You like us, you REALLY like us!

Hey Austin Chronicle Readers! Thank you so so much for voting us Austin’s Best Pizza again this year. We are  flattered and so grateful for your loyalty and patronage. In return, we promise to continue to serve you delicious, authentic, NY-style pizza while we try to exceed your expectations on every level: food, service and fun. No resting on our laurels yet!

You also helped put us at #11 in the Favorite Restaurant list, our highest place ever! Woo hoo! See for yourself: Austin Chronicle Reader’s Poll Results

It’s been a great week for press, as we were also included in an Austin American Statesman article on the cover of the business section last Sunday. Want to read how much it cost to quadruple our oven space in a 1950’s building that had holes in the roof and one tiny, sputtering window unit? You may be surprised, but it has been well worth it to allow us to say yes to our customers more often: Yes we are open Tuesdays, yes you can have your take out pie in 20 minutes, yes we can feed your hungry baseball team. Yes! Yes! Yes!

2009 Austin Chronicle Restaurant Poll results

You guys rule and we’re grateful you like us. We were also voted #17 in the favorite restaurant poll. We’re so glad to have you all come down and make this such a great place to hang out and eat.

Rock out with your slice hot,

Home Slice 

Home Slice wins “Best Cheap Date” in the Austin Chronicle’s Best of Austin Reader’s Poll

This is what The Austin Chronicle said about us:

Best Cheap Date: TIE: Home Slice Pizza, Alamo Drafthouse

Only in Austin can two of the hippest homegrown places to grab a beer and a slice of pie or canoodle during a flick also be the most economical date places. Home Slice, with its delectable pies by the slice and cold brews by the pitcher, holds the title for when you want to see and be seen. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is perfect for when the lights are low and being seen isn’t as important as what you’re seeing. The potential “cheap date” label incited by such economical lifesavers as beers by the bucket and big bowls of popcorn (to accidentally brush hands in) is lost among the immeasurable coolness factor.
