What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Part 1 — Season 29, Episode 16 Aired
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Pieous in the "Mega Meat and Sweet Treats" episode, which aired March 29, 2019, highlighting the pizzeria's wood-fired pies topped with house-made sausage and seasonal ingredients. Pieous is a wood-fired pizzeria at 166 Hargraves Dr in the Driftwood area of the Austin, Texas Hill Country, serving pizza alongside a bakery counter. A September 8, 2026 check of the restaurant's website, pieous.com, found the site live with a same-day last-modified header and a working online ordering widget listing pickup options. Google Places separately lists Pieous as operational at the same address, consistent with the pizzeria continuing to run under its original name in the same Hill Country location. Pieous sits on a rural stretch of Hargraves Drive well outside downtown Austin, a setting that has become part of its identity as a destination pizza spot.
Part 2 — Season 43, Episode 13 Aired
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Triple D Nation revisited Pieous in Austin, TX in the check-in episode "Triple D Nation: Feel-Good Flavor", which aired September 18, 2026, with Guy Fieri returning for its Bacon Bleu pizza with housemade bacon marmalade and Gorgonzola and a spicy green chicken pie, according to Food Network's episode description and a Food Network pizza gallery that credits the restaurant's Bacon Bleu pizza to Triple D Nation's eighth season.
