I remember eating at this far-South Austin pizzeria about a year ago, but don’t remember quite so much how the pizza was (I did manage to rummage some photos of the place – the things you find on your external HD after years!). I went to re-visit Mangeieri’s, which is located at Slaughter and Escarpment, in the Circle C neighborhood. I went in to order a 10″ Margherita to take back to my place.
Tall ceilings, wine-red/black motif gives a classier appearance yet has a nice casual feel. Several parties dining in on a Monday night, and they have a selection of wine to go with your pizza.
Impressions: The dough was waaay soft – perhaps the softest crust so far in Austin – and taste was very reminiscent of Little Caeasa’rs Crazy Bread but with strong hints of garlic. Check out the second photo, you can see a little sponginess on the underside. I actually love Little Caesar’s (Michigan, what!!), though for a Margherita from a non-chain pizzeria, I expected more. Toppings were even, taste just ok. The sauce was very good, not an overwhelming flavor.
Soooooo….If you like Little Caesar’s, you might want to give Mangieri’s a try – just expect to pay a lot more (The 10″ pizza came out to just over $10). Come for a dining experience and order a glass a wine with your pizza.
That’s all for now, pizza friends. Enjoy your life, and enjoy your slice :)
