Reply #14: In Austin, my fave single store is Reale's, and my chain is Austin's Pizza. [View All]

Reale's is a moderate price Italian restaurant in a strip center in northwest Austin. Excellent pizza and bread, not to mention the pasta dishes.

My favorite delivery style pizza is Austin's Pizza. Great regular pizza--a little crispy, but still excellent cheese and dough), and some creative alternative pizzas, including soy cheese contraptions, and good salads that are much better than the ice-berg-lettuce-sprinkled-with-vegetable-shavings stuff you get most places. Original dressings, even.

In case ya'll are ever in Austin.

Best pizza I ever had, though, was in New York City, at a little sidewalk cafe just south of the WTC site. I don't remember the name, and I don't know if it was the pizza or the fact that I was in New York (on a cold and uncrowded Sunday) or the company I was with--my five year old daughter-- but it was the best I ever had, for whatever reason.
