Yes, management can come across as brusque but hey, they are not from Texas! They are from New York!! If you can get past this, prepare to enjoy some of the finest pizza in San Antonio. We eat here almost every time someone in my sisters in-law family has an event of some sort. She's married to a Guglielmo, also from New York, so we are generally treated pretty well when we go with them. Like tonight. My niece's eleventh birthday and they let us have the room in the back. All went very well. As usual, great pizza. Try the meatball pizza. Just terrific. read more

The owners/staff are wonderful, and it's one of the few places you can get pizza by the slice in San Antonio, so Florio's deserves several stars just for those two reasons alone. Also, the restaurant screams authentic NY/NJ pizza parlor-- this is either a plus or a minus depending upon how you feel about minimal decor and vinyl topped stools, but it makes me feel at home. As a Yankee born and raised, however, I just can't get behind their pizza. It doesn't compare to what I grew up eating, or to what I can cook up in my own kitchen. What I can get behind, however, is their Italian sub. I LOVE Italian subs, and they make a good one... almost impossible to find this far south. read more

I often forget how much I love florio's until I'm on that side of town to meet someone for lunch and then its like being hit with a lightning bolt, because I LOVE Florios! The service is great and the pizza is out of this world. In a land where papa john's frequently makes the reader's choice for best pizza in the city, florio's is a welcome change in pace. It's old school family-owned and operated atmosphere makes it an anomaly in San Antonio, but it could be one of 1,000 pizza shops in New York. And that dear friends is what makes it so awesome. For me its the taste of home after countless cardboard pizza places. Lunch can be had for under $5, but don't try to order the pizza to watch Sunday Football, because they're also home watching sunday football and the shop isn't open :). Great people, great food, just go. read more

This pizza was delicious!! I recommend the Meatball Pizza with pepperoni!!! Soooo good

This place is like a classic pizza joint, tucked into Alamo Heights (just north of Broadway & Basse). The walls have tons of NYC memorabilia & the pizza tastes like something you'd get from a small place near Times Square. Thin crust pizza with a chewy crust, the slices are huge as are the pizza pies. We even tried a fish sandwich, served on crusty bread and very tasty. We liked the casual atmosphere & will definitely be back to try more pizza options read more

I read many reviews about Florio's Pizza. This week I finally made my way over to try them for myself. I love this place!!! For one, I arrived shortly before they opened and there was already a line of about a dozen customers. Wow, that really impresses me to no end! When the doors opened, my nose caught the aroma I thought was gone forever. My family had been faithful regular customers of a place no longer around named Paletta's Imported Goods for decades. There was always a terrific smell of spices and such that I never forgot when I would enter Paletta's. Well, Florio's has it too! I was beyond happy. I ordered their lunch special (2 slices of pizza and a drink). I requested a couple of add on's (pepperoni on one and meatball slices on the other one). My taste buds were happy as was my wallet. The lunch prices are great and even with my add on's, my bill was still somewhere around $6.00. There was a line of customers out the door when I left. People know a good thing when they find it. This place is the real deal. I felt welcome and I'll definitely be back. read more

This was our first time tryings this place. Unfortunately, I cannot give it more than 2*. Even pizza hut makes better pizza. All the vegetables on their special were canned. Not acceptable in my book. read more

I'm from NYC - my favorite pizza places still used coal ovens - which no longer are legal unless 'grandfathered.' Florio's with respect to SA is just about as good as it gets. I started going there in 1997 - but don't go much due to where we live. But, I noticed - since 410 is totally complete - the trip is a breeze! If you want a nice - thin - crispy crust - with no weird "after taste" - and a light layer of cheese and good tomato flavor - this is your destination! If you don't like flat fountain drinks - a staple in SA - they do sell bottled drinks also. I'm eating a cold slice as I type - very good! Pizza is a 5 - my rating of 4 is based on a rather lackluster meatball sub. We also ordered a meatball sub - not that good - the meatball doesn't have much flavor - to be honest. Will try the sausage/pepper sub next time. For those who think the service is rude? Being from NYC - it's nearly impossible to insult me - but those from the southland? I can understand - since my wife is from KY - and she doesn't care for them. My visit last nite was very cordial - so - perhaps - they're reading your mail? Last - and most importantly - the prices are more than fair!!!!! A medium pie is 16" with no extra toppings and under 12 bucks!!! Give it a try - just head south (inside the loop) from 410 - turn right on Nottingham - it's in the back of the strip center on Broadway. read more

