Rockin Tomato Pizza Co

The pizza is great with a price to match. We were talking about making a family tradition and my six year old said, "Our family tradition should be to eat at Rockin' Tomato some Saturdays." Not exactly what I had in mind, but challenge accepted. I agree with other reviewers that the vibe does not match the quality of the pizza.

They have so much potential. The pizza and ingredients are quite good and fresh with many ingredients being supplied by the local Johnson Backyard. They have a respectable gluten-free crust as well. That is why the four stars. Average wines. The decor is a bit challenging with pool tables and video games consuming space that could be better used. A name like Rockin' Tomato you would think they would actually have live music most of the week. Nope. The stage is empty. The food is good. The restaurant has a brand identity problem.

I met the owners of this place while hiking in Yosemite a few years back (some twin brothers). This is my third time visiting to try and meet up with them and today is their birthday!! Well guys, I love the pizza and the beer and everything else is fantastic!! Someday I will find you here in the mean time I'll keep buying your pizza!! haha

While there are pizza joints all over South Austin, we love this neighborhood mainstay. You get a choice of 4 crusts (my favorite is the slightly charred NY style) with plenty of topping options for meat- and veggie-lovers alike. Great draft beer selection and always-friendly service, plus pool and video games if you need some entertainment.

I would have easily given them a 5 star rating, as this was my favorite pizza place in Austin, but they stopped the lunch buffet recently. While the food is still amazing and the mostly-locally-grown salad bar is a treat, the buffet was one of the best deals in Austin. Please Rockin' Tomato, think of the children!

I've been in Austin 8 years and have eaten my share of pizza from a number of places; in fact, probably more than my share. I have to say Rockin' Tomato's Detroit-style deep pan pizza is my favorite pie of anything I've eaten in Austin. My wife, who in 10 years in Chicago had her share of great pizza, feels the same way. We nearly always have it delivered so I can't really speak to the restaurant itself (I've only been inside once) but from my view the Detroit-style pizza is great and the service has always been friendly.
