Sammataro Pizza

I can see what the dry is for this place. The char is great, crisp is great, undercarriage is great. The service was exceptional. For me a pinch of salt would’ve put this probably at 8 or 8.1 and just a little bit more cheese, would’ve probably put it at another few tenths higher as well. It’s in a bizarre place, and you’ve got a walk a little ways to get to it, but it’s worth it. I would definitely recommend it.

The Big Apple in the Lone Star State…say what?! That’s right, if you are looking for a very solid NYC pie while visiting the capital city of Texas, look no further than Sammataro. Great pie that is cooked over a coal fire. One of the 2 best choices in Bat City…highly recommend!

Wow this was awesome

Worth the drive and the wait. Probably 45 minutes once you order. The first thing that hits is the sauce. It’s fantastic. Next, it’s the crust. Crunchy and chewy. The cheese is fresh and the basil is local. Surprised to find a pie this good in Texas.

Nice and light with a perfect under carriage and crust. The sauce is a little bit sweet in a good way. I can’t help but take into account that for what I paid here I could have gotten 3 pizzas at Marco’s. Overall nice but not worth the trip from Georgetown.

First pizza in Texas is a WOW. Dill ranch was fantastic as well

It's some hybrid between an NY slice and Neopolitan. Has a bit of flop. Sauce is really good. A little bit greasy from the drissle on top.

Here is another pizza review. We’re at Sammataro. Great crisp, a little flop, nice char and undercarriage. Sauce has great flavor. Some parts were beyond charred- a little burnt. But overall an excellent pie. 8.2, that’s a review.

If you have not been here... what are you waiting for???? SO GOOD OMG!!!!

Long wait but worth it. We drove an hour to try it and it was great. Fresh, amazing sauce, crust was perfect. The service was great. We ate inside one of the houses. So far the best pizza in Austin area we have found

Coal fired pizza. Absolutely worth a try in Austin, top 3 in the city. Little inconsistent but has a mix of a Neapolitan/ New Haven feel with the char and cheese blend.

Forgot to take a picture, and maybe it was just an off pie but I couldn’t taste anything but the canned spaghettios from the sauce and while the crust was light and airy it was past the point of charred and was burnt. Was excited for this place but $26 for a cheese pizza that I didn’t like at all is not enticing. 3.4

You can tell quality and freshness of ingredients by how the flavor pops. Dough, sauce cheese are all spot on. Type of pie you don’t feel bad after eating it. Unfortunately they were swamped so think they rushed it a little bit because it was FLOP CITY, was boarder line Neapolitan. If there was any crisp at all it’d be a low to mid 8. Pepperoni and hot honey would have been close to a 9 if had crisp. Great staff and cool spot, by far best pizza in Austin area. Worth the drive if you are anywhere in area visiting.

Excellent! This is probably the best NYC-style pizza in the pizza-starved wasteland ofTexas. I’ve tried a ton of them, the majority never even come close but this one nails it. 7.8 rating for Texas pizza. If Sammataro was in NYC, maybe consider keeping it in the oven a couple more minutes and decrease the amount of olive oil on top, but for Texas this is a top-quality NYC-style pizza. Easy 8.5+ if cooked longer and less oil on top.

This might be second best in Austin behind pedoros love supreme is pretty close behind them if not tied

I recommend getting the vodka pie! I had both the original and vodka, but liked the vodka even better! Great New York style. Basil leaves are a nice touch as well.

Sat in box for a while and it was still delicious!
