  So my take on things is a bit limited right out of the gate… their notification system never texted us that our pizza was ready so by the time they finally realized they need to invest in some WiFi (this place is solidly 1 or maybe 2 bars) and found us, our pie was almost room temperature. Not ideal. The crust… it is a nice thin crispy but not cracker-y crust, and the crust in the middle of the pie didn’t sog out, which was a definite plus. It has good flavor, and b/c it is such a thin vehicle for the delivery of the good stuff, you can house the entire pie and not feel like Mr. Creosote. The sauce… we got the pepperoni with vodka sauce instead of their regular sauce, and when we could taste it (it was spread a little thin) it was really good and had a nice complex flavor to it. The cheese… the cheese, such as it was almost at room temperature, was good enough, I guess. No cheese pull assessment available b/c cheese won’t pull when it’s, you know, lukewarm. The toppings… cup pepperoni FTW. And a good amount of it. They were not stingy with the pepperoni, which was appreciated. Now, that sense of largesse just needs to percolate over to the vodka sauce on the pie! Overall… again, a first experience at almost room temperature is hard to assess as the pizza half-life has already passed. The crust and the sauce show a lot of promise and we think would be even better when they were still warm from the oven, so we will have to give them another try at some point. This pizza for sure gives 8 and higher vibes (any pizza that gets an 8 or higher is a very good pie), but based on what we actually had… 6.25/10. So it’s above the baseline of 5 (ie Domino’s, Papa John’s, etc.), but I think under more optimal conditions, it could hit/exceed an 8. And fix your notification system, please!

  I LOVE SMALL'S!!! Best Connecticut style pizza in Austin, and one of the best pizzas in Austin period. Small's walks the fine line between having really solid classic pies and inventive special pies. Their clams casino pie I had recently is one such example: a white pie with fresh shucked clams, jalapeños, and ham.

  I’m a pizza-holic. Literally the only reason I work out 5 days a week is so I can eat pizza all the time. With that said I was very excited to see a New Haven pizza joint open up. We got the vodka w/ sausage which was great. And a half pepperoni and half mashed potato seasonal and wow I don’t normally like mashed potatoes all that much but it was a really exceptional pie, as was the pepperoni. This place is now in my top 5 maybe top 3 Austin pizza joints. My only gripe is the pies were rather pricey but I guess that just can’t be helped post covid where everything went up a bajillion dollars.

  Grabbed a vodka sauce pizza with pepperoni to-go. It came out to $30 with tax. A little steep for a pizza but I'm okay with splurging on a pizza this heavenly every once in a while. I never get pizza without pepperoni, but I think next time I'll skip it because the vodka sauce was truly that amazing. So much flavor packed into it and added a great savory, creamy layer to the pizza. The crust was not dry and had the perfect char. Pizza took 15 min to come out and staff was friendly- great experience! I noticed they had an empty display case so I'm hoping that means one day they'll be displaying and selling pizza by the slice!!! Would be a dream for lunch. Will be back to try a plain vodka and a sausage pizza!

  I’ve never had NH style pizza until dining here. My boyfriend has been wanting to try this place for sometime. We finally did. Holy cow, it’s so good. NH pizza is fantastic. I was fascinated by the thin, crunchy bread. The sauce and toppings are delicious. We got a slice of each. They were about $4.50 - $5.50 each. The vodka and broccoli/sausage were my favorites. Delicious pizza!!

  Best friend from 40 years ago and I visited this pizzeria on 12/10/2025 based on Google reviews. We were disappointed. Located in a business park (with poor nighttime signage) we managed to find a parking spot. We went to the counter and waited…and waited…and waited as 2 young (20 something gals) had a long conversation with the gal and fellow attending the cash register. After 12 minutes we wandered away in search of food that might be more forthcoming. Didn’t find anything so we returned and waited yet another 5 minutes behind said young gals. We ordered, but I was so irritated this point, I left zero tip. Usually I tip 25-30%. Salad was outstanding with two kinds of radishes and a beautiful vinaigrette. Pizza was average at best. Important note: filthy electricity holes in the floor to allow folk to plug in laptop(we noted 4 different holes) Huge stumbling/tripping hazard. Cannot recommend.
