Rudino's Pizza

EXTREMELY pleased when I finally went to this restaurant. Fast, friendly service; awesome pizza and great price! Rudino's has to be one of the best pizza place in town. I was lucky enough to go pretty early in the day so I didn't have to worry about waiting too long. As soon as my boyfriend and I went in we grabbed a menu and started hunting for the perfect pizza. We were not serviced right away but the young lady in back was obviously doing something and told us she would be with us in a bit. By the time we were done looking; she was there and ready to take our order. We went with the Smokey Alfredo pizza and some Cheesy Fries (I had to get them someone recommended them here <,<) It was fantastic! A bit on the spicy side so would not recommend if you can hardly handle spicy; but with the new trend of chipotle on everything it was nice to have a different kind of taste to spice things up. After a projected 15 minute wait; we got or food and went. Not able to wait til we got home we tried the fries. Mouthwatering good. The spice on this is almost a sweet and salty and were baked to perfection. And not the mention the colby jack? cheese on them. Next time we are trying the grinders!

Pros: Great Pizza

This place trumps Mangia's / Dominos / PappaJohns / PizzaHu t /CiCi's / etc. Their Royale pizza is SO GOOD as well as their Chicken Royale. I am a big fan of thick crusts with the bottoms slightly crispy so this is my favorite place because they do that so well. I also always get the french fries because they come with this really good seasoning on top. I disagree with what people say about the service. Every time I go, the service is great and you can really tell the people working there love to be there.

This pizza is by far the best pizza we have had in Austin. Tried others and they just don't compare including the Mangia Chicago style location. Their service leaves something to be desired however. Chalk that one up to inexperience I suppose, but it is pretty unorganized. I suggest you go when they're not too busy and do take out.

Pros: Pizza & grinders are the best around

Cons: Need some new servers big time! They are terrible

Most of these reviews are correct.. Rudino's has supurb pizza. They need to get a clue on service however. They serve beer but when you pay for it you have to wait until a server brings it out to you (you order ala fast food yet wait for it to come out to you... think Austin's Java). You would think they would bring the beer out to you asap... instead both times I have been there I have had to ask: where is my beer? Even after the pizza was there. the waitress had no clue that we ordered beer. Wake up Rudino's... your pizza is still worth it but your service is really poor.

Pros: Pizza is really good, like no other place in Austin

Cons: Service is terrible

Good grinders, but even better thin crust pizza. Lots of cheese, good topping choices, finally a good place to eat around 620 & anderson mill.

Pros: Great pizza, they serve beer, long awaited location!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cons: No servers. You order yourself and someone brings it out to you & still expects a tip

Ok, so we move here from Chicago and have been on the hunt for a great thin crust pizza for weeks. A neighbor (also from Chicago) refers us to Rudino's... they are the closest you are going to get to Chicago pizza. We have tried several places in Austin and they just don't get it. Rudino's "gets it"

Pros: Tasty thin crust pizza, as close to chicago as you're going to get

Cons: None

My family loves the pizza, especially the veggie one. The kids especially like the grinders; they are unique. The favorite is the spinach feta grinder. The grownups like the Pappio wine, the bottle for $10. The service has been good whenever we have gone to eat there. Very friendly, hard working, a nice alternative to pizza chain restaurants.

This resturant by far is the best pizza establishment in town! Great pizza, regular prices, great sandwiches and the cinnasticks are to die for! Overall the service was great, friendly people, busy place, and on top of it they had live music on their patio the friday night that we were there. Get a cold pitcher and a couple of pizzas and you are set to go.

I have been here several times and personally love the food and the pizza. Although i have had one or two problems with the service the food is great and the people are friendly everytime. Definatly give this place a try.

The servers do not care at all! Don't waste your time going to this place. It's also over priced.
