Pizza Vesuvio is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome--so friendly, warm, and genuinely happy to have us there. There is a bit of a wait for the food, but it's very clear why: everything is made fresh to order, and it is so worth it. We ordered the Colesseo pizza, focaccia bread, and the Green Poblano Chicken Lasagna, and every single bite was seriously delicious. We honestly did not have one negative thing to say about any of it. The focaccia deserves special recognition--it was hands down the most fresh and delicious focaccia I've ever had in my life. Light, flavorful, and absolutely perfect. If you're anywhere in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Pizza Vesuvio. It is beyond worth your time, and your taste buds will absolutely thank you. read more

The food here is tasty. The rigatoni picatta was shared as an appetizer, don't expect huge portions here. The pizza was fantastic. It did take a little while, around 30 mins but I think there is only 1 oven. We'll worth the wait. They have indoor and outside seating, we sat outside. Top 3 pizza places in SATX!! read more

Pizzeria Vesuvio - Pepperoni, extra pepperoni, sausage, easy sauce, a bit well done - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Gave this spot a try while visiting San Antonio and although I appreciated the interior and how homey it felt, the food was a miss. The Bianco Pizza was good, the crust was fluffy and the bottom was crisp but I didn't taste much of the ricotta. I also had to wait about 40 minutes for it. I was really dissatisfied with the pasta. The Rigatoni was undercooked, it was slightly hard and not in the al dente way. The tomato sauce lacked depth and the meatballs were slightly dry. I also did not like that I had to pay for water, I don't think any restaurant should do that. Overall, 5/10. read more

Ordered delivery through uber eats. I got into my hotel pretty late so most places were closed, but Pizza Vesuvio was open and looked delicious. I ordered a pepperoni, Canadian bacon, and jalapeño pizza. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was just as good in person as the pictures make it look. Delicious pizza and well worth the few extra dollars it took to get it delivered. read more

Best Estromboli that I've ever had. It took a while to make, but it came out piping hot and fresh, and it was a huge piece stuffed full of various meats, cheeses, and marinara sauce. Exactly what I needed after looking for a place to eat that hadn't closed or shut down their food service for the evening. The staff also didn't charge me for my second bottled water, so that was nice of them. read more

WORTH THE WAIT! If you can't wait a little longer than you're used to for your food... this is not the place for you. That being said, everything here is made with fresh ingredients and all oven made. No microwave here. We had the pizza Quattro Stagioni and it was amazing. Crust perfectly thin and crispy and great flavors on all 4 types of pizza. We also had the Tiramisu, which was amazing. Light in texture, not too sweet and a great end to a perfect meal. The star of our dinner was the Stromboli. Perfectly crisp crust and all the ingredients were fresh and incredibly flavorful. Well balanced, and the best Stromboli we've ever had. Comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Wait staff is more than attentive. The owner cares about his customers, quality of food, and your overall dining experience. This is a family owned restaurant who uses recipes from their family and it shows. read more

I'm really surprised to get the horrible customer service that I received today. The manager or owner who is usually normally nice and a good person to talk to was a demon today. I was waiting for 30 minutes after I was told it only be about 15 minutes and when he finally brought my food, I was like man you guys are taking a long time. You told me 15 minutes and it's been 30. Right away said we're busy. I said I've been waiting a while then he was like you want me to refund your money after already paid. I said no. Just give me my food. After me already paying and wasting my time he was trying to keep my food I already paid for. He was extremely rude and use profanity. I mean, he just escalated this out of nowhere. Again in the past, he's been super nice to be my girlfriend and I'm not sure if he didn't remember me or what but maybe he was just in a bad mood or I caught him on a bad day but needless to say I will never come back to his establishment again. to use profanity towards a paying client when I just simply asked why were you guys so late is unacceptable. He blew up and lost it. Maybe he is on his period bleeding marinara sauce. Not sure but that was uncalled for. Horrible customer service 1 star. Will never return even though we like his food. Disappointed in his rude behavior. I read reviews that stated the same thing of him being rude to clients. read more

