Today we’d like to introduce you to Nasser Yaghi.
Hi Nasser, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
In 1999, in a quiet corner of Texas at the time, Bee Caves, we realized something was missing: a really good pizza. At the time, the neighborhood only had one pizza shop and it was chain — nothing that captured the warmth and quality of a true family-style pizzeria. So we decided to do something about it.
With little more than a handful of family recipes, a lot of heart, and a tiny storefront, we opened our first pizzeria in 1999, located in the Bee Caves H-E-B shopping center. Word spread slowly, but surely — this was the kind of pizza people talked about, the kind they came back for. Over the years, the little business grew into something much bigger. One restaurant became two, then three. Eventually, we had seven pizzerias across Austin and San Antonio, each one staying true to the original mission: serve great quality food, made with care.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not all locations were successful. We had one location in Westlake that didn’t take. It was a large store, not our standard model. We left that location and haven’t looked back.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
About Yaghi’s Pizzeria
At Yaghi’s, we’re not just another pizza shop — we’re a community favorite rooted in authentic New York-style pizza tradition brought right here to Texas and other locations we serve. Since we opened our doors, our mission has always been simple: make pizza the way we believe it should be made — with heart, heritage, and premium ingredients.
What We Do & What We’re Known For
We specialize in stone-baked, hand-tossed New York-style pizza that hits all the marks: thin yet chewy crust, flavorful sauce, and toppings piled generously. Our pizzas are crafted with:
Dough prepared fresh every single day
A secret tomato sauce blended from top quality tomatoes and spices
100% all-natural mozzarella cheese
In-house made meats — from our sausage and meatballs to seasoned chicken and steak
Whether it’s a classic Margherita, a hearty Meat Pizza, or specialty combinations like Spinach Roasted Garlic Chicken or Buffalo Chicken Wing Pizza, each pie reflects our commitment to authenticity and real flavor.
But we’re more than pizza — our menu also includes salads, calzones, subs, wings, pizza rolls, and more, giving our customers plenty of ways to enjoy Yaghi’s.
