No ac, our food came out one person at a time with at least 10-15 mins between plates. Either out of ice or it was so hot we only got a few ice cubes per drink. Main complaint some how between wings, small pizza and a buffalo wrap. 4 drinks it was 95 dollars. Seems excessive for the environment, quality of food and lack of service. read more

Overall poor experience, large in part to the level of service. The one person working behind the bar provided. Multiple issues with the food that was ordered surmounting in over 30 minutes to get a side of fries and while kind, only excuses were made nothig done to make the situation right read more

If you're looking for staff to actually acknowledge you, then skip this place. Never got a chance to try the pizza or drinks. We ended up leaving after 20 mins of being ignored, while at the bar and only a handful of patrons in the whole place. read more

Worst pizza I have ever had. Pitiful attempt at making a pizza and expensive to boot. Never again.

Went tonight - arrived at 9:45. They close at 11. The bar tender / waiter was not pleasant and acted like we were an inconvenience for coming. We ordered 4 slices of pizza on their available slice menu for the day and after 20+ mins of waiting on the slices and seeing the chef get angry about having to get us the slices we ordered- we were served 3 out of 4 burned slices of pizza. We were charged $45 for 4 slices of pizza that were not acceptable to eat and a bad attitude from the staff. I will never go back to this establishment and it's a shame this "service" seems acceptable to them. Extremely disappointed, shame on you Salvatuon pizza. Get your act together, you are in the service industry. Awful experience to end a date day / evening with my husband. read more

I am visiting my daughter in Austin and staying right around the corner from the Rainey St. Branch. I ordered a pizza at 5:30. At 6:30 I called and was told its done and just waiting on a driver. I was informed it was a 3rd party. I called 30 minutes later. The pizza was still waiting on a driver. I asked if I could have them remake it and I'd just pick it up. I was told yes. I walked there in just a few minutes and sat at the bar to wait on my pizza. I was sort of greeted. I wasn't even offered a water while I waited, or an apology. I get having a 3rd party delivery and it being out of your control. But I am your customer. Shouldn't you care if your customers aren't satisfied? Your online delivery doesn't say it's 3rd party delivery and I didn't expect it to sit on your pizza oven for an hour waitingfor a driver. I had plans that were impacted by this delay. When I got my pizza I asked about getting the delivery fee and driver tip back. I was told well we made you another pizza. Pretty glib response. No. You gave me what I paid for 2 hours before. I said glad to know you give a shit and walked my pizza back to the hotel. It was OK. Not worth $44 and a 2 hour wait. I don't live here so maybe this feedback doesn't matter to you. However, for future guests you might consider making it known that you don't do the deliveries and wait times could be very very long. Folks got things to do. I'd also suggest if a customer is unhappy you apologize and act like you care. Even if you don't. I'd suggest offering a glass of water or soda (since I was out $8ish) to someone who's had a mishap. (My message sent to their email) read more

Very friendly and fast service! The pizza was delicious and I loved the ranch. I'm not a huge of wings however these were tasty. The dry rub was very flavorful. The salad was very crisp, I would recommend it. The reason I'm giving this place a 4 and not a 5 is because I couldn't really taste the Caesar dressing on the salad. It wasn't terrible but I just wanted to have a Caesar salad and this was so light that I just tasted the lettuce. This may be a preference for someone so I wouldn't let me miss out on trying the restaurant out. read more

See all

Pizza was literally just dry a$$ bread with some cheese & some sauce. Literally had to dunk each slice in marinara sauce to get some flavor. bruschetta tasted as if there was huge clobs of garlic in each bite. So blah. Wings were pretty decent. Beer literally tasted like they hadn't cleaned the spouts in a year, each beer tasted weird/ gross. Service was good, ambience is just another dive bar with pizza. Not worth spending money or time unless you don't care for quality or are drunk from rainy st. Just being honest. read more

Sitting here....our friends ordered Canadian bacon,pineapple with jalapeños and received Canadian bacon, pepperoni and jalapeño. We ordered a GF that was amazing'. Problem...since we received our order no one has come by to check and make sure we are enjoying our meal. It's delicious, but not what we ordered and no one cares about customer satisfaction. read more

