Yaghi’s New York Pizzeria

No pork products. At All. Not stated in the menu or on Any Signs. I feel deceived. Never again. Turkey bacon. Turkey Italian Sausage? What the FUC? Are you joking? Wow. Lose 4 stars. False advertising. False pizza. Review reflects deception. Good bye. Can’t even find enough words to describe how I feel, accurately.

Awesome pizza, great food in general. I am from NY where pizza is king and to be honest after eating around here I thought I was going to have to give up on Pizza in Texas… Yahgis to the rescue! This is the only pizza I eat down here now. I recommened to anyone who likes REAL pizza.

The pizza is awesome, the customer service is terrible. We ordered delivery last week and when we called again to place a delivery order today we were told to call their other location. We did that and they then told us to call the William Cannon location again. On the first phone call the girl on the phone said she had spoke to her manager and that he informed her that they do not deliver to our location. On the second phone call she said the manager wasn’t there and she was the only manager on duty. I do not like being lied to, and she was completely rude throughout the entire conversation. If she is in fact a manager, the owner needs to rethink who he puts in charge of his restaurant. (Called William Cannon location on 11/​25/​2015 around 5pm)

Best pizza in Austin.
Ok, if you factor in wait time it’s the best. I’d put it on par with Home Slice, and there is never a line. Plus the owner is super friendly, there are sodas that seem free… Or at least free with your lunch. Oh and it’s all cheap! $ 4 lunch… Where else is that possible these days?! Love this place!

My husband is a born and raised New Yorker, so he’s a pretty tough critic. We both loved our Cheese slices! Just the right amount of greasy and the crust was delicious. We also loved the Spinach Pie thing and huge chocolate chip cookies.
Brogan (I think that’s how you spell it) was very sweet!

Really good pizza. The people are really nice and service is very fast. Good quality and huge portions.

First off, the customer service was great. The person I spoke with on the phone was very courteous and respectful. My order of an XL pizza with meatballs, Italian sausage and onions definitely satisfied my pizza craving. Repeat customer.

BEST VALUE! Bomb a$$ pizza and the salads are amazing! The lunch special gets you both and a coke for $ 5.40 can’t beat it. Love you guys always friendly!

I love love love Yaghi’s!
The food is so fresh and you always get your moneys worth and then some.
They have such great specials and very generous portions, for people like me that ball on a budget, huge portions for minimal price is very important!
It is obvious that everything here is fresh and not the frozen sketchy stuff that some other places use. I can’t pick a favorite menu item! Of course the pizza is to die for but their calzones are serious INSANE, if you haven’t tried one yet, DO IT!
I seriously feel that this is so very close to being as authentic as it comes to a true New York style Pizzeria!

As a New Yorker, born and raised, calling this New York style pizza is an insult!
First off, disclaimer: I had pizza and boneless wings delivered, maybe things are different if you go to the restaurant itself.
I opened the pizza and there is a giant layer of grease on top of the pizza. This is surprising, because there is already a ton of grease seeping through the bottom of box. The pizza itself, going beyond the grease (which is pretty hard to do), flavor wise was fine and had more than it’s fair share of mozzarella. By no means is this NY style, not even close to thin crust.
As for the boneless wings, nothing really special about them. I ordered them with celery sticks (a 0.50 additional charge), and I get a whopping 3 tiny celery sticks…
TLDR: Greasy, chewy and stingy…

I am a big fan of the fact that you can order delicious NY-​style pizza by the slice at Yaghi’s. So this review really doesn’t have much to do with the pizza, but rather the horrible experience I had while ordering.
So here goes… as I’m paying for my pizza the owner starts yelling really loudly at one of his employees, «GET THE F$%$$% OUT! GET THE F#$%$% OUT!», even whipping him once with a wet rag and proceeding to chase him out of the front door of the restaurant as I watched, stunned.
Now I’m not sure what prompted this rage tantrum; the employee was clearly not a native English speaker and there was a dirty rag on the floor that the owner also told him to pick up (which he understandably didn’t after being cursed at). I had clearly just caught the tail-​end of whatever had happened, but am confident that it didn’t deserve THAT kind of a response. Very unprofessional– I’m from Philly and have never really been to NY before, but I’m pretty sure that would rank poor on the customer service scale no matter where it would have been. Thank God I decided to go in by myself and leave my wife and infant daughter in the car.
So thank you, Mr. Yaghi or whoever you are, your pizza is great, but I’ll be avoiding your restaurant from now on. There are enough decent pizza joints in Austin to forego experiencing a trauma like that again.

