The marinara is naturally sweet and flavorful (none of that acid from the jar stuff). Today's special ricotta & flatbread appetizer was so smooth it reminded me of the inside of a flavorful burrata. For dessert--gelato with a refreshing natural flavor & cannoli that retained it's crisp shell for once! Wouldn't be surprised if the mascarpone was made from scratch--it didn't have the typical bitterness that you get from commercially produced mascarpone. AND THEN! The wait staff & bus team were on point clearing our table quickly between courses, very attentive to our water, and when I was given the wrong gelato flavor (though they look similar!) they didn't argue--just got me the correct one. Will definitely be back. (Got to meet the owner too--seemed quite personable & genuinely interested in our experience.) Two feedbacks: lower the music volume a tad & offer ice in the water pitcher/glasses... it's a hot summer LOL

Who knew Bastrop, Texas, would have some of the best pizza and pasta I've had in a long time?…read more I'm in town for a six-week work assignment and decided to try Bastiano's for takeout. All I can say is wow. I ordered the creamy garlic pasta with chicken, spinach, bacon, and onions, along with a supreme pizza, and both were outstanding. The pasta was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without being overly heavy. The chicken was tender, the bacon added the perfect savory bite, and the spinach and onions balanced everything beautifully. Then there was the pizza. This wasn't one of those pizzas where you have to hunt for toppings. Every slice was loaded with pepperoni, ham, sausage, olives, mushrooms, and vegetables. The crust had a great texture, the cheese was perfectly melted, and every bite was packed with flavor. One of the best parts is the value. The portions were generous enough that this takeout order will easily feed me for several days, which makes the quality even more impressive. As someone who wasn't expecting to discover amazing Italian food in Bastrop, Bastiano's was a pleasant surprise. If you're local or just passing through town, do yourself a favor and give them a try. I'll definitely be ordering again before my assignment is over.

TLDR: Good pizza at reasonable prices but the wait time is unreasonably long…read more Pretty solid pizza here. Fully customizable. I built my own white pizza with garlic butter herb sauce, fresh mozz, mushrooms, and Italian sausage. It was pretty tasty. I was STARVING so maybe that amplified the flavor. This brings me to my next point... Pizza takes FOREVER. I clocked it and it was a full hour from the moment we ordered. This was particularly unpleasant because I was waiting in the car with my two bored and hungry toddlers. If you have kids, you get it. Not ideal. By the way, we tried to call ahead and no one picked up the phone (we tried a couple times). I should also add that the prices are very reasonable here. The kids menu pizzas are very cheap and more than enough food to fill them up.

Small cute little place off the beaten path. Came for a late dinner and the server was very nice!…read moreWe ordered the bread with dipping oil to start but the bread was a bit underdone and we didn't end up eating all of it. We did let the waitress know and she was very apologetic. I ordered a frozen sangria and it had a very strong smell of apple cider vinegar. It was a strange combination and I did not finish it. As for the food it was good. Not great and not terrible. We needed to salt most of it and the oil dipping for the bread had way too much oil. The pasta Collin's noodles seemed dried out and possibly microwaved with not much seasoning. We would come back and give it another try possibly for the pizza. Just a heads up. The prices on the menu are "cash prices", if you pay with credit card like most you need to add about $5 to your bill.

Even if you wanted to amp up the evening they have wines available by the bottle in the coolers. When you first walk in. They have bar like table tops if you wanted to eat in. The pizza I had was great! Nice touch of the Calabrian chiles infused into the honey, and nickel sized pepperoni perfectly rounded with its release of the pork fat essence we all love on a pizza. I highly suggest this place.

Walked into DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana and immediately realized the interior is... petite. Cute,…read morebut petite. Seating is limited enough that you start mentally drafting backup plans the moment you step inside. We ordered the lasagna pizza, which tasted good but was noticeably undercooked -- soft enough that it felt like it needed another round in the oven. And the "lasagna" angle? I'm still trying to decode it. Everything listed as the lasagna components were things a normal pizza already has, so the theme didn't quite land. Overall: good flavor, but execution missed the mark for us. Pro tip: order it to go so you're not stuck awkwardly hovering for a table.

Loop & Lil's offers great vibes and delicious pizza all around!…read more I was looking for a quick bite to eat after a little hike with my family. We decided to check out Loop & Lil's in downtown Lockhart. It was a Monday afternoon and it was pretty quiet inside. There were a bunch of people at the bar, with tons of open seating in the dining area. We ordered a beer and a cocktail. My gin cocktail was so refreshing and delicious! We ordered a small Greek salad and the Out of Towner pizza with no meat, sub mushrooms. Salad was great, everything tasted fresh and their croutons were so good and herby! As for the pizza, amazing! 10/10. It was so good I forgot to take a picture haha. The dough was light and fluffy, it had great leoparding on the bottom. They pesto was good and all of it together was wonderful! I also enjoyed their ranch too, had a dill flavor to it. Service was alright, but their food is the real superstar! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for quality food!

