Via 313

Via 313 is an American pizzeria brand specializing in Detroit-style square pizza. Founded in Austin, Texas, in 2011 by brothers Brandon and Zane Hunt, the brand began as a food trailer on East Sixth Street before expanding into a multi-location restaurant chain. The name "Via 313" is a nod to Detroit's area code 313, reflecting the founders' Michigan roots and the style of pizza they popularized in Texas. Via 313's menu centers on thick, rectangular Detroit-style pizzas with caramelized cheese edges, along with salads, appetizers, and desserts. The brand has grown across the Austin metropolitan area and beyond, operating both full-service restaurants and pickup/delivery locations. Its official website, locations.via313.com, serves as a store locator and ordering portal, listing locations, menus, catering services, and career opportunities. As a privately held company, Via 313 does not disclose detailed financial information. It has received recognition in the food media for bringing Detroit-style pizza to national attention and has been listed among notable pizza restaurants in the United States. The brand continues to expand its footprint in Texas and other markets.

Via 313 was founded in 2011 by brothers Brandon and Zane Hunt, who moved from Michigan to Austin, Texas, and began selling Detroit-style pizza from a food trailer on East Sixth Street. The name references Detroit's 313 area code. The brand gained a following for its rectangular, thick-crust pizza with crispy, caramelized cheese edges, a style rooted in Detroit's Sicilian-influenced baking tradition. After operating as a trailer, Via 313 expanded into brick-and-mortar restaurants in Austin, including locations on East Sixth Street, Rainey Street, and in the Domain and Oak Hill areas. The company also opened a location in San Antonio. Its growth reflected broader national interest in regional American pizza styles during the 2010s. Via 313 operates a website at locations.via313.com that functions as a store locator and online ordering platform, listing menus, catering, careers, and location details. The brand remains privately held and continues to expand within Texas.
