The Backspace
Share
The backspace offers wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas as well as a rotating seasonal selection of antipasti, insalate, and paninis. Local b**r on draft.
Enjoy a local b**r on tap and an all-Italian w**e list. Neapolitan-style pizzas, including classics like the Margherita and Marinara, as well as a selection of antipasti, insalate, and paninis. The all-Italian w**e list features many bottles, with choices by the glass. Easy and urban, the restaurant seats just 30 diners, half at tables and the rest around the convivial bar. Local designers Michael Hsu and Kasey McCarty restored the historic 130-year-old building to its original luster. The centerpiece of the backspace is a Forni Cirigliano wood-fired pizza oven, custom-made and shipped over from Naples, the only one like it in Austin. @backspaceaustin

Dare we say, a perfect pair?
Cab Franc & Fennel Sausage is a match made in heaven.
This lighter-bodied red brings bright red fruit & refreshing acidity that pair stunningly with each savory bite of the fennel sausage.

Say cheese!
Why does the wood matter?🔥
Because great pizza starts with great fire. We use Texas post oak to give every pie the smoky, wood-fired flavor that makes all the difference. 🍕
Even great fires leave great ingredients.

One of Italy’s oldest dishes is here to stay.
Before tomatoes made their way to Italy, pizzas looked a lot like this—simple, rich, and built around incredible cheese: the Caciocavallo.
