    Great pizza spot near UT! The service was quick and friendly, plenty of indoor seating and a few parking spaces outside. The food was delicious, I got a build your own pizza. There's tons of good toppings and the price wasn't too bad. Would highly recommend!

    The Tribune.^
    Nicole M.

    Similar concept to chipotle as in your order your food or can custom through a line and by the time you pay your food is ready. We ordered the tribune and it was delicious! Fan of the thin crust and the small was enough for my husband and I to split. We ended up coming in randomly when they had trivia. We played and that enhanced our experience. Pizza, pitcher of beer and trivia... can't beat it!

    We stopped by the Pizza Press to have the Valentines day special since it was one of the few pizza parlors in town offering heart shaped pizzas :) The Valentines special included two heart shaped pizzas of choice, warm cookie with vanilla ice cream and two drinks. We had The Times (chicken) and The Chronicle (veggie). The ingredients were fresh, dough was thin and crispy with the perfect sauces drizzled on top. The line moved slightly slowly as it was lunch time and it looked like the constant flurry of customers were all UT students. The staff seemed slightly overwhelmed with the long lines but were trying to be nice nonetheless. It took a while for our order to be prepared. The food was great but the restaurant looked quite dated, especially with rusty vents on the ceiling, right above the prep station of the pizza. There's are a few parking spots available right outside the restaurant entrance.

    The Herald. + Root beer.

    The good: I love the ambiance this place has! Being around the communication building, they have a lot of journalism related memorabilia and food named after newspapers, which I think is cool. The root beer on tap is always worth to have. The bad: since they bake your pizzas in front of you, it can take a while to get the food, which also means that there's a pretty long line during lunch or dinner. Also, sometimes the pizza is good, but sometimes, like this time around, a bit salty.

    I went to pizza press last night with my friend and got a build your own. I got a pizza with pepperoni,pineapple, mushrooms, olives, and mushrooms and it was pretty good and flavorful. I know that my pizza sounds disgusting but don't hate on it unless you try it. The service was also tuff as I saw my boy there and he was an absolute chiller. Would highly recommend this place but not for a date as it didn't go so well for me. Furthermore I almost choked and died while eating my pizza so make sure to take small bites and enjoy your pizza !

    Pizza was decent. They have a few options to choose from and different crusts as well as you can build your own pizza. Cauliflower crust is good. Service was okay, had a lady cashier she was rude and seemed like she hated her job and everyone there. Overall ambiance is boring and bland. but if you want to order a late night pizza online and pick it up i'd say it's fairly decent.

    Solid joint by the U. Usually drop by but did not have the chance to rate it. Move in day at UT and Ryan was manning the joint by himself. What a champ as it got busier he handled his business and kept the flow moving. They do have cauliflower crust as well. Fast good pizza with beer on tap. Shout out to Ryan, good food and great service.

    PYO Pizza

    This place has been one of my favorite pizza spots in West Campus. The pizza is customizable to your liking or you can choose from preset options as well. I chose to do the PYO (personalize your own) pizza. There are a lot of topping choices to choose from to really make it your own. The pizza does come in a more thin crust style so it's perfect if that's your preferred style. The place is open and has various booths for you sit at and televisions to watch from. There are also rocking chairs outside and parking, which is nice if you prefer sitting outside to enjoy your food. The service is fairly good. The pizza artists were very patient with my friend as it was his first time eating here and he was browsing through all the possible toppings he could choose from.

    The Herald
    Devesh S.

    The pizza is nice and is not very expensive. We got two of the signature pizzas and they both turned out to be good. My only complaint is that the pizza is thin crust and is not filling enough, I wish they make the size slightly larger even if it means it costs more.

    Aditi P.

    Great food! Line moves pretty fast, and sometimes they have trivia nights too! I highly recommend their cinnamon pizza as well if you're in the mood for a dessert!

    Damiana D.

    I've gotten multiple people hooked on this place. The pizza is so good and you can customize it as much as you want. The prices have gone up a lot and is pretty pricey for a personal pizza. The decorations are really cool , but almost every time I go the tables are pretty dirty.

    Ashley C.

    yummy pizza in west campus, close of ut students. like the build your own pizza as you can put unlimited toppings/meats/cheese (limited to one serving per topping). worth the price if you get serval toppings but not a lot of topping choices. definitely fills your pizza craving. fast service. casual ambiance.

    PYO Pizza
    Christopher C.

    Great spot to go with friends and enjoy superb pizza! Similar to subway means of ordering. I'm a big fan of adding as much as I can on top to get my money's worth! I knocked it one star based on the price of around $15 (including tip)! TIP: I'd recommend getting a side of ranch at the end of the line! I'd also recommend eating outside! The ambience is nice!

But by the time my friend arrived about 1:10 the line had disappeared and the crowd was quickly thinning out. I had the farmhouse club and my friend went with a salad (I forget which one). My sandwich was absolutely delicious and I cleaned it up. His salad was enormous and he couldn't finish it. He had enough leftover to take home for another meal. Neither came with a side but they are available for purchase. The restaurant is bright and cheerful inside with plenty of seating. And the staff are very friendly and eager to assist throughout the meal. The only downside is their prices being a little high for the type of setting so one star off. I will probably return anyway for the delicious sandwich. But I wish it came with chips!

I've been for both lunch and dinner, and lunch is clearly the peak time, which makes sense given the sandwich, salad, and soup menu. It feels built for the midday lunch crowd. The kitchen runs very efficiently, the line moves quickly, and online ordering is very easy. It's counter service, but I've taken meals to go a few times and everything traveled well. As of February 2026, it still has that brand new restaurant feel. The interior is bright, clean, and modern, and there's a ton of outdoor seating. However, you are just off 38th Street and across from the Seton medical complex, so al fresco dining may not be the quietest experience depending on traffic and time of day. Overall, a great addition to the area for lunch (or dinner).

It's family-owned, warm, and genuinely welcoming in a way that feels increasingly rare. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they care deeply about both the food and the people they're serving. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can taste the quality in every bite -- nothing feels rushed or phoned in. The portions are generous without being over the top, and everything we've tried has been full of authentic flavor and perfectly seasoned. It's the kind of meal where you're already planning what you'll order next time before you've even finished. And Gio? Truly outstanding. He strikes that perfect balance of attentive without hovering. He knows the menu inside and out, offers thoughtful recommendations, and makes you feel genuinely taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in what he does -- he's warm, personable, and elevates the entire experience. Service like that makes a difference, and Gio absolutely delivers. What really sets Farmand's apart is that combination of incredible food and heartfelt hospitality. Austin has no shortage of great restaurants, but Farmand's Kitchen stands out because it feels personal and intentional every single time. It's one of those places we recommend immediately when someone asks where they should eat -- and we'll absolutely keep coming back.

I think over time this restaurant will do better.
