Aviator Pizza

Aviator has a very Austin-y feel—chill, family-friendly and often with big patios that feel more like a backyard hangout than a restaurant. As the name suggests, Aviator Pizza leans into a fun aviation theme. The decor includes vintage airplane memorabilia, maps, and flight-related design touches. It’s got a cool, laid-back vibe that’s great for families, groups, or just grabbing a beer and slice solo.

About Aviator Pizza

Their pizzas are made from scratch, including dough and sauces. They go for a thinner, crispier crust—kind of a fusion between New York and more artisan-style pies. Ingredients are fresh, and they’ve got lots of options for toppings, including non-traditional ones like goat cheese, arugula or roasted corn. Because Aviator puts a lot of emphasis on supporting local breweries, you’ll often find Texas-made brews that pair perfectly with their pies.

Even though they have several spots around Austin and Central Texas (like Elgin, Kyle, and South Congress), each location keeps a family-friendly community-oriented feel—no big chain vibes.The North Austin location even has a great playground located right next to the picnic tables so kids and parents can enjoy their time. Bonus: it’s enclosed. Get details on all locations here.
