Tony C’s Coal Fired Lake Travis Pizza, a few degrees above the rest. Enjoy Austin’s original coal fired, New York style pizza, Italian cuisine, great wine & a full bar in a fun modern and convenient location.

The perfect place for a quick lunch, happy hour on the patio or an unforgettable dinner. Next to Cinemark Theatre in the Hill Country Galleria.

Coal fired, hearthstone ovens are the only ovens that can deliver a true New York style pizza. Anthracite coal burns cleaner than wood and is environmentally friendly.

Our coal ovens are ignited hours before the first ‘pie’ hits the deck and must be tended throughout the day to insure perfection.

Fresh ingredients, authentic pizza sauce, and a coal oven burning at nearly 1000 degrees is what makes Tony C’s Austin’s most AUTHENTIC and ORIGINAL coal fired pizza. Terriffic Italian food, one of Austin’s best Italian restaurants.

My wife and I’s oft selected Italian dining in the Hill Country Galleria was becoming stale and salty, so we chose the nearest, best rated Italian restaurant – Tony C’s, a franchise, apparently, located next to the Cinemark.

We went for lunch, and were greeted with a perfect number of customer/server ratio, with a few gentlemen seated at the bar contentedly eating and drinking while watching a game on a not too loud television.

We selected a table and received very attentive and professional service from both staff and management (the family who own the franchise, I believe) and selected two lunch slices of pizza and a split Caesar salad for both of us.

The food arrived in a timely fashion and was… pretty great, but not excellent.
Specifically, the Caesar salad had too much dressing anf the pizza is not quite there – meaning, on every aspect of “pizza,” (sauce, crust, cheese, toppings) it was four stars out of five.

Management informed us because it was our first time visiting, we were entitled to their Italian beignets served with honey.
These were excellent and highly recommended.

We both ate with a coke for me under $25.

The restaurant ambience was good, and the restroom was clean.

Fast and friendly service. We were a party of 5 and got to sit outside in the patio. First time experience was definitely 5 star. The food was delicious and better than expected for the price. We ordered calamari, toasted ravioli, and garlic fries as appetizers. It was happy hour so the appetizers were $3 off. For our main course we ordered 2 large 16″ pizzas that were very tasty, filling, and authentic. It was my daughter’s birthday and the manager brought out the best unexpected desserts to close out our birthday lunch. Absolutely wonderful service and food.

Great casual Italian restaurant in the bee cave/lakeway area! They have one of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had. Sometimes it takes a while for the wait staff to check on you, but the food always comes out fairly quickly. Max the waiter/bartender is outstanding!

I took my granddaughter to Tony C’s before a movie. We sat at the bar because they were pretty busy! Jamie took care of us and he was amazing! I had a glass Kings Estate Pinot Gris, delicious. My granddaughter-a picky eater, loved her slice of pepperoni pizza. I snacked on toasted ravioli. I highly recommend Tony C’s! Great pizza! Great atmosphere! Great service!!

Our whole family headed over to Tony C’s after Thanksgiving. They were so accommodating – long table upstairs. Wonderful waiter, delicious pizzas (5 different ones), and a nice visit from the manager.

Super great here! Speedy service and excellent food. I really appreciate the effort the employees put in to making our experience here as wonderful as it was. Quick refills for drinks! I had the margarita pizza and it was delicious, and I would definitely recommend the zucchini as a starter dish.

I didn’t think to ask my servers name but I sat at the bar, today. Service was TOP NOTCH. Started with a wine flight that was served to me beautifully. Then ate the lunch special of the half Cesar and a slice of the day (killer for 11.99). food was amazing but I have to say the service is what really made this an awesome experience. Looking for a nice little lunch or even a fancy sit down dinner? This is the place for sure.

Tony Cs is great! Pizza is delicious and the service is always fantastic. Ask for Max he’s the best!
Chelsea S. , 2 years ago
Delicious food and TOP NOTCH service. We were lucky to get Max two times in a row as our waiter. Max is friendly, knowledgeable and excellent at what he does. It’s nice to see people enjoy what they do for work. We will definitely be back and will ask for Max again

My daughter is a picky eater but loves the spaghetti and meatballs here. Nichole always does an amazing job taking care of us. Even when it’s busy we always get our food quickly.
Daniel S. , 2 years ago
Great family restaurant! Food is great. Nichole was a great server especially great with our little kids!!!
Kate D. , 2 years ago
We came here for a date night and Nichole was an amazing server, super enthusiastic and fun to be around, would definitely come back!
Camden G. , 2 years ago
We come to TonyC’s often. The Caesar salad is hard to beat and the pizza reminds me of NY

