I'm not even kidding when I say that this is some of the best pizza that I've had in Austin. HIGHLY recommend giving this spot a try if you're craving pizza! My go to is the 50 First Dates. I'm not a huge pineapple on pizza person, but for some reason it just feels right. It also comes with freshly made pulled pork that's super tender and delicious. My other favorite is the Domo Arrabbiata Mr. Roboto. If you like spicy stuff, you're going to love this pizza. The chili oil that they make in-house is to die for! Note for dine-in visitors: they have indoor & outdoor dining. Parking is a bit limited in the front so be prepared to look for street parking nearby. The patio is also dog-friendly and the whole restaurant is BYOB! read more

I absolutely love this place, the pizza was terrific and reminded me of the best ones I had in Italy. I tried the vegan cheese when I found out they made it in-house but then was disappointed they put Parmesan on it. But I was WRONG it was their own pecorino that they ALSO make in house! It's made from cashews & nooch and some other stuff. After being served so many accidents in my non-dairy life it was like a miracle. Highly recommended. read more

Crust was tasteless and the ingredients were bland. PS This place gets such high reviews that the trick must be to go in person.

Very tasty pizza with creative toppings. I offer the following criticism only because I want to continue to be a customer and I want Show Me Pizza to be a hit. The crust is too doughy. In my case, the bottom of the pizza was too thick and seemed undercooked. If the chef can create a crispier crust this will be a five star pizzeria. Everything was delicious but that dough needs work. read more

This was so good, I'm not really a pizza person and honestly only came because of the great reviews. Well, I was wrong, this is the best pizza I've ever had I'm usually keto, so I normally don't eat the crust edge. But this time, I actually ate the crust first before getting to the toppings. It's thin, crunchy, and has such a great texture and flavor. I finished the slice right away and forgot to take a picture. I also ordered the Garlic Knots. They come four to an order, but I wasn't sure I wanted that many. Kat told me I could order just one, which was really nice. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my favorite, a little too doughy for me. And then there was the Tiramisu. Wow! It's so good, not overly sweet like other tiramisu and the texture is light, fluffy, and smooth. They were busy during my visit, but the service was still great.

I've spent my life chasing the perfect crust, comparing everything from the legendary pie shops in Manhattan to the pristine corner slices in Pittsburgh. I didn't think Austin could pull off truly authentic pizza. I was dead wrong. Baldinucci is absolute sorcery. The moment I took a bite of their Roman-style pizza, I was instantly thrown back to the tiny, narrow pizzerias I stumbled into in Italy. It has that exact, hyper-specific airy crunch that is so incredibly hard to replicate outside of Europe. The dough is clearly fermented with patience. It's light, shatteringly crisp on the bottom, and has those beautiful, irregular air pockets that give it a pillowy structure without ever feeling heavy. Let's talk about the sauce, because that's where most places fail. It isn't that sugary, paste-heavy stuff you find at standard joints. It is vibrant, bright, and tastes intensely of sun-ripened tomatoes and clean olive oil. It is remarkably fresco; striking that perfect balance where the acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese without overwhelming the palate. The vibe inside the West Lake spot is casual and unpretentious, but they take their craft seriously. Food service is streamlined and efficient; you order at the counter, and they pop the slices back into the oven so they land at your table screaming hot. The staff is genuinely proud of what they're slinging, and they should be. If you are an East Coast transplant drowning in a sea of mediocre pies, do yourself a favor and get over to West Lake. It's the real deal. PS: The gelato flavors are also sorcery. However, a review of their gelato is for another time. I must continue to savor the pie for now.
