Why You’ll Love our Pizzas
A great Chicago-style pizza made in Texas? Pizza folklore has it that 1920s University of Texas football star Ike Sewell was the inventor of the Chicago-style pizza in 1943. Mangia has brought Ike’s idea back to his gridiron home of Austin, making great pizzas that all will enjoy.
Why would Ike like Mangia? The dough, the sauce, the cheese, the toppings? Yes, yes, yes and yes.
Our dough is handmade from scratch using a perfect blend of flour, sugar, yeast and water – sparkling fresh water that comes from the Edwards Aquifer, a prolific artesian aquifer that also feeds Barton Springs, one of the great natural swimming locations in the world. The out-of-the-oven end result is a dough that is buttery, light and flaky.
Fresh ground sweet Italian tomatoes seasoned with basil, salt and pepper are the key to our sauce. Oregano, which can cause bitterness, is not used. The fresh simplicity of Mangia’s sauce allows the tasty quality of ALL ingredients to burst forth.
Mangia uses only part skim, low moisture Mozzarella cheese that is 30% less in fats, but with the full and robust cheese flavor a great Chicago-style pizza needs. Our staff nutritionist and chef have collaborated and perfected a cheese that is delicious yet healthy.
One taste of Mangia toppings and you’ll know the detail and care we’ve taken to ensure each is of a quality and excellence that can’t be found in other pizzas. Our authentic meat toppings are imported to ensure they’re of the highest quality possible. Our vegetables are straight-off-the-vine farm fresh giving them an extra zing other pizza veggies can’t match.
Put them all together – dough, sauce, cheese, toppings – and the result is a Chicago-style pizza that Ike Sewell would be proud of and pizza connoisseurs have savored since 1988.
And don’t forget: Thanks to our outstanding pies, Mangia was named the “2005 National Independent Pizza Company of the Year” by Pizza Today, the leading trade publication for pizza and Italian cuisine. Since 1990, in poll after poll, Austinites have chosen Mangia as their favorite pizza; no ballot stuffing either – the only stuffing we care about is what’s in each and every pizza that leaves our kitchen.