We ALWAYS ask for Nichole’s section and she never disappoints. On our most recent visit she went out of her way to make our dining experience memorable.
Patrick O. , 2 years ago
The pizza was excellent and there were a lot of great options! The service was not fantastic, I think it may because it was around closing time. The server was nice, but not super attentive. I would definitely go back again.
Justus A. , 2 years ago
We ended up here, because we were hungry and walking in Bee Cave. Our server Ashia was really attentive and nice, the food was amazing! She offered a ‘first timer dessert’ which was delicious.
An amazing place to eat pizza + great service.
Javier L. , 2 years ago
Their house salads are amazing! To include chickpeas, and all the nice Italian touch it was like a vinaigrette, peppers, and red roasted peppers! I am a New Yorker so very fussy about pizza. The crust is perfect! Chewy, thin and crispy and we had the margarita pie and we were very pleased! They have half-price bottles wine on Wednesdays & an excellent wine list
Dory B. , 3 years ago
We love this place! We had amazing pizzas. Great joint in the galleria. The nicest kid Austin welcomed us in and seated us- so friendly and funny. We love coming here and recommend it to everyone. The crowds were pouring in the first time we went which just means the food is great.
Jenna W. , 3 years ago
Hill country galleria location.

Fantastic NY style pizza and really fresh pasta.

Loved – must order again!

• Mama Mia pizza – Pepperoni with sausage onions. Ask for less garlic. Ask for extra crispy crust.
• Fettuccini Alfredo with mushrooms
Nij C. , 3 years ago
Great service and great food. Came in for lunch and had the penne pasta with vodka sauce and a pizza. Nice wine selection as well.
Max B. , 3 years ago
Awesome coal fired pizza! The best you’ll find in the area hands down!
Shea D. , 3 years ago
Tony C’s is our Sunday go-to place! Watch Football at the bar, while getting the BEST Bianca (white) Pizza in Central Texas! We always order the Large, so we can take home and have another dinner! Who knew Tuesday is buy one pizza get one free! Yummy as always!
Cindy G. , 3 years ago
The restaurant is great to dine in and watch the world cup, the staff is always friendly. I’ve had the Italian sandwich and chicken parm which were out of this world. I will be going back to try the sausage and peppers. You guys have to eat here. They also have all kinds of deals and discounts.
oscar g. , 3 years ago
My favorite pizza in West Austin. Have been here many times and it’s always an enjoyable experience between great servers and the quality of food. The staff and management really make an effort here to make you feel welcome and are having a good experience.

Note that the place does tend to get very busy on Friday/Saturday evenings, so be prepared with a reservation or for a bit of a wait if you decide to arrive in this timeframe.

Delicious pizza spot! I highly recommend their eggplant pizza, it’s fantastic!
Ramsey A. , 4 years ago
I have heard about Tony C’s for years on the radio show I listen to and always wanted to try it. They did not disappoint carnivore pizza was awesome just the right amount of sauce on it and cooked in a coal fired oven dosen’t hurt. Most places tend to over sauce there pizza not a big fan of pizza dripping with sauce. The two people with me each got a salid one a chop and the other a beat salid. They bouth loved them said it was the best they had ever had. I had an Italiano sandwich with garlic fries witch where above average…

First time at this location. Really liked the design and decor compared to the one on Parmer. Food was delicious as always. I recommend the meatball appetizer, the lasagna and the spinach and goat cheese salad. Their frozen peach bellini is really good too. This location also sells pizza by the slice. On Tuesdays they have a 2 for Tuesday pizza special. And on Wednesdays 1/2 off bottles of wine.
Jessica C. , 5 years ago
Absolute best service from our server at lunch today! I always get the coal fired ziti and it never fails to impress. Our server was only on her second day and I was absolutely floored when she said that. She was so professional and did very well at time management. As someone who has worked in the food industry, I can tell that these managers train their servers and hosts vigorously and have high expectations. Great food and great service.
Rebekah F. , 5 years ago
Just amazing ! This wine + this pizza, best thing ever
Angel C. , 5 years ago
Food is amazing, pasta was fresh and salsa well-made, the pizza has this great flavor from the fire oven. Frozen rosé is my favorite drink.
Luciani Z. , 5 years ago
Visiting daughter and had lunch here with the family. Very friendly wait staff. He was very helpful and was constantly checking on us. Service was more than excellent. He had a great attitude and was humorous. Garlic Knots and pizza was excellent. Had cheesecake for dessert. Excellent!!! Would definitely go here again.
Clifford W. , 6 years ago
Excellent service by Jordan today. What a likeable young man. Very happy with the Chicken Parmesan. The manager Steven knows customer service well and is hiring great staff members Highly recommend Tony C’s. As someone that grew up in Western NY, their pizza is one of the best in Austin.
Frank W. , 6 years ago
Giving 5 stars for the service alone. The food was good, but the service was excellent. My wife and I were at the Bee Cave location last Friday night and our sever was Mike. Our pizza was taking a bit longer than normal to come out and Mike made sure to make it right with us. He was extremely apologetic and attentive. Great service.
Joe D. , 6 years ago
Tuesdays. We go regularly for 2 for 1 Pizza night. This is a heavy kid activity day for our fam, so jumping over to Tony C’s makes a lot of sense. Great service, and attentive friendly servers. Happy Hour drink specials are good, and app + 2 great 5 topping pizzas + 2 tall beers + 2 kid drinks + 2 kids meals + good tip is under $55 is amazing
Renee H. , 6 years ago
What an incredible experience! We had Kelly Ann as a server and she went above and beyond for us and truly made our night. The wine and food were both phenomenal! And to top it all off since we were first time guests, we got a complimentary dessert that was to die for! We will highly recommend this place to our friends and family!
Hayley P. , 7 years ago
Quaint place with good beer and wine selection. The garlic knots are yummy. The buffalo mozzarella was amazing!! We had the mama mia 12” pizza which was also yummy. Being from Jersey, it’s hard to find pizza as good as home. While this one is close, it’s just shy of hitting that mark. In saying that, we will definitely be back.
Robyn R. , 7 years ago
I’m real late in posting this, but I went there about a year ago and had *NOT ONLY* such great food but was treated to some real above-and-beyond type service during my stay there: I forgot my leftovers and came back about 10 min later and found they were thrown out (no surprise there — I can’t expect them to hold my leftovers when they are busy and trying to accommodate other guests) and the manager Steven made me a brand new pizza on the house to take with me!!

