Best pizza in Austin imo. Prices are high but the pizzas are a really good size and more filling than you might think. The hot honey pepperoni and the margherita d.o.p. are my go to. Enough seating both inside and outside. I highly recommend. read more

July 18, 2026 review We ordered a pickup for vegetarian verdura pizza, it got ready in 15-20 mins. It was looking very crispy when I picked it up but got little soggy by the time I reached home. Heated it up again but wasn't that crispy but overall the taste was good. Pickup area is separate on the left when you enter. I'm going to try dine in next time. Really cool sticker to keep the pizza box closed. read more

Over Eats delivery for dinner last night. NY Style cheese pizza with sausage, 5 meatballs, chopped salad, and pistachio cannoli. Overall solid dinner, nice packaging, and decent price for Austin. The great: Cannoli large, firm, but too hard of a shell, tasty chocolate chips on the ends, and fresh tasting stuffing - creamy and delicious. And, great value! The very good: Meatball. Nice size, pork and beef (I think), tasty red sauce. Quite Italian. Good value. The good, but: Chopped salad. Good size, a lot of meat, balsamic was tasty, good cheese, but not a legit chopped salad. Real chopped salad- go to Tony Cs. Pizza - Tasted fine, but too doughy for legit NY style pizza (and, I grew up in NY and get there 2-3x a year). Skimpy on the sausage, but excellent flavor/tasty. Would I order from here again. Probably not, as the non-pizza options are limited and the pizza was just okay. read more

I tried DeSano Pizzeria since I was in the area and although the food was fine, I wouldn't go out of my way to go again. The lunch size Lasagna pizza tasted ok. The crust is great and the marinara sauce is delicious, but overall it didn't wow me. I also got the focaccia bread. It's more flat and dense than what I am used to but it had a nice chew to it, and it came with butter and the delicious marinara sauce on the side. Unfortunately the finishing salt was sprinkled so heavily I had to use a napkin to wipe off the top. The inside of the restaurant is large and customers can see what's going on in the kitchen, which was cool. read more

This place is incredible! Wow! We were visiting Austin from Houston, and this was one of our favorite meals. It is some of the most delicious pizza our family has ever eaten. We loved the atmosphere, the ambiance, and the service was really great as well. They were bringing our food to our table as we were sitting down. (How can anyone be that fast?!?!) The focaccia bread is a must with the butter. Don't think you don't need it because you have pizza coming. Trust me... order it with your salad! It is insanely delicious! Great place, and we can't wait to go back next trip. read more

I stopped by DeSano for lunch this past weekend. The restaurant is quite spacious, with plenty of tables inside and outside. The staff is very kind and friendly. They offer a wide variety of pizzas and drinks on the menu. I ordered the Americana (NY style), which had a lot of cheese and fresh tomato flavor. I also got the Italian hot honey pepperoni pizza, which was my personal favorite. The savory, salty pepperoni paired perfectly with the sweet honey. If you want an extra boost of garlic flavor, highly recommend ordering a side of garlic butter to dip your pizza in. For dessert, I ordered the pistachio cannoli. The shell was very crispy, and the cream was light and fairly sweet. They were generous with the pistachios, which added an addictive crunch. There's a reason DeSano's pizzas attract so many customers. Their crust is thin and deliciously chewy, and their pizzas are flavorful. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

The pizza was good, but not spectacular. The salad was okay, but also not something I'll be thinking about. The service was mid, as the kids say. There's a sign that directs you to wait until the register is available. So we waited and read. But, it doesn't take 15 minutes to read the whole menu. In the meantime two ladies were chatting and one guy came to the register and just stood there and looked around- mostly to everywhere, but us. We were contemplating leaving and just dealing with the parking at Home Slice, but then we finally got some attention. We placed our order for a salad, pizza, and two drinks. Pricey for the offerings. The salad was out before I could even blink. It was large, the veggies were crisp and fresh, the cheese was good, but not particularly flavorful. The dressing was pretty good- nice and tangy. The winner was the piece of warm bread. Mmmmm.... And then maybe 30 minutes went by.... The salad was long gone, people that came in after us sat, ate, and were nearly done and nothing. We still has our pager and it was silent. We finally got the attention of the man that took our order. Apparently, our order didn't make it into the system. So they got it through, brought it out, and gave us a canoli as well. The pizza was tasty and nice and chewy. A bit more crunch to hold it up would be nice, but it was good and I was hungry. We took the canoli to go. I'm not a fan of this dessert in general, but the cream was delicious. Would I come back, I don't know. Our go to places in Austin are Home Slice and Pint House. We thought we would try something new, but this was not for us. read more

