We decided to eat here one night because it was only about a mile from our beach rental. We planned to grab some tiki drinks at Tiki Jays, take the outside and watch the baby run around for a while, then eat dinner. Everything about this place was great except one thing. They furnished the place with chairs that look like replicas of those old-fashioned metal/wood chairs we used before they started making one piece desk/chair combos with molded plastic seats. They really looked nice in the venue. But, unfortunately, they were horribly loud whenever you moved them. It just echoed through the place every time someone sat down. NOTE to owner/manager: Go buy several cans of tennis balls. Cut an X in them and shove them on the feet of the chairs. That is what school teachers have done for years. Okay... back to the more important stuff. The drinks here were really good. I knew I could only have one as the driver. Two and I would have hiked home on the beach. Good cocktails seem to be a theme at most Port Aransas restaurants. For my meal, I chose the meatball hoagie. It was really good, even it it wasn't the kind I grew up on in New Jersey. The roll was toasted and crunchy. The meatballs were obviously house made. The sauce was perfect. I had the chopped Italian salad as my side. It goes right into my top ten salads of all time. It had so many good things thrown together that I won't even bother to list them. Just trust me... It was a great salad. I expected this to be a super expensive venue. It is in the Cinnamon Shores Resort complex. That is a pretty upscale place, in general. But really, this meal, even with the drinks, was no more than a family dinner at a San Antonio Italian restaurant. The service here was great. I didn't keep any receipts on this trip, so I don't remember our servers name, but she was fantastic. read more

Pizza was floppy, cool, and soupy in the middle. The rest of the pizza except for the very center, was outstanding in every way. Meats, cheese, sauce, crust all perfectly fine. Not sure if they're pulling the pies out too early or if there is something wrong with their oven. Cesar salad was good. Italian donuts were an excellent dessert. Maybe it was an off night for them? A lot of people are ranking Dylan's among the best in Texas. I definitely see great potential. We'll go back and try them again. read more

Sat at the bar and ate there Nothing to write home about. Sub par pizza Had a fly in my draft beer, showed it to the young bartender who simply said "ya, that happens sometimes" with no offer to pour a replacement Saw a lot of dust piling up around the entrance to the kitchen. Very high volume place that really doesn't have to worry about making sure the customer is satisfied. Slightly better than the tourist slop they serve in town. read more

Nice, casual place in the heart of Cinnamon Shores. Pizzas are fresh with handmade crust. They cost about $20 each and are 12 inch. You can most likely split one if you're not a super big eater. There are six pieces and two filled up my wife. I was good with 3. The server was very nice. The only issue was the wait. We were seated at about 8pm and didn't get the pizzas until after 9. It's not a big place and it wasn't full. We realized the issue was the to-go/delivery orders. There were tons. read more

WOW! As a former NYC pizza expert, I have been searching for...won't tell you how long, for EXCELLENT PIZZA. DYLAN'S the real deal. Perfect coal oven pizza, with exceptional toppings. Ok, so from being from NYC I am very particular and clear, about how I want my pizza prepared. And, Dylans did exactly as I requested. It was so yummy, I can't wait to return. I can already envision my scale climbing, but, for great pizza, that's ok. And kudos to McKenzie for communicating my requests to the kitchen, and for them, for honoring them. Plus McKenzie was such a delight. She greeted us as first time visitors, explained Cinnamon Shores and Dylans, and was attentive and fun. My only recommendation is not to sit outside. As delightful and inviting as it was the flies were fierce. They liked our pizza as much as we did. We finally had it boxed and savored it at home . Truthfully, I did have another regret...my son is DYLAN and they didn't sell their shirts. Maybe one day. I'll keep checking, as I'm looking forward to another visit very soon. read more

I loved this pizza. I would go so far to say it was perfect. They use the cup and char pepperonis, which are my favorite. It was a lovely atmosphere and McKenzie was so nice and delightful to talk to. I already know I have to come back to try a couple other menu items, spefically the wings and the burrata salad. read more

Absolutely incredible Pizza!! I was shocked how good this was I have a whole story but you're not going to read it. JUST KNOW: - This pizza smells better than any other you've ever had. - it's the best pizza I've ever had in Texas, maybe the US - it's worth the wait and money $$$$ - you're on vacation so SPOIL YOURSELF I'm not Dave portnoy but I've have had a lot of good pizza all over the US. From NY to Htown to San Diego. This is the ONLY PIZZA worth making a review The smell alone lets you know how fresh and dynamic the ingredients and sauce are. Pay the $100 and get all 5 pizzas on the menu and you can thank me later read more

