Pizza parties are to thank for the unique fare served at Via 313 in Austin. When brothers and Detroit natives Brandon and Zane Hunt began tossing around the idea of bringing their home city's style of pizza to Austin, they needed a few guinea pigs to test recipes. Their group of friends became those guinea pigs, attending weekly pizza parties to sample the latest creations. Once a recipe was approved, it was added to the menu for a future pizzeria. That pizzeria is now a food trailer in front of the Violet Crown Social Club, called Via 313. It's just a short trip away from Elan East, making it convenient to try the place for yourself.
Grab a classic Detroit-style pie—that is, a square pizza with four corner slices—at Via 313. Yelp reviewers particularly like the Cadillac, a pie topped with gorgonzola cheese, fig preserves, parmesan, shaved prosciutto, and a balsamic glaze. However, there are also more conventional options like the Detroiter with cheese and double pepperoni or the Herbivore with mushrooms, sweet onions, green pepper, and black olives.
