The most unbelieveably good pizza in a town full of average pizza. The food and the service are consistently excellent.
- Pros: Excellent taste, Great service
- Cons: Too few locations
Great Pizza

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.

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

I was looking forward to some different pizza... neither my wife nor I finished one slice... so much basil it almost tasted like mint, and the main topping appeard to be campbell's tomato soup.
gimme Conan's Savage on whole wheat ANY day of the week, and I'm done experimenting with new pizza places.
- Pros: none
- Cons: yucky pizza
This place is a joke

If I could give this place no stars, I would. It's pretty obvious that anyone who has ranked this pizza higher than one star has never had a real chicago stuffed pizza, and probably ranks Mr. Gatti's right up there among the best pizza they've ever eaten. A real chicago stuffed pizza takes about an hour to cook not 20 minutes, and most importantly a slice of it CANNOT be picked up and eaten by hand. The crust on this piece of joy was a crisp flour crust (no sign of corn meal), the toppings were dominosesque, the cheese had actually hardened up in the pie when it came out to us, and it should have spilled out like molten lava. And worst of all the sauce tasted like Ragu with a splash of cayenne added just to make things interesting. Bottom line, I hate this place and also anyone who has ranked it high just because you are associated with perpetuating the myth that Mangia has decent pizza. I'm continually amazed at how bad the pizza is here in austin/round rock compared to everywhere else I've ever lived. If there are any transplants out there who have ever lived outside of Texas and can give advice on a good pizza place you found here, I would love to here about it.
- Pros: none
- Cons: everything
Chicago-style pizza with a Southwest Flare
by katy_snell

This Austin landmark chain has a laid-back feel and a friendly, if off-beat, staff. The pizzas come in a variance of sizes and styles, and specializes in picante, salsa and Southwestern dishes. But perhaps the best part is that you can bring your own beer or wine to compliment whatever pizza you order.
- Pros: Tasty deep-dish and a lively ambiance.
- Cons: Because the pizzas are made on the premises, it sometimes takes awhile to make them.

I don't know where you people have had pizza that you think this is the best in Austin but it certainly isn't chicago. I would rather eat at pizza hut than eat here again. Nothing was good about it. Sauce was too sweet, canned mushrooms... just not good. Will not return. Ever!
- Pros: Nothing!!!!!!!!!!
- Cons: Speaking of "cons" this place is a con calling it chicago style pizza
Try Rudino's for Chicago style pizza, Mangia's is way off

Why they even have Chicago in their name is beyond me. Sauce is bad, toppings nothing special, meat average. How this place is voted best in Austin is scary.. If you here you're better off having a cesar salad; it was decent!
- Pros: Salad was ok
- Cons: Canned mushrooms are the worst get a clue Mangia!
Bad customer service

I was craving a stuffed spinach Mangia's Pizza tonight so I called at 6:30pm and placed a pick up order. They told me it would be read in 25-30 minutes. I got there around 7:05 and it was not ready. At 7:20pm we found out they had not even put the pizza in the oven. At 7:30pm when the order still was not ready we asked for our money back so we could leave. We told the manager that the order was placed an hour ago and he told us that our order must have been overlooked and it would only be 15-20 more minutes! I've always been a fan of Mangia's but I don't think I'll be going back after this experience.
- Cons: Customer Service
Best pizza in Austin? Then I'm afraid to taste the rest of them...

Tried this place simply for the fect that it was rated high on this list (plus it has our hometown in the name). The sauce was like a canned spaghetti sauce. Cheese was ok. Mushrooms, canned.
The menu was large so perhaps other items are better. The pizza is just not that great (especially if you're used to a good pizza like in the east or midwest). Rudino's is much better on 620 & Volente.
Oh how I miss my Lou Malnati's in Chicago!
- Pros: Service was friendly & attentive
- Cons: Not chicago style pizza!
