Spartan

Nicole and Jeremy Portwood began making pizza together at their apartment in New York before they relocated to Austin and decided to give the professional pizza life a go, opening Spartan Pizza in 2009. Originally housed in a 1955 Spartan Imperial Mansion trailer they refurbished on a shoestring budget, they decided to go with the Greek theme, designing their creative New York-style pies around gods and goddesses like Perseus (cilantro pesto, sundried tomato, red onion, artichoke and feta cheese) and Medusa (roasted garlic spread, caramelized onion, crispy bacon, blue cheese and red pepper flake). These days, find them in the brick and mortar they opened in the Corazon building in 2015, just steps down the street from the parking lot where it all began.
