Did my research and found out the line starts around 3 pm. We came well prepared with a blanket to sit on a speaker and some drinks. The owners were very accommodating to those in line. We were second in line and maybe waited 15-20 minutes for pizza once we ordered. We got really lucky. The poblano was the highlight but we also got the vodka sauce and it was so creamy and bright.Most toppings are about $5 so we stuck to one topping per pizza.The crust is everything on this pizza and you can really taste the time they put into it.Love the idea of this shop! Can't Waite to bring more people. read more

I was very disappointed with Lovers Pizzeria, especially based on the rave reviews. Parking is limited and overflows onto the street, seating is limited, and after ordering there was a one-hour wait. They don't answer nor take orders over the phone so I chanced driving there. The menu is small, which makes ordering simple, but $24 for a cheese pizza and $5 per topping is very overpriced. I ordered a cheese pizza with half pepperoni and half sausage. The flavor was good, but the dough was not crispy, somewhat chewy, and the slices flopped without holding their own weight. The amount of topping was very light, I felt ripped off. Nothing really stood out to justify the hype or the price. Maybe it was an off day, but for me it was not worth it. read more

Lovers Pizzeria - Pizza is not crispy and had very few toppings - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Hands down the best pizza in San Antonio. The flavor, execution, beauty of it all was simply outstanding. I've been waiting so long to try this place and the wait was very much worth it. We came on a Friday night at 6:45 and had no problem. We grabbed an outdoor bench and waited maybe 20 mins for our pie. The Poblano Pizza was absolutely perfection. Highly recommend. Might be the best thing I've eaten all year. Soooooo gooooood! read more

Horrible experience apparently they don't take walk ins we went ready to enjoy a nice pizza and got denied bc apparently it's reservation only we came in from out of town and were recommended this spot and they couldn't serve us bc the dough is accounted for sounds fishy to me but off to a better pizza spot read more

I heard the hype and am always looking for good pizza. San Antonio is not a pizza town and most options aren't great. Lovers Pizza makes exactly the kind of pizza I like. I don't have to ask for well baked. That is how they do it. The pizza has a perfect amount of char and a crispy thin crust that easily holds up. The cheese and sauce are perfect. You can't criticize the wait time. If you make a great product people will flock. You can't criticize the price either. They sell out every day. The market determines the price. I would congratulate them on their success rather than complain. As for me, I am more than happy to wait and pay their price. It's not only the best pizza I've had in San Antonio but it's among the best I've ever had anywhere. Pro tip, get there before they open and the weight time is reasonable. read more

Have heard lots of great things about this pizzeria so we decided to check it out! I knew that the restaurant does get packed, so we got there around 45mins early to get in line before it opened. There were some people waiting in line as well & people continued to line up. When the restaurant opened we were greeted with the delicious smell of the pizza! The restaurant had a very cute local aspect to it. The food came out very quick & everything was delicious! The bread & garlic butter were excellent. I would get the garlic butter on the side as well to eat with the pizza crust. The pizzas were amazing!! Great flavor, the pizza had just enough crunch. read more

Came here with high expectations. Service was good and seating was no problem. I've tried a lot of pizza before and this one disappointed me. Good crust and good pepperonis, the sauce was not that appealing, tasted like it came from a can. I asked for Parmesan and chili flakes and they said they don't carry them? Never heard of that before. The ranch was horrible, horrible. Tasted like water. I paid $1.50 each for ranch that was made horribly. I clarified with one of the employees if the ranch was supposed to taste the way it tasted and he confirmed it's how they make their house ranch. The scenery was nice, and we got treated well. I would love to come back only if these negatives are fixed. read more

If you are looking for convenience this is not it, but if you are willing to wait for some seriously good pizza then you will be rewarded. Lovers uses locally sourced ingredients and makes a lot of in house sauces. The pizza sauce is phenomenal and gives sweetness that goes so well with any toppings you pick. I'm so sad because every time I go the desserts are sold out, but that peanut butter tres leches thing looked amazing. The wait is usually around an hour, but they should hopefully have online ordering soon. I usually just do other stuff and they text me when it's ready. Worth the wait. read more

If you're up for an adventure and some seriously good pizza, this spot is worth the wait -- but ,plan ahead! We arrived 30 minutes before opening and were already halfway through a long line. Luckily, the staff made the wait more bearable with a cooler of free beer and water, plus a tray of their delicious focaccia bread to sample. Pro tip: bring lounge chairs, an umbrella, and don't come starving -- you might not eat for two hours. Once we got our food, it was easy to see why people line up. We ordered a regular cheese pizza and garlic bread, while our friends got the cheese with vodka sauce -- hands down the winner. That vodka sauce was rich, balanced, and unforgettable. The crust was perfectly crispy and the cheese blend was spot on. The garlic bread (really just focaccia with a side of garlic spread) was a little underwhelming, but still tasty. We were lucky enough to snag a table and passed the time playing games while we waited another hour for our pizza. They sold out just one hour after opening, so come early and come prepared. Despite the wait, we'll absolutely be back -- that vodka sauce alone is worth the trip. read more

