    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I ordered an Uber eats. The food came super fast and the food is really hot and fresh. On top of that, this is the best pizza I've ever had in Austin hands-down . Can't wait to check it out irl

    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.

Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint. I haven't stopped raving about Sammie's since I've been there, and I cannot wait to return, recommend it, and take friends and family that visit.

As it turns out the coupon was only good during the week and it was Saturday. No big deal. I ordered a Meatball Sandwich, my friend an Italian Sandwich (after asking our excellent young waitress about it). She brought out two very tasty types of bread with olive oil for dipping. The sandwiches came with Garlic Fries. The Fries were delicious but unfortunately mine were lukewarm. I certainly could have asked for a fresh portion, but was hungry enough not to bother. That's the reason my rating wasn't 5 Star. Because the restaurant was pretty empty on this Saturday afternoon, I feel the Chef shouldn't have sent out fries that weren't piping hot. The Meatball Sandwich however was marvelous. Freshly made, tasty meatballs with sauce and cheese on their focaccia bread was a real treat. I took half home and ate the rest for dinner. All in all, I'd come back here again as the food was excellent as well as the service.
