Outlaw Pizza

The kitchen tops a sourdough crust with brisket ragu, beef pepperoni and truffle hot honey, and sends the meatballs out three to a plate: one elk, one pork, one beef.1

Why go

The menu opens like every other pizzeria in town, a few specialty pies, a build your own, slices by the piece, and then the topping list turns Texan: brisket ragu, brisket jam, beef pepperoni, tomato jam, truffle hot honey.12 The crust is sourdough, and the kitchen swaps in a gluten-free base at no extra charge, which almost nobody does.2 The meatball flight comes as one elk, one pork and one beef under melted mozzarella in a sweet, spicy marinara, with toasted focaccia to mop it.12 They dress the caesar with beef fat and finish it with spiced tomato oil.1 Nicolai McCrary wrote the place up for The Infatuation in July 2026 and said plainly in it that he and his colleagues have not eaten there yet.1

Order this / avoid

  • The meatball flight, one each of elk, pork and beef, with the toasted focaccia. Add a dollar if you want the elk on a pizza instead.12
  • A sourdough pie with beef pepperoni, jalapeños and truffle hot honey. That is McCrary's suggested build, offered as a suggestion rather than as a tasting note.1
  • The lasagna pinwheels: brisket ragu, whipped ricotta, mozzarella and munster. McCrary picks them out of the card without having eaten them.21
  • Cheap read of the kitchen: slices run $4.50 for cheese, $5 for pepperoni or vodka, $5.50 for whatever specialty is rotating.2
  • Avoid: treating any of the above as a verdict. The Infatuation, the only publication that has written about this room, says it has not eaten here.1

What locals & experts say

  • The Infatuation Austin lists it without a rating. Nicolai McCrary, page dated 10 July 2026, ends the write-up: We haven't been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists. That is a listing, not a verdict, and it is recorded as one.1
  • The same page on the card: pull back the cheesy curtain at this Crestview restaurant and you'll see toppings like brisket ragu, truffle hot honey, and tomato jam.1
  • The kitchen on itself (house claim, not a verdict): The best pizza in Texas with fresh ingredients, famous sourdough, and Italian inspiration.2

Good to know

  • Hours: 11am to 9pm on the day read, 16 August 2026, from the venue's own page.2
  • Sizes and toppings: 14 and 18 inch pies, standard toppings at $2.50 and $3.50, premium ones at $4 and $5. Brisket jam, brisket ragu, beef pepperoni and beef meatball all sit in the premium tier.2
  • Hygiene: no inspection is on file for this kitchen, which opened in 2026, inside the gap behind Austin Public Health's newest published inspection. The one row the register holds at 1745 W Anderson Ln Unit 6 belongs to The Backspace, a business it marks out of business, and a facility id stays with the kitchen rather than the operator, so that 96 is not this kitchen's.3
  • Getting there: 1745 W Anderson Ln, Suite 6, in Crestview.1

Jeff's take (his words)

  • Note: Not on Jeff's saved list. He named the place on 16 August 2026 and asked for it in the Austin guide.

Verdict

could-visit — The build is the whole case, because no published verdict on the eating exists. The kitchen bakes on sourdough, swaps a gluten-free crust in at no charge, and puts brisket ragu, brisket jam, beef pepperoni, truffle hot honey and tomato jam on the topping list, which is a Central Texas pizzeria taking the city's own meat seriously. The meatball flight runs one elk, one pork and one beef in a sweet spicy marinara with toasted focaccia, and the caesar is dressed with beef fat and spiced tomato oil. Slices go at $4.50 for cheese and $5.50 for the rotating specialty, so a cheap read of the place is available. The Infatuation put it in its New Openings and Hit List guides in July 2026 and said in the same breath that its writers have not eaten there, which is exactly where this sits: worth a look on the strength of what the kitchen is attempting, not on anybody's account of how it tastes.

Order

  • The meatball flight, one elk, one pork and one beef with toasted focaccia
  • A 14 or 18 inch sourdough pie with beef pepperoni, jalapeños and truffle hot honey
  • Lasagna pinwheels of brisket ragu, whipped ricotta, mozzarella and munster
  • The caesar, dressed with beef fat and spiced tomato oil
  • Slices by the piece, cheese at $4.50 and a rotating specialty at $5.50
