Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza

It took us 1.5 hours to drive out to this place. It is located in a secluded area. The parking lot was a nightmare. We had to park in a overflow lot and walk on a gravel road to get to the establishment. Not a fun activity in flip flops. The place was disorganized and confusing for a first timer. One has to wait for extended periods in a confusing line to order. Then you go to the seating area. Please take the term "farmhouse" literally. The dining area consists of a large covered area with dirt floors and many picnic tables. You seat yourself. There are no fans or air conditioning. People bring their dogs into the dining area, so be ready for that. It took about 30 minutes for out pizza to be ready. You get a text, then you go pick up your order. In my opinion, the pizza was just ok. The flavor profile was lacking and the crust was burnt in some areas. We also ordered garlic knots. WOW... they are VERY garlicky. I was burping that for hours post meal. The place was packed and others seemed to enjoy the food and atmosphere. Not my cup of tea.. or slice of pizza.

Bring the whole family; spend the day. Quick moving line to order pizza and drinks. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Space heaters hang from the ceiling indoors for those frosty days.

Favorite pizza was the Penelope. The wood fired pizza oven produces delicious, hearty crust. The red sauce is both savory and mildly sweet. I didn't try the white sauce, not my thing, but it smelled delicious.

The brewery being next door is brilliant. If the day allows, lazily patronize both with a group of friends. Certainly worth the short drive or Uber from Austin. Bring your dog (and a bowl with some nourishment), bring your family, bring your friends! All will be better for the experience. No joke.

Went for the first time a few weekends ago. This place was amazing. Food was great atmosphere was amazing, and the staff was super friendly and helpful for a first timer. Also it looked very kid friendly, I didn't bring my daughter but there were plenty of space of kids to run around and play.

This very literal farmhouse pizzeria serves up some very tasty pizza with fresh toppings and a crust that is excellently charred and thin. My company rented out the space recently for a team building event and I can see why so many people love this place. With a healthy selection of beer on tap (some from the brewer next door) and wine, it's a great place for adults to relax while providing acres of space for kids to run around the open area.

I wish that I could've taken more pictures of their pizzas, but my coworkers and I were all very hungry and we swarmed the pizzas as soon as they came available like scavengers in the Serengeti. The one pic I was able to grab hold myself was actually of my favorite one we ordered. I can't recall the name, but it had a well aged prosciutto and fresh arugula topping it. Their garlic knot though didn't have as strong of a garlic essence as I would have hoped and tasted more like a filler. The crust of the pizza itself is very thin, so much so that even the light toppings such as cherry tomato halves and arugula will bend the crust to their will.

Now you may be asking why I gave this place a 3/5 rating if I've got nothing but praise for them. The reason for that is due to two circumstances out of their control. 1. As I mentioned, this is a very literal farm structure with large open barn doors and no AC. So your level of comfort will be at the mercy of the weather which doesn't agree with me all that well. 2. Much like my coworkers swarmed over the pizzas, a large population of flies were circling along with us. It was such a noticeable annoyance that really made the experience worse with the heat.
