Wow, had lots o pizza with some friends.
1) Blue with pepperoni (last time was Blue + sauasge)
2) Eggplant (Eggplant tapenade, capers, kalamata olives, Parmesan)
3) Margherita
4) Potatoes and Goat cheese.
5) Subterranean (Caramelized onion, fontina, mushrooms, roasted potatoes, basil)
My faves were Blue with pepperoni (yet again) and the potatoes with goat cheese. The eggplant pizza was just weird, didn’t like the odd flavors in there.
Check out Kev’s smashed ray ban’s. so sad…
You really can spend hours at whole foods. So many interesting food items, most of which you’d know little about – and you can ask the many helpful and fun-to-talk to employees there. I learned so much just galavanting this massive grocery store. And, you can sample pretty much ANYTHING in the store if you just ask.
Then there’s the food court. Their pizza section is lovely. They come up with interesting combinations of toppings, it seems to be new each time. Here’s to variety!
Man, seems like I just had Hom Slice the other day. There’s not a lot of seating outside Home Slice, but you can always enjoy your pizza anywhere along SoCo. There’s couple of seats and small tables to the left side of Home Slice that I just sat down and people-watched. I wonder how long I’ll be here in Austin. It’s got great people and places.
If you ever roll in to the Clarksville neighborhood of austin, you will be enamored and get a cozy feeling. Bistros and small grocers and wonderful old homes.
I had a chance to get pizza at Cipollina, and it ranks as one of my faves in Austin. They have half-off pizza til 6pm on some days, deal! I enjoyed every aspect of the pizza, it comes out the oven just fantastic. Great crust and ingredients.
Their restaurant is very beautiful and open inside, with large angled mirrors covering the two opposite walls. You can also just grab a wine at the bar. The restaurant uses seasonal ingredients, which can keep things interesting.
Can’t wait to go again!
It’s always nice to get an unexpected extra. Especially when it comes to food. The most frequent example I’ve encountered is at Wendy’s when you get the 6th chicken nugget. Love that feeling! But what about when you get an extra pizza?? Yup, you bet I was excited. And really full after.
I ordered a sausage slice, and a brocoli+ricotta slice. Ended up getting an extra of the latter. I barely finished all three (didn’t eat the last crust). Love Home Slice, excellent as usual.
Oh check out those crayon drawings of Lemmy. No idea who he is (should I?…)
A few of my friends are totally into finding cheap eats around town. Happy hours are great, and if you don’t really drink then you get awesome meals for not much break in the bank.
Ordered a Calamari and Mussels for apps. Calamari was freaking AMAZING.
For the pizzas we ordered a Margherita and a Gorgonzola/Arugula/Pear/Walnuts. The margherita was very ho-hum. No buffallo mozz or sliced tomatoes. And basil was sliced thin.
The gorgonzola pizza was quite good. You can actually taste the pear chunks. I found pears as a topping kind of odd, but it defo works on pizza. yum! Compared to a similar pizza at zpizza, this was much better.
Checked out this place which is near the new AMD site. It is kind of like a coffee shop / restaurant with very modern furniture. Lots of white and interesting lighting and chandaliers. There was also a guy with no legs playing guitar and singing awesomely well.
Got a margherita and pepperoni pizza. Very cheesy, though the pizza was alright. Kind of like CraigO’s pizza, but not as tasty in the dough (which is why I loved CraigO’s). Check out the photos. I’m looking forward the Albanezze (albanian sausage), but they ran out when I was there.
I’ve been here quite a lot recently (five times in the last month! I get on days that I had dance class, which is in the neighborhood). Little Deli is just awesome everytime. I love the staff there, the outside seating, and of course the pizza is delicious beyond belief.
There’s a small grocer on the other side, which reminded me of Nau’s Enfield drug store (they serve up some badass burgers). I went inside once…I always thought it would be cool to have a local grocery store to pick up stuff.
Not going to say any more, just take a look at the photos. If you haven’t been yet, get up from your chair and get yourself some Little Deli today!
Enjoy your life, enjoy your slice.
Went to reverse happy hour at Kona with a friend. Happy hours are great. And Kona has a nice selection of apps, like calamari, dumplings, etc. And their sushi is great. But one thing to remove from their list is their Pizza. It was god-awful. I forgot my camera so used my blackberry. But then, this pizza didn’t even deserve a real photo.
Not to be confused with zpizza. This tiny lil shop on anderson lane and anderson mill just opened up. It’s colorful inside and even had those 25cent red vending machines where you get toys or tattoos.
When I looked at their menu, I first thought myself that the prices were suuuuuper value priced. The other thing I noticed was the ingredients. This is what real Mexican pizza should be (and not the one at Taco Bell, which I actually love as well). I got a freaking Al Pastor pizza, where else can you find that?? Pizza was soft crust, and delicious cold. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It really doesn’t taste like other pizza, but if you’re looking for Taco-flavor in a flat box, head over to Zi Pizza!
