Southside Flying Pizza | Our Story

Twenty years on South Austin

For 20 years, Southside Flying Pizza has been part of the fabric of Austin. Our independent restaurant serves big portions, high-quality ingredients, and food made with care. Located on Lamar Avenue at Lamar Square, just south of Alamo Drafthouse, we're proud to be part of the South Central Austin community.
Born on South Lamar, built by the neighborhood

We opened in one of Austin's most eclectic neighborhoods and never looked back — a neighbor's kitchen, a community hangout, where the "gifted, goofy, and goosey" always feel at home.
The dough is everything

The dough is everything

We make our dough from scratch on-site every day, toss it by hand, and bake it on a hearth disk — cooked from without and within. Golden outside, pillowy inside, sturdy enough for everything we pile on top.
Thirty toppings, zero boring pies

The Southsider piles on pepperoni, ham, sausage, and three cheeses. The Athena goes Mediterranean with Kalamata olives and feta. The King of Pepperoni is exactly what it sounds like.
A giant slice is a commitment

Our slices come from a quarter of a 16-inch pie — they hang off the plate and demand two hands. People make the drive specifically for them.
Still here, still scratch-made

Two decades in, we're still independently owned, still making everything by hand, and still supporting local artists and schools. We're not going anywhere.
