Via 313 Pizza is a restaurant company based in Austin, Texas, employing 51 to 200 people. The business was founded in December 2011 by two brothers from Detroit, who started it in a small trailer on East 6th Street and Waller in East Austin with the aim of introducing a different kind of pizza to the city. Over time the company expanded to multiple locations, and by its eighth year it had five locations, continuing to offer pizza and related service. In 2026 the company appointed Kip Welsch as president to drive multi-market growth with Savory Fund backing and formed a partnership with Terry Black's Barbecue to launch a limited-time pizza and a separate special-edition menu item called The Desperado. Via 313 has earned industry recognitions, including being named among the top pizzas in America by Food Network, being recognized by Pizza Today as Independent Pizzeria of the Year, and being cited by Food and Wine Magazine as among the very best pizzas; it was also named the nation's top gluten-free pizzeria in USA TODAY 10Best's 2025 Readers' Choice Awards.
