Pedroso’s Pizza has quietly slid into Airport Boulevard with a second Austin outpost, bringing the trailer‑born slice operation a lot closer to east Austin neighborhoods. The walk‑up slice shop started serving customers Feb. 28 at 3850 Airport Blvd. and is run by owners Thiago Vasconcelos and Alissa Gibson. The move is the latest step in the couple’s expansion from a Burnet Road food trailer into multiple takeout spots around the city.

As reported by Community Impact, the Airport location offers specialty, American and Sicilian‑style pies finished with pecorino, garlic extra‑virgin olive oil and oregano, plus appetizers including meatballs, breadsticks and salads. Community Impact also notes the shop serves a range of sub sandwiches and that the owners launched the second location in late February.

Where it is and how it operates

The Pedroso’s Pizza site lists the new spot as a slice‑shop takeout window at 3850 Airport Blvd. and provides hours and a contact number for orders. The website also traces the business back to a 12‑by‑7 food trailer on Burnet Road in 2020 and says the team later moved into a Crestview storefront as they expanded.

From trailer to multiple outposts

Owners Thiago Vasconcelos and Alissa Gibson bring a background in pizza and hospitality to the new shop. Vasconcelos trained in the Bay Area and worked at well‑known pizzerias before launching Pedroso’s, the Austin Chronicle reported. The Chronicle’s profile describes how the couple pivoted to a trailer during the pandemic and built a following that helped them grow into additional locations around the Austin area.

Why the expansion makes sense

The move to a permanent slice window reflects a broader local pattern of popular trailers and pop‑ups graduating into storefronts to keep up with steady demand and delivery volume. Pedroso’s owners discussed those operational choices, including when to close the trailer during extreme heat and how they scaled capacity, on a Pizza Today episode that outlines how the business adapted while growing its footprint.

How to order

For menus, hours and online ordering, Pedroso’s points customers to its official site. Pedroso’s Pizza lists both the Airport Boulevard shop and its Justin Lane takeout location for pickup and delivery.
