortunately ours was so soggy we could barely lift the slice but the taste was great! read more

Got the sweet and spicy pizza and the Philly special! Both were really good. I don't usually like eating crusts but I like how this pizza crust was soft, so I was able to finish. Philly cheesesteak is also oozing with cheese! Love that. Parking is available for customers! They have a small lot. Can order from a server or the QR code on the table. read more

I was looking for a new Philly Cheesesteak place and I found it. We were immediately greeted upon entering the restaurant. Brandon went over the menu with us and got us really excited to try the food. We were not disappointed we both got the Philly Special and I added sweet peppers. I had the tea which was really good I love a strong black tea I only wish it came in a bigger glass I kept needing refills. The restrooms were really clean and this was at dinner time around 7pm. Over all we loved it and can't wait to go back. read more

I get it. Austin is getting expensive and is expensive. The food tasted ok. Nothing spectacular but decent. What is most concerning is the portion sizes vs cost. For the price, this was a total rip-off and we will not be coming back. Much better options locally for the price. read more

I was part of a large group and we received excellent service and yummy food. The Bianca is no longer on the menu but they were happy to prepare one for me. It exceeded my expectations.

Don't order 3 garlic knots. You must order 6 bc the 3 is not enough. Pizza rolls are the perfect size if you're the only one eating pizza. They do have gluten free crusts and dairy free cheese for the pizza but no gluten free buns for the sandwich's read more

They have picnic tables outside with some nice trees for shade or indoor seating. We ordered a couple of pizzas, and the balsamic mushroom pockets. We really enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Ranch pizza (it had the right amount of 'heat') and thought the Sweet Heat pizza was good, but probably wouldn't order it again. Luckily, there are plenty more varieties for us to try the next time. Service was a little slow and our server admitted that part of our order hadn't been seen for some reason, but she was nice about trying to resolve it and luckily we weren't on a time crunch. I wouldn't recommend ordering the fresh lemonade though, because it tastes just like a premix and was disappointing to me. read more

Stopped in here during SXSW when I was driving by and saw some live music outdoors in their front. The inside was a little in need of a little upkeep. For example, none of the regular low top tables that were available were even and there were heaps of parmesan packets on the floor from people trying to even out the tables. Given this, I was surprised by how fresh and tasty the salad and pizza were. I would come back for sure if I wanted to grab a couple beers and a pizza! read more

Great food, amazing value and very friendly staff! We did not expect to like it that much. We went on a weekday dinner with two kids and they both ate super well.

Such a steal. read more

It's been some time since I found a decent cheesesteak in Austin. I was recommended to try Gratas. I drove up and parked with signs for PHILLY fans only. Ok now we are talking. I ordered my usual pizza steak with onions and hot peppers, sauce on top. Gratas is serious about their sandwiches by bringing in meat and bread dough from Philly. The steak was decent but not epic. I had two major issues. The bread is too soft. There is no crust to the bread and that chewy bread is a must for a great steak sandwich. Number two is Gratas mixes their add ons into the steak. A great sandwich has the meat and cheese mixed or melted as the base. The onions, peppers, sauce and anything else is an add to the top item. Never mixed in. My sandwich was a mix of everything. It killed the base taste of meat and cheese we Philadelphians enjoy. I hope they trial this method. I think it would improve the sandwich. I will return as the people were extremely nice, passionate, and I did not get to try the pizza. Until next time! read more

This was a last minute alternate plan as the Mexican restaurant across the street was closed, but this turned out to be an EXCELLENT diversion ~ We sat at the bar~ but the donor table seating this nite they were hosting a comedy event so that area was roped off. This is a kinda small bar/restaurant with dang good food like Philly Cheesesteaks with the rolls imported from its namesake. My husband had the traditional sandwich wit (iykyk) for dinner and there was nothing left he did comment about how tasty it was especially the peppers were a nice touch~ I ordered a Ranch Chicken pizza after one of the owners, Brandon (I could be wrong here) chatted with us about the dough the make in-house, how long they allow it ferment (we used town own a wood fire pizza oven so we know the dough making process) it did not disappoint. Nice chew on the crust and terrific prepared chicken ~ Friendly place, good drinks, couple TV's for sports and BTW, this is a PHILADELPHIA EAGLES SPORTS BAR~ so if your an Eagles fan this should be your Sunday hang out read more

