Many a New Yorker who finds himself cut off from the Italian-centric dining culture of his home city has wandered into Reale's Pizzeria with a feeling similar to that which Columbus must have felt when he finally spotted land. Part of this is due to the fact that Reale's is itself run by transplanted ex-New Yorkers. Sinatra filters through the speakers as diners munch on Italian treats such as cannoli, manicotti and a seafood linguine dish made with clams, mussels, scallops and a thin pasta, all covered in spicy tomato sauce. It's the heavy-on-the-cheese pizza, however, that wins particularly high marks from those in the know. There's a marked atmosphere of closeness here; besides being family-owned and operated, a steady stream of regulars makes Reale's their second home. -- Barrett Brown

    order a white "pete"s" with sausage, a dinner salad with a few bread sticks and a bit of vino and man...you're day is made. Oh.....and be sure to find Bob or Marie and say hello.

    Reales Pizza and Calzones are the best you will find in Austin, in Texas and even New York...I've only been in Austin Texas for a year. I relocated from Brooklyn New York, So i know good pizza when I taste it....5 out of 5 stars....i'll be a regular at Reales

    I MOVED TO AUSTIN IN 1967 FROM NY AND STILL CANNOT FIND ANY OTHER PIZZA OR ITALIAN DISHES THAT MATCH REALE'S FLAVORS. I RECOMMEND THEIR PIZZA TO EVERYONE I MEET THAT SAY THEY CANNOT FIND A GOOD TASTING PIZZA IN THIS AREA . THE SAUCE IS AN AUTHENTIC RECIPE THAT THE OWNER MAKES HIMSELF, THAT HE LEARNED FROM HIS FAMILY IN UPSTATE WAPPINGER FALLS, NY. HIS CRUST IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. HIS MEATBALL SUBS ARE THE BEST. JUST ASK FOR BOB AND ENJOY A GOOD OLD HOMETOWN CONVERSATION.

    Was expecting more than I found. I was seated in a back area on the side, away from the major part of the restaurant. Didn't like it..The Pizza was good..not great..wouldn't come back just for that. The pasta dishes were Excellent as was the bread. next time back, I will just work on the pasta and meat dishes. Wine list is OK for this size of restaurant. Music was very loow in the area we were in..We just seemed to be isolated from what we came there for and to listen to Sinatra. Nice place, but New York it is not...With that said, I am sure we will return, just wasn't the place we expected and wanted to make home.

    If you like New York pizza, there's really no comparison in Austin to Reale's (and we like it better than any place in LA and San Francisco, too). Classic thin, and not sweet crust, great toppings, and great reheated the next day(s). Bob Reale and his great staff have created the perfect Italian restaurant. When we can tear ourselves away from the pizza, the rest of the menu is wonderful as well.

  • Oh Yummy!!!

    Their cheese is so good. Always get extra cheese. This pizza is the best. I live in Liberty Hill and I will drive in just to get a halfbaked to take home and finish up. Try it!! You won't be sorry you did!!!

  • LOOK NOWHERE ELSE FOR PIZZA!!

    BOBBY REALE AND HIS FAMILY OWN AND OPERATE THIS RESTAURANT. CLEARLY THE MOST ITALIAN STYLE RESTAURANT IN ALL OF AUSTIN. THE PIZZA IS UNBELIEVABLE---IT'S BETTER AFTER A WEEK IN THE REFRIGERATOR THAN ANYWHERE ELSE FRESH OFF THE TABLE!!!

    WHAT A CLASSIC TOUCH FOR AUSTIN! THIS PLACE REMINDS ME OF MY TIME IN CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, WHEN WE WOULD SAUNTER INTO BOSTON ON THE WEEKENDS FOR SUPERB FOOD. THERE IS SIMPLY NO COMPARISON WITHIN 1400 MILES!!!! YOU'LL LOVE IT, AND BE SURE TO BEFRIEND BOBBY--A CLASS ACT, SUPER NICE ITALIAN GUY WITH STORIES THAT WILL KEEP YOU IN STITCHES. ALSO, THE CANNOLIS ARE FANTASTIC, WITH A SLIGHT ORANGE FLAVOR IN THE RICOTTA CHEESE!! HAVE THE BEST FOOD IN TOWN WHEN YOU VISIT BOBBY REALE. 335-5115 WILL GET YOU RESERVATIONS. THIS PLACE IS IN PLAZA 183, SOUTH OF 620 ON RESEARCH, ON THE WEST SIDE OF RESEARCH, IN A LARGE SHOPPING CENTER. THIS WILL MAKE YOUR WEEKEND EVEN SWEETER!!!

  • Good Pizza.

    I love reale's pizza so much. My only complaint is that Reale's did away with their creamy italian dressing, which was really good.