Found me a new pizza place. We were at first Friday and doing some shopping around the block. I have been wanting to try this place and my friend was leaving so we decided to give it a try. Staff was friendly. We sat at the front so we can people watch. We ordered two pizzas: the capri and bianco. We ordered some drinks while we waited for our food. My friend ordered a blue moon in a fancy glass (lol), my husband ordered a michelob ultra on draft, and I ordered a sweet white wine (moscato). The outside seating was very nice. The weather was on the cooler side but not anything too unbearable. The heater where we sat was not working but overall it was still nice. They also had indoor seating and seating in the back. No matter where you sit it's nice. Our pizza did take time to come out. However, you could tell that it was all freshly made. I have to say that the pizza is the star of this show. I enjoyed every single bite when we did get our food. Not one complaint from our table. We left extremely satisfied. Definitely would recommend this place for a nice date night, family night, celebration, whatever! The restaurant is nice and staff is very attentive. The prices are a little high but worth every penny. I would come back and now I know my new first Friday stop for a bite. read more

I wouldn't pay more than $13 for this pizza. Sad I paid over $34 for 1 pizza. I don't know if they're trying to be fine dining, but getting pure life bottled water and can soda makes no sense . Pasta is average and the wait time was over 30 minutes for average food. For better food and service go to stout house instead. This place is terrible! read more

Came here late night and there was a good amount of other customers. The boss was very friendly and checked up on us every now and then. Water is not free. It's $1.50 each bottle, even for the ones originally placed on the table. There might have been only 1 chef working since it took about 45 minutes for our order to come out which may be understandable since it was a complicated one. The pizza was pretty good. It held all the ingredients and none fell off when I picked up a slice. The bianco was my favorite: very creamy. read more

I just had a WOW experience with Pizza Vesuvio that truly turned a rough situation into something extraordinary! After receiving my order an HOUR after the ETA of 30 minutes, I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible customer service I received from TONY (part owner). Not only did he address my cold pizza promptly, but he also took it to the next level by hand-delivering a fresh, delicious pizza to my door with a smile. It's rare to find a business that will go above and beyond like this, and it made all the difference! The WARM pizza itself was fantastic--perfectly baked with a mouthwatering blend of toppings that made every bite a joy. I'm officially a loyal customer! Thank you TONY for your outstanding service and yummy pizza. Highly recommended! read more

Great place great food the pizza was AMAZING!!! The kale salad was FIRE !!!! The service was great fave friendly!!!

TL;DR: As a returning customer, military veteran, and paying patron, I was profiled and interrogated by the owner after picking up two pizzas and returning to use the restroom. The experience felt racially motivated and left me feeling disrespected and unwelcome. I will not return. Full Review: I'm writing this review with disappointment and sadness, as Pizza Visuvio was once a place I truly enjoyed. As a Black male and military veteran, I never expected to feel so disrespected and unwelcome at a local restaurant I once supported. I placed an order for two pizzas for pickup. After picking up my order and returning to my truck, I walked back inside to use the restroom before heading home. I was approached by a man who asked if I had been helped. I responded, "Yes." He then asked what I had ordered. I repeated that I had already been helped, confused by the repeated questioning. To my surprise, he continued to press me, asking again what I had ordered. Shocked and feeling targeted, I asked to speak to a manager. He informed me that he was the owner. At that moment, I felt like I was being profiled--as if I didn't belong there. Despite being a paying customer who had just walked out with two pizzas, I was treated with suspicion and interrogated without reason. The experience made me feel as though I was being judged not by my actions, but by my appearance. I noticed they were also asking a homeless individual to leave, and perhaps the owner mistook me for someone who hadn't purchased anything. But here's the issue: the very employees the owner turned to and asked if he had done anything wrong were the same ones who had just helped me and watched me leave with my order in hand. This place once held sentimental value for my family--my wife enjoyed Pizza Visuvio as one of her first meals after giving birth to our youngest. But after this experience, I cannot see myself ever returning. To the owner: Treating customers with respect should be the bare minimum. Profiling someone based on how they look, regardless of intent, leaves lasting harm. I hope you reflect on how your actions affected me and ensure no other customer walks away feeling the way I did. -Jessie read more

I've been a yelper for so long and never have I written a review. This place deserves my first review. The ambience and hospitality was 11/10. Esteban was the nicest with us. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Pretty twinkled lights in the patio, perfect weather, amazing pizza, linguine chicken Alfredo and lasagna were melting amazingly good. We ordered the sweet red wine. I'm definitely coming back here. It was the perfect date night especially since it's my birthday and it definitely made me feel special. read more

