What went well? Everything. I believe this is the best tasting pizza I have ever had. Maybe it's the love that it is made with or just the homemade ingredients. Damn. It's good. Service was superior, kind and considerate. It's pretty much just to go so you have to grab and go or grab a quick munch before you leave the parking lot. But it is so worth waiting for. I don't believe you could be disappointed. Enjoy. Buon appetito! read more

Wish I could give a review of their pizza but unfortunately after 3 tries, I can never find a time when he is open. Hours are definitely not what is listed on the website and apparently are flexible depending on when he decides to open. This time it took my on-line order so I figured "all was good". Drove all the way over only to find the doors locked and no lights on...and that's when I got the notice that the order was cancelled. 3 strikes...DONE!!! read more

This is a gem of a pizza shop, and the owner Eli is so friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to. Our pizza was cooked to perfection and we will be back, when we move here!!! read more

The Pizzas were great, traditional mom and pop place. Homemade sauce and pizza bread and ready when I got there!

First time customer. I love pizza and will pay top dollar for a great pie. I paid $33 for a XL pizza. 16 inch with 5 toppings. The pizza was mediocre at best. Barely there toppings that were not fresh. Could not taste the sauce. Heavy on the cheese and the crust was bland and tasteless. This was on par with the frozen Red Barron pizza from Walmart. Never again. Highly disappointed. Rating. 2.5 out of 10 read more

Best pizza ever their service is amazing and the owners are so friendly. I highly recommend this place. The pizza is so good!!!

Service was excellent! Very kind over the phone and even better in person. Pizza was delicious. This is my new favorite place. Will definitely be back! read more

Best Good pizza in town But you guys need to check your price on line!!! no the right ones $$$$$$ ???? Thank you read more

Order out only. Friendly service over the phone when I called, friendly service in person. I was picking up my order about 8:30 p.m. Drove up to owner outside chatting with a lady seated at a small table chatting with her dog hanging out on a leash. My order was ready, I was given a preview sneak peak into the box and given the total of $22.80. It was a large, 3 topping pizza with pepperoni, sausage & mushrooms. Let the lady know I was a first timer and she said "you're gonna love it! Everything is fresh." Sounds good to me. Got home 5 min later and tried a slice. It was good. Fresh gooey cheese, there was a bit too much (I know! Who complains about that! Ugh! & I love cheese!) mostly because it overpowered that sauce that was so tasty sitting on top of the yummy, crispy yet chewy crust. Toppings of pepperoni, sausage & mushroom definitely didn't overpower that cheese. They were good and they were fresh. For my first time, I'd say this place made a good first impression. For the service alone, I will be back. Looking forward to trying those Sammie's I read about from my fellow Yelper's! Nice little neighborhood gem established in the 80's! They gotta be doing something right!! read more

Great pizza. Hate the hours tho. just like Chick-fil-A you will find them closed when you crave them most (every day between 3-5 or Sundays) No complaints otherwise would give 5 stars if not for that read more

Great little neighborhood pizza and sub restaurant. Take out only now since Covid, but it's close to home. It doesn't matter who's working, Maria or Eli, the food is always great. And they're so friendly and hospitable. We especially love the Maria's special pizza. It's one of our regular go to places. We love supporting small, family owned businesses and this is one of the best. read more

I love this place. Just moved into the neighborhood and can't get enough Maria's pizza The crust is prefect, crispy and golden. The pies are never greasy. Do yourself a favor and get some Maria's pizza. read more

Maria's Pizza - a pepperoni pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This hidden family run pizzaria was a great find. Pack your patience and prepare for a delicious fresh pizza. Crust is crispy and tomato sauce is light and tasty. It did take 45 minutes mainly due to peek Saturday 7pm rush and just mom and pop running the operation. I assume due to COVID, kitchen help is a luxury. Owner went out of his way to hand out sodas to those of us waiting and apologized... Now that's customer service! read more

Maria's Pizza - Maria's Special Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

BEST PIZZA in North Central. Eli is a real pizza chef. True NY style crust and the sauce is great. You can't go wrong at Maria's. 5 starts all the way! read more

Reminds me of hometown pizza Sweet couple. My children love the plain pepperoni but I love the Marie's special with green and black olives. Love supporting a truly local neighborhood spot and they have been around since 1988. You will wait 30 minutes but it's truly handmade and worth it. read more

Very good customer service, great food, and great price. Will come back next time I'm in town.

