    Promo for mlk slice day
    Carolyn B.

    THIS IS A TAKEOUT-ONLY PIZZA COUNTER INSIDE A CONVENIENCE STORE. I'm starting with that because I genuinely don't understand why none of the earlier reviews mentioned it, and I'm hoping to help avoid someone else being confused the way we were. Joe's Slice of Sicily describes itself as authentic NYC-style pizza with a crispy thin crust and standout garlic knots. With its near-perfect Yelp rating, I was expecting a lot. Overall, I liked it, and I do think they're doing good stuff, but it's not a five-star spot for me yet. 1) Takeout-only setup: My husband and I were out on a super casual date night, so this wasn't about vibes or ambiance. The issue was that nothing on their Yelp profile or website indicates that this is a takeout-only spot (and as they're still kinda new, there weren't enough Yelp photos to make that obvious). So our plan was to go to a casual pizza place, order a full pie, and hang out and eat it hot and chat. Instead, we walked in and realized there was nowhere to eat on site (not even a ledge, small counter, a few stools, nothing). For a place selling slices, something that's best eaten immediately, that felt like a mismatch. We also live too far away for a full pie to make sense. So we pivoted and ordered one slice just to taste it, shared it while standing awkwardly between the pizza kitchen and the wine racks, and then left to go elsewhere. 2) The pizza: Now the pizza itself. We got a pepperoni slice. The sauce is really good, the cheese ratio is solid, the pepperoni quality is good, and the toppings stay put when you pick it up, which matters. My main issue was the dough. For me, if you're going for NYC-style, it needs that balance of a light crispy bottom with enough elasticity to fold. This one was a little too brittle and/or just cooked too much. It kind of snapped when you bit into it and couldn't really fold it without breaking. It also felt a bit bland. The leftover crust edge, which I usually like to eat, was so dry, very crunchy, and lacking flavor, I threw it out, which I almost never do. It did seem like they might be understaffed, as there was some evident confusion about who was watching cooking times, so it's possible our slice was just overcooked. I'd be willing to try a full fresh pie again when the weather improves and we can take it to a nearby park, or if we're hanging at a friend's place closer to the shop. For now, solid four stars, but not quite the five-star slice the rating suggests.

    The Barton Hills Market looks like a neighborhood convenience store until you walk in the doors and the smell. The smell like my Sicilian Nonna's house coming from the back at Joe's pizza. As you approach, your eyes see the freshly made goodies and a menu that you begin to salivate at and totally forget about anything to do with not eating carbs in that moment. You are greeted by owner and baker Joe who is what you think of when you think of a NYC pizza owner. Nice, pleasant and his mind is running a million miles an hour. I ordered the meat lovers pizza and had him hold the bacon and ham. I could not resist the calzone and the garlic knots. He told me he was a little behind and it would be ready in about 30. No worries! Drove around a little and went back to be handed back my pizza, knots and calzone. Once in the car, I had to take a piece and I have to say, being a NY girl, this brought me home on so many levels. the smell , the taste, the abundance of meat. Joe explained that because I had him hold the ham and bacon, he just sdded more pepperoni and sausage. I usually do not like a pepperoni pizza because I can not stand the burnt edges. This pizza was perfect. The thin crust and the sauce was perfect. Joe even told me how to reheat the pizza when I got home. Had the calzone with family and was able to split into 3 portions. Filled with riccota that was creamy, fresh and had sauce on the side. The garlic knots had just enough garlic and parm to hit the spot. Meal easily fed 5 people and I kept a slice for me for another day. The price point is great and I will definitely go back! Such a cute hidden gem in the Barton Hills neighborhood. It is super close to Zilker for a perfect picnic treat!

    Overall - bland. The slice had a crunchy crust as I like it, but lacked flavor as did the sauce. Crust and sauce make the pizza and I failed to recognize anything distinctive about the pizza and why it gets such rave reviews. So, nless I got a slice from a bad pie, I'd suggest going somewhere else. YMMV.

    Stumbled in here after ACL and so glad I did. The pizza was unreal and the flavors were authentic. We tried two trio slices and two pepperonis. The pesto and red sauce on the trio were out of this world, so fresh and flavorful. The pepperoni was crispy and the crust was perfect. While we waited, they even handed us a warm fried Oreo which was such a nice touch. I can't wait to come back and try the gyros. The nacho and tortellini slices were also calling my name. Highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back post-ACL. Bonus points for offering gluten-free crust!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Robert A.

    Hands down the best breakfast sandwich I've had in Austin. Joe's Slice of Sicily absolutely nailed the brand new breakfast sandwiches The bread was clearly fresh baked--perfectly crusty on the outside but soft and tender on the inside, which already put it on another level. The filling was generous, balanced, and packed with flavor without being greasy or heavy. Absolutely love the Calabrian Chili Aoili!Everything worked together so well that it felt simple but expertly done. You can tell real care goes into the ingredients and execution.

    Excellent people, great pizza and soon they're adding pasta - which they let me try for free when I mentioned I was new to the neighborhood. Very welcoming. Joe was in the back (owner) and Sam worked the front and was super friendly right off the bat. If you're in the area (or maybe leaving Barton Springs) and want something fast, good and easy go to Joe's for pizza by the slice (very reasonably priced) and the pasta exceeded my expectations! Plus it is in Barton Hills Market so you can grab drinks and other items while you're there. Thanks Joe!

    Pizza

    We found Joe's searching for a slice of pizza after a day at Barton Springs. Yes it is inside a convenience store, no there is no place to sit. Didn't matter. Joe was incredibly nice, answered our questions and we ordered two slices made to order. I wondered if a single slice would be enough, and it most definitely was! Great flavor, perfect slice no matter how you fold it. Make sure to get napkins before you leave, you're going to need them! Convenience store was also a little treasure with an outstanding beverage selection to go with our slices. Next time we are in Austin, we will go back to Joe's.

    philly cheese steak and pepperoni slices

    walked in and went to the counter and immediately got treated with hospitality the people there were really nice and helpful and the food smelt and tasted amazing!

    Lasagna pizza

    This place is great. The egg sandwich's are literally the best in Austin. The in house made Kaiser rolls really make a difference! In my opinion it's better than the eggman. Then there's the pizza! This is hands down the best New York style pizza I've had in Texas. The crust has the perfect snap and fold. The sauce to cheese balance is on point. If you're craving the real deal pizza in ATX stop doubting and go here now. Portions are generous service is friendly and it's clearly made with serious care. This is a carry out type place mostly, however the back does a have a few picnic tables to eat outside. A definite must try!

    Very good pizza. Super nice people inside. Id 1000% recommend this spot. Definitely a true NY pizza

They come four to an order, but I wasn't sure I wanted that many. Kat told me I could order just one, which was really nice. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my favorite, a little too doughy for me.

    As an unapologetic East Coast pizza snob, I usually approach Texas pizza with a massive amount of…read moreskepticism. 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.
