    Margherita Pizza and Mama's Favorite Pizza
    Stephanie C.

    We recently tried Vagabond Pizza for the first time, and it perfect for a cozy dinner date. The atmosphere felt relaxed and the service stood out right away: the staff were genuinely friendly and checked in often without ever feeling intrusive. We started with the bread and butter, which was so good. The house-churned butter blended with garlic and black sea salt was rich, savory, and downright addictive--I'd go back just for that alone. For mains, we shared two pizzas: the classic Margherita and Mama's Favorite. Both were fresh and flavorful.

    As soon as I walked I was greeted and felt very welcomed. My plan was to order food to go but started a great conversation with the bartender and decided to eat in the restaurant. I ordered the caprese as a started and it was delicious. I also ordered the Lucia pizza which was recommended and did not disappoint. I started this review months ago from my first visit. I have returned several times since. The Lucia is definitely my favorite pizza. This is a chill spot, great for a date or great place for a few friends to have some great draft beers.

    Y'all!! I have no words for this fabulous find! This is a hidden gem in West Texas! Everything from the service, to the ambience, to the food is spectacular! If you live in Abilene or you are just traveling through, take time out to try this place. We had two pizzas and the dumplings. The dumplings are the most unique and flavorful item I have ever had. The dough is pasta and the chili oil just brings a kick. You can choose any pizza and never go wrong. We LOVED the Lucia with the crispy salami and pepper jelly. WOW!

    In Abilene for work. We shared three pizzas and all were delicious. We were greeted by Tavish upon entering the restaurant, he promptly seated us and provided recommendations upon our request. He treated us to dessert since it was our first time at Vagabond, will definitely be back on our next visit.

    10/10 experience! Everything was superb. I've had the Lucia pizza before and it's always a crowd pleaser. It's a salami pizza with a sweet and spicy pepper jelly! The special for the day was a pizza with chorizo, red onion, egg sauce and mozzarella. Also really tasty. This was the first time we tried the Italian dumplings. They r topped with chili crunch oil and it adds just the right amount of heat. Overall great experience and will return!. Total for 2 appetizers, 2 pizzas, 1 coffee and 1 water was $65 without tip.

    Dine in | Dinner | $20-30 Delicious pizza and good service. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast our food arrived, and I also appreciated that the waitress encouraged me to try two different pizza styles by ordering a half-and -half pie. I had the Lucia and Jerk Chicken pies and both were very good. Nice selection of Texas beers as well.

    Service was great, if you want more cheese parm flakes, they'll let you have some without charging you extra! The waitress was very nice and attentive to us and the pizza, especially the dough, was very well made and reminded me of my time in Italy. Bathrooms are quite clean and parking is very plentiful. Beautiful ambiance as well with lots of after dinner activities surrounding this location.

    Best pizza in Abilene; however, I give this a 4 because the service was slow and I literally had to ask the waiter for a pizza box 3 times.

The interior is that frigid, lifeless faux fancy industrial aesthetic that chills your senses and has no character of its own. The menu is what you expect. Nothing special or original just benign takes on traditional fare, like Blackened Ribeyes. We were In Abilene because my family gathered to watch my nephew's football debut at Hardin-Simmons University. My wife ordered the Caesar Salad and Truffle fries. The salad was limp, and the dressing was tangy like it was mixed with Dijon mustard Her Truffle Fries had an okay flavor. The dipping sauces were good but nothing great but the nail in the coffin was the fries were cold. Not cold as in sitting in the warmer cold, we're talking OUT ON THE COUNTER FOR 10 MINUTES OR MORE COLD!! I got the Waygu Smash burger. The burger patties, pickles, and everything inside were good but it was served on a fancy bun that was also cold. Not sitting on the counter for 10 minutes cold, we're talking RIGHT OUT OF THE FRIDGE COLD. Fancy buns should be lightly toasted to make the dense bread bearable. It totally failed my bun to juiciness ratio, and to top it off my fries were also COLD. My daughter got the Ahi Tuna Ponzo. I didn't taste it because I was busy eating my cold bun, cold fries. Plus my wife's Dijon Caesar Salad because she despises mustard. But she seemed to like it, that's why this review is three stars instead of two. She said it was "Slightly nutty and the vinaigrette is sharp and fresh without being overwhelming the tuna is seasoned nicely and it's a fatty cut not fishy at all." Listen, you could say "if it's cold send it back. Make them fix it." But the truth is that it doesn't matter. They sent out two batches of cold truffle fries (my brother in law also ordered some), my cold fries, a fancy bun that was right out of the fridge, and Caesar dressing spiked with Dijon mustard. Sending it back just would have made the experience worse, like being in a chilly hell where all the heat has been stolen so all food is served COLD.

The beef quality was superb--thick-cut, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned without overpowering its natural flavor.

We took the onions and cucumbers off our salad due to dietary issues and that left us with lettuce, mushrooms, and dressing. Our burger was the best part. It was cooked well, and the bun was soft. The strawberry shortcake was disappointing. The fruit was stewed and the biscuits were hard with just room temp heavy cream to offset the temperature of the fruit. For ambiance, it was nothing to write home about. Very busy and very loud, but it was a Saturday evening so that was to be expected. What I didn't expect was the lack of air conditioning in July. It was over 100 degrees that day, and it was cooler outside. Unacceptable for Texas in July when you're seating tables 3' from each other. Our server was good. She was attentive, and kept our water glasses filled. We may try again once the weather cools down.