I didn't intend to eat here, but someone I know ordered and waited the two hours for his pizza, so I took advantage of it and tried it out. The base pizza was cheese with extra toppings of pepperoni, onions and garlic. The pizza is thin crust and crispy right out of the oven. There was good ratio of sauce, cheese and toppings. The flavor was definitely there. They sell house made ranch dressing that was really good. The dessert that day was a banana split tres leches and it was to die for. I would go back just for the cake. Would I wait this long for this pizza? The answer is no. It's good pizza, but I don't have the patience to stand in line and then wait an hour or two to get my food. You really do have to stand in line before they open and be one of the first ones to order. They sell out quickly too. Parking is on site. It's nice to have that available. They have inside and outside seating. read more

Got here early cuz we heard they sell out fast and I can see why. The pizza was so yummy and with their sour dough pizza dough gives it a wonderful taste. This business gets all their ingredients local as they even have a sign showing where they get it from. The service was great we told them we were new so they gave us the run through about the business. Since we're in spooky season they were playing Halloween which fitted well since my lil one was dressed up as a witch. My only thing was there are very little room to seat and eat so u might have to ask for it to go if you don't get a table but beside that their pizza is a 10/10 read more

The only downside to this place is waiting. We arrived at 3:15 today, stood in line for 20 minutes and was told the pizzas would take 50 minutes. Totally worth it though. There are about 8 tables inside, and 2 outside. People are pretty good about getting up, some take longer than others after they are finished. The poblano pizza is one of the most flavorful, unique pizzas I have ever had. You can see them hand tossing everything in the back, that's why it takes longer than the chain pizza places. The amount of car and love they put into these pies are evident though. The homemade ranch is really good too. Make sure that you get everything when you go up to order, if you aren't quick, it might be gone when you go back. read more

Went in April of 2025 to the location by the Pearl and the line was around block, I got in line at noon and was first person in line. I tried the poblano, marinara, bread and got a free drink for being first in line. They also have free beer while you wait which was the best. They serve bread while you wait in the long line, I recommend bringing a foldable seat and or an umbrella and use sunscreen. Worth the wait. Very low amount of seats, if you're not able to get a seat be prepared to wait outside longer or just get it to go. read more

BROTHER! This place is the bees knees, foreal. I had heard many great things about it, how it's always selling out and how it's brick oven pizza, so of course, I had to try! Now I failed to upload pizza pics and only put the complimentary drink I got and a pic of the "pizza is for lovers" art outside, but don't worry I got you! The parking situation is great, lots of space, so no need to worry! Once entering, the place is super clean and staff is utterly inviting. Now, I was warned we were the last ones to order since they will be sold out after making our pizzas, so we tried to leave before the 6-8 person party behind us heard! With that being said, the wait time was 45mins-1hr, which I know may seem like crazy but understand, everything's literally made scratch and there's a ton of online orders with only a handful of staff. So please, support local and give them time, this isn't little caesars, go there if you want fast food pizza. To my final words, the pizza is spectacular, the flavors and aromas of the sauce is just letting you know how fresh everything is. There's garlic, oregano and basil tasting super "freshly picked from the backyard". The pizza is ice and thin and crispy, yes you can still fold it and enjoy it without all the toppings coming off on one bite. You get what you pay for, it's a little pricey compared to fast food places, but remember it's the quality difference. Overall, I'd say try it out if you can make it on time ;) BUT little hint, go THURSDAYS that's when they are the slowest and do NOT sell out fast. Trust me. read more

I don't think it's the best pizza in SA, but it honestly came in clooooose. I ordered two pizzas, a cheese with pepperoni pizza and the other, the tomato with pepperoni and their spicy syrup sauce. The cheese and pepperoni slices were good and the dough was slightly crispy. The pizza with the spicy syrup sauce was delicious with the exception of the dough. The acidity of the tomatoes with the sweetness and spicy of the syrup, let me tell you, put that syrup on everythinggggg!!! The only reason it was not a 10 was because the pizza was burnt, and I did not like that taste mixed in with the flavors of the toppings. read more

This placed open back up - new location so check their IG out! We ordered a vodka pie and added pepperoni. It was gas. Also ordered the strawberry tres leches. You guessed it - gas. The sourdough crust was one of the best parts about the pizza as you really can taste the different between a traditional crust and this one. Definitely one of the better options in SA and honestly a standout. Love that you can bring your own drink and games -- table next to us was playing uno and it was a vibe in here! read more

So good, that's all I can say; I tried the poblano pizza, and I gotta say I have never tasted something so good. absolute cinema.

