"Not to rest on their laurels, the people behind the excellent Neapolitan pizzeria Bufalina and Bufalina Due have opened a brand new spot, Palm Pizza on Cesar Chavez in East Austin. Cooked in a gas-fired steel deck oven, the 18-inch pizzas are classic New York-style pies, with a thin, crispy crust, and they’re spectacular. The pizzas taste of New York City (but maybe with less grit and pigeon). A takeout operation for now, the pizzas are only available by pre-order. But the plan is to eventually open a couple of patio spaces—there is no dining room for dine-in. So for now you’ll have to either eat slices out of the trunk of your car, or race home to scarf it all down." - Raphael Brion
