Roppolo's, you saved my life yesterday. With an open bar for the WAKA dodgeball league's end-of-season party at HandleBar, my wife and I did Cinco De Mayo right. We were lit up like a couple of Christmas trees. Finding food became the most important thing that EVER WAS. Alicia doesn't drink much, but she's a connoisseur of places known for serving drunk people. She had her mind set on this place, and we waded and waddled past countless booths hawking popcorn, things-on-sticks, and other fair food at the shady-ass garbagefest called Pecan Street Festival. We got a giant slice apiece. We stood in silence as we got it in us as quickly as we could. Hot, greasy, cheesy, not too much sauce, and the most wonderful chewy dough you can imagine. I found beauty and truth there, yea verily. Based on the photos, I was at "Rosalie Roppolos," and not this place which is apparently also on Sixth Street: http://www.yelp.com/biz/roppolos-pizzeria-austin. The reviews for THAT place aren't great, and many writers commented that it was good "drunk food." Yes, sir. Yes, it is. It's the best damn drunk food I've ever had. read more

I'm honestly baffled by how different my two experiences were today. ​ I stopped by around 8 or 9 and grabbed a single slice that was actually great. Based on that, I hyped this place up to my friends and brought them back after we left petes piano bar to share a full pie. Big mistake. ​The full pizza we received was a disaster. Every time someone picked up a slice, the entire layer of cheese and toppings just slid right off into a heap. For the price of a full specialty pie, you expect some level of quality control. It felt rushed and completely lacked the care of the slice I had earlier. ​ The only reason I'm not giving a lower rating is that the service was actually great. The staff was friendly and welcoming both times I came in, and the wait time was only about 15 minutes, which is impressive for a full pie. It's just a shame the kitchen couldn't match the energy of the front of house. ​ It was pretty embarrassing to talk this place up only to serve my friends burnt, messy cardboard. If you go, stick to the display slices, because they clearly can't handle a full order. read more

Leaving the lodge nightclub, I decided to try the pizza across the street everyone told me about. Maybe If your drunk it's better otherwise Save your money. Between the service and the pizza, there are way better options in town. Food - The pizza was cold. Not "lukewarm," but actually cold, as if it had been sitting on a counter for twenty minutes before anyone bothered to bring it out. Service - Only one worker and the guy clearly didn't want to be there. He was visibly bored, leaning against the counter scrolling on his phone while we waited to be acknowledged. straight-up rude, acting like taking my order was a massive inconvenience. Ambiance - The moment you walk in, the "vibe" is just depressing. The lobby is completely beat up--scuffed walls, and furniture that looks like it was rescued from a curb in the 90s. The whole place feels neglected and honestly a bit grimy read more

NYC style slices that are baked in advance and reheated when you order them, located right outside of the Comedy Mothership and open late if you're hungry after a show. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Prices are definitely a bit on the higher side, even considering the downtown location. The slices are OK in taste/flavor, but some of them have definitely been left out for an unknown amount of time. There is a secret seating area if you keep walking through the store - the patio is much calmer and quieter, giving you and your group space to sit down and enjoy your slice. Pepperoni/mushroom and sausage are decent picks. read more

I'm not sure how you manage to serve a pizza that is simultaneously charred to a crisp on the bottom and falling apart in the center, but they found a way. The young guy with scars clearly didn't want to be there. Came off as impatient and rude. The whole shop just felt grimy. Save your money and your stomach. read more

The food is super wonderful and delicious and yummy and tasty and I would come back for more read more

Rosalie Roppolo's Pizzeria - Delicious and good and wonderful and yummy - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Nice spot. Located Next to good bar with excellent music. Live band music. The pizza and the calzones were amazing. Good employees. Very engaging in good conversations while you waited for your order. read more

Kinda pricey. Pizza's crust texture was more like cardboard. Great location but nothing exciting at all. read more

I stopped here for a quick slice and as a person born and raised in NYC, I like to try pizza places in different states to see how bad they can be in different! This place disappointed because it was absolutely delicious! The pepperoni slice from here had me thinking k was standing on a street in Queens! The service was quick and the servers were friendly and the slice was delicious 10/10 read more