Our first time visiting Port Aransas and we do enjoy a very good pizza! We found Dylan's and had a very relaxing evening with a great, generous salami serving green salad, wood burn pies, wonderful dessert and drinks to top us off! although it felt like a challenge being seated during to the busyness and the number of guests but it all paned out as we sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting 'Tarja'! she was relaxed yet attentive to each customer and she took really good care of us! We were so pleased we decided on & found Dylan's! The wait is worth it for the quality and the genuine taste of their food! We will definitely return, cheers! Fun fact: Dylans was voted #1 for Best Pizza and the voters have surely spoken Truth! read more

Pizza great! Excellent crust. Fresh. Yummy. Ordered "chopped" Italian salad. Except it wasn't chopped. It was like any regular salad. If it had been chopped I'd have given them 5 stars. Why does this matter? Because in a chapped Italian salad you get all the ingredients in each bite. Instead of you want that, you'd have to make 50 cuts to the salad. I wouldn't order ed ed that salad again, but 9/10 for the pizza. read more

We've always come here for a more upscale pizza night when we're in town. They have gluten free which is a requirement for me so it's always been an easy choice. Service is really what needs attention here. I can't remember her name but she was just plain inattentive. Wrote down my order but it was still wrong. When she finally came back outside, mind you there was one family inside with 3-4 outside. I had a list of things we needed, like a refill on a drink since we had been waiting so long, the correct toppings for my pizza (I legit only added one thing..) and parm and pepper. All pretty normal pizza place things you think we would've been supplied with. I guess I've also just had way better burrata in the last few months and this wasn't all that. Good enough and dipped my crust in too to eat it all. I don't know, call us crazy but I wasn't happy with the experience and neither was my husband. Our first time here a few years back had been GREAT! But it seems like some places are failing at service while others are flying. We were hungry, just finished a maternity shoot and this was closest on our way back. read more

We were in Port Aransas for a couple of nights and stumbled upon this pizzeria. Everything from the service, to the vibe to the taste was amazing. We got their pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni and it hit the spot. Their pizzas are hand tossed and the wait time wasn't too long either. I am not a huge pizza fan, but this was good. Before heading back we decided to have a final stop here for lunch AGAIN! read more

Well... it's Port A. Food was actually pretty good. We've got a 3 and 5 year old that loved the butter noodles. Pizza was fine but on a relatively calm evening (no wait) it took about 30 minutes for our pizza. Offered ranch, with no mention of a $1 upsell (pet peeve of mine). HVAC above our table kept dropping condensation on our pizza (Port A, so no harm here, just moved our pizza, haha). Beers were all listed $1 less on the menu than were actually charged on the bill (oh, they must be outdated.. okay... Sure). 2 stars for shady ranch and beer pricing and long pizza wait. Would be a solid 5* for food alone. Maybe we should get it to go... read more

Pizzas were legit! Wings are mid. Waitime was questioned. Be patient as this place gets busy during spring break.

Really easy takeout options available, and you can bring the boxes and sit in the open park area and listen to live music. They had a great selection of pizza choices and the pizza was cooked perfectly. read more

The guy hostess has no idea what he's doing unable to seat people, says wait is an hour then we check and they gave our table away! Then it was another 45 min. Food was good the server was good. They also were very busy for a Monday night read more

By far...by far...the best pizza in the Port A & Rockport. Now don't equate 'best" to "affordability." You're on vacation, live it up! You will not regret it. read more

I really enjoyed my gluten free pizza would definitely order that again! The service was very good and hannah was attentive to our needs. The white pizza from what i was told wasn't anything great , was pretty bland with no flavor . The Cesar salad was good wasn't over dressed which was nice! The flat bread wasn't anything special or worth getting again. Bathrooms are clean and individual . The don't have happy but liked the back patio' would eat the gluten free again read more

LOVED LOVED everything we ordered but be prepared to wait as this is a popular spot in a very beachside town. We waited 1 hour but it was worth the wait and we were a party of 6 so knew it would be a bit. Anyhow we started with the burrata caprese and lemon pepper wings. As entrees we had the pizza tradzionale, spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sub and chicken parmigiana (which we forgot to take a pic of). Our server was super hospitable and friendly. Our courses took a bit to come out but they were super busy so we held tight and enjoyed our drinks and conversation. Don't know how often I'll be in Port Arsansa but when I am I will make sure to always stop at Dylan's. read more

