If you’ve ever waited in line at <a href="https://baldinucci.pizza" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Baldinucci Pizza Romana’s</a> Westlake Hills shop, you already know Austin has been hungry for more of their Roman-style pizza al taglio. Now, after years of customer requests, the family-owned pizzeria is finally expanding—this time to the walkable, high‑energy <a href="https://austintexasthings.com/article/inside-ma-at-domain-northside-the-insider-guide-to-austins-new-mediterranean-hotspot-everyone-will-be-visiting-this-month">Domain Northside</a>. Opening spring 2026, the new location brings a uniquely European slice culture to one of Austin’s most rapidly evolving dining districts.

Pro Tip
Follow <a href="https://instagram.com/baldinucci.pizza" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">@baldinucci.pizza</a> closely in early 2026—Baldinucci tends to do soft openings and limited menus before full launch, and Instagram is usually where those details drop first.

Note

Domain Northside parking is primarily in structured garages off Rock Rose and Domain Dr. Parking is usually free but can get tight on weekend evenings; plan a few extra minutes to park and walk in.

WHAT MAKES THEIR ROMAN PIZZA SPECIAL

Baldinucci focuses on Roman pizza al taglio—square, airy, long-fermented dough made with imported Italian flour and baked for maximum crunch and tenderness. It’s a completely different experience from Austin’s popular Neapolitan and New York spots.

Pro Tip

Order a mix of different toppings by the slice (or by the tray) and share—Roman al taglio is designed for sampling, and the crisp crust travels and reheats especially well if you bring leftovers home.

Expect favorites like the Sausage & Honey with serrano peppers and mascarpone, the Nonna with slow‑crushed tomatoes and garlic, and the Fig & Arugula with balsamic glaze and optional vegan mozzarella. With roughly 20 pizzas spanning vegan and meat-forward options, plus gluten‑free accommodations, the menu is built for every eater.

WHY DOMAIN NORTHSIDE MAKES SENSE

The location puts Baldinucci among notable destinations and brings Roman pizza to an area brimming with foot traffic. For more on how Rock Rose is evolving as a dining corridor, you can also look at our guide to <a href="https://austintexasthings.com/article/inside-ma-at-domain-northside-the-insider-guide-to-austins-new-mediterranean-hotspot-everyone-will-be-visiting-this-month">Ēma at Domain NORTHSIDE</a>.

For North Austin residents who never make it to Westlake, this expansion finally answers the city’s long-running request for more access.

INSIDER INTELLIGENCE: WHAT AUSTIN CAN EXPECT

  • The interior will lean modern and crisp, similar to Westlake, but adapted for the Domain’s higher-volume flow.
  • Anticipate extended hours compared to the original location—currently 11 AM–9 PM Sun–Thu and 11 AM–10 PM Fri–Sat.
    Current Westlake Hills hours: 11 AM–9 PM Sun–Thu; 11 AM–10 PM Fri–Sat
  • The al taglio case is expected to be larger, offering more by‑the‑cut options for quick grab-and-go.
  • Sources close to the buildout suggest outdoor seating will be a priority, fitting the Rock Rose pedestrian strip.
  • With Domain Northside’s growing global‑cuisine roster, Baldinucci will likely emphasize its Italian-import ingredients even more prominently to stand out.
Heads Up

Expect peak crowds on Thursday–Saturday nights, especially once word gets out. Rock Rose can feel packed, and popular pies may sell out in waves—earlier visits mean the best selection.