Austin isn't known for pizza, and it shows. Rosalie's pizza is barely average[1]. On the bright side, they take credit cards, sport friendly pizza serving people, and have a variety of toppings. You won't break the bank eating here, either. They're in a convenient, prime location, and get lots of foot traffic, so props to them. [1] If you're inebriated, you'll find their pizza magically delicious. read more

See all

Great late night snack. Excellent New York style thin crust pizza. Perfect for that late night craving when bar hopping or when you have the munchies. read more

You guys have one job, onnneee job ... make decent pizza. But noooooo, ya couldn't even do that. *sigh* On top of that you have the NERVE to charge SIX AMERICAN DOLLARS for 1 slice. LISSSTEEENNNN I've had better ONE DOLLAR slices in grand central station underground in NYC, so for $6 ima need you all to come thru with AT LEAST some gooey cheese or crisp crust or something lawd. Let me make this clear (if I haven't already)... I purchase a slice and upon having a few bites had to check THREE times if I had bitten the paper plate it was served on. Because that's what the actual crust tastes like ... AN ACTUAL PAPER PLATE. Goodness. I feel so sorry for the folks working there that have to sell this low grade product to customers. It's embarrassing, I would sooner pay $6 for some frozen Tostitos pizza rolls than go back to this place. A disgrace to pizza makers everywhere. read more

Great fresh pizza and underrated for what it is. I especially love the beer crust and the little details like pepper, delicious ingredients, and fast service. Recommend highly if you're downtown on 6th! AJ was attentive and fun to talk to. read more

I grabbed a slice of pepperoni, sausage, and jalapeno pizza here last night around 9pm. It was perfect! The whole-wheat crust was substantial and crisp enough to support a good amount of sauce and plenty of melty cheese. My slice was piping hot and delicious. Smaller than the other Roppolo's location, there's not a ton of seating here. Most people probably get a slice to-go, but I grabbed a seat on one of the barstools and enjoyed my pizza on-site. The employees were very friendly and checked to make sure my pizza was tasting just right. If I'm in the area around dinner time or late-night snack time, I'd stop here again. In the interest of full disclosure, I was accompanied by the owner, Marc Roppolo, when I went here; however, the slice I ate was from the same pie that the other patrons were served, so I did have an authentic experience. read more

Hello no. Do you really think this is good? Look in your heart, expand your mind, let me into your soul to tell you how much it sucks. Roppolo's recipe: -Doggedly remain on the drunkest street between New Orleans and Tijuana. -Have no less than 8 UT English grads behind the counter baking double plus ungood pies stacked thriceways deep in the display counter to give the appearance of plenty while maintaining a paucity of quality taste value. -Make readily available copious amounts of red pepper and parmesan cheese to mask unmelted cheese, canned ingredients, flavorless sauces. Let's be frank, ANY late night food place could survive there. Corpses could be chewed, cockroach dropping could be quaffed, c'mon. There are some excellent late night options downtown, read: kebabalicious and, for a walk, the Onion. Group goal: drunkenly stumble elsewhere. read more

A lot of pizza places on 6th, but the guy makes it so worth it to go here! He was super friendly and took my friends' drunken behavior so well. Colin I think. The pizza was a bit too hot but awesome. I'd rather it be too hot than cold, am I right?! But stupidly, come here. It's dope as fuck. read more

The crust to stuff ratio is all wrong. I probably wouldn't mind so much if the crust was better but it's a soft, flavorless mess. It's not the worst pizza ever, but with so many other options in the vicinity, I'd be hard pressed to settle for this slice. read more

Let's be honest, this place is not good, it only survives because it has prime real estate on 6th street and stays open late at night when there is no where else on that street to eat. For that purpose it hits the spot but that is not saying much. With the recent food truck craze sweeping South Austin, there is really no good reason to eat here any more when there are tons of better options open past midnight right in the area. read more

