What people say, in short
Favorite Pizza on West Sixth earns recommendations for New York-style slices and its crust. Fans rank it among their Austin favorites, and some value its slice deals. Consistency is the main qualification: a commenter reports stronger pizza later in the week, while another describes a wider gap between good and ordinary days. A dissenter dislikes the pizza outright.
