"Bufalina has been Austin’s original cool-kid pizza-and-natural-wine spot since it opened in East Austin in 2013. With bare Edison bulbs and unfinished walls, it always felt kind of like an underground clubhouse, but with esoteric wines alongside classic and sometimes unconventional Neapolitan pies. The pizzas are great, but the devastatingly excellent pastas transform Bufalina from a simple pizza joint into an Italian restaurant worth waiting for a table in a parking lot in the blazing Texas summertime sun for an unreasonable amount of time." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
