In a delightful homage to culinary excellence, Vagabond Pizza stands as a beacon of gastronomic artistry. Nestled unassumingly in its locale, this pizzeria transcends the mundane, crafting experiences that rival the finest dining establishments. The moment one steps inside, the aroma of perfectly charred dough, melding harmoniously with fresh, vibrant ingredients, captivates the senses. The Lucia pizza, a testament to simplicity, dazzles with its flawless balance of spice from the jalapeno jam and savory sweetness from the salami. Each bite reveals a symphony of flavors, where the crust, a delicate dance between crispness and chewiness, serves as the ideal canvas. Dessert, often an afterthought in many pizzerias, here becomes an event. The honeybee, with its fluffy pastry and cloud like filling blended effortlessly with the honey. Vagabond Pizza is not merely a place to eat; it is a journey into the heart of culinary passion. Each pie crafted with meticulous care, every ingredient thoughtfully selected, Vagabond Pizza reminds us that true artistry in food can be found in the most unexpected places. This establishment is a triumphant ode to the power of simple, well-executed cuisine.

We love Vagabond! Their wood-fired pizza is amazing - the crust was perfectly crispy non the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside, and the smoky flavor from their wood-fire oven is great. I’m used to wood-fired pizza being dry and too crispy but theirs has been perfectly cooked every time. My husband loves the Lucia pizza (that jalapeño jelly drizzle 🔥) but my favorite so far has been the Maria that has a surprisingly delicious egg yolk sauce. The first time I visited, they had an elote arancini appetizer that was out of this world (a fried street corn risotto ball?! Yes, please!). We’ve always been too full to try dessert but their dessert specials always look incredible! They obviously pour a lot of passion, skill, and creativity into their food. We have been so impressed each visit with the quality of their food, the service, and the atmosphere (love that you can see their brick oven in the corner of the dining room!) - a small business in downtown Abilene that is easy to support. If you haven’t tried them yet, I highly recommend it!

Vagabond pizza downtown for lunch. Far more spacious inside than it looks from outside. Seated quickly, our server was quite nice in the beginning then perhaps got a bit distracted. Pizza arrived very promptly, My daughter had the Margherita, while I prefer sliced tomatoes they use a more generic crushed tomato sauce. The basil was fresh and quite aromatic. I had the Mona- described as "ground beef, mozzarella, toum garlic sauce, arugula, vinaigrette" the garlic was very forward but overall it just tasted like well seasoned beef. Bread, sauce, vinaigrette- just wasn't much going on. It's a great idea, and certainly wasn't bad - just wanted some small WOW! For those prices, shouldn't be just ok. We did have a bit of trouble with paying out and getting change but the owner handled it well. Overall, it's a nice vibe and very well executed space. Beer selection is nice. I will probably give it another chance.

Been wanting to try this place out for awhile and I am sure glad I did. I came for dinner with my family and tried both the Sofia and Lucia pizzas. The Sofia was your typical sausage and pepper pizza - good flavor! Now the Lucia, that one was my favorite. I still have dreams about this one. It has salami, garlic, mozzarella, and jalapeño jelly. Let me tell you - WOW! The combination of these ingredients make the pizza sweet and spicy, while still tasting like an actual pizza. Big fan! I definitely wanna come back just for this pizza alone. All in all - you can't go wrong with anything here because the pizzas are scratch-made using natural ingredients. The sizes are great, the food comes out fast, and the service is great. Highly satisfied with my visit!

When we walked into Vagabond pizza we were greeted with the Southern hospitality Texas is known for-thank, you Jessica! The atmosphere here is amazing. Unless you arrive at 5 pm when they open-be prepared to wait. The wait was worth it! We loved the 3 pizzas we ordered. My daughters were still talking about it the next day! They like to consider themselves pizza connoisseurs and 100% said they would return. We love to support small businesses and the quality and customer service they provide was a testament to the hard work of the owners. We are new to town and they were so welcoming. Many blessings and continued success to this fine establishment. Do yourself a favor and visit Vagabond pizza.

What a great pizza! This place in Abilene is very similar to Cane Rosso that many people will be familiar with in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Amazingly friendly staff greets you in and out of the establishment. I sat at the bar by the oven and watched all the pizza action. The bartender was knowledgeable about all of the beers on tap and made suggestions when asked. They have a small but solid craft beer selection and multiple wines by the glass/bottle. The pizzas are outstanding. Definitely worth the stop if you are driving through Abilene and want to grab a great pizza. They also sell t-shirts, hoodies, and ball caps. If you want a souvenir.
