The Good Pie

Everybody is different. And, just like art, pizza is subjective. But, I am having trouble recommending places around town for people to try a good pie. Don’t get me wrong, there is good pizza around: House Pizza, Salvation, Home Slice to name a few. I don’t know if anyone has checked lately, but Austin is the 15th largest city in the country. We are emerging as a food force to be reckoned with on the national stage. If we stacked all the food trailers together, they would reach the moon (approximately). Sushi, creative Mexican, the local movement and even hot dogs are ripping up the scene. Hell, I hear that there are a few BBQ places of note. Can a brother get some more pizza options? Artisanal, Napolitano, Haute Cuisine? Why isn’t anyone pushing the envelope?