Came on a Saturday night and we're seated right away. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and had a portable fan to ourselves. Parking is a bit tricky. They do have a pay to park lot next door but we were able to find street parking around the corner. Ordered a half Vesuvio and half caruso. Yum! Pizza is thin and crispy and so flavorful! We also ordered cheese sticks but will skip those next time. They weren't as good as the pizza. Can't wait to try more flavors on our next visit. read more

such a cute and cozy place. It was our first time visiting and were seated right away. The pizza is absolutely delicious, they use fresh dough, and are made fresh to order. The owner and staff were extremely kind, attentive, and conversational. It was a nice place to go eat some fresh, thin crust pizza with a nice decor and intimate feel. We enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be a go-to for when we want good pizza in Southtown/King William! read more

It was a beautiful, breezy night and we were seeking Italian food open past 10pm. A quick yelp search sent us here and we are so grateful to have found this spot. The patio was super cozy and cute. There were a lot of couples on dates so romance was in the air with the twinkly lights and moon above. Their kitchen is outside in a food truck so the aroma wafts through the air and lures you into your seat like a cartoon wolf hungry for pie. We started with a Caprese Salad that my friend and I shared. It was a large portion for the price! The pizza was top tier. I can't say enough about how good it was. We got The Bianco- alfredo sauce, slightly spicy seasoned ricotta baked into it, basil, other delicious cheeses-- what a treat! We learned that they have a 2 slice & drink combo for only $9! The owner informed us it could be any pizza off the menu except the king William, and a glass of wine, a beer, a soda, anything! Only thing I would change is the hours. I'm sad I can't go get some pizza at lunchtime, they are only available 6-midnight, so exclusive! I'll be back so soon. read more

The flavor of the pizza was great but I have never seen a pizza with a translucent crust. I don't mind thin crust but when you can see the sauce and cheese through the bottom that's a problem. Delivery was on time and communication was done for our order. Just wish if we buy a pizza we get more product. read more

I consulted with staff getting my pizza, when I should have stuck to the reviewer's favorites. I selected the variety pizza with slices of capri, bianco, Caruso, and Vesuvio pizza. There was a screaming child on the patio whose parents were enjoying and encouraging the caterwauling. I So I took my pizza home but in the 13 minutes to get to my place the pie was lukewarm. Next time I'll plug in my headphones and get through it. Two of the pizza types were outstanding, great toppings and flavor. The Capri and Bianco were skimpy on toppings and didn't compare well to the other varieties, but because of the freshness issue they might be much better there at the restaurant read more

This place blends in well with its surroundings, but when you dine here you are in for an experience. You eat outdoors and they keep the flies away with their own system that you barely notice. The place is decorated with gorgeous lighting, and perfect to eat at if you want a romantic dinner or a nice night with the family. The staff are friendly and bilingual so huge thumbs up for us! My husband and I ordered the Bianca pizza with mushrooms and a side of chicken linguine Alfredo to celebrate our anniversary together. Each dish was perfect to eat with all the rich flavors, balanced oils, and fresh ingredients! The pizza crust was perfect crispy and seasoned with aromatic spices that makes you want to have that extra bite. The service was phenomenal and you don't have to wait that long to eat. You enjoy a nice view with amazing company and food! This is our new date night spot and looking forward to coming back again! Especially since they offer art classes you can do by yourself or with friends! read more

Ordered tonight in the Yahoo app with service by GrubHub. I paid for a "side of extra sauce" but I didn't get it. Not sure who to blame but not cool. Anyway, about the food, so I got the Vesuvio. It was good, would totally order again and probably will. The crust is not very yeasty, i.e. not much character, a neutral taste but the ingredients are more tasty as a result. I live 8 mins away, that is how lazy I am that I pay for delivery. But also with Covid just not worth dining in. I will be glad when life returns to normal and I can enjoy the pizza on site and get it while it is hot. read more

My go to pizza place! I've been coming here for pizza since I moved to San Antonio. Limited parking so I love to call in my order and take this home. There is only outdoor seating so it's definitely a chill place to eat at. I don't have a picture of the classic pepperoni pizza but that's just cuz my phone doesn't eat first when I order Vesuvios. My go to order is a large pizza with an order of buffalo wings! The wings are also amazing! Service is great! read more
