User Reviews for The Onion

I am continually amazed and impressed by this small little place that competes with the likes of Roppolo's Pizza, the other pizzeria downtown bent on selling their gummy crust pizza on every corner of downtown when the touristas are out and about. The Onion reminds me of the cool, layed back Austin’s eateries of the past. Places you could go to for good food in a no nonsense atmosphere at a good price. Except for places like Thundercloud’s, The Omelettry and Kirby Lane Café, these places are all but gone from the Austin landscape. The place is an enigma to the back drop of an ever increasingly hostile yuppie atmosphere the downtown area seems to be turning into these days – sigh. The pizza itself compares to the NYC pizza I survived on in the Big Apple for two years: really simple, relatively thin crust (compared to Ropplo’s) and always with fresh ingredients. This pizza is uniquely tasty for the Austin market.
Pros: simple great food at a good price
Cons: small place, but hey, you don't have to live there

I'm not a big pizza fan, but I loved this pizza! The sauce has a nice bite to it, and the crust is just the right thickness. A generous amount of cheese and other fresh toppings, nice crispy salad! I felt right at home, friendly folks. This is a regular stop for me when I'm in the area.
Pros: tops in quality, unique
Cons: couple of more barstools

Best downtown pizza-by-the-slice is right. Tasty! But here's what you gotta do: Call ahead, order some pizza rolls. You can get anything in them that they offer on their regular pies. I'm a meat-lover kinda gal, and let me tell you, pizza rolls meat-lover style here is a can't-miss meal. And two easily fill me up. Order the rolls, go hang at your favorite food-welcoming dive, and you just had the tastiest $10 meal for two downtown. At 1am no less. Bam.
Pros: PIZZA ROLLS, friendly service, pizza rolls
Cons: sketchy delivery times, not open late-night early in the week

They serve the best late night pizza in the downtown area. Expect long lines after 2 PM but its definitely worth the wait. The Margarita Pizza is my personal favorite.
Pros: Great Pizza
Cons: Long Lines
