Maria’s Pizza

Yay! Our favorite pizza and family is open again. We have missed you guys sooooo much. Looking forward to the best pizza… always fresh and with a smile.

Wanted to try this close-​by pizza place. I love to eat at and support locally owned businesses! Called Aug. 1, Saturday @1 to see if we could get a table for 12 in about 45 mins. Said we were celebrating my 7 year olds birthday and wanted to order several pizzas. The owner (I’m assuming) who had an accent answered. He said, «What do you want for birthday party?» I said, «No we all ready had the party (at Thin Air), but just wanted to come in to eat and share some cake (actually a trifle) that I made. He said,“Are you gonna bring plates and forks and spoons too?» I said puzzled, «Well I wasn’t planning on it, but I can, I suppose.» He said, «I don’t think so.» I asked what he meant and he said,“I don’t think we can have you. We aren’t a birthday party place.“
Shocked, I said, «So you don’t want my business?» He said, «What kind of place you think this is?»
I was floored! I couldn’t believe this man was turning down our business and I told him so. He was very rude and he told me that was my problem! I told him I would be sure to warn others about this kind of treatment on Unilocal and I said goodbye and hung up.
Less than a minute later my phone rang. «Hello». Him with his thick accent, «Who is this? What is your name?» I said, «sorry, but you called me. Who is this?» He demanded, «Give me your name!» I said, «Why are you calling me? This is so unprofessional. He said, «I want your name and I’m going to go into Unilocal and tell them you lie you are terrible person!»
It was the craziest thing I’d ever experienced! This place may or may not have good pizza, but the management/​owner is a nasty, rude man. I would never eat anything made by someone with such guile in their heart and soul!

So we have a couple fancy pizza places in town… and this place blows them away! The pizza is amazing! The owners make everything from scratch and take great pride in their pizza. The sauce and the dough are outstanding! The quality of the product is something you can taste in your first bite.
The Maria’s Special pizza is the perfect combination if you can’t decide what to order. You won’t be disappointed. BYOB and enjoy your pizza on the patio. Marie and Elie are the owners and they make you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. Another hidden gem at this place is their subs! My favorite is the turkey sub with the Italian dressing. Aaamazing!!!
Maria’s pizza has been a San Antonio staple for decades. If you haven’t tried this place, add it to your culinary bucket list. Warning though… once you’ve had their pizza, all others with fall short.

Hands down the best NY/​east coast pizza in San Antonio. It’s a little expensive compared to the competition but as soon as you take a bite you’ll know it’s well worth it. The owners are great, friendly people. When you walk in you’ll see them making the pizzas by hand.

After reading the many glowing reviews, I was looking forward to a quality pie. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The crust was just so so and the toppings were merely average. My extra large, two toppings pizza was $ 20. But to my eye, it really was just a large, at the most, and too expressive. I really like the staff and I think I met the owner who was terrific.

The flavors were sharp and identifiable, with a crisp crust. Obviously all made from scratch and cooked to perfection. Worth every penny.

It was just ok… pizza crust has like a cracker consistency and it was small and expensive
