have you tried brick oven pizza on red river? i'm not sure exactly what makes pizza the new york variety but brick oven has thin crust cooked to order with spicy sauce and any number of ingredients which you can pick and choose. i'm not a big pizza fan and this is my favorite anywhere. it's on red river near brackenridge hospital.

I tried the Brick Oven ... cooks spicey special (pizza) is great ... but alas, it's not pizza ... it's called pizza ... it looks like pizza .. but I had to laugh the first time I tasted it. Tastes are almost impossible to describe and New York pizza has a taste that is uniquely addictive. These other things that people call pizza generally don't even come close. I've tried about 20 different pizza sources in Austin, and Reale's is the only one that is the real thing. Understand what I'm saying ... some of these other places have "pizza" that tastes great but that doesn't satisfy the need for the NY pizza taste. It's all in the spices and the source (and as a result the taste) of the ingredients. Let me try to put it this way. I love enchiladas because I grew up in San Antonio. When I lived in New York a mexican food restaurant would open about once a year. The enchiladas would always taste super bland (like they were made with catsup without any spice) and after a month they were being made with the kitchen stock Itialian sauce ... certainly not San Antonio enchiladas. If you want to discover the taste of New York pizza you have to go to Reale's in Austin or thousands of places in New York. (For you Uno's fans in Chicago ... I love that stuff also ... Chicago pizza ... not anywhere like New York pizza ... but absolutely great stuff ... the one doesn't staisfy the need for the other but they are both unique and a cullinary necessity.)