Easily the best pizza in town- they are one of the few places in the country that gets real ingredients flown in - and they don't stop there; check out those legit ovens! All the ingredients are fresh and the quality is apparent from the very first bite. Try this place and you won't be disappointed read more

Hadn't been to DeSano in a few years and decided to swing by for lunch before an appointment nearby. We ordered the new pizza, hot honey pepperoni and it was perfectly flavored. The hot honey gave it just the right amount of sweet and heat to pair with the little pepperoni circles that had the perfect amount of crisp. As always, the dough was both soft and charred and mouthwatering. I love that they have shredded basil available to top off your pizza with as well. They have large family style seating inside and they also have tables out front to sit at. The staff are friendly and attentive. If you're looking for an authentic spot with fresh ingredients do yourself a favor and give them a visit! read more

This is a solid napolitan style pizza place. Even by Italian standards this is a good pizza. At lunch there's next to no line so try going earlier versus at dinner. Prices are high but you get a quality that you pay for. There is free basil and garlic and oil avaliable after you order which is an excellent touch. I'd come back any time. read more

DeSano's is THE BEST pizza in Austin. We drive one hour to come here. Each and every time they are consistent. Their crust is so fresh, perfectly thin, and brick oven toasted. Their sauce is out of this world . They order most of their ingredients from Italy. For the quality of ingredients and the size you get their prices are more than fair. The staff is so friendly. It's fun to watch them make the pizzas in the open kitchen. Our favorites are the Desano and the San Gennaro. I highly recommend the meatballs as an appetizer. We love the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic they keep out as condiments for your pizza. And finally you HAVE to get the cannolis for dessert. Our son won't let us share he loves them so much. read more

I'm assuming a more authentic experience for Italian pizza. The pizza I got had some form of salted ham? artichoke and mushroom -- of overall packed with great flavors but the ham or slices of meat were a bit too salty. You get punched w the saltiness as it enters your mouth but the other flavors helps balance it a bit. The staff are sweet, welcoming, knowledgeable and it seems like a great spot to have drink with friends or family. I'd come again but try a different type of pizza! Prices are fair. read more

This place was really good, a little more on the pricey side but the food was great. We ordered a white pizza with hot honey. Yum. That's my jam lately.

Casual spot to grab some pizza! The salads are solid and the pizzas themselves are pretty good! They have a lot of interesting flavors, making it kind of hard to make a choice on what you want to eat. But the pizzas are so thin, that you can choose several. I, personally, prefer pizza that is a little thicker and has some chew to it. But yeah, it takes a few more pizzas to get everyone full because they are pretty thin, and I wish there was some more meat and toppings. And so it is on the pricier side. But the food in itself is good! read more

I've been wanting to try Desano's for the longest time and I'm so glad I finally did. This pizza joint is truly a gem. The restaurant space is very modern with lots of cool displays including a Vespa (how fitting.) The tables are picnic style so it's a great place to bring a group of people to enjoy some mouth watering pizza. We ordered the Lasagna pizza and let me tell you, every bite was a flavorful tastebud party. You can taste the fresh out of the brick oven taste and the crisp it gives the crust and dough. The ingredients were fresh and the portion was very generous. I was too full to try the Nutella dessert calzone but I will definitely be ordering it the next time. Service was fast and easy. We got there an hour before closing and there was no line. You just walk up to the counter to place your order and they bring it out to you. I highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for a delectable Napoletana style pizza. You won't regret it! read more

Years after my first review and I'm still coming back. Dining in is definitely the way to go. The space is really cool, decent amount of people and overall chill vibe. Plus I don't think their crust would travel well. Pricing is still pretty high for most items. Would be nice if they had a happy hour. Also, the focaccia is very flat like pizza dough and doesn't have a fluffy center. read more

Amazing authentic Napoli style pizza offered at this cozy fast casual spot on Burnet! Counter service with a variety of pizzas to choose from, bottled beverages and Peroni on tap. As first timers we opted for The DeSano for my girlfriend and I, and a margherita pizza without basil for the kids. Everything was so delicious! The bread was soft, the cheese was so fresh, and the sauce was flavorful. The open kitchen concept was fun for the kids to see how pizzas were made. 10/10 for the ambiance, pizza and service! read more