Only reason they get 5 is because the pizza was great, they are a small new business, and I'm a local. This many mistakes would normally be a 1 star place. Forgot my basil, system they made for counting inventory is incorrect, front staff makes promises and forgets, forgot my basil, skimpy on sausage and the cheese, excellent garlic flavors, excellent sauce, unburnt I imagine the crust is damn good, my pizza was overcooked and burnt black underneath and the crust, atleast they text u 10 min before its ready, waited 35 min on a Thursday, cannot make phone call orders, apparently run out of food often, forgot my basil, seriously limited ingredients list, their dessert was not tiramisu but they called it tiramisu, open at 3pm close when they run out. I'll probably never return, I need to call in orders, to wait 30-45 min because I have to drive and place order in person makes the cost of entry too high. And the pizza is definitely not good enough to account for my time. 4 stars for wasting my time. read more

I've tried to visit this place twice and both times it was a best. The first time, they had a paper plate on the door with the handwritten note saying they were going to be closed that day. The second time was a week later and I was arriving a few minutes past their posted hours to a line that was quickly growing. There was nowhere to park, however, so I decided to drive back by later on to see if parking was any better. An hour later, the line has grown and people are still outside. 30 minutes after I passed by again (now 1.5 hours after the posted opening time) and people are STILL outside. Mind you it was like 99 degrees this day. To just have people sitting outside like that and they actually stay is crazy. But it wasn't worth it to me so I ended up going to Fathead's pizza. Outside of sticking to your posted operating hours, it's equally important to realize when the space you're in is no longer working for you and that's the other problem here. The parking lot fills very quickly and then there's nowhere to really park nearby without paying or risking getting towed or ticketed. read more

I will need to review at another time because they are CLOSED. I guess update their our operation due to the "high demand "mentioned on their voicemail. read more

Can't order online or by phone. Have to drive to restaurant and hope they aren't sold out of what you want.

The pizza is amazing and the place is cute. With how busy they are it would be nice if they find an easier way to place orders without having to wait because unless you live very close by you just have to hang out for 1-2 hours before you can get your food. This is not something that stops me from going back but it does stop me from being a regular. read more

A pleasant surprise in San Antonio. We arrived and got in line 30 mins. after they opened the door and they sold out 15 minutes later. They know how much dough they have and keep/take count as patrons get in line to determine when they sell out. So, that's your heads up. While standing in line it appears there is one person making the pizzas and one person cooking the pizzas. The two stacked ovens look really shiny and new.....maybe it's the reason why....? I saw dough trays under the prep table adjacent to where the pies where being made. I counted 20 - 30 dough trays that were visible from standing online. I would think the trays likely held dough, since we arrived 30 minutes after opening. 8 doughs per tray, you do the math. Also, consider the desserts that they must prepare. This crew is working hard. It appeared that someone's parents was helping out. One person boxing/plating pizzas and the other person distributing/serving the pizzas. A friend/hired worker taking the orders at the cash register. Everyone is kind and very hospitable. We were told it would take a hour for the pizzas to be done. We drove around...went to HEB, drove around SAC campus, and went and got nieves (Mexican ice) for 2 hours waiting to get our pizzas. The pizzas weren't done when we came back to the shop. 20 minutes later the first pizza arrived and it was a good cheese pizza. I think the best one they got. Ingredients...a good simple sauce, wonderful cheese, and alright meats, and good dough is what we are paying for. We got extra cheese on everything. The pepperoni was very greasy and didn't have a good mouth feel and the sausage looked and tasted like the processed "rabbit turd" kind you get from the chain pizzas places. The other 4 pizzas came soon after. I'm a big Neapolitan style pizza lover, especially if made in a wood fire oven and appreciate the char that is likely gonna happen to pizzas cooked in such hot ovens. Some people see char on pizzas, steaks, and other foods and they are done. My sister wasn't happy with the 4 other pizzas being charred or as she said "burnt". Some people taste that "burntness" and are unhappy. The only way to make the situation better, is to replace the pizza. At this place, replacing the pizza is possibly an issue they need to start looking at doing. However, they sell out within 45 minutes of opening the door. The person tending the oven has to do a better job on the oven. Pizzas averaging $25 each that are burnt isn't acceptable. Would I come back again, possibly. I'll accept arriving and them being sold out and having to wait 2 hours for my pizza. But burnt? Next time, I'd have to tell them about themselves....ain't nobody want no oven baked burnt pizza. Oven man tighten up your group shots. read more
