Real NY Pizza in Austin, TX

Posted by ftepper, July 8, 2007

I found a place with authentic(!!) New York pizza in Austin, TX and needed to share it with the world. The name of the restaurant is Yaghi’s New York Pizzeria and they have 3 locations in Austin. My son and I moved to Austin from the Bronx in April and were lamenting the loss of real pizza or Chinese food (haven’t found that yet!) in Austin when we saw a comment on this place and gave it a try. The owners are originally from Albany and the pizza is definitely the real thing - great thin, crispy crust, foldable slices and real toppings. My son was thrilled to see the little jars of Parmesan and pepper flakes and even happier with the chicken calzone he had them make for him. The website for the restaurant is http://www.yaghisnewyorkpizza.com/
I needed to recommend this place, it was like a little bit of home!!! Any former New Yorkers living in Austin need to know it exists. BTW - If anyone finds NY style Chinese food in Austin (I miss my Singapore Mei Fun!), please let me know.
