Brick Oven

The Vibe

You've picked a good one with Brick Oven. It's a solid Austin staple, especially if you're craving some quality Italian-American fare in a relaxed setting. Most folks head there for the pizzas, which are consistently excellent, but their pasta dishes and the lasagna are also really popular. The best move is to aim for a weeknight, or if you go on a weekend, try to get there right when they open to snag a spot on their patio; the outdoor seating is where it really shines, with string lights and a nice buzz. Parking can be tight in that area, so consider ridesharing or look for street parking a block or two away. It’s a great spot for a casual date night or a family dinner, and with its consistent 4.7-star rating, you really can’t go wrong.