The Margherita pie at Grata's Pizzeria lands at a 6.8 for me. While the crust had a nice crisp and chew, the overall execution was lacking. The pie needed more mozzarella--there just wasn't enough to create that rich, creamy texture that makes a great Margherita stand out. On top of that, the basil was a letdown. It didn't seem fresh and was cooked into the pizza instead of being added after, which took away from that vibrant, herbaceous note you typically expect. The sauce was fresh but could use a bit more seasoning to round it out. There's potential here, but it missed the mark this time. read more

Very solid pizza and beer on tap but also very mediocre in all the best ways. This is where you come for the company and stay for the food coma. The menu offers some great options for all classic pizzas, from red sauce to white sauce to green pesto. All of which are on what appears to be Neapolitan crusts, with great charred air pockets. Just the right amount. The Roma had the most flavor of the 3 pizzas I tried. Probably a vegetarian's favorite pizza but I do wish there was more red sauce. The Bianca pizza was nice and mellow, but missing just a little something as it tastes very white. Not necessarily bland but some more garlic or truffle would've been nice. Perhaps exactly what's missing is the truffles. And no red sauce for dipping. I was a little sorely disappointed to munch on dry bready crusts. Nevertheless a great experience with the best permed hair you've ever been waited on. read more

Don't get the garlic knots... served cold, definitely not baked fresh. The garlic "confit" was more of a paste, similar to tahini. The pizza was decent--charred crust, bright tomato sauce, mozzarella had a nice chew--but the menu touts a $16.50 pizza as enough for two and it's definitely on the smaller side. read more

This place had been popping up on our social media feeds for a while, so we decided to give it a try for our Friday night pizza excursion. Sidenote - we have been twice so this review will capture both experiences. The first time we walked in, the bar staff and wait staff gave a hearty hello and gave us our choice of table and walked us through their menu. Even though Friday is pizza night, they almost convinced me to get a cheese steak! The drink prices for happy hour are solid and the pizza selection was great. We had the Sweet and Spicy pizza (red sauce, pepperoni, capicola, garlic confit, mazzarella, sweet bacon marmalade, and hot pepper relish), which was really tasty. You could taste every ingredient there and the dough was cooked to perfection for the most part. I am sure it was the weight of the toppings, but it was a little flimsy in the center. The Caprese Salad was pretty standard but fresh. Our second time around, we ordered the Galina Caprese (basil pesto base, roasted tomatoes, mozzarella, chicken, garlic confit, and parigiano reggiano) and it was super tasty! Their pesto base was definitely on point and the chicken was super flavorful. If anything, I might recommend smaller cuts of the chicken to help with the weight/balance. All in all, the pizzas had amazing flavor and the service was really good...until the end. I don't know what happened, but each time, there came a point where the waiter just forgot about us. The first time, our waiter handed us off to a trainee who almost dropped all of the cleared plates on us after we asked for water multiple times. And we had to ask for the check. The second time, we had been sitting there trying to flag our guy down because we would have ordered more drinks or even dessert. He was at every table but ours. Eventually, I went up to the bar to get our check and we left. We will go back but they seriously have to learn how to maintain service throughout the meal and to remember to bring the check. read more

Came here with a buddy after struggling to find a bar spot at the typical spot, and we were not disappointed! The bartender and part owner of this cool dive bar, Brandon, was awesome and walked us through the menu, sharing that they fly their hoagie dough in from Jersey. I ended up trying a meatball pizza which was phenomenal nepoli style and the jumbo cheesesteak. I've never had ketchup on a cheesesteak before but it was honestly not bad. They have great drink and beer choices and lots of TVs for any of your Philly sports teams. Will definitely be back!! read more

The food was incredible, love the ambience of being such a Philly bar cause I happened to be in out of town (aka Philly!). Went for the Birds game on Sunday, then Phils game tonight (I guess going there is bad luck). Had Lorenzo tonight, even with his twisted ankle, and again everything was great. However, the female bartender working was so rude. To me, to every female - if I went there without the other wonderful experiences, I would not have a good impression.

Stopped by Grata's Pizzeria last Tuesday and was surprised how good the pizza was. This place has a Phily vibe, but I didn't mind it one bit. I ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza and my wife had the canzone. We had a few beers with our meal before departing happily fed. The pricing was fair and the service was good. We went in around 430 so we beat the rush. Will definitely come again. read more