DOES NOT RESPECT COVID GUIDELINES i ordered a pickup pizza and was horrified that none of staff wear gloves or masks including in the kitchen. no hand sanitizer etc. we are in a pandemic and austin numbers are rising. this does not give me any confidence about eating out again. completely socially irresponsible read more

Do not go to this restaurant. I have NEVER been treated like this in my life. I am working for doordash and the waitress/bartender told me it would be an 8min additional wait. I waited for 20min before I asked again about the pizza and then she said another 8min but that "if I wanted to cancel, I can do that" in an extremely rude tone I even had an Uber delivery person shocked and asked "what did she say to you?!?" I waited again another 10min only to have the waitress come out with the pizza and she basically threw the pizza at the bar area and again in a rude tone said "there is it" and did not even look me in the face. I called the "manager" after to complain about the terrible treatment and all he said was "we were busy and stressful time" mind you they had less than 12 people in the restaurant. I let them know that it is not okay that an employee treats customers/doordash employees in that manner and all he said was "okay" and the conversation ended. The employee doesn't care, manager doesn't care. This all happened 6:27 between 5-6pm read more

Horrible place to order from, waited almost an hour for a favor order i had to deliver because they made a mistake and had to remake my order, and due to that i had to wait.. again wouldn't recommend this place to someone with 2 brain cells read more

I was very surprised at the terrible experience. Order was wrong and they don't answer the phone.

I don't wish the food poisoning this place gave me on my worst enemy. Clearly they don't make sure they have quality food. Steer clear.

Ended up on Rainey street for the food trucks but most werewere closed so we tried this spot. I probably would have given a 4 but for the price it was not that good. We got 2 slices of pepperoni pizza 1 caprese salad to share and cost $25...... The pizza was alright I liked it while it was hot. And the caprese salad was good but it somehow came out after we had almost finished the slice of pizza and it was in a plastic togo box. Weird. Not sure what took so long for 5 slices of tomato and mozzarella but it took too long. read more

Got there last night at 10:30. Place closes at midnight. After speaking with the server/bartender about what time they close, we order one pizza and some drinks. There's a handful of other guests there as well. An hour passes and we decide to check on the pizza. The server says she thought we wanted it to go because we were drinking. What?!? Never told us it was ready. We told her we wanted to eat there. She said she'd bring it to us, but then returns to another task and STILL doesn't bring the pizza! We return to the counter again and she hands us the pizza with no plates. It's now 11:50 and she has the audacity to tell us we've got 10 minutes to eat before they close! Pizza is cold and mediocre at best. What a joke. read more

We ordered online for pickup and arrived right when they told us our pie would be ready, but no one came to help us!? So we bellied up to the bar and still proceeded to wait. I flagged down a server and told her we had an online order, she said something to the effect of "I'm serving other tables" and we continued to wait. I could see the pizza boxes waiting and knew this could only mean one thing - cold pizza by the time we ate and sure enough we ended up with cold pizza. Sadly, I think the pizza could have been stellar, but the slow and unfriendly service took stars off. Maybe try it for lunch instead, may be a different service shift, oh well. A smile and a thank you goes a long way and it seems that is not something their wait staff wanted to offer. read more

As Rainey Street changes for the better/worse, this place stays its amazing self. Salvation Pizza is a Rainey Street staple that tourists don't get to know about. You walk in craving pizza but get so much more. I have lived on Rainey for about 3 years and this place is reliable for great food, comfortable easy ambiance, and welcoming staff. The pizza isn't anything to call home about, but who comes to Rainey Street or even Austin to eat the best pizza? Love this place because of the people inside and the reliable menu. Order takeout and bring back to your spot.. or dine in, watch a game, and chill with the bartenders. Never change Salvation Pizza! read more

A lot of new eateries as they expand this airport. This place is located outside gate 12 .and not bad pizza -sold by the slice, I ordered the bacon /jalapeño and cheese slice ; it was very good . The staff was very friendly and courteous.this place was clean and efficient-Give it a try read more