This pizza mimics the NY style surprisingly well. Order a whole pie and get the fresh experience. Order a slice and expect to get strange looks from over the counter while you eat.
tdlr; pizza’s good if you don’t mind that the staff is in need of some serious customer service lessons. But if you have the time you might as well just save yourself the chewing effort and go to Home Slice instead.

Yaghi’s pizza is incredible.
The crust was perfectly crispy, while being fluffy on the inside. The cheese was amazing. Melty, slightly salty, and super tasty. The sauce was also delicious and felt like a nice addition to the flavor, rather than just being the stuff that the cheese goes on.
I felt that my pizza could have used more pepperoni, but despite that it was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.

Great NY Style pizza — we prefer the 1 topping over multiple. Multiple toppings made the pizza really heavy…
Super fast — order was ready when we arrived — 10 minutes! However ordering was somewhat difficult — hopefully the employees can improve on their communication skills.

I like the pizza and prize most of all the location but the people (kids) working they’re are just not ready.
They need better communication skills and costumer service.
Also the owner needs to accept American express. We all know they charge a little more but really…

I haven’t gotten to try much pizza in Austin yet, but this is the best takeout pizza I’ve had so far. The crust is the perfect NY texture and the ingredients are fresh. On the box it says they make all the meats in-​house!
We got the meat lovers which was delicious but extremelyyyyy heavy (duh.) I preferred the white pizza we got with spinach, chicken and a healthy dose of red pepper. Will definitely be ordering from here next time I have a pizza craving.

I always come here for salads but today I tried their Hawaiian pizza slice and it was amazing! Perfectly warmed up and the crust was moist yet crispy, I’m not really sure how to say it any other way. The employees were all very friendly, I will definitely be back for pizza very soon! Their lunch special seems like a great deal too

Two slices with toppings and a drink for five bucks — great lunch special.
As far as quality. It’s pizza, so it is always good. But nothing extraordinary. I only stop here for convenience.

As close to NY style pizza in Austin TX. This place has a nice crust, chewy, crispy and great flavor. Their toppings are top notch too. I recommend the Gyro pizza and the traditional Pepperoni and Sausage. One recommendation i have is to ask them to leave the pizza in the oven just a tad longer than usual, you will get a nice crispy bottom crust.
Never forget to sprinkle granulated garlic on the pizza, this tops it off!

It’s nice that Marshall J blurted out that Yaghi’s was some of the best pie in town. Even nicer since we were in their delivery area. Although we did opt to pick it up. Ordering was simple enough and Suzie was dispatched to pick her up. I got a side of wings as well. We have a few options in the hood, so I was curious how they would stand up against our regular places Austin Pizza Garden and Mangieri’s Pizza Café. Since I have never been to that place on Soco, I am working with what’s in the hood.
Wings, no contest. Since APG doesn’t have them. These babies from Yaghi’s were pretty dang awesome and if I would compare them to Mangieri’s they are easily twice the size. They had several more options than Mangieri’s however they were a dollar more for a dozen. Well worth it IMHO. Curiously enough, Yaghi’s Blue Cheese dipping sauce sucked. So, if you happen to have some dressing in the fridge, I would definitely go that direction. Plus one to Yaghi’s.
Pie, a perfect fit in the middle in these three places. We liked our choice of the Spinach Roasted Garlic Chicken specialty pizza from Yaghi’s and size wise their pies are 50 cents less than Mangieri’s and a couple of bucks cheaper and 2 inches larger than APG. So they come in on the inexpensive side when dealing with their specialty choices. The pie was very good, crisp crust and fresh ingredients were very apparent. They have several other options that our other regular haunts don’t carry so there is more to discover here as time goes by. At this point, we will definitely head back that direction soon.
