About Via 313
Born in Detroit, raised in Texas. Discover the passion, people, and authentic flavors behind every square slice we craft.
A Detroit Dream in the Heart of Texas
Via 313 was founded by brothers Brandon and Zane Hunt — two Detroit natives who moved to Austin, TX and couldn't find a proper Detroit-style pizza anywhere. In 2011, they turned a food trailer into a pizza phenomenon, bringing the thick, crispy-edged, cheese-forward squares of their hometown to the Lone Star State.
Named after Detroit's area code, Via 313 isn't just a restaurant — it's a love letter to a city, a cuisine, and a way of life. Every pizza is made with the same dedication to craft that the brothers poured into that very first trailer: quality ingredients, honest recipes, and uncompromising attention to the perfect bake.
Today, Via 313 has grown into a beloved San Antonio institution, serving thousands of happy customers from our location at 7010 W Loop 1604 N. The trailer spirit lives on — bold, unpretentious, and absolutely delicious.
