The Backspace is Austin’s first Neapolitan pizzeria, founded in 2010 with it's first location in down town Austin.
The Backspace highlights the best of Italy. Our pizzas are made with Italian-imported flour and tomatoes to reflect Neapolitan-style standards and then cooked in our wood fired brick oven

The Backspace - Anderson brings all the best parts of the original downtown location to Crestview

    Food was subpar and service was nonexistent and rude when they did show up. Fiancés food came 20 minutes after everyone else (and only after we followed up with our waiter). Save your money and go somewhere else!

    We’ve gone to the downtown Backspace for years, but this was our first visit to this location. It was just as great an experience. Pizza, meatballs, and the arancini (a new one for us) were superdelicious, as usual. Atmosphere / ambience was delightful and calm, with good spacing, and not much noise. The food came very quickly, and the server was quite attentive. We will definitely come up from south Austin again :)