We looked Dylan's up on Yelp before heading there, after our dolphin watching excursion. They had great reviews, we wanted pizza, so that's where we headed. Since we arrived at 8:36p and had seen that they close at 9, we thought we'd help THEM out and not still be there and be a burden past 9, when they close. So we ordered our food to-go. The order was placed and paid for, I would say no later than 8:40. We went outside to wait, I got nervous when it was close to 9 and still no "phone call", that order was ready, so I went back inside to follow up. They hadn't even gotten to my order yet. I was told it would be fine to wait outside and I'd get a "phone call." We waited another 15 minutes and my grandsons came back in to wait with me. THEY got tired of waiting after another 5 minutes, and left. Keep in mind, as I'm waiting at a table, probable every single server walked by me, for 21 minutes and no one said a word, asked me how I was, had I been helped, nada, zilch. At 9:30, I stopped a server and told her I had been waiting almost an hour for my pizzas and salad. She walked away and came back 2.5 seconds later, with not hot and fresh pizzas, who knows how long they were sitting under the hot lamp. Not thinking I needed to check my order, based on raving reviews, upon leaving. I got to my car and opened the first pizza, so my grandsons could eat, they were starving, thankfully it was perfect. It was 9:30! We open the second box, my pizza and it was completely burnt and had about 85% burnt patches all around, everywhere you looked. I shlep the charcoal colored pepp/mushroom/extra cheese pizza across a parking lot, back to the restaurant, hoping they haven't locked the doors yet. When I walked back in, THEN EVERYONE was paying attention and attentive to me! I open the box and say, I waited almost an hour for this and it's burnt. No one said a word and then this wonderful lady with short black hair, dressed in all black and tennis shoes, quickly came over, took the burnt pizza and immediately started re-making it. At this point it's 9:40. When I looked at my watch and saw it was 9:40 and everyone was still running around, I thought, damn here we are trying to be considerate of THEIR time, by not staying to eat in at 8:36, and here I am am hour later, waiting for my pizza to be remade. As I'm fuming I ask the person behind the bar, if she's the manager, she's states "no" and then nothing else. The kind server, who had handed me my order minutes earlier, stopped and asked if I was ok. I said I'd like to speak to a manager, she said I'll get you one right now. This older lady came out to the bar, her mostly white hair was tied up,I guess so it's out of her face? I ask her, if she is the manager, she faintly states, "I'm one". I tell her I waited almost an hour to get a burnt pizza. She states, our pizzas look like that because they're cooked in a coal oven. Uh, no they don't and what a crappy "manager" you are! Didn't you learn in managerial training, the customer is always right?! Which is why I don't think she actually is "one of the managers". Not to mention, not ONE pizza looks burnt on YELP reviews. And there are a lot of pizza pictures on their page. Not ONE looked anywhere near to what we were served, not ONE. Like the one my grandsons had, was perfect and not an ounce of burnt to a crisp areas. Then she proceeds to tell me, well we're making you another one right now. No, I'm sorry, I apologize, zero, zilch! I'm pissed I tipped! I want my tip back. And you know WHO DID apologize?! The tipsy guy having a bottle of wine, sitting next to me at the bar! A customer apologized to me! Our first meal out on our vacation with our grandsons and what an awful experience. My 5 & 8 yr old grandsons said I should give Dylan's a zero rating, but I told them I can't, literally, and that they ate all of their pizza, so it must have been good at the very least. No more visits, while on vacation, to Dylan's. I'll be going to a customer oriented restaurant for our meals... read more

This place was so good. It was a bit on the pricey side. We ordered pepperoni pizza and (I think it was called) the Bianca pizza? It was a white pizza. I'd go again just for that one. We walked out spending about $75 for me, my hub, and 3 toddlers. read more

Yes! Def recommend this place! We came across this place by accident one year as we were vacationing in Corpus. The pizza is so yummy that each time we make it to Corpus, we make it a point to stop at Dylan's. Food- We ordered the Tradizonale and the Caprino pizza's. One pizza is enough to feed two people but we wanted to try two different pizzas and have enough for left overs. The pizza is freshly made, it's hot, full of flavor, and love the coal fire taste. The Tradizonale pizza has pepperoni, red bell pepper, red onion, and spicy sausage. The Caprino came with sausage, feta cheese, red onion, fresh basil. Both pizzas were very good but our favorita was the Caprino, the feta provided a nice flavor to the overall pizza. Each pizza was about $20 dollars. Drinks- Ordered a French 75 and a house margarita. My mom mentioned the margarita was a little strong. The French 75 was delicious (I ordered a second). Establishment/Service/Ambiance: The establishment is located within the Cinnamon Shores property (so cute). There is indoor and outdoor seating available. We sat inside. The table, plates, and some of the silverware were not as clean as they should be but the staff quickly fixed the issues when we brought it up. Our server was very attentive and provided great service. read more

Wings were delicious so was the Bianca pizza! The service was very slow along with food delivery, server just never came back to check on us after food was delivered so we had to asking other people for things we needed, server Grace was nice but just seemed not very attentive to our needs. It was busy but there and maybe not enough servers. Caesar salad had little salad dressing and just seemed plain, the pizza was delicious along with the wings. Hopefully when you go there are more servers but again great food. read more

