Via 313 brings authentic Detroit-style pizza to Austin, TX. From a humble trailer parked on Rainey Street to a beloved Austin institution, our story is about passion, community, and the most craveable pizza you'll ever eat.
Via 313 was founded by brothers Brandon and Zane Hunt, who grew up eating Detroit-style pizza in Michigan. When they moved to Austin, TX, they couldn't find that thick, crispy-edged, airy-crumbed square pizza they'd loved their whole lives — so they decided to make it themselves.
The name "313" pays homage to Detroit's iconic area code — a nod to the city that gave birth to this beloved style of pizza. Starting from a single food trailer on Rainey Street in 2011, via313 quickly developed a devoted following that couldn't get enough of that unmatched crust and rich, edge-to-edge cheese coverage.
At Via 313, we believe a great pizza is more than food — it's a connection to place, memory, and community.
Every pizza we make carries the love and respect of our Detroit roots. We don't cut corners — ever. Real ingredients, real technique, real flavor.
From locally sourced toppings to authentic Wisconsin brick cheese and house-made sauces — quality ingredients are non-negotiable at via313.
Austin embraced us when we were just a trailer — and we give that love right back. We support local causes, local suppliers, and local people.
Award-winning pizza isn't an accident. Our team obsesses over every detail — dough hydration, cheese melt, sauce ratio — so your experience is always exceptional.
We treat every guest like family. Whether you're dining in, picking up, or ordering delivery — straightforward, warm, respectful service every time.
Tradition is our foundation, but creativity keeps us growing. Seasonal specials, bold new toppings, and fresh ideas keep our menu exciting year-round.