Semi-retired Chef is a 5am weekend baker at Sprouts here in the neighborhood. Had intended on making myself a beautiful chicken tetrazzini this afternoon and forgot the mushrooms ‍ So I chose to try this spot just a block from where I live. The menu was tantalizing and drew me in to order: Americana Bites w/red sauce, a Philly French Dip and an order of Lemon Riccotta Cannoli.... Oh No!! Please check out the pics. The char on the bites was ALL I could smell and taste. I looked at it and said "nah" yet freaking bit in anyway. Oily in a BAD way and like biting into a soft charcoal briquette. YUCK!! French dip was DRY as F*** and the palest au jus (I've ever seen!!)reeked of chicken broth, weak and bland. I smelled the mini cannoli which indicated burnt citrus. Soggy pistachio ends, one bite and I literally spit it 'cuz it was overpowered with lemon pith. A rather spendy mistake. My favorite food group is pizza, and maybe I should have tried that??‍ Grat'a, Philly is rather disappointed with You read more

This is place is just okay. DO NOT recommend ordering them from uber eats or door dash EVER. They've gotten my delivery order wrong every time and they don't refund it. In person the atmosphere in there is like a dive bar, dark, sticky tables, etc. To their credit have some decent sandwiches and a good selection of pizzas but it's not the best in Austin. They're big Philadelphia Eagles fans so if that's your team you'll feel at home there. They also often have a hockey game on and they have a decent outdoor patio space that's dog friendly. read more

I'd like to give this place more stars because bottom line-- their Neapolitan style pizza is pretty darn good (albeit one was a tad soggy/under cooked) HOWEVER, the dinning in experience leaves a bit to be desired. 1.The Philadelphia Eagles thing even non game days is just over the top obnoxious (which is par for the course for Philly fans I guess) 2. The servers are all fairly clueless about the menu. When I asked if they had a beer list they said no, and just pointed to the Taps across the room and said 'that's what we got". My wife asked what wines they had they replied "Red and white". When we asked if they had a list we could see they said "nope, not yet". I get this shit attitude if this is some sort of shtick or something, if you're trying to be cute ... but my guys, you ain't Mac, Charlie, Dennis and D'-- fuck off back to Kensington if this is how you want to be. That said, I'd still might give their hogies a shot... just sure as shit NOT IN the restaurant! read more

My friend and I stopped in at Grata's on a Monday evening. It wasn't busy and we were immediately greeted and seated. Diego was the gentleman who brought us menus and he provided us with information about sourcing of their ingredients and which items were the most popular. My friend is familiar with Grata's pizza from their last location, so I knew that we were in for something delicious. We shared the Hawaiian and an order of garlic knots. I am from the Northeast so I am absolutely picky and about what people down here call 'good' pizza. THIS is GREAT pizza. If you have not had it, you need to. Sorry there wasn't a picture with this review. We inhaled it. Additionally, Taylor Swift's boyfriend was playing football on TV at the time, but the volume was not obnoxiously loud, and I was easily able to have a conversation with my friend, which I very much appreciated. Plenty of TVs to watch games on, if you're into that kind of thing. Service was wonderful. We loved everything about it. We will definitely be back. read more

The night we checked this place out it was so chill & quiet which was lovely! The staff was so welcoming & they were great about explaining the menu in regards to what was currently available or sold out. You can order straight from your phone which makes it super convenient, you can order on your time vs being pressured by someone. One of the beers I ordered had just sold out so the bartender came to our table & recommended something similar for me which was great! The food took a bit to come out but it was worth the wait for sure. The meatballs were fantastic but I would say there was TOO much bread that accompanied them. Pizza pockets were absolutely DIVINE! The flavors on the pizza worked wonderfully together which makes me excited to try others next time! Would recommend this place for a casual date night or a catch up session with a friend. read more

My recent delivery order from Pizzeria Grata, through Doordash, left much to be desired, and it's possible that this experience might differ from dining in at the restaurant. Firstly, the pizza I received seemed to be lacking in ingredients, and to make matters worse, it was overcooked, resulting in a burnt appearance. This unfortunate combination of too much dough left bare and too few toppings made for a disappointing meal. It's essential to remember that delivery experiences can vary, and this might not necessarily reflect the quality of Pizzeria Grata's in-house dining. However, for those considering delivery, it might be wise to manage your expectations. Maybe the business doesn't like doordash? read more

Amazingly bad. Terrible terrible service. Bar tender kept complaining "it's ACL weekend" but the place was empty. There was no big rush from the festival. It was totally dead in there. Dead. Yet our order took forever. And we didn't get a an acknowledgment until we FINALLY got our food.. Something as simple as a "sorry for the wait" could have happened any time during our one hour plus wait. But nothing until we finally got our food. And again the place was empty. At the end the one guy who seemed to be working hard said he was giving us 50% off.,that's something but by that point it was really too late. Bottom line - don't go to this place. Do not. It's incredibly awful. So many better options. Go elsewhere. Really wish I could give zero stars. Awful. read more