Started off with a lime coconut cocktail and some lemon pepper chicken wings both on point. We shared a Cesar salad and had the pizza Bianca which was outstanding thin crispy crust and creamy ricotta cheese and chicken topped with basil and oregano. Nice laid back vibes friendly staff would highly recommend. We had an early dinner and by the time we were done several large parties came in probably a good idea to pop in early read more

Super busy place. We ordered two pizzas during vacation and a salad. The food was good. Gluten free pizza was a plus! Only thing is we tried to order take out one day and we were turned away for take out an hour before closing because they said they were to backed up and not accepting takeout orders. Other than that except good pizza but definitely a wait. read more

Probably the best pizza I've ever had. Don't make the same mistake I did and try any other pizza joint on the island - this place is the best! Plenty of super friendly wait staff to take care of you. Pizza was ready faster than most places due to the coal-fired oven. Highly recommend this place. It is on our to-do list every time we visit Port A. read more

Food/drinks were decent but very overpriced. They also charge a "resort fee" plus higher tax rate.

We love this place. We always eat here (or at pick it up) when we come to the island. The food is top notch, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great. We will be back again for sure. read more

My family and I ordered pizza to-go, with the intention of going back to our rental house to eat our dinner. However, while waiting for our pizza, we decided it was such a beautiful evening, let's just stay here and eat outside. When our pizza was ready, we picked it up and sat at the outside table area to the side of Dylan's. The pizza was good and we were having such a fun time, when about halfway through our meal a female staff member abruptly walked to our table and told us that to-go orders are not allowed to sit there. She said those tables were only for people who ordered their food to eat at Dylan's and we needed to leave, in case a dine-in customer wanted to sit there. This woman was incredibly rude and the whole experience was quite shocking. We had literally just spent close to $150 on pizza for the restaurant we were eating at and were told we weren't allowed to eat there! There were no signs posted that said, "table for dine-in only", nobody mentioned anything to us while we were sitting there waiting or when we first began our meal. Since, like I said, we were still eating our dinner, we asked where were we allowed to sit and she pointed to tables on the street in front of the restaurant. So, we gathered everything and everyone and moved several feet from the side of Dylan's to the front of Dylan's. Completely pointless, completely rude, and I'd like to add that not ONE person came and sat at any of the outside tables on the side while we were there! What a way to treat your paying customers! The whole experience that started out fun was upsetting and embarrassing and frankly ruined our evening! This was our second time eating at Dylans and although we loved the pizza, we won't be back! read more

Cute little spot on the north side of Cinnamon Shore! We took the golf cart over from the south side for lunch and it was totally worth it.

Waited about 30 minutes for my order, I was told the kitchen is backed up. When I got the pizza back to the condo it was cold. I called to see if I could get this resolved and was told they would get back with me. No one ever called. Sadly pizza was cold so it didn't taste well. read more

That was a really good pizza. The folkd were super nice. Interior is great also, though I took mine to go.

We came here 4 years ago, and when we went- Dylan's was so memorable because of the food and nice waiters! We came back to Port A and we knew that we HAD to go! Our server was so sweet and the food was soooo good! The outdoor seating was nice, especially as the sun sets. It does get crowded and wait times are a century, but trust me- it's all worth it.

Delicious pizza, love the crust and great service! Sat outside and the breeze was wonderful at the end of September.

Awesome pizza spot! If you're craving pizza, stop by this spot. They have a cozy, dog friendly patio area and a beautiful, bright and cheerful inside dining area. You get a whole New England vibe from this entire area. We decided to follow some other reviewers advice about trying the Caeser salad with added pesto chicken. Delicious! Definitely a great salad, prefected with perfectly seasoned pesto chicken. The meatballs appetizer was also perfect. A bright, delicious marinara with 3 perfect, light and tasty meatballs. Even our picky non meat eating 8yr old loved these! The star of the show was the white pie though to which we added pepperoni. It was perfectly crispy and just exploded with flavor. Creamy ricotta with pieces of confit garlic and fresh basil finished off with crispy, spicy pepperoni. Just perfection. We loved all the food from this place. Very fresh ingredients. Nice atmosphere and very friendly and cheerful employees. We will be back, even if next time it's the busy season and we have a long wait. It will be worth it! read more

I ordered a pepperoni pizza. Overall the taste of the pizza was legit with delicious crust. The amount of pepperoni was pretty scarce (maybe 1 or 2 per slice) which was kind of annoying since you pay extra per topping. We took the pizza to go and tried to dine outside but the mosquitos got the best of us and it started to rain as well. I didn't even have a chance to snap a photo of the pizza. I can't comment too much on the ambiance because we didn't dine in. Overall, it was a delicious pizza but fairly pricey. The town center is really cute and reminds me of Seaside, FL. But the mosquitos are brutal. Keep that in mind if you're planning outdoor dining or activities. read more
