Bufalina raised the bar on Austin's pizza scene. Perfectly executed Neapolitan has won the hearts and minds of diners around town. Their salads are expertly sourced as well. [Eater 38 Member]

This elegant Neapolitan-style pizzeria is always packed, but worth the wait. If you’re lucky enough to dine on a night when the mushroom pie makes an appearance, you’d be a damn fool not to order it. Read more

Some of the best pizza in Austin! Stone oven in the middle of the dining area, so it always smells delicious. Very small place, so going at odd hours is your best bet.

The best pizza in Austin. Thin crust Neapolitan pizza made in a wood fired oven. The Tallegio pizza was amazing. Reservations only available for groups of 8-10.

Simple, thin crust Italian style pizza done right. The scallions on the taleggio pizza were delicious. Bibb salad was light and delicious, olive oil cake was refined and tasty!

Bibb salad was amazing, cheese plate spectacular, perfectly poured Zilker beer and one of the best neapolitan pies I've had in the US. Great service and very reasonable prices, 10 out of 10!

worth the wait! order the Bibb Salad (very refreshing) and nduja pizza. the nduja was hands down the best pizza I've ever eaten! also had the fresca, but found it underwhelming for all the hype.

Bibb salad is amazing. The Fresca pizza is to die for. We have become regulars, they know us by name!

Mozzarella is hand-pulled daily. Amazing. The margherita and fresca pizzas are a must. Service is great, atmosphere is low-key and not at all pretentious. New favorite pizza in Austin!

1st come /1st serve. Got quickly seated on a Sunday afternoon (6ish). Some of their starters can pass for main. Loved the rabbit gnocchi and tomato based pizza.

Price $15. Calabrese - tomato, mozzarella, salami, serranos, garlic, basil. Great dough. However I wouldn't try this one again, too spicy, I would go with "Fresca"

Never had anything here that wasn't delicious. The wine list is also solid, interesting and tasty wines with plenty of affordable price points.

Calabrese pizza is my absolute favorite! Also, start with the olives! And that olive oil cake with ice cream? It's a perfect, not-too-heavy dessert!

The best stateside Neapolitan-style pizza I've had outside of NYC. The staff is amazing, and if there's pasta on the starters menu, make sure you order it.

For two: kale salad and one of the pastas or Mozz of day. Two pizzas (make one a fresca). Bottle of rose. Happiness.

Worth the (long) wait on a weekend night. The waitstaff is friendly and accommodating. The crust is what makes the pizza. Order the crostini.

Obviously there's a reason food network showed up here. Be prepared to wait, it's pretty tiny. Whatever you do though, get the margherita and wash 'er down with a local beer

World class Neapolitan pizza with a major oven to prove it. The Caesar salad is an excellent and light interpretation

After seeing Bufalina as one of the top ten pizza places in Austin, particularly their Margherita as the best, I was left a little disappointed.

Finally, legit Neapolitan pizza on the Eastside. Absolutely delish, small communal setting. Instantly rivals Austin's best.

Love the food, but the service has really gone downhill. I'm not sure we'll be back--which really makes me sad, because the food really is good!
