    Lemon pie
    Clau R.

    I've been to Sammataro a few times now, mostly for takeaway. The pizza is tasty, and although it's roughly $30 per pie, they're pretty sizeable. I'm knocking off a star because of the $10 salad we added to our order more recently. It was literally a plate of chopped up Romain lettuce, completely plain, with a little cup of dressing on the side and some Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. Charging $10 for that is unreasonable. We ordered it thinking it would be a standard house salad. I'll be back for pizza, but I will be thinking twice before trying anything else.

    Legit pizza in downtown Austin. They have a trailer and separate structure that has limited seating and bathroom inside. There is also plentiful outdoor seating available. The parking situation was confusing a bit. Last time, we parked nearby and walked over. Staff were friendly and cool. One of my husband's main food groups is pizza and he absolutely loves this place and I concur! As a person who doesn't like pepperoni I would eat pepperoni on their pizza anytime as they were perfectly crisp and delicious We love their pizza but it's a bit costly and the location is kind of far from our house so we only stop by when we're in the area. All in all, highly recommended if you haven't checked them out yet!

    Had to try out the austin HYPE pizza and it did not disappoint. I loved the indoor seating area, its very austin vibey. The pizza itself looks and tastes amazing but i didnt get that WOW factor. I feel like the best way to tell if a pizza is unique is by the quality of the cheese, flour(dough), and cooking oven. Everything tasted fresh but it was just like any other pizza i've had. The pizza was $34 which is on the higher end. Will I be back? Yes. Do i think its lifechanging? No. I have heard they change up their menus and have unique pizzas in the summer so i definitely want to come back and give that a try!

    Extremely crispy, thin, sauce amazing. Can't ask for more

    Best pizza I have ever had, hands down, non negotiable. Crispiness, amazing cheese, sauce is incredibly on point. Can't recommend enough, by far best in Austin

    Traditional pizza

    Got to stop here when visiting Austin. Picked it because Portnoy rated it well and I was not disappointed. Chewier bread like crust of a Neapolitan with a great sauce. I just got classic today to try the basic but the others sounded amazing too! I didn't notice pepperoni on the menu but that is ok! Food came out quick and friendly service. This is I guess a food truck in a courtyard.... Seems like.... I wish the other buildings were other restaurants/bars. Note: this is BYOB unfortunately so bring your own!

    What a cool location. It's warm and welcoming. How do they fit this wood fire over into the pod? There's a lot of outdoor seating. And some indoor as well. Each pizza is made with high quality ingredients. I got a half and half pizza of pepperoni on one side. And a honey spicy sausage on the other. It was delicious! This place is definitely a vibe. Brings that Austin pod culture to life. And shows what you can produce in a quant space.

    A whole custom pie topped with pepperoni, jalapeños, fresh basil leaves, and more.

    When a vibe meets pizza, you have SAMMATARO. The menu is simple, and the pies hit that spot, making you remember the drunken, err, good times in NYC. Pros: - Brick oven char! - Large pies - Friendly staff - NYC-styled - Austin outdoor vibes - Pet friendly Side Notes: - Brick + mortar closed - Parking around the area - Closed M + T - Made to order (can take time) What We Got: - Full custom pie Summary SAMMATARO is re-opened at the OG location they once started from, which, IMHO, was the better spot. You have the outdoor vibes, and as Austin starts to cool off, it is a perfect spot to take your friends or date on a creative expression of the city. Hours: Check the hours; they are closed on M + T and open during certain hours. I live up north, so when they first opened, I made the mistake of coming on a Monday and had to get subpar pizza elsewhere. Time: They have a full-blown brick oven attached to the shop, giving it a unique char flavor I haven't had in any other pizza in town. It's made to order, so if you don't order in advance, you'll have to wait as they make it fresh. Parking: It's easy to find parking around the area, but look for signs as it's next to a nice neighborhood, so it's better to walk than get a ticket! They also have convenient parking right next to the food truck area, but sometimes the demand is high, so parking might need to be street side. I haven't had an issue yet parking right up front! Taste: We have a lot of pizza places in Austin, but this one is definitely a fave of mine. I'm a fan of the thin crust, with a char that isn't burnt and full of flavor when you bite into it. I love folding my slices vertically in half and chowing down on them in a few bites as if you were in NYC, walking around the city at night. Go check it out. Bring a date, your friends, and/or your family. The fall weather is hitting, so it's a nice spot to enjoy Austin and some damn good pizza.

    Great pizza for a good price!! Pizza was so good thin and crispy and also huge. Service was fast you order from a food truck took about 15-20 mins but while you wait there's a wine house and a tattoo shop. Very nice area had live music as well.

    outside

    Carlos, flor, and gabby made the best experience tonight. If I could eat here nightly I would. The vodka pizza was 10/10. The atmosphere was the most beautiful place, do bring bug spray if you want to eat outside, but you won't be disappointed with the taste or the place.

    This place deserves all the recognition for its New York style pizza. It really lives up to the hype. We went on a hot day during happy hour and there weren't many people there, so our pizza didn't take long at all. The vodka pie was a perfect twist on a classic pizza- it had a little more spice and kick to it. This is a food truck, so the seating is almost completely outdoors. They have a small area inside but the AC isn't great, so prepare to be a little warm if you're going in the summer months.

    Sammataro is an absolute gem. Admittedly, I did not expect to find this caliber of pizza in Austin, TX. It's picture perfect. The service was very friendly and quite frankly one of the highlights. They made me feel like I was a regular there. For a group of 3 they recommended 2 pizzas (more pizza is always better in life), which is what we did. Tried the regular cheese and the vodka Cheese Review - my favorite of the two, it's really well executed. The parm adds great funk. Basil gives it some lift. Really nice crust with minimal flop. Vodka - really really good. The vodka sauce is really flavorful, but doesn't overpower. Perfect amount of cheese.

It's fun to have that sense of community being welcomed into the restaurant as soon as you get there! We split up, and I went to grab seats while the other member of my party stood in line. Seating wasn't difficult, and it was well ventilated, which was highly favorable and much appreciated in the heat with missing fans, running constantly, cute ambience, lighting with the small bulb lights, and even bug spray available they make sure that this dining experience was covered on all bases so that you would have a great one. The menus are easily accessible, with multiple copies, being passed down the line, and sitting in the stand as soon as you walk up. However, after hearing about the restaurant online, and taking some time to read the menu prior to arrival, I knew what was on my mind - carbonara. From arrival to ordering with maybe about a 30 to 40 minute wait however, it was worthwhile. The dishes are made to order, with fresh pasta being used, making it even better. We opted for two half orders to share, and that was definitely enough food because we ended up even taking leftovers. We also got an order of the garlic bread with tons of roasted garlic, parmesan, and green onions. While the carbonara was flavorful and what my mind was initially set on, the other pasta actually ended up stealing the show and was what we finished immediately the Leopold had a pesto base and a nice hint of spice even without the peppers (which were taken off in our order). Overall, the most difficult part of this meal was parking, and the fight was completely forgotten after my first taste. They have a small lot, however, if you circled the nearby neighborhood a couple times you're sure to find a place to put your car.

Came with two large bone marrow and a delicious but very heavy mushroom risotto. I'm used to mushroom risotto in a white creamy base but this one was red, buttery, and cheesy. It was incredible but I wouldn't recommend it if you're on a date or watching what you eat. I was very bloated and felt heavy afterwards so save it for your cheat meal days.

The beef filet was nicely cooked but lacked flavor and the slice was cut a bit too thick for my taste. I'm assuming they keep it on the blander side so it doesn't compete with the fonduta but I would have liked a little more salt.
