Pizzeria Paparazzi

Expensive and bad for even drunk food. A slice is $ 4 which would be understandable if it was good, but it isn’t. Cheese seemed old, sauce was non existent and lacked any flavor, crust was barely cooked. Definitely try another place on the street. Not worth it no matter how desperate.

Pizza ria paparazzi is the perfect drunk food. Served on a paper plate, paps pizza will start you off with a sticky mixture of mozzarella cheese poured over a luke warm bed of cardboard. They’ll take that yummy mixture and top it with delicious amounts of pepperoni and stale meat. Paps pizza, to a drunk person, is like finding a man whose been trudging through the Sahara dessert, 30 days, and 39 nights. All he wants is water, or soda, or even sir Robert burnettes, just something to wet his whistle. Anyway, this man comes upon you, as a man would come upon paps pizza, and you take pity on him. And you reach deep in your pockets, and, 8 minutes later, as he waits patiently before you, you showZ mercy, and you hand him a bag of sand.
Papas pizza taste like someone bought one of the 9.99 large pizza & soda deals from 7 – 11, took the pizza out of the box, set it in the trunk of his car for 9 days, then repackaged it as edible to the most intoxicated person in sight.
In summary, papas pizza tastes like someone bought a digorno pizza from Kroger, Preheated the oven to 425, baked the cardboard box for 18 – 20 minutes until golden brown, and then served it to you for $ 4 a slice.
P. S. Do not get the mushroom pizza. It’s not what you think.

This guy called the cops on my for asking to buy a bottle of water with a credit card after I bought 2 slices of pizza. Very unprofessional and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

You would have to be passing-​out drunk to enjoy the food served at this place, and judging from their location and décor, if you’re passing-​out drunk, you’re their target market.
The worst.

Never thought it was possible to make terrible pizza. This place makes Jack’s frozen pizza look like gourmet.

Big slices. Definitely nothing to go crazy about but it’s decent pizza and it does the trick, especially when you’re drunk. On 6^th street and on a weekend night the line gets pretty packed — probably not because its great but because its convenient. I went by this place a few times after and I guess it’s not always open?

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. There is something seriously wrong with the owner. We went to buy a slice of pizza, paid for the pizza, and went to put some Parmesan cheese on it. The shaker was having issues so my husband took the top off so that we could actually get some of the parm cheese. Apparently the owner doesn’t want you using it cuz next thing we know he grabs my husband’s arm, won’t let go, then proceeds to throw the parm cheese at my husband so it gets all over his face and body. All this because we opened the parm cheese container?! Word of advice-don’t even bother stopping here because both the owner and the pizza do not deserve your business.

This is the worst pizza I have ever tasted in my life. The owner also tried to accuse us of getting our order wrong. We ordered three slices and he gave us two. It was terrible pizza with horrible service. I will never go back.

This is a walk up window where you can get a slice of pizza for about $ 4. It is exactly what you might expect. The quality is middling but the service is fast and friendly.

I really can’t trace all those negative comments!
I’m spoiled when it comes to quality and my standards after 10 years service industry in Europe are exceptional.
Due Forni has high quality standards to me, but I haven’t had the Pizza yet… will give that a try next time.
But over all, this is a great place! Love it!

I didn’t think it was possible but this pizza is worse than roppolo’s!
Seriously, if you want good pizza on 6^th go to hoeks, backspace and/​or due forni.

I got a slice from this place (or its close by window front) last Saturday after a night at Buffalo Billiards. I’m depressed that I didn’t just walk a little further down to Ropollo’s. I ordered what I thought was a Hawaiian slice that ended up being pepperoni and pineapple (weird). The crust was good and thin enough to be crunchy on the bottom. However, the pepperonis immediately gave me the tummy gurgles. They tasted really cheap and dropped the overall quality of the pizza significantly. It was a large enough slice for the $ 4 I paid, but overall there are better quick service pizza trailers and restaurants within spitting distance of Pizzeria Paparazzi.

On Halloween and I was struck by hunger during the festivities. I stopped at Paparazzi because it seemed like the fastest place to get food, meaning it was basically empty. An empty pizza place ON DIRTY 6TH on HALLOWEEN? Not to be trusted, but I was that hungry.
I got a veggie slice and it was crispy and tasted ok, but the toppings were kind of just thrown on. The crust sucked because it was twice as big as it should have been, meaning there weren’t toppings on a quarter of my 4 dollar piece of pizza.
The thing that really bothered me about this place was their parmesan and red pepper bottles… They were hanging from a string on the wall by the entrance where anyone could just walk in and put their filthy hands all over them. While creative, it was also incredibly disgusting. Everything was in the industrial size bottles it came in which gave the impression it had been hanging there for weeks.
Overall, the food was not worth $ 4, but if you’re starving or too drunk this is an okay option.