Maria's pizza My first time eating here was when I moved to San Antonio in 1998. They have been open since 1988. They make their own dough for the pizzas. My favorite are the subs! The bread is perfectly toasted. One of my favorite places to get a sub. I wish I could go see Maria and Eli more often! They have become like family to me! read more

This is the best pizza in town!!! Great crust, not soggy at all. I will keep going to this place, and I've tried a lot of pizza places here. Definitely beats Big Lou's. The owners are very nice and polite as well. read more

Came to this modest yet warm family business tucked away on a quiet street just off the bustling main road (Wurbach). Came here based on reviews in Yelp which were almost all complimentary. As a general rule, even bad pizza is good so I thought I would trust Yelpers in this one because I wanted to try something new plus If I wound up liking it I lived close enough to make this a regular place for take out. A dignified looking woman I assume to be Maria was at the counter and I could see her husband putting meats on the pizza with care and concentration. He did not look up when I walked in. I felt like these are good people who work hard and as a team to support themselves through this business. I liked that image. Anyway, I ordered a large veggie (14 inches) for $20.60 and a large pepperoni for $13.50. With tax came to about $37 It was very plain, borderline not good. Remember Cici's before they revamped? Yea, it is like that. Very meh. I generally prefer thin crust to reduce carbs to the bare minimum while at the same time not compromising on the bread to such an extreme to the point of being a cracker. So I was a little concerned by some reviews that said the crust was too cracker-like. It is just a degree over cracker and the bread tastes like a drop biscuit with maybe a tad too much baking powder. Anyway, It is not good enough for me to become a regular. read more

Excelent pizza! owners are the nicest people. Small but cozy place, would recommend. read more

Excellent home-made pizza, family owned business; decent prices; sure beats chain pizza

Great pizza with generous toppings. Eli and Maria are super sweet and have great customer service. I can't help but stop in every time I have a craving for pizza. Their pizza does not dissappoint. I have been in several times since I moved nearby and every time the pizza is fresh and the quality is great! read more

Maria's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I was really hoping for a better pizza than what we got at Maria's. They've been at this location forever and the people there are VERY nice. The toppings and sauce (a bit sweet) were both good but the crust was more like a thick cracker than a typical pizza crust. This may be more of a preference on my part but it just didn't taste like a in-house made dough. read more

Unassuming place in a small strip, it's what a neighborhood pizzeria is supposed to be. Obviously, they make their money on take-out and delivery. They're across from a large apartment complex which makes sense. Dined in with them. Had an Italian sub. It was a great sandwich. Toasted sub roll and fresh cold cuts. I could eat here a lot. Unfortunately, I'm going home in a few days. Definitely stop there if you'd like some good food. I'm going to try for a pizza before I go home. read more

Best pizza in San Antonio!! I had it for the first time today and it did not disappoint. I come from the east coast and trying to find a New York style pizza was hard. I really don't have to look anymore, this will be my go to spot! Highly recommend anyone to try it out. It's a tiny spot but the pizza is made with so much flavor..keeps you wanting more. 10/10 in my book. The owner was even nice enough to give me a free soda for tying them for the first time. read more

Amazing customer service, very welcoming. don't even get me started on the homemade pizza, best pizza i've had in a minute. read more

Stumbled across this spot looking to grab a quick bite for lunch between meetings. Sure glad I went in! The owner could not have been nicer and more welcoming. I ordered Maria's Tasty delight on a fresh hoagie and it did not disappoint. The bread was thrown in the oven to get some extra crisp to it and it tasted amazing! This place reminded me of an old NY style deli. Looking forward to coming back and trying the pizza! read more

I am so glad I decided to buy from her as oppose to settling for chain pizza places that just never hit the spot. I LOVE New York style pizza and that is what you are getting from Maria's. I for one am a "easy on the sauce" person, and that is how they naturally make it. If you are a sauce lover I suggest you ask for extra sauce on your pie. Another pro in my book, you can tell they intentionally evenly spread the toppings over the pie. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Show your local spots some love, especially during this hardship. read more

I was looking for a local pizza place and Maria's had really good reviews so I decided to try it. The reviews were on point! The Pizza was amazing and the owners were very friendly. Safe to say I'm done with Papa John's Lol. Wish I'd gotten a pic of the whole pizza but I was eager to try it and had to scarf down a couple more pieces after the first cause it was so good! Definitely give em a try if they're in your area. read more

Maria's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is possibly one of the best pizzias I've ever had. I'm not a crust guy. I usually leave it for my wife, who prefers the crust to the pizza. Not this time. I ate all my crust, and had to fight her off (figuratively). And then the cheese. It has great pull, long strands, and a great mouth feel. The sauce is subtle, and not too much, but great. We got a ham and pineapple last night, and it was great. The owners were so nice even though I ordered right before closing, they chatted with me like I was family. The next time, and probably every time I need to pick up a pizza, it will be here. read more

If you know pizza or are a pie connoisseur, then you must try Maria's. The crust is nothing short of perfection. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. Elie and Maria are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet. read more

Maria's is a place I stumbled upon on accident during my lunch break. The place was empty except for one other patron. The owner, Eli greeted me warmly. I decided on a calzone which was delicious. The crust was perfectly golden and the filling was seasoned well. Reminded me of small family owned Italian places on the east coast. Will definitely be back again! read more
