Favorite Pizza / Austin, Texas / 2021 

Favorite Pizza is the neighborhood pizza shop you might have walked into in the 1980s. In contrast to the gussied-up design of sibling restaurant Sammie's Italian, also a MML Hospitality project, Favorite Pizza is no frills. The space is clad with vintage paneling, sparkly linoleum, Formica countertops, Tiffany pendants, disco ball-bathroom, candy vending machine, and wall dedicated to some of our favorite sport teams— including co-owner Larry McGuire’s beloved baseball team, the New York Mets.