We popped in here mid bike ride on a Saturday for some A/C and cold drinks. It wasn't busy and our waiter was very friendly and prompt! He recommended the watermelon limeade as a refreshing drink and we ordered a build your own calzone. The cook time was a little long but worth it! It was so fresh with a crispy crust and perfection inside. The UT game came on while we were there, so it got a little busier, but the service never wavered. Great food and great service, would definitely recommend. read more

They stopped serving by the slice (slices were already shockingly average) and replaced them with Personal Pizzas, which somehow are even worse (It came out "fresh" but looked old and dry). I genuinely believe this is the worst pizza place I have ever came across in my entire existence. If you're looking for pizza in ATX go anywhere but here. However, I will say the place is cool to watch sports or grab a beer (hence why I gave it one measly star) but I would die before eating here again or die because I somehow did have to eat here again. I'd personally rather starve myself to death. read more

I really love this location. The staff if wonderful! Great food! But y'all took away single slices of pizza. That's pretty lame! Sometimes all you need is a slice. Bring that shit back please!! read more

This place is good! The crust on the pizza was amazing and I was addicted on the first bite. Definitely will be back and this is a must try. Customer service was amazing plus great music. read more

Nice calzones and wings. The service was pretty good. Definitely will come back next time I'm in Austin.

Wow this place had fantastic customer service and overall fun vibes! Before another night of going out, we decided to prepare our bodies with pizza (and rounds of shots, of course). Upon walking in, it's actually a family-friendly establishment that locals seem to frequent. All the customers we interacted with were so fun and friendly, especially keeping things PG when we noticed kids were present. (We uh, had to tone down the bachelorette vibes.) The pizza was great, gigantic, and perfect in meat-sauce-crust ratio! We only ordered the most basic pepperoni pizza, and everyone enjoyed themselves. No one was sick when we tumbled back home, but we definitely held in the alcohol after lining our stomachs with pizza. As delicious as the pizza was, we were all fans of the appetizers we shared at our table. The garlic bread was seasoned finely and paired with the delicious marinara sauce. The fried mozzarella was amazing, and we ordered another round. How can you possibly go wrong with mozzarella sticks?! Cheesy, ooey, gooey, and warm~ Fried pickles were shared as well, and they were tasty. I'm not the biggest pickle fan, but they were crunchy and the sriracha ranch was a nice dip to pair with. We also purchased rounds of lemon drops! They were done nicely albeit that sugary rim made us all wash our hands since it got us all sticky. We even got to take shots with strangers, lol. I appreciate this place for being so good to our rowdy group, and the crowd just enjoying our time there. This is a place to stop at if you're craving pizza in Austin- especially before a turnup. read more

Pizza was dry AF! $6 for dryness? They advertise 512 Pecan Porter but they only had ratchet Guinness. No napkins on tables, staff under-professional. $40 wasted. read more

Great price, friendly staff, legit food. The Mac n cheese on your pizza is a game changer

Good food and service. Enjoyed it and would go again. Sports bar feel with plenty of screens.

Honestly super sad writing this because this used to be my favorite pizza place to go to. If you are thinking of going here think AGAIN. Based on the reviews this seems to be an on going issue. But the lady named Candice up front we walk in sit down and order drinks my partner asks is there a chance we can change the channel on the tvs? Her remark was "is there a chance you can wait a min" very passive aggressive didn't sit right with us so when she asked if I wanted cinnamon on my drink I informed no we are going to pass on the drinks she said okay. Mind you we never saw her pour drinks or hand us our drinks we are sitting right at the bar. so I asked about my card on file she confirmed she was going to cancel it out I said cool thanks we leave. I later checked my card and she charged me for a drink she claimed she poured and charged the other person we were with as well. We come back to talk about the charges she sees us already is aggressive right off the bat and we were asking about the charges she said yeah you guys walked out so you were charged I took one drink off since it wasn't poured. She then prints out receipts one shows zero the other shows 10 bucks. Our banks show differently which we explained Okay cool well since you charged our cards can we get the drink we paid for she said no you can pay for another. Of course at this point we are beginning to get frustrated as she STILL has so much attitude and then she walks away telling other customers we are mad because they got charged for walking out. Honestly so crazy she basically just stole money. She was very immature and shocking that an establishment has this person working for them. I will be disputing this transaction. Rude staff definitely pushes customers away. Save yourself from poor service. The owner seems to not care since this has been happening for months just look at the reviews. read more

Food was good environment was popping for sure just didn't get the service I expected but definitely enjoyed the food.