Desanos is an Austin staple, one of the best pizza shops in town. On our most recent visit my husband and I got the pig and the roasted garlic and sausage pizza with a cup of spicy whipped butter(please desanos sell this in a gallon jar for me to take home lol). The pig was amazing, as usual. The dough is thin until you reach the crust which is thick and flavorful(good on its own but seriously dip it in the whipped butter it's amazing). The mozerella cheese is the perfect and doesn't draw away from the meat which is the star of the show. As a meat lover this is everything you could want and more in a meaty pizza. 10/10 cannot recommend this pizza enough. As for the roasted garlic and sausage... unsure if it was a bad day or not but I don't think I would get it again. All of the ingredients pooled together in the middle causing it to be wet. The garlic cloves tasted good but in my opinion would be better if they were cut in half. It was overwhelming biting into a slice and tasting just roasted garlic. The sausage was also a bit of a let down, while the texture was nice it didn't have any flavor. The dough and marinara sauce were amazing but not enough to carry the pizza. I will say it was slightly better when I warmed it up the next day but still wouldn't get it again. Staff are always friendly, restaurant is always clean and the food comes out relatively quickly without compromising the quality. Overall this visit was a 3.75/5 just because the roasted garlic and sausage was a let down. read more

In town for work and always love to find the best pizza spot, I found it. DeSano Pizzeria has mastered the craft of making a pizza. I ordered the DeSano. Well worth getting their hot honey if that's your thing. The homemade garlic butter is fantastic! For dessert go ahead and treat yourself to one of their Canolis. Can't wait to come back and try something else next time. Daisy at the front gave an amazing recommendation and service, thank you! read more

Burnet Road location Nice place. Has outside seating. Service was good. Friendly staff. Food? Eh. I don't get the amount of stars. I had the Italian hot honey pepperoni. The taste was not bad. Very oily so the whole top slid off the crust. Both of these things are easily overlooked and not a big deal. The crust itself... not the best. I'm expecting some burnt areas based on the oven it's cooked in. The whole bottom being burnt though? That's a bit much. Half of the 12 inch was burnt black. Not a fan. Would I try it again? Maybe. Only if someone else was paying though. Unfortunately, forgot to take pics. read more

The pizza here is very good. No complaints at all. The price is steep for what you get.

My family and I returned to DeSano Pizzeria for a goodbye dinner for my son who's heading back to college. We parked, walked in and waited in line to place our order. Upon arriving at the ordering station we placed our order with a man that took our order carefully. He repeated our order back to us we paid, got our buzzer and took a seat. Several people brought out our food as it was made so it was fresh out of the large pizza ovens that they have. The restaurant is well lit and has many places to sit. It is a family friendly atmosphere. After waiting for about 10 minutes we got our starter Faccacia bread with marinara sauce. It was really good. The bread was fluffy and not heavy. The marinera sauce had flavor. It was a good dipping sauce. For my main dish I ordered the Margherita Pizza which has tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil. I don't really care for basil so I removed it from my pizza. The pizza was delicious. I ate it with Garlic Butter which I recommend trying. The pizza dough was thin but the crust was thicker. The pizza was hot and mozzarella was melted which I liked. Overall the restaurant is bright with plenty of seating, easy ordering process, and the pizza is yummy. It's one of our favorite places to eat pizza. read more

I'm choosy with my pizza, favoring the Italian, and DeSano is authentic Neopolitan, perfected the Old World way. Shared a Spinach Salad - lightly dressed, shaved parmesan with artichoke & mushroom for earthiness, cranberries for sweet & tart contrast. I'm all about the crust, and theirs is wood-fired, chewy, and bubbly all-around. The Italian "Hot Honey" Pepperoni was a little on the sweet side, perked right up with some red pepper. Coming back for a Vesuvio Calzone and (always, my favorite, an archetype) Nutella Dessert Pizza. Maybe even take a class at their new Pizza School! read more

I love this DeSano location as much as the one on Lavaca. The rustic Neapolitan crust is primo. Thin and made with water, flour, yeast, and salt. The crust has a nice crispness to it without being dried out or lacking in flavor. Quality and premium ingredients for the sauces and toppings. The open-kitchen and being able to watch pizzas being made right in front of you has a bit of an Italian vibe. Like actually being in Italy. I'm an east coast pizza snob and there are just a handful of places in Austin that get it right. DeSano is one of them (both locations)! read more

