Pizza Paradise — Restaurant in Austin

UPDATE: It is now 2023. You apparently cannot order by phone and they seem to have sold to some conglomerate that doesn’t care about clear communication. After living here for 6 years it really is the final nail in the coffin for our local pizza place. RIP

I’ve been ordering from pizza paradise for 3 years now without issue. Their pizza was always good and the ranch perfection. Unfortunately they sold the business May 2020 to someone who does not understand pizza. They changed the dough AND sauce recipes, apparently in order to remove any flavor or seasonings from them. There was barely any sauce to be found on my pizza and whatever there was flavorless. The crust was...hard to eat. Completely devoid of taste and much crispier than non-thin-crust pizza crust should be. The only saving grace is that they don’t seem to have changed the toppings so the cheese and pepperoni are still good.

I’m so disappointed in the direction these new owners seem to be taking what has been a pretty solid small pizza place. Hopefully they take these concerns seriously and pick up some oregano and basil maybe even...

I ordered around 6:20pm and was told my food was going to be ready in 30 minutes. When I arrived to pick up the food, they said my order wasn’t in their system and only half of my order was ready. I ordered a meat lovers pizza with spinach, mozzarella sticks, a chicken tender plate and a Philly. They didn’t notice the sandwich in the order so that was late and a very small portion for just a sandwich after it was presented to me. All of the food was ice cold, the chicken tenders and the fries were tasteless and blended in with the fries and the mozzarella sticks had no cheese pull whatsoever and had a burnt taste to them. I was not provided sauce for the sticks or the chicken tenders despite requesting them in the order. The pizza was extremely salty and cold and not cut into squares as requested either. Paying $62 for food that I thought was going to be efficient and tasty because they’re right across the street was a mistake that I will make for the first...

WHOA! I thought for sure calling for delivery at 10:15 on a Friday night would produce some soggy greasy pizza...but I was hungry. WAS I WRONG! the ingredients were super fresh..their sauce is kinda chunky and has a GREAT garlic flavor. We got the butter garlic crust seasoning and it was wondrous! We wanted thin crust but they were out in the XL size so we settled for the orig. crust and I don't think we will EVER order thin crust...the crust was just as great as the pizza! We had the Hawaiian without the bacon(but with Canadian bacon) and red onions on half. It was SUPER yummy..the BBQ wings were also really good! And they have Hidden Valley Ranch..not the other crappy kind other pizza joints serve. The guy on the phone was very nice and the delivery driver was VERY polite (he said he was late and apologized for it but we didn't notice)all in all I HIGHLY recommend...
