About Via 313 — Detroit-Style Pizza in Houston
We're the team behind via 313 — passionate about bringing authentic Detroit-style square pizza and the via313 tradition to every table in Houston, TX. Real ingredients, real flavor, real community.
How via 313 Brought Detroit to Houston
Via 313 was born out of a love for Detroit-style square pizza — the kind with crispy, caramelized cheese edges, a thick airy crust, and sauce ladled on top. Brothers Brandon and Zane Hunt started via313 in Austin, TX, with nothing more than a passion for their hometown recipes and a desire to share them with the South.
Today, we proudly serve Houston at our Katy Freeway location, delivering the same soulful, hearty pizza that made via 313 a legend. Every pie is handcrafted using our original Detroit dough recipe — no shortcuts, no compromises.
