Lefty's Pizza Kitchen Austin 18101 State Highway 71, Austin, TX 78738

"I am from Chicago, and this is really delicious authentic pizza. The kind you would get at a neighborhood place in Chicago. You know this because the pizza is cut into squares! It is our favorite pizza place in Austin. So delicious. We have been here several times, and it is always very tasty. It is our weekend go-to!"

"Absolutely amazing!! My husband LOVES deep dish and said “second best pizza I’ve ever had” - first being a place in Chicago. That’s saying a lot! Best pizza I’ve ever had. Not just saying that either. Go hungry! The owner was personable and super nice. We will be back!"

"Unfortunately we had a pretty ordinary experience at Lefty's at least a couple of time - the most recent being today. We ordered a simple order of hot chicken wings which had several issues - waiting too long and then the wings came out either burnt or not done. Please see the image attached. Very disappointed as we want the neighborhood pizzeria to succeed. But the attention to service and quality needs a lot of improvement."

"It took me awhile to rate this 5 stars, as I was hovering on 4 stars for a bit, but 5 stars became the only choice when my wife and I had the leftovers three times... which were excellent each time. Really, what more can one ask for from a pizza place? Thus, to the experience... Website is pretty good, although I was a bit confused as to "what" pies they offer...other than two pre-made choices. Particularly to this regard, I was not certain how to make my own pizza, so I selected the Italian sausage variety. I called in, and service was friendly and professional, and they even assisted me with directions. When I arrived, I found the establishment clean and well-lit. The service continued to be friendly throughout as I patiently waited to pick up my pizza at the proscribed time. I ordered the deep-dish style, 16" for around $35. When I received it, I noticed how heavy it was and knew in terms of portion - I was getting my money's worth. The pizza itself was excellent, with plenty of marinara (which was not too sweet), plenty of delicious cheese, fresh toppings, and a pleasant watery finish to the crust which indicated a true, freshly made pie. My only criticism was that the pizza was a bit undercooked in the middle, which was probably a facet of it's size and deep-dish nature. The greatest compliment I can pay a restaurant is to say it was well worth my time and hard-earned money, and I intend to return."
