    Small and simple spot for some good pizza. Very close to the Riverwalk and the touristy area with all the hotels, but not a tourist trap. Good pizza that was bigger than we expected, and the chef's salad was delicious as well. The inside and seating is nothing special but they were able to accommodate us and our baby. We were surprised how many families with kids were there at 9pm!! The place filled up. The waiters were patient and very friendly and down to earth.

    Ok folks - classic New York style. Got a Mushroom, sausage, pepperoni and buffalo Mozzarella za! Oh yeah! It's good folks (and I am from Chi town)! Very good! Sauce and crust are perfect! Ingredients are fresh and plentiful! Come here and eat and you will be happy you did! It's yummy and fresh! In health and happiness! Cheers!

    Came here with co-workers during lunch and ordered a pizza to go. A small corner building and the pizza was yummy! It didn't take them long to get the pizza out either. The price is a bit higher than most places I've been to, but it was a pretty big size.

    Oh my! The pizza was super good!! Glad we found this gem across from the bus station in downtown San Antonio. Amazing food, fun atmosphere in this little downtown gem! The servers were spot on offered drinks and refills in a timely manner, within approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The pizza was fresh made and tossed NY style! I can't wait to come back, try other pizzas and their desserts! We had a quiet evening here before we went to the Tobin for a performance. It was quick and a fast walk over to the Tobin after dinner. I can't wait to come back again when we are back in the area. I work right down the street and could pick it up on the way home!

    Small and simple place but good music and perfect temp to escape this heat! Hostess believe her name was Sam was our server and she rocked both made it feel welcoming. We played it safe with just a pepperoni pizza and it was perfect! I'm usually not a fan of pizza that folds I like a little crisp but all 4 slices I ate were good! Perfect cheese to pepperoni and the crust was crunchy - the type of pizza that tastes good even when it cooled down! It was stubbornly delicious! The berry cheesecake is made in house and perfect cap to great lunch!

    A friend recommended this little hole in the wall downtown. It has incredible pizza. We had the mushroom and pepperoni crispy pizza. I can tell you that these ingredients are definitely fresh. The mushrooms are so delicious. We also had a salad. The servers are so prompt in getting seated and fast, friendly service.

    Another amazing experience at Fathead Pizza! I came here before and was super impressed by the quality of food along with the warm service. I came back today with my boyfriend to see if it was as good as I remembered. It sure was. This time it was very busy, but a table opened up just was we arrived. We were greeted immediately and they cleared the open table in record time. We ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza, along with a Karbach Bock and an imported Italian amber lager. We only waited a short time before our pizza arrived hot and looking outstanding. Even though the dining room was busy, everyone was friendly and the staff was attentive. The warm glow of the neon sign cast a relaxed feeling in the cozy dining room. The pizza was phenomenal. Just the right amount of toppings, the sauce was expertly spread, and the flavor. My goodness this place is worth the drive from anywhere. Even the mushrooms had an outstanding taste. We finished the whole thing, no crumbs were left. When it was time to check out, the servers moved quickly to allow others to move in. Just a five star place from top to bottom. Don't miss your chance to try the best pizza in Texas. We will be back!!

    Went out for a late night walk and came across this place. It's definitely a gem and has damn good pizza ! Crust has just the right amount of crisp and the toppings are all fresh! Craving pizza - come here. Next time I'm in town I'll be back!

    When I walked in, I was skeptical as I was the only patron, staff was courteous and helped select the pie for my taste with minimal changes (meat lovers). The crust, sauce and doneness we perfect blend, nothing overpowered the other. Atmosphere is cozy in the shadow of a greyhound bus depot which I must admit I didn't know still existed. Loved the small quiet vibe, let me eat have a beer in quiet, I don't need a room full of 80" flatscreens to keep me entertained.

    This place was so cute, really clean in the kitchen area (we sat at the bar), amazing service, and the pizza was awesome. Do it! And then do it again!

    Overall: Such a fun spot for cheesecake! Definitely worth checking out if you're a cheesecake fan…read more Parking: There's a small parking lot right by the shop, but it can fill up pretty quickly. We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors!

I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic? (9$, the lemon meringue, blueberry one) My favorite was the lemon meringue (9/10), then raspberry black sesame (8.7/10), then cookies and cream (6/10). The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?) I would come back to try other flavors! Makes a great gift.

    8 courses of dessert may seem like too much, but Nicosi has made the change in my mindset after my…read moreexperience here. The word dessert escaped my mind throughout the process. We waited by the Pullman Market porch area for our tasting and they came out with mini frozen hibiscus drinks. I expected sweet, but only had tart flavors that stimulated my palette. Finally, me and my friends were taken in to a private dark room with the seats surrounding the kitchen where the magic was about to happen. The 8 course comes with 4 different flavor profiles and 1 alcoholic drink per flavor type. The most memorable profile was umami with the jerk chicken and bitter with the banana and chocolate. These two topped off as my favorites. The chocolate with my banana was the best I had ever yet. The bowl had to be picked clean. The chefs walked us through each of the dishes and explaining the story behind as well as any questions we had. We all had a blast with the tasting and would come back again. Don't forget, you get a fortune cookie to take home!

They have a storyline to create a plot for the "dessert" creations. The pastry chefs interweave sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and umami throughout the evening AND is also paired with a drink per dish. They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting. After it's all done, they do part you with a BIG fortune cookie with a handwritten fortune! This is the time where you are allowed to pull your phones out. And you can also step in the kitchen area and take pics. Menu does change. I'd definitely go again!
