The restaurant serves Detroit-style pizza and has five total Austin locations, including its original East Austin food trailer.

During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the pizzeria has been offering no-contact pickup service at all of its locations. According to a post on the restaurant’s social media pages April 28, Via 313 is not planning to open its dining rooms May 1.