In a city that doesn't know jack diddly squat about pizza,this is the BEST pizza in San Antonio by way of New York/New Jersey. Not Alamo, Goomba's, Big Lou's, Central Park, Cerroni's, Main St., Grimaldi's or 46th St. Pizza can touch Florio's. I regret not coming here more often. The lady at the register seems intimidating but is a sweetheart deep down inside. Pizza is the way it's supposed to be, piping hot with a thin and crispy crust. read more

Reasonable priced, delicious pizza. I loved that sliced meatball is a topping! I came here on a Saturday night with my family and had no trouble getting a table. I'm not going to say that this is the best pizza in town but its quite tasty. We ordered a small pepperoni and mushroom pizza and a large pizza with pepperoni, sliced meatball, and sausage. I loved them both. The crust is good but I think Big Lou's makes a better crust. I like the cheese and sauce. My only criticism is that the pizza was a bit too greasy. The restaurant is decorated in New York sports memorbilia and had a big tv in the corner of the room so you can watch your game. The sandwiches looked good so I'll be paying Florio's another visit soon. read more

The New York Style Pizza, or as I call it "pizza", from Florio's certainly hits the spot. The best choice from this locale is the cheese pie. The owners are from Palisades, New Jersey and have a bit of the 'tude that is reminiscent of home for me, and the pizza to keep me coming back. The slices are cheesy, gooey, and just the right amount of greasy. There is a good-enough amount of seating (even though walking in, it doesn't look like there's any!) For a moment eating at Florio's aptly located on Broadway, I swear I forgot I was in Texas, and thought I was back home in New York City, and for that, I thank them. Nostalgia sucks, but rules. read more

Put myself through college making pizzas . Pizza is ok but nothing to rave about. Place has the ambiance of a funeral home. The owner barely mumbles & it feels like you're bothering him . Nothing there that I would recommend or go back for !! read more

The cold cut Italian sub is really good. I suggest eating it there though, after it sits, it's still great, but looses something once the bread cools off. The bread is served warm with contrasting cold cuts. Do not skimp on no this or that. Get it just how it comes. You will not be disappointed. The pizza is really good and they fly their sausage in from New York. That's the primo topping for us -- otherwise, just the basic. The crust has a nice flavor and the family gives you a warm good, homey feel.. read more

Meh! I heard this pizza was delicious. I was repulsed at the canned mushrooms that covered my pizza. The pizza was sub par. The lady next to me was freaking out that there was no high chairs, noted. read more

The pizza was very good every time I have eaten it with fresh ingredients. The crust and sauce are delicious. This is a go-to pizza restaurant when in the area. read more

Quaint and cute pizza shop in Lincoln Heights. Family owned and operated which I love. I came for the lunch special which I heard was a deal and it was! For $5.00 plus tax I chose 2 slices of pizza and a fountain beverage. I chose a Dr. Pepper and a slice of pepperoni and a slice of Meatball pizza. Served to me at the table which had parm and pepper flake jars already on the table. The crust was thin and crispy like NY pizza but lacked flavor. Still good though because the rest of the pizza was great and tasty. Plenty of seating and friendly staff. read more

Florio's Pizza - My two slices for lunch - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Their Italian sausage pizza is exactly what a good New York slice should be. The cheese is stringy and flavorful- I crave this pizza all the time! Once I went in for the lunch special and was served reheated slices, and it was disappointing. Now I always order the full pie to make sure it's fresh. read more

Best pizza in town. The only thing missing for the perfect pie is pineapple! Would be nice if they delivered further out. Overall, one of my favorite places to grab a call in order on the way home after a late work night. read more

My friends like the NYC style pizza by the slice. They always put a lot of pepperoni on, definately not skimmpy. I don't have pizza there's something else that always draws my attention! The Italian Cold Cut Sub is the best in town. Great Bread, always fresh tasting. No Mayo and they gladly hold the tomatoes Bonus points for IBC Root Beer and they look like they have a nice fat chocolate cake for dessert but I never have room! They have limited hours, are closed mondays and the host's abrupt manner might be a little off-putting for Texans at times but somehow it makes grabbing a slice on a steamy Alamo City afternoon almost seem like Brooklyn... maybe read more

Half pepperoni half sausage was good! The crust was okay. Staff super friendly! The location is good. Even though I love mushrooms I stayed away from them based on other reviews. I would come back. read more

