About Via 313
via 313 is more than a pizza restaurant — it's a tribute to Detroit's soulful food culture, brought to life in Cedar Park, TX. Discover our passion, our people, and the via313 difference.
The Story Behind
via 313 Pizza
Via 313 was born from a deep love of Detroit — its resilience, its culture, and its one-of-a-kind pizza. When founders Brandon and Zane Hunt brought the via 313 concept to Austin and Cedar Park, TX, they carried that spirit with them in every square slice.
Detroit-style pizza is unlike anything else. Baked in well-seasoned steel pans, it features a thick, airy crust with crispy, lacey cheese edges — a style perfected in Motor City pizzerias and now celebrated at every Via 313 location. Our dough is made fresh daily, our sauce is crafted from sun-ripened tomatoes, and our cheese is applied all the way to the edges for that signature caramelized crust.
The name "313" pays homage to Detroit's iconic area code — a badge of pride for a city that forever shaped American food culture. At via313, we honor that legacy while bringing something fresh and exciting to the Texas table. Every pizza we make is a love letter to Detroit, served hot and proud in Cedar Park.