This was so good, I'm not really a pizza person and honestly only came because of the great reviews. Well, I was wrong, this is the best pizza I've ever had I'm usually keto, so I normally don't eat the crust edge. But this time, I actually ate the crust first before getting to the toppings. It's thin, crunchy, and has such a great texture and flavor. I finished the slice right away and forgot to take a picture. I also ordered the Garlic Knots. 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. And then there was the Tiramisu. Wow! It's so good, not overly sweet like other tiramisu and the texture is light, fluffy, and smooth. They were busy during my visit, but the service was still great. Kat was friendly and made my first visit a really enjoyable one. Definitely coming back if I visit Austin again

Home Slice on South Congress is a South Austin institution that helped put this neighborhood's food…read morescene on the map back in 2005. It spans two spaces right next door to each other, the main full-service sit-down restaurant and "More Home Slice," their grab-and-go slice window, and we checked out both. The vibe is buzzing and energetic. They have great outdoor seating that is packed with people. As for the pizza itself, it was pretty good! It has a distinct New York style flare with a crisp, foldable crust. If you are looking for top-tier NY-style pizza, outdoor patio energy, and a South Congress experience, Home Slice is definitely worth stopping by.

The menu consists of more than just pizza, in fact many people near us had salads for their main course. We chose a gluten free crust pizza with meats (ham, pepperoni & sausage). The pizza toppings were tasty but, the crust was just ok (too thin to pick up and too tough to cut with our plastic knives. The soda selection is quite limited (Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, a pink lemonade and unknown sodas. The situation wasn't helped by the fact that the machine's ice dispenser was broken on a hot evening. We chose to sit outside to enjoy our meal at one of the super long picnic tables. Each probably sits 12+ patrons comfortably. Great area for kids to run around nearby so as you would assume, lots of young families. It seems to be a great meeting place for families & groups. The biggest downside to our dining experience was the outside trash can. Patrons cleaned up after themselves & the trash can was overflowing. I chose to go inside to throw our trash away and to inform staff of the trash situation. (No need having all that trash near your tables & front door) The staff informed me "we don't touch that. That's the City of Kyle's responsibility. They pick up on Saturday nights." Unfortunate that my visit was 6pm on a Saturday night. I can only imagine how messy the entire area will be by 9pm. I hope that the owners and management can figure out a way to handle this issue since the majority of the trash I saw inside & outside of the trash can was from their patrons.

My family and I decided to go get some pizza for dinner and stopped at Aviator Pizza. We parked and…read morewalked in. I noticed that they have seating inside and outside. We walked in looked at the menu on the counter and then placed our order and paid. We were given a number and then went to find seating. After sitting we waited for a while as they started making our pizzas. We ordered two orders of Mozzarella Facaccia Sticks to share. One order with cheese and one without cheese. They were both warm and soft. I preferred the sticks with cheese. One of my adult sons got a Classic Pepperoni Pizza and he enjoyed it. My other son got the Bacon Double Cheeseburger Pizza and he also enjoyed it. My husband ordered the BBQ Grilled Chicken Pizza. I tried it and it was tasty. The pieces of chicken were large and I liked the BBQ sauce flavor. It had a sweetness to it. I ordered a Ground Control Pizza which had pepperoni, sausage, red onion, green peppers, mushrooms, ham, black olives, and ground beef. I ordered my pizza without the ground beef. My pizza was tasty. It had different flavors and textures. The pepperoni, ham and sausage meats were good. The crust was doughy which I liked. It was a good pizza. Lastly we shared a Cinnamon Dessert. Which is a cinnamon bread with icing. It was delicious. The bread was warm and doughy and you could taste the cinnamon. The icing added that extra sweet element to it. It was so good. The perfect ending to our meal. Overall Aviator Pizza had a good selection of food. The counter service where you order was easy and fast for us. The delivery of the food to our table was pleasant and the pizza was good.

The classic Hoe down and the seasonal Jerk Chicken were so darn good, and hefty portions so I'm looking forward to eating these again since I have leftovers! Service was swift, friendly and on point for a busy Saturday afternoon and plenty of parking too!

The set up is like a dining hall with long communal tables and a free smaller for seater tables on the boarders as well as outside patio seating. A bit too toasty outside for that.

I got the pizza lunch special which included a side salad, personal pizza and's drink all for $17.95! Talk about a deal! Cesar side salad was simple and's could have used a bit more cheese....and the pizza was good. Only downside was the pepperoni left a lot of grease which made the crust a bit soft. Not sure how to fix that but the crust that wasn't soft was delicious. So having a crisp crust would make it better. They take care of dishes once finished and the restroom was clean. Overall good experience and I'd be back for sure.