Location: A nice, upscale area Food: A regular 12" pizza with a coke Interior Design: Very Jersey feel to it. Owners are from Jersey so they have pics and memorabilia relating to NJ/NY. GO GIANTS! Pros: Pizza was good, almost like from Jersey. Cons: The one lady wasn't the friendliest but the wait wasn't long. read more

As I see it, pizza will always be an american favorite for all ages. I had the opportunity to experience great tasting pizza with good company. Florio's has been part of Lincoln Heights for at least 15 years. It is a family-owned and managed restaurant and I had the honor of meeting Mr. Steve Florio who shared a little part of his day with us. I am 100% a NY pizza fan, sorry Chicago! The pizza has East coast flavor, right down to the walls full of NY and NJ pennants, jerseys, flags, and photos of sports greats. Baked in a brick oven, the pizza crust turns out crisp, light, and slightly sweet yet still soft enough as a good pizza should be. We enjoyed the roasted vegetable pizza and the cheese pizza. Both were delicious and the toppings did not weigh down the pizza slice at all! The cheese pizza is definitely off the hook, simple and basic but truly sets the standard of great pizza. Cold subs are also offered here. I will certainly try their eggplant sub on a return visit. I was pleasantly surprised to find seating indoors and outdoors which lends to a great place for a sweet date for private conversation or even a great family evening out. Price for a slice of pizza starts at two bucks and a handful of change. Or you can get a combo - two slices of pizza and pop for just over 4 dollars. A great treat for those on a budget! read more

Really good pizza, nice atmosphere for a date or a dinner with the family. The sub sandwich tastes awesome.

The pizza is ok, I've had better. The one amazing thing on their menu though is the cold Italian hero sandwich. It is warm bread with an array of Italian cold cuts, fresh veggies, and a vinegrette dressing on the lettuce. I would give this sandwich 6 stars. The employees are fairly nice. Sometimes they're "sassy" with you. read more

Amazing pizza! I've been eating at this pizza place even before I moved here to SATX. My uncle would take me here and since the first time I had it, I was hooked. Original New York style pizza with quality ingredients! Highly recommended! read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. Growing up in NYC, finding this place made me feel like I found a little piece of home in the middle of San Antonio. The calzones are delicious and I think the pizza is even better. Plan ahead because they aren't open 24/7. The staff are freaking amazing and I love the sports memorabilia that's hanging up around the place. If you are in SA and want a slice of NY pizza.. This is a must! read more

Very New York! No nonsense attitude and pizza that will keep you coming back for more. Walked in and honestly thought what a small little dive. Then discovered the 3 huge rooms full of happy patrons! You enter off Broadway and there is a big parking lot. Décor is very New York/New Jersey plus some nice 9-11 mementos. read more

I'm originally from New York so it was nice to find a place that reminded me of home, with all the New York memorabilia inside. The staff was so nice and made conversation with everyone which is always refreshing instead of just taking orders and going about their business. The pizza was really good, 9.5/10, I think I'm just really bias to going down the block and getting a slice in NYC. The atmosphere was amazing so I highly recommend getting a lunch combo and sitting up at the counter to enjoy it. If you're a fellow New Yorker as well, you will be happily surprised. read more

My wife and I try to get over as much as we can to the Broadway location to have a large pie. As a former New Yorker, Florio's is the closest to NY pizza as I've tasted in ten years living in San Antonio. Unfortunately, the Florio's on Bandera Rd/Loop 1604 is not quite as good. So, we drive the extra distance to Broadway. If you like NY pizza and miss it, try this, it's very good. read more

Always the best pizza is SA! Closest thing to NYC! Love their meatball pizza, meatball sub, and antipasto salad. So glad I moved just down the street lol! Ive been coming here for atleast 6 years now. read more

When you're craving a slice of New York, minus the annoyingly high rent, check out Florio's. What most people don't know is the subs, particularly the cold Italian and eggplant parmesean, are worth straying from the pizza. If you come by for lunch, I recommend ordering just one slice, not two, as comes in the lunch special. You don't get any real price break for ordering the lunch special, just... twice the calories. My favorite slice in S.A. but I'm still on the hunt! read more