I came last sunday on 12/15 and i was amazed on how the pizza tasted here the pizza was fresh and had a plenty to choose from and they guy with the bulls hat didnt get to get his name was great he asked if i had ever ate at roppolos and i told him no being the first time eating at roppolos, he guaranteed that i was going to love it and sure i did i highly recommend this pizza parlor to anyone coming to 6th street great job !!!!!!! Albert - read more

Kevin is a know-it-all douchebag. Make sure you order your pizza by it's proper name around him otherwise he'll roll his eyes and correct you with major attitude 3 stars because the pizza is good and the rest of the staff are pretty awesome read more

Best pizza I've had in awhile! Service was great, felt like family. The crust had perfect Texture and density. Nice flavors and a smooth transitional flavor. And that guy with a beard is awesome read more

I'm so angry with this place. Worst slice ever. Tiny, burned, pepperoni buried in tasteless cheese, and soggy... all this for $4.50.... total ripoff and a disgrace to pizzerias. read more

Returned today after a long time. I don't get to that part of town often. Had a slice of the Italian meat pizza. It had meatball, sausage pellets, bacon, and pepperoni. The crust was very good, just a touch sweet. It was chewy and the right texture. The meatball was very good. The sausage was good, not great, as I really prefer sliced sausage vice sausage pellets. All in all, a very good slice. I will return and try their Italian Garden and Ricotta slices. I'm glad I went back. read more

I've had Roppolo's pizza many times at their store and even had it delivered too. It's always been wonderful and I enjoyed it very much. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the product great. read more

Great Pizza! Fives Stars PLUS!! I'm a pizza puritan, which means I prefer a slice of cheese, because you can tell the quality of the pizza by the crust and the sauce. I had almost sworn off of pizza by the slice because so many places in Texas use a sauce that is unnaturally tart and almost bitter. It was early in the evening after a long day of meetings - I was starved -when I stumbled onto Roppolo's as I walked to my car. I had a slice of their pizza that was right out of the oven and OMG it was delicious!!! The crust was incredible and there was a generous quantity of cheese that was melted to perfection. But it was the sauce that made my jaw drop and had me doing a double take of the restaurant. The Roppolo's sauce was slightly sweet yet robust in flavor - what a treat! It was all I could think about as I finished my walk to my car. On the way home, I stopped by and picked up a half cheese half veggie (my wife craves veggies). She loved the pizza, too. Now Roppolo's is a mandatory stop for us when we either of us are in the Downtown Austin Area. Roppolo's has renewed my faith in pizza by the slice now that I know that someone in Austin can make a Real New York Slice of Pizza. read more

The pizza is made quickly and delicious. It has a New York vibe so of course adds to the craving for pizza. The pizza settles the craving too. The overwhelming taste is just fantastic especially with the entertainment around the corner. It's highly recommended by locals and I am forever grateful for this recommendation. Enjoy a Godfather, it was my favorite! read more

Adam is amazing! He was so sweet to me and my friends. I will pick this location over the other pizza options just because of the service we received ( and the delicious pizza ). Thanks Adam and Roppolo's! read more

Thought I would give this location a shot for lunch today. It turned out to be just as good as their main store. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and quickly ordered a slice of Italian Meat. The pizza was delicious and steaming hot. This location also has some seating and a great atmosphere. Displayed throughout the restaurant are pictures of the owner's family, austin landmarks, and other interesting images. Overall, it was a great time, and I'll definitely be gong back soon. read more

Love the gluten free 11" pizza (I had Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Mushrooms & Onions.) Plus, the Calzone (non gluten-free) is humongous! It's enough for 2 or 3 people. Marinara and/or Garlic butter to dip. Ask for "Mike Nesmith" (Monkees) look alike. read more

I am a strong believer in supporting locally owned businesses, and Roppolo's Pizzeria is one I definitely support. At Roppolo's, you won't find your average pizza. Instead, you will find fresh, delicious pizza crust and sauce, and a wide variety of pizza toppings to choose from. To top it off, the service is great, and the prices are very reasonable. read more
