DAY 30b: OCTOBER 30th, 2016

LOCATION: Pieous Pizza (12005 W Hwy 290, Austin, TX 78737)

GUEST(S): Robin Rothman

ORDER: 1/2 of a Margherita

REVIEW: 
VPN in Hill Country. Where the highway meets the hills on the outskirts of Austin, Texas might soon be the prime destination for authentic Naples style pizza thanks to Pieous. Certified Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) each pizza at Pieous abides by strict preparation guidelines from how the dough is stretched, to specific bake time and temperature in the wood-fired brick oven. The high quality ingredients are sourced locally and the fresh mozzarella is made in house. Something else made in house is their mouth-watering pastrami. Although it is not recommended as a topping due to its powerful flavor profile, a pizza and a side of pastrami make a great meal. Save some room for the delectable desserts if you can.  The word is out, so lines do form often, but the friendly staff and cool music makes the wait during the rush a lot more palatable. The pizza, [dessert] pies, and pastrami are such a tasty trinity, you may just have a religious experience at Pieous.
