The Backspace
Austin, Texas
Whether it's the toppings, the oven, or the crust, it takes a little something special to make a pizza memorable. At The Backspace, it's a combination of all three. This smallish eatery boasts a wood-burning oven that cranks the heat up to 1,000 degrees, requiring a specially-formulated crust that blisters wonderfully when cooked. The toppings are fairly typical — margherita, sausage, pepperoni, roasted mushrooms — but are always super-fresh, and are joined on the menu with a variety of salads, charcuterie, antipasti, and a healthy selection of wines and beers.
