Baldinucci Pizza Romana's Domain NORTHSIDE location opened on Monday, Aug. 17 — just a week after its Westlake counterpart closed for expansion — serving up New York and Roman-style slices, gelato, wine, and coffee.

The family-owned restaurant is co-owned by twin brothers Gabriel and Salvatore Baldinucci, plus Sal's wife Patricia, who grew up working in their father's pizza restaurant on Long Island.

So what is Roman-style pizza? At first glance, the square slices might look like Detroit-style pizza, but there are distinct differences — namely its thick and airy dough. At the opening event, Gabriel said the team plans to open 10 locations in Austin, then expand to Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston.

Before you go, here's what we recommend:

A Diablo slice, which comes with provolone, spicy sopressata, and house-made hot honey
A potato slice with provolone, Romano, mozzarella, and rosemary
A scoop of pistachio gelato
Affogato made with vanilla gelato
