This review comes to us courtesy of Pizzahunt.net. Thanks Brandon for sending it in, and we look forward to seeing more of your reviews here.
So let’s get to work. I didn’t know what to expect from the onion as I have only been in Austin for 4 days. I hope I lose no credit in the hood as pizza is pizza. As I walked up to the place I am trying to take it all in. I can’t stop thinking about the onion magazine. Are they fans of the magazine? Do they just love the taste of onions? Trying to remember anything and everything since I was not planning on starting today. As we walked in we were greeted as if I was walking to my best friend’s house for a party. You are quick to notice it’s a two man show and they aren’t trying to be the prettiest or fanciest place in town. They are two guys making an honest pizza.
Now I am not one for slices unless its 2am and drunk to the point where everything sounds like a great idea. So we skipped the slices that looked good and waited it out for a whole pie. While waiting for our pie, I couldn’t help but notice the people coming in and out and how the guys treated everyone. They had a pretty busy lunch with the local workers coming in for a quick slice to go. I noticed they never ran out of pizza and no slice sat to long, again 2 guys answering phones, taking orders, greeting people, getting slices, making more pizzas and hey even delivering. It was pretty great to see.
Mangia Chicago Stuffed Pizza is located at the Austin Airport. When I saw the sign that said it was like $5.00 a slice I had to waste my money to see if it was worth even $0.50 a slice. Low and behold, it was closer to being worth $0.25
Death Metal Pizza! That is exactly what this place was named. For a kid who grew up on thrash metal, this place was almost too good to be true! It was dark, dreary, and playing ridiculously loud death metal. So loud it almost made it impossible to stay and eat. You wanted to just take your food and leave….That is if you didn’t love death metal, like me.
