The Best Pizza in San Antonio, by the Record

The best pizza in San Antonio, by the professional record: 50 Top Pizza and San Antonio Express-News have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Il Forno comes out on top.

Dough Pizzeria Napoletana and Aldo's Ristorante Italiano hold the next two places. San Antonio Express-News shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with 50 Top Pizza next.

  1. Rank 1. Il Forno

    Neapolitan Pizza

    Wood-decked and genuinely neighborhood in feel, this Neapolitan pizza spot on the south side draws regulars who know the margherita is the thing to order. The crust is soft and blistered the way San Antonio rarely pulls off, and Italian wines by the glass keep prices honest. Patio seating handles groups without the chaos, and the kitchen moves fast enough that you never feel forgotten. 50 Top Pizza USA ranked it among the top 25 in the country.