I work in food service and this is not common practice. I’ve never worked in a restaurant that would just make a whole new meal for a customer who forgot their leftovers, that’s not their responsibility but they helped me out anyway. Like I said, above and beyond for sure. The food was also great, really good pizza and awesome appetizers.
Alec W. , 7 years ago
Awesome place for a late afternoon lunch. Their menu is well built with plenty of choices for all your family. Their pizzas are very good with a peculiar dough flavor and not too thin or too thick. More like NY Style pizzas just right! They also have a great variety of beers and wine. Great attentive service will make sure you enjoy your dinner while having a good time.
Robert F. , 7 years ago
The Bianca pizza was pretty good there. My kid had the spaghetti and meatballs and loved it. Kid-friendly and good service.
Ester M. , 8 years ago
Baked mozzarella was fantastic. Pizza was pretty good, wish there were some garlic butter or something brushed on the crust, otherwise fantastic and crispy.
Tuesday’s is buy one get on free pizza!

Just finished dinner with my gingers to celebrate my finishing my second semester of nursing school. The food was great and the ambiance was awesome. The reason they get 5 stars was because of Matt our server. He was so cool and friendly (just how an awesome server should be). We will definitely be back to eat and we will be requesting Matt 🙂
Lara M. , 9 years ago
Absolutely love this place. Pizza is outstanding. A great place to share a pizza with a friend or spouse and enjoy a delightfully cold brew. Prices are reasonable. Occasionally the service is just average. The outdoor seating is great in the evening.
Kris R. , 9 years ago
My husband and I ordered two slices of pizza: one slice was eggplant and cheese and the other was a pepperoni pizza. The pizza was NY style, coal fired pizza. Wasn’t charred, which we appreciated. Very fresh tasting. The unsweetened iced tea was very good and flavorful. It did not require any sweetening. Matt was our server and he was very helpful and friendly. We sat outside. We look forward to coming back.
Sarah H. , 9 years ago
We had dinner here last night, and loved it. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken. When we ordered our food it came out great! The salads were all very fresh ingredients as well as the pizza. I strongly recommend this place. Also check out their website for specials!
Erik M. , 9 years ago
I cannot say enough good things about this place!! I have been a regular at the Avery Ranch location and had high expectations when taking my Mom and son to the Hill Country Galleria restaurant ~ and we were not disappointed!!!

Our server Matt was phenomenal from the minute we sat down ~ the wine he suggested was outstanding (and better than what I had planned to order), the calzone appetizer was to die for and he made sure our every need was met throughout our meal. The prosciutto and goat cheese pizza is still hands down my fav!!

We will definitely plan to go back on a Tuesday when Matt is bartending to see what he has to offer there as well!

An absolute must if you love authentic italian and I will assuredly be making the drive from Cedar Park again for this amazing experience!!

This is some fantastic NY style thin (but not too thin) pizza. The crust has a great chew to it and also a slight crispness when you first bite into it. Great balance in the crust. The oven cooks the pie at 1000 degrees which is what makes it so good. We ordered a pepperoni pie and it was simply fantastic. The meat and the cheese blended together and were so hot and delicious, then the crust was a great finish. Their Caesar salad is also very good. It is served with one of their garlic knots, mmmmm.

We sat upstairs, which I recommend, because you can watch your pie being made. The place has a great feel to it and the decor is really cool. Our server was Brooklyn and she was really great. She gave us some great suggestions and she was super sweet. If you find yourself near the Hill Country Domain and in need of a pizza fix. I highly recommend this place. They also sell slices if you don’t want a whole pie. A slice of hot pizza with a cold pint of Peroni, always a great meal.