I was in town and I saw the good reviews so I ordered it via Uber Eats. It showed up cold. What can you expect? It's Uber eats. I bet you the meal would've been 1000 times better if I ate at the actual restaurant. So with that being said, I'll give them four stars. The pizza was cold, but it was still good. I really wish I could've tried it piping hot but oh well this is the gamble you take when you use Uber eats. Next time I'm in the area I'll probably try to go eat there at the location. Solid four stars. read more

Get the hot honey pepperoni pizza and caprese salad. This is top 3 pizza in the Austin area. I ordered it 3 days in a row it was so good.

Solid pizza spot! We got the Desano's pizza in the largest size which was $30. From the description on the menu, I was expecting more meat. The dough was really good though, the flavor was clean and fresh. But for me personally, the pizza is so thin that it doesn't leave you as full as other pizza establishments would. They have dessert pizzas too which look good! There's lots of seating, so it's great for a big party or large family. Parking can be found in the front as well as in the back of the establishment. read more

A little pricey but very, very good pizza. Our order was ready in like 10 minutes, so probably had a few ready to warm up or cook. Didn't matter at all, it was very fresh. Staff were great, and the Burnet location has a cool feel. There were a lot of kids running all over the place that day, but hey -- that's what kids do! Get over it lol. We'll be back -- hopefully with a coupon. ;) read more

I was in here recently. After remembering last minute that it was my wedding anniversary, I scoured Burnet on the way home from work that settled on the idea that I could quickly pick up some cannolis. I'll admit, waiting for the cannolis was a bit of a surprise, but cannolis are made to order and it's good for a place to be busy. In addition to being able watch the people make the pizzas, stretch the dough and whatnot, I had time to read my book. Regardless, one of the staff observed my waiting, and while he went to go check on my number, I got my cannolis. I thoroughly appreciate the consideration. Now, I've eaten pizzas here before and they're good. Nice bouncy crust, great variety of cured meats, and ricotta everywhere. I had not eaten their cannolis before a few days ago. They're intense. I'm not a cannoli connoisseur by any means, but I could only eat half and I needed to save the other half for the next day. TLDR: good food, considerate staff read more

Pizza was great - with wood fired pizza the crust can be really tough sometimes but the crust was perfect consistency. Service was great too - the guy at the counter cracked a joke when he saw my Darth Vader debit card! One thing is that some of the pizza was a little too salty for me. They're smaller than you would expect too. read more

DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana - Desano 16" and Capricciosa Pizza 12". - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Another 5-star experience for DeSano. I'd be lying if I didn't think DeSano is the best pizza place in all of Texas. I now live in Houston, and I probably think about DeSano at least once a month and how I wish they were in Houston. All the ingredients imported from Italy (maybe minus the water). None of those blasphemous things like ranch dressing or pineapple, just good ol' ingredients from the motherland. The margherita DOP is one of the classics, oh so perfectly balanced. This pizza makes wheat taste GOOD. The acidity of the tomato sauce, cheesiness of the... cheese, oh my god, it even has some char. You get the pizza pretty quickly. Plenty of seating, with paper towels, cheese, and red peppers. Restrooms are clean, and they restock the soap frequently. Move over Mona Lisa, Neapolitan pizza is the greatest Italian masterpiece. I give DeSano 5 chef's kisses, out of 5. read more

I've heard a lot about this place and wanted to try it. The pizza is very good and the quality is solid. It is kinda loud in the restaurant, so not the best place to have a conversation. We got the Margherita and it was really good. The crust was cooked well and it was thin, but it was flavorful. We also got two free meatballs when one of the staff came over and told us they had extras. The meatballs were delicious! They tasted homemade and the marinara sauce was yummy. I definitely want to try their other pizzas. They are on the pricier side for pizzas. read more

DeSano is in my rotation of pizza places here. It's consistently good, relatively fast, and has fresh, authentic ingredients. I find it really cool that their pizza ovens are even shipped from Italy! Literally bringing Italy to Texas! Genius! And it definitely shows in the quality and flavor of their food. They have long wooden tables, great for big groups (co workers, family, friends, & everything in between) but can also be cozy for a smaller table!