After all these years, I don't mind sitting firm on my 3 stars after my recent visit to Florios. I've decided that I'm a thick crust Chicago pizza with fresh crunchie vegitables and lots of sauce kinda girl. I don't want to hate on NYC since I've never been there, but I'd hope their pizza isnt soggy and void of sauce (ahem Florio's pizza). Its just not my slice of pizza even if it does take up my entire plate. The employees are great; patient with customers and accomadating as can be. There's plenty of seating. I love the front room and swivel chairs, which makes waiting pretty exciting during dinner rush. The resturant has an expanded back room I'm sure you could reserve for big parties. I even enjoyed the sports memoribilia decorating the place. Aside from the chewy veggies and soggy pie, I don't like to dine in restaurants with dust caked on everything. It creeps me out. The beer bottles in the front room looked faded and caked with dust from years of isolation. Kudos to the childrens changing table in the womens rest room, but it was covered in dust too! Some of the chairs looked new while others looked like they had pizza sauce thrown on it. For being in Alamo Heights I'd imagine they'd have decent cutlery too. You'll be eating your salad in styrofoam bowls and your pizza on paper plates but luckily you won't break your plastic fork or knife on the soggy dough. Try Florio's if you must. As you will read, you'll either love it, hate it or just not be a fan. read more

I've been going to this place for 15 years and it's still my favorite pizza joint in town, where pizza is very competitive. This place is ran by a family from New Jersey/New York and you automatically get that feeling when you walk in, New York memorabilia everywhere. You'll be taken in my the smell alone. I've tried most of their pizzas and their all meat is the best in town (Pepperoni, Meatball, and Sausage). It's a nice, juicy, new york styled pizza, you just can't go wrong with it. On each of their tables they have garlic salt, which I honestly can't thank them enough for it, it makes an already outstanding pizza even better. If you want the best this city has to offer, this is the place. read more

Took my wife and grand daughter for lunch before we hit the zoo. Great pizza with $5.00 lunch special hard to pass up. Pepperoni and mushroom pizza slice great, sausage slice covered with sausage excellent taste and that perfect crunch from the crust. Service was fast during lunch rush and the staff very nice and we felt welcomed. Even thou we didn't know the routine on how to order you could tell we were not locals to this pizza spot in Alamo Heights. We will be back. read more

MMMMM... pizzaaaaaa... If you're looking for New York-style pizza, served up with a good side of east coast attitude, you've found it at Florio's. Delicious thin crust pies topped with tasty tomato sauce, cheese and toppings of your liking. I'm a cheese pizza kinda girl, so that's really most of what I have tried here, but the ooey gooey slices covered with melty cheese leave me wanting nothing more. And don't mistake the east coast attitude for bad service. They're super friendly, site and tell jokes, and get your pizza to you piping hot in record time. It's a perfect place to pick up and take home but you can always try for a seat in their small cafe! read more

This is one of my favorite pizza places in San Antonio. Nothing beats the thin crust classic pepperoni pizza. I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's always consistently good. If you ever stop by, you HAVE to get the cold Italian hero all the way, this sand which is the best Italian sub ever. read more

I'm a born in NYC Texas with NJ relatives and going to Florios is the closest thing to real pizza you'll find anywhere near San Antonio. Try the sausage and meatball for toppings and whatever you do, don't miss the Italian sub. It is the very best sub I've had anywhere. Hot or cold, it is great. The atmosphere is friendly especially if you give a bit of attitude back to the people who take your order. They are good hearted and wonderful so don't take the attitude as anything but fun. They are they to move the crowd through and feed them as fast as possible. Lunch is especially busy are weekends. Check out the freezer in the corner for the special cake of the day and try it. I've never had a bad one. The pizza is great re-heated in the oven so don't forget to take some home. read more

An authentic experience. It was as if we walked into a real New York pizzeria. Great food, great place, and great people. read more

Florio's Pizza - Great Italian hero. - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

See all

This is my 2nd time coming here and the pizza was delish. We ordered half cheese half sausage. The sausage comes out in a long thin slice, quite unique, I had never seen it that way. The crust is thin and has a nice crisp that prevents it from getting soggy with the toppings. It has a good cheese to sauce ratio. They have a small dining area which they keep clean and busboys clear it out as soon as customers leave, for the next patron. I would recommend this place. read more

I have a strong inate bias against any pizza not originating in a deep dish and with the cheese on the bottom. So, the question begs: Could I like pizza in the style of the pretender, New York? The answer was a definate yes. Came here for lunch as its in the neighborhood. The crust was thin, but not disgustingly greasy as they were generous with the cheese and toppings (I had peppers and onions and olives). The slices were definately supersized as well. The service was very friendly as this had the feel of a family run joint. The prejudice for Chicago style puts it at a solid 4 stars. However, the quality product guarantees I'll be back. read more
