Mangia Pizza-Guadalupe

Wow!!

by cashious_chic at Citysearch

I went to the new Gracy Farms/Mopac location to pick up our pizza & boy was I impressed! We ordered a deep dish & I love how they put the sauce on top of the pizza. It's a little messy, but changing the order of the ingredients does wonders. And the sauce is the perfect marriage of zesty, sweet & peppery flavors. Lots of all the toppings, sauce, cheese, sausage & black olives. Will definitely go back for more! Probably won't eat in the restaurant b/c there are lots of kids & families.

• Pros: yummy pizza
• Cons: busy/families

Pizza of the Gods!!

by jcorgidog at Citysearch

(Guadalupe location): Don't go for the ambience... there is none! No tables, either (except for the picnic tables in the parking lot!) Nothing fancy here. But the pizza... wonderful! Tangy, fresh pizza sauce, gooey cheese, and several other fillings of your choice. The edge crust is light and crisp, unlike anything I've ever had before.

Good pizza. That's all.

Go have fun and have a great pie! Not the best pizza ever, but it is certainly among the top five in Austin.

• Pros: Good pizza
• Cons: expensive

Fantastic Pizza

by jason_phillips at Citysearch

As usual, a good place is getting trashed by those who obviously don't know how to enjoy themselves and live a little. I don't know if Mangia's could be considered 'authentic', but what is really authentic when you start splitting hairs to such a degree?

What they do is simply make outstanding pizza pies. They are a substantive experience, probably best eaten with a knife and fork. Literally, these pies are about 2 inches tall, with a full 1 and 1/4 inches of sauce and ingredients. They are a little pricey, but it is well worth it.

They deliver in the surrounding area.

• Pros: Great pizza PIES

It's okay

by plissken at Citysearch

With all of the raving by everyone I work with, I thought it would be exceptional. However, I found that it was just perhaps average, and in fact, a little bland. The absolute BEST pizza I've had yet in the Austin area is from a little place in Georgetown called the Brooklyn Pie Co. Oh my gosh, now THAT is amazing pizza! Full of flavor, MUCH better than Mangia, hands down.

• Pros: thick pizza, good toppings
• Cons: inconvenient location, food is just "okay", questionable service

Mangia Pizza

by bearcub137 at Citysearch

While I have not been to the location on Guadalupe, I have been to the Meas restaurant and was extremely disappointed. The service was sub-standard, the food was cold and over priced. This establishment is over rated and is not a good value.

• Pros: location
• Cons: expensive, poor service, sub-standard food

Great Pizza for Texas

by David_A at Citysearch

I am from near Chicago and this is the best deep dish pizza I have found in Austin. The service has always been great along with the food.

• Pros: Deep Dish Pizza, Service, Good Value
• Cons: Sometimes Crowded

Yummy Pizza - We are hooked!

by sddeshotels at Citysearch

We have tried other places, but keep coming back to Mangia. The pizza is outstanding. The sauce is awesome and they are very consistent with food quality. We don't go for the service... as a matter of fact, they stay out of our way so we can stuff our faces with the best pizza in Austin. Can you say "franchise?"

cardboard crust

by virg at Citysearch

I have eaten there a couple of times and both times the crust was inpenetrable. I literally had to stab it with a knife to get a piece off. EXTREMELY FLAVORLESS!!! It is ridiculously priced as well. I think I would love Chicago pizza as long as this isn't it.

• Pros: nice waitstaff, cheap beer, prompt seating
• Cons: price, bad crust, not enough stuffing

What the hack are you thinking?

by ldopa1 at Citysearch

Just like a threat of snow in Texas, Austinites have never HAD Chicago style pizza. This stuff is tripe!

• Pros: Big, Hot
• Cons: $$$$$$$ - Expensive, Lousy, Fake
