Southside Flying Pizza
The Scoop: Forget Roswell, New Mexico, in Austin we have flying pizza sightings. The sightings just don’t happen anywhere though, they happen at a very specific spot on South Congress Avenue, a spot that the inhabitants of the 78704 and beyond like to call Southside Flying Pizza. The truth is out there! Ok, that was kind of cheesy (and not in the mozzarella kind of way), but all kidding aside, Southside Flying Pizza twirls a mean pizza. A local favorite for years, this cozy pizzeria keeps the crowds comin’ with its artisan Neopolitan crust, freshly prepared food and friendly staff. Don’t forget to say hi to the expert pizza throwers at Southside Flying Pizza- the restaurant boasts a national pizza throwing champion amongst its staff.
Scout Notes: What makes Southside Flying Pizza unique is their homey Italian atmosphere and down-right delicious fare. Where places like this may be plentiful in New York City or Chicago, it’s difficult to find authentic, tasty old-world Italianio goodness here in Austin. And like other noteworthy Italian joints, Southside Flying Pizza gives you options: pizza, salad, subs, pasta, and homemade desserts—half-orders, full-orders, big or small. Though known for their aerobatic pizzas, the rest of the menu is nothing to sneeze at. Here a house salad isn’t just any ol’ house salad, oh no. At Southside Flying Pizza the house salad features freakin’ pecans honey roasted IN-HOUSE! How do like that? Top that with some heavenly homemade Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing and you won’t know what hit you. Their submarine sandwiches feature the perfect amount of meat-cheese-topping-dressing ratio—not too little, not too much. You can tell that the eatery prides itself on preparation and the perfect blend of ingredients.
There is never a dull moment hanging out at Southside Flying Pizza. When you’re not finding yourself staring in awe at the culinary craftsmanship of the staff, you’re checking out the intricately drawn music posters of revered Austin artist Micael Priest lining the walls. Or their pizza-throwing medals and plaques. Besides having a music spirit that is so prevalent in the “Live Music Capital of the World”, Southside Flying Pizza also partakes in the city’s generous side— 5% of their online orders goes to the Texas School of Deaf. There really is no reason not to go.
