Patrizi's operates from a food truck but has its own well-maintained, shaded eating area that is sooo cute and welcoming. Many are willing to queue for freshly-made scratch cooking of this quality, so lines are common. However, the owner/chef takes great pride in customer service so will regularly be out talking to the people in line, asking if they had any questions, and just chatting. Trust me, once you try Patrizi's, it will be hard to feel the same about your other Italian food sources (unless it's your own or your Mom's). Also, if you would like wine or another libation, the Butterfly Bar is pretty cool as well.

There is parking down the road a little at the apartment but very limited. As soon as we entered the service was so great. The host was so friendly to us and our little kids. The server Vernon was also so pleasant and he went above and beyond for us. And was always there when we needed him We had the crispy potatoes... scallop crudo... brioche to start with. The potatoes were so good. For mains we had the chicken and steak... two pastas. The rigatoni and the agnolotti . The agnolotti was disappointing. It felt like it was so overcooked it felt like soup but it was still very tasty. The chicken was really good. Finally for dessert we had all three options The lemon olive cake, bread and butter pudding and chocolate mousse. The latter was too rich for me but the olive cake oh my goodness... tasted like a delicious home made moist cake it was so good. I wanted to take home an extra slice.

I saw their happy hour menu and already know we're coming back for that. The pizza honestly tasted like it came straight from heaven. I learned their dough ferments for 24 hours and they use flour imported from Italy, which explains why it tasted so good. As a gluten-sensitive girlie, I usually avoid regular crust, but I decided to risk it with an enzyme because I couldn't resist trying their in-house dough. They do offer a gluten-free crust option too, which I appreciate. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you love good pizza, good drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Wow, this was amazingly bad…read more This was the smallest and thinnest piece of salmon I've ever had. It was $14 extra just for that sad piece of "fish". It was also extremely dry even though I ordered it medium. It tasted like a frozen fish stick. I think the whole thing was fried? Abomination. The salad was also bland. The cheese (of the 3 pieces they put) tasted like cardboard. You can't even see the cheese in the photo. Sad tiny pieces of avocado. They ran out of the seasonal vegetables I originally ordered. I have no idea what happened here. Our main server was nice. The ambiance had a corporately chain restaurant vibe. Someone else had half of their pizza and left the rest. Guess that wasn't good either. $43 after tip and tax just for this "salad" and a lemonade. And $16 for valet after tip and tax. This is definitely a "never again" in my book.

First of all, I've been on a crazed search for the best pizza in the Austin metro area. Of the 20…read moreor so top spots I've tried, this took the crown of best pizza in Austin. We tried 3 pizzas to cover our bases. First off, the Tomato Pie with Pepperoni. Amazing. It had the perfect level of acidity to cut through the savory and meaty pepperoni. Perfect levels of seasoning and actual depth/flavor to the sauce. Second, the Vodka Pie was probably the best cheese pizza adjacent pie I've had in town. Complexity and rich cheesy flavor with amazing seasoning to make a perfectly cohesive pie. Third, the innovative and wonderfully creamy, buttery, savory Mashed Potato Pie. A novel blend of textures and flavors without being overbearing. To top it all off, the service was amazing too. The cashier/server with the pretty, colorful hair was very nice and accomodating. They brought out the pizzas for us and brought all the accoutrements we would need promptly. This plaza is one of our favorites with other awesome spots like Uroko/Tonari. It is, however, a shared space with clientele of other stores and such. That being said, the open space and seating was actually very nice. Please give Small's a try and tell them Tiger sent you!!

I tried Small's Pizza at Springdale General this weekend and ended up having a really nice…read moreexperience. They serve New Haven style pizza, which is extremely thin crust. Think almost cracker-like as opposed to crispy outside/chewy inside like a New York pizza. The tomato sauce had a slightly tangy flavor that worked well with the thin crust. We ordered a half cheese, half vodka pie. The vodka side is the one with the pepper on it in the picture. Both were really good and kid approved, which is always the real test ;) You order at the counter, and they take your phone number and text you when your food is ready. We ended up wandering around Springdale General and checking out a few of the little shops while we waited. It was about a 30 minute wait on a Saturday around 6 pm. When we came back to the shared seating area they actually brought the pizza and salad directly to our table even though we didn't have a table number or anything. I'm not sure if that's standard or if they just recognized us from ordering, but it was a really thoughtful touch. You're eating off paper plates with plastic utensils, so very casual experience. It feels like the kind of place where you could grab takeout or bring kids. We also ordered the Little Gem salad. It was a good size and easily split between two adults and two kids. I was also impressed with the beer and wine selection. I didn't notice any NA beer in the display case, although the menu mentioned Athletic Lite. The dining setup at Springdale General is shared with a few other places including a sushi place, The Front Page bar, and Medici Coffee. The space was pretty packed when we went. Both trash stations were completely overflowing. It was honestly a balancing act to get our plates in there. Since it's a shared dining area I don't think that falls directly on Smalls, but whoever manages the space probably needs to keep a closer eye on it. Also, for a casual place, they didn't offer self-serve soda. They give you plastic cups and you can refill water at a water fountain down the hall by the bathrooms. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars. New Haven style pizza is extremely thin and crisp, and the crust almost eats like a cracker. Personally I still lean toward a New York or New Jersey style with more chew, but I tried to rate this based on the experience and the quality of what they're aiming to do, not my personal preference of New York over New Haven. Austin already has a lot of great pizza, so I'm not sure how often I'd go back, but I'm glad a place is bringing New Haven style into the mix.
