Great Pizza

by JimTremoz

I don't really know or care much about what is and what isn't "authentic Chicago Deep Dish Pizza"

What I do know, is that I really love Mangia's Pizza. If for no other reason than that they use quality cheese, and I like their crust.

It is expensive, but a small deep dish will feed 1 person for 2 days. little bit really goes a long way. The thin crust is also quite tasty, and I like their sauce.

I see a lot of unhappy reviews.. and I can sympathize with those who've dealt with non-stellar service. A couple months ago, I stood at the counter waiting to pickup and py for my called in pizza for 20 minutes! while 2 employees told me someone would help me (not them for some reason) and while the guy who was to help me carried on a phone conversation with someone who he said was "The Owner.. who was intoxicated"

Well, I've gotta believe if he was talking to the owner, and even if the owner was intoxicated, he'd still want the employee to help the customer first.

• Pros: tasty Pizza, quality ingredients.
• Cons: inconsistent service

Chicago style pizza

by pigeonholetom

Mangia is the closest to Chicago stuff crust style pizza in Austin. No other place comes close on that count. It's not great Chicago style like you'll get in Chicago at Giordinos or Gino's East, but its good and I come here regularly. I don't like the wheat crust, but the regular is good. There's lots of cheeze that doesn't always get cooked in the deep pie. The toppings are usually plenty and the service here is great. I pick up and dine it. their open late at night. They have other items that are good. I've had the salads and the french fries are good. They also have beer and root beer and Dublin Dr. Pepper. I recommend this place.

Great food

by Ausfood

never been to a Mangia restaurant. It was good. As a matter of fact, it was great food. I have never in the past reviewed restaurants but recently started and see it a great tool to share my experiences with my fellow diners. I've never been so full in my life. Good prices with good service. Top notch.

• Pros: food
• Cons: scene, not so much
