About Pinthouse Pizza - Round Rock
Pinthouse Pizza's expansion to Round Rock brought their award-winning combination of craft beer and creative pizza to the growing northern suburbs. Located in the Hoppe Trail development, this location serves families, professionals, and craft beer enthusiasts throughout Williamson County.
The Round Rock Pinthouse maintains the same commitment to quality that made the Austin locations famous. On-site brewing produces the same award-winning beers, and the kitchen delivers the same exceptional pizzas—including their popular gluten-free crust option.
For gluten-free residents of Round Rock and north Austin, this location is a game-changer. No longer do you need to drive into central Austin for quality GF pizza—Pinthouse Round Rock brings the same ancient grain crust made with sorghum, amaranth, and teff right to your neighborhood.
Two Things Worth Having
Pinthouse offers a gluten-free crust, which puts the whole question on how the kitchen handles it rather than whether an option exists.
A GF crust assembled on a shared surface or cut with a shared wheel is not gluten-free by the time it reaches you. A card gets that specific question asked without a negotiation.

For the weeks you would rather not gamble on a shared oven. This is the flour blend that actually behaves like pizza dough instead of cracker.
View on AmazonAsk specifically about the cutting wheel and the prep surface. A dedicated crust and a shared cutter is the most common way GF pizza goes wrong.
