Deft Pies was Fantastic!

Tried Deft Pies at Old Gregg Brewing Company and absolutely loved the pizza. If you grew up near Chicago, this will scratch your itch for Chicago thin crust pizza, cut in squares (also called tavern style). Supposedly the pizza recipes were created by John Bates per the Old Gregg website.

The Brewery is a really great space with good beer and lots of outdoor picnic tables. Parking is easy. Busy but not too crowded on a pleasant weekend night.

A few points to note, the pizzas only come in one size 16" and aren't cheap, $23-$26 per pizza starting. Ordering is all via QR code to a website. You can't add or remove toppings from their specialty pies. And to order a 1-topping build your own is $3 more expensive than the specialty pies. Thus, they have a few negative reviews for not being able to at least remove a topping from a specialty pie and the cost of a 1-topping BYO. Also, you pickup the pizza at a window to the left area away from the bar.

But if those odd pricing issues aren't a problem for you, the pizza is amazing and I'm glad to see we now have a few options for Chicago thin crust/tavern style in the Austin area!