The pizza is to die for. The burgers are amazing. The staff is totally cool and they have great GF options. Also burgers are big enough to share with another person. read more

If I could give it negative stars, I would. I went last night, July 9th, around 10pm. There was only one server and maybe 7 or 8 different parties she had to serve all on her own, I felt incredibly bad just seeing her running around all over the place on top of placing phone/take out orders. We ordered a small caesar salad, a dozen hot wings, 1 pepperoni calzone and 1 small supreme pizza (with ricotta cheese). I have to say that by far this is the most disgusting food I have ever tasted. The supreme pizza was RAW, it tasted like soggy wet noddles. I have NEVER experienced this before & just because it is "thin crust pizza" it does not justify the pizza being RAW & SOGGY. After that ONE bite of pizza, I couldn't eat a thing, I just wanted to throw up. Our server was so swamped that she didn't even bother to hear my concerns and walked away and took it off of our tab. I HATE that my partner had to pay $30 for 3 wings, 1/3 of a calzone and oh almost forgot the side of E. Coli with the raw dough. Ya'll might think I'm just purposely going on a rant because I have nothing better to do but I'm seriously close to going to the ER from stomach pains after last night. I have tried calling management 3 times now and its like they don't exist or they are avoiding me. MANAGEMENT IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU ARE LOOKING AT GETTING A POTENTIAL LAWSUIT FROM ME AND MY PARTNER. & I have pictures of proof of how much we ate and what we were served. On top of that, the wings were dry as hell, I asked for extra sauce to make up for it and told our server there were dry and she still charged us for more sauce. The calzone hardly had any pepperoni in it and the ricotta it had inside tasted weird and not okay. We were expecting to have a nice evening based on reviews but has turned into a night of hell. read more

Came here for a quick bite and beer and this place didn't disappoint. Not only does the menu have lots of options, but they had huge tv's to watch the games. We got great service and great suggestions from the staff and Ty (one of the bartenders) was awesome. Would definitely go again. read more

I got the worst service on top of hair on my food.. f'ing gross I'd never recommend it !!

After 12am, they only serve pizza by the slice. When I told a crew member to post a sign outside, he said it was on the menu. I was treated with rudeness and an alcoholic breath. So I guess you have to walk in this crappy place, sit down, look through the menu and then be disappointed that it's a limited menu. read more

Upon asking what's on draft, the response was merely a head nod to the taps in their poorly lit bar from the other side of the restaurant. Even after the sun went down there were several lights just not turned on. Server was sarcastic and slow. Do not recommend. read more

We were walking by and my kids wanted some goods so decided to try this place out. The inside wasn't as big. People were watching football and drinking. Order a small cheese pizza. Took bout 20 minutes. We loved it and the thin sliced tasted so good. They have outside patio to sit and eat too. read more

Pizza was good but they need boxes that are large enough for their pizza. Ordered a small pizza and it was too big for the box so they folded it over. What a mess. I have a picture as proof. read more

Salvation Pizza - So if the pizza is too big for the box they just fold it to fit? What a mess. - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

No thanks. I ordered through bitesquad and received a burnt pizza and some awesome mozzarella sticks in an hour and thirty minutes. I was expecting a wet pizza (the delivery time was long) not a blackened pizza. Granted, it's a game weekend and they're likely slammed, but as a business owner here in Austin, I would never send something with my name attached to it that looked like that. I received a credit for the pizza on my bitesquad account, but won't be ordering from Salvation Pizza again. The search for good pizza continues. read more

Salvation Pizza - I'm supposed to eat this? - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Well since I live nearby I wanted to give it a try, good reviews from the original location. My in-dining experience shortly after their opening was so so. The pizza was soggy and lukewarm. And the service was pretty bad, didn't get my water refilled the entire 90 minutes I was there. Second time, had family in town and decided to do a delivery when the weather was bad. Pizza was burnt and flavorless. Appetizer was stale tasting. Geez. Needless to say, I'm not returning for the food. Maybe for a beer, cool bar and setup to watch a game. read more