This place is located right off of 6^th St and San Jacinto and was on the way back to our hotel after our night of partying on 6^th St. It was the perfect 2am snack to soak up a little of the alcohol. It is a little pricey for sliced pizza but very worth it! We had 4 slices of pizza and 4 bottled waters and it was $ 22.
I do have to say that my friends thoroughly enjoyed it and one kept pointing it out the whole weekend.
The atmosphere is fun and the owner is very entertaining and friendly (I guess you have to be with as many drunks that come through there in one night)!
If you’re feeling up to it, you can even autograph the walls along with the millions of others that have signed them!
Overall, this place is great for your 2am snack… not sure how it would rank as a lunch spot. But if you’re ever leaving 6^th St and need a quick snack to get you back to your hotel be sure to stop by this place!

Short and sweet… good NY style pizza! Was greasy, cheesy and super thin. all the qualities I look for in a «Pizza by the Slice» location lol. It was pretty quick too. Although, this place isn’t for the weak in nature lol. It’s all covered in graffiti (on purpose) and has a trashed look to it. Or do I call that trendy and hip? LOL. Cool place to stop by after you’ve been drinking all evening. Except that when you sit down to eat you feel like any minute you’ll have to throw your table down on the floor and hide behind it because the shoot out will begin soon LMBO! My guard was definately up eating in there but I’d go back next time I’m in town. Good NY style pizza is hard to come by!

By the slice sausage pepperoni was my choice for tonight. I was in a hurry. Honestly? You can find a place like this in any town that thinks it’s hip, and this one is about the same as other towns. Good crust, good sauce, I wish they would have heated it up more. Friendly staff, but the graffitti on the walls that may have been cute in the 60s or 70s isn’t really that cute anymore. Time for a fresh coat of paint, and try another theme. The College-​age guys working there could not have been friendlier, though.
What would I change? Something healthy. A salad option?

A little pizza place just off 6^th Street. Grab a slice or two and keep having fun downtown!
The pizza is okay even though it’s not a true New York pizza. I’m from New York and **know** real New York pizza. The dough was too thick and didn’t flop all over the place while trying to eat it while walking. Couldn’t even fold it in half like you’re supposed to. And there wasn’t nearly enough grease dripping off of it. The front of my shirt should’ve looked like I lost a fight to a bottle of olive oil.
Outdoor seating would be considered the curb or bumper of a car. THAT’S like a NY pizzeria!
At 2am after an… um…energetic night on 6^th Street, it’s great pizza and really hits the spot.
The guys working here are really friendly and a lot of fun. I’m sure I’ll stop here again… after a night of fun downtown.

C’mon guys. Pizzeria Paparazzi is what it is – a place to grub on your way from one bar to another. What did you expect? Most of what is served here ends up in rancid puddles in the alleys around Sixth Street anyway, so it would really be a waste for them to focus too much on quality, now wouldn’t it?
I generally prefer the pizza windows around the corner. They peddle slightly cheaper and slightly tastier pie, though you have to stand there and eat it on the sidewalk like a dork.
But the most beautiful girl in Austin pulled me by the hand into this place, and I knew better than to argue. That guy behind the counter? Probably the sweetest guy you’ll meet downtown. A refreshing change from how some late-​night businesses downtown treat you.
As Sean M pointed out, they don’t finish cooking the pizza here. But that just makes drunken chewing more fun! Like ruminating cattle, she and I chewed and chewed in silence, taking in the empty squalor. (Oh – and the place is covered floor-​to-​ceiling with Sharpie graffiti. Classy!)
The toppings were fine, especially once I added red pepper, oregano and Parmesan (all tethered to the wall by the door). No, the pizza here isn’t going to win any awards, but it really doesn’t even have to be as good as it is to meet the needs of their target demographic.

I saw the owner on TV being interviewed on the news. He spoke with an Italian accent so I made a mental note to get a slice the next time I was downtown. What I got was a half baked, bland piece of pizza with what can only be described as some sort of plasticine cheese. By the time I made it onto 6^th Street, I had already thrown it away.
I’m not sure if the owner is from Italy or not but I’m pretty sure that wherever he is from, he got thrown out of for making this drek.

It’s barely food. The ingredients are digestible and that’s where it ends. Shit for dough, bland sauce, sub-​Sysco cheese, no sense of the oven temperature required to make pizza.
This place defiles the art of pizza-​making. If there were a pizza-​makers guild, Paparazzi would be shunned to Siberia for selling this monstrosity.
