My first experience with Rounder’s was after a long day of ACL. And I promised I would return here, curious what their fresh pizza would be like. Well here you have it.

To start off, it’s kinda like Little Caesar’s (I know this may deter some people, but hear me out). Awesome balance of flavor between mozzarella, sauce, and toppings. Pretty greasy, but not overboard. No specialty pies here (unless there’s some secret code…need to ask next time), so you just add ingredients to your base cheese pizza. Sausage aweesome, pepperoni was a treat – it was those old-school small rounded ones that curl up into bowls with puddles of oil. Check out those macro shots! Almost reminded me of Little Deli pizza (my fave so far in Austin), but perhaps a slightly heftier dough and crust. I really liked their pizza. And the leftovers tasted phenomenal the next day!

Rounder’s has a really cool venue too. Old school arcarde games (Galaga, donkey kong, tabletop sega frogger you can eat on), a nice patio deck for when it’s nice out, and some tables have gold cushion-y seats. They were also playing Superbad on their plasma when I was here, so plus points.

I applaud you, Rounder’s. Enjoy your life, and enjoy your slice :)

Rounder’s Pizza After Tiring day of ACL

ACL was a mudfest. I’m sure you’ve heard. It was my first one, and still enjoyed it. But not sure if I’ll go again…just too many people.

My sister was in town, and her bf has a friend that lives downtown, so we just stayed their and walked to Zilker from there. His neighbor in the apt complex was nice enough to order pizza for all of us, and it was already on the table when we got back. Pizza really makes for a good winding down after a day of trekking in mud and rain.

The pizza was pretty good, but kinda cold since it was left out for quite awhile. Gonna have to dine-in there sometime. I always pass by on the way home from downtown.
