    I used to go here all the time when I was a pedicabber, they'd give a 50% discount and treat me really badass. I recently got an office job nearby so I decided to make this place mu go-to place once more. So I showed up and greeted the big dude there and asked for a slice of pizza by pointing at it, to which he replied to saying "which one?". I explained that it was the one at the bottom and left corner, to which he replied "there are two pies there", and I said "the one at the bottom-left corner" in a nice tone. The dude replied once again with "there are two pies there" in a pissed-off tone. I'm a super chill dude, with a hippie attitude most times, but I'm also not a pushover. He must of thought I was because of my office attire or something, so I told him "man, you're an ass". He then screamed "f*** off!" To which I told him "oh yhea, well f*** you too assh*le. If you want to meet me right now outside I'll be right there". He then angrily turned away and left to the back of the kitchen. If you're gonna go around society being an ass, expect to be confronted back. I'm a skinny dude and weigh about 100 lbs less than him but I have no problem standing up to assh*les like that dude. Read the other reviews, it seems like he's always cursing, insulting and angrily screaming at customers (but never actually fights). Do you man, act tough and whatever but don't run away when being confronted back.

    I was in town for a short work trip and stumbled into this place for a late night slice. Don’t expect any frills here (or public bathroom) but hey the pizza was pretty great.

    I love The Onion. Don’t let the size of the location scare you off. It’s a must try location in downtown Austin. It won’t disappoint.

    We had half Carnivore and Supreme, and a big salad. It was All great.

    If I could give this place a zero I would. As a native New Yorker we went into this place on the recommendation of another New Yorker. Highly recommend the pizza. First thing I noticed was the prize. 4.25 for a slice??? Craziness. Then the guy behind the counter proudly proclaimed that it was the cheapest slice downtown. A blatant lie. The Pizzaria around the corner was 2 dollars cheaper and on 6th Street proper. After making a mere observation to my friend that it was a little expensive for a slice. The cashier then started to curse at me saying "if I went to New York with that attitude some one would punch me in the f***ing face". A thinly veiled threat at best. Piss poor customer service at worst. After a brief exchange in which he claimed he wasn't from NYC but spent some time there we left as he began to scream for us to get out. They really need to get better help if the mere observations of a customer ( Which I was... Because I entered with the intent to purchase pizza. ), Will set the help off. After trying the slice my friend bought after the cashier screamed at us to get out. The crust and dough felt soggy and left MUSH to be desired, and as the name suggests the whole pizza smelled like an onion. Bad customer service Bad pizza Bad vibes Stay away!
