La Volta Test Kitchen: Crafting Austin’s Best Pizza and Italian Food Through Community Feedback

How La Volta Test Kitchen Is Looking To Redefine Austin’s Best Pizza & Italian Food

At La Volta Pizza Club, we’re obsessed with perfection—which is why we launched La Volta Test Kitchen, a monthly gathering where our supporters and members of our community help shape the future of our menu. We just ran our first Test Kitchen and, thanks to your feedback, we’re rolling out brand-new lunch items (available for to-go on Uber Eats and DoorDash starting July 1st) and refining our recipes to deliver not just the best pizza in Austin and beyond, but the best drinks and overall food as well. Here’s what’s coming—and why your taste buds matter.

New Menu Items (Launching July 1st for To-Go Lunch)

1. Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap (Based on Your Feedback!)

  • Why It’s Special:

    • In-house made fresh tortilla - inspired by the best Mexican spots around town

    • 24-hour brined chicken - for unmatched flavor, tenderness and juciness

    • Homemade Caesar dressing and Chili oil - for the perfect kick.

  • Why It’s a Must-Try: "Austin is dying to find the best Chicken Caesar Wrap. We think we have a winner."

2. Il Paradiso - Cold Cut Sandwich (A Mexican-Italian Fusion)

  • What’s Inside:

    • Escabeche + Calabrian chili mix (bold, tangy, spicy)

    • Four Different Cold Cuts (Ham, Mortadella, Capicola, Salami)

    • Optional Stracciatella (for creamy richness)

    • Telera bread option (to make it a torta-style sub)

  • Why It Stands Out: "We’re carving our own lane with this one—this is Austin’s next obsession."

3. La Esperanza - Meatball Sub (With A Classic La Volta Twist)

  • Why The Hype:

    • Our glorious Cacio e Pepe sauce (directly on the sub or as a side)

    • Homemade meatballs (always prepared fresh)

    • Red pepper flakes + fresh basil (for a spicy, aromatic kick)

  • "You may need to clear out you schedule for this one"
