When you want to eat at home, these restaurants in Austin are the best for takeout.

Coming home late from work, the last thing you want to do is cook a gourmet meal for the family. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t eat “home-cooked” as if it were fresh off the grill. Here is the much-demanded list of our top picks for dinner in a dash.

Pieous Pizza

Easy as PIE! The classic “pizza for dinner?” doesn't apply here—Pieous’ Neopolitan pizzas are made from scratch on sourdough crust. Being a family-owned restaurant, their fresh food tastes soulful and full of life as if it were from their own home kitchen. Pastrami is a staple here, and if you’re curious before going, you can check out their episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. pieous.com
