I wanted something new so I tried Sylvia's. I ordered from the grocery store parking lot since it was so close. I wanted to choose my own toppings and assumed cheese would be on it so I didn't choose cheese. They sent a text asking me to confirm that I did not want cheese on my pizza. I didn't see the text because I was driving there, but when I arrived they had not made it yet, since I didn't respond. That really impressed me. That was great customer service! It's a small place back in a corner, so I see how I missed it before. While I waited they let me sample a small cone of their homemade ice cream. It was chocolate cinnamon. It was not bad, but not something that I would have put together. The ice cream was creamy and it they had another flavor I would have bought some! I ordered a small pepperoni, with onions and peppers. They don't use green peppers but they had red and yellow. It was delicious. Their pizza doesn't come with a ton of toppings but the sauce and crust are so good, you won't miss it. I will be back for more! read more

Right out of the gate, delightful. Called in an order 8pm and the employee on the phone was friendly and funny. Their time estimate was correct and pickup went smoothly. Spent $30 on two vegetarian 12" pizzas and a further $8 on nonalcoholic drinks. We finished all but one piece of pizza which was a great breakfast, and it's easy to put away because the toppings were simple but pleasing and good quality. I'm not beholden to any one style of pizza, and want to say the thin crust here is outstanding. Delicate, chewy, airy, not overly filling. Ridiculous it took me this long to visit, but we're big cheerleaders now. read more

Decided to get pizza and I'm trying to stay mostly vegetarian -- thanks, gout -- and my spouse said we'd get pizza from Sylvia. We got two twelve-inch pizzas, a Neddy Veggie, and a Cheesy Dream. The former is a mushroom, bell pepper, red sauce, and basil pizza, the latter, essentially a white pizza margherita, namely, alfredo sauce, cheese, and basil. The Cheesy dream was great because there wasn't too much alfredo, and it went just right with the cheese and basil. The Neddy Veggie was great because it was not overly cheesy, but had plenty of mushrooms and bell peppers. But the star of Sylvia is the crust. Thin and hand stretched, the crust is chewy at the edges and just right. Seriously, this is now in my top ten pizza crusts of all time. I could eat the crust itself as a meal. The pizzas were delicious. But not only were the pizzas great, but when we called in the to-go order, the kitchen staff got the time that it would be ready down nearly to the minute. The staff were all quite friendly, and one person addressed me by name that he remembered from it getting called in. Seriously, if you like a good hand-tossed thin crust pizza, you can't do better than Sylvia. Highly recommend. read more

The pizza is excellent and made with care. 35 minutes from order to the kitchen window for you to nab yourself. They have a nice selection of different drinks and a few beers and wines. The staff was incredibly friendly and apologetic for the wait, but it seemed to be the norm to wait so long. Treat yourself to the churro ice cream. It is delish. I might order ahead next time and skip waiting in the restaurant. A few call outs for you next trip there: -$15 for a personal pizza -$1.25 for a side of ranch (albeit delicious and housemade) but the menu says $1 -Tipping is an option on their kiosk despite it being the kind of place where you get your own food and bus tour own table read more

We attended a high school graduation and wanted to eat a late lunch ( or early dinner) before driving home for 90 minutes! Found this pizza place on Yelp. The pizza is 12 inch pie for individual serving. I choose the Cheesy Dream. It was surprisingly delicious! It's a very thin pizza but the crust had the perfect combination of soft inside and a crusty crust! The service is self - serve. It's a college town - San Marcos! Full service is not needed. The restaurant is not big - it's tastefully decorated - unexpected in a college town. We would love to come back to this place. Their churro flavored ice cream was smooth and delicious! The combo of tasty pizza and great churro ice cream is enough to entice us to come back later this year. PS Their background music is soothing for the soul! read more

We tried this hidden gem for the first time last night. They are nestled in the back of a shopping center in downtown San Marcos. The decorations are modern and fun. The kitchen is open so that you can see them preparing the food. All pizzas are personal sized. We ordered a Nedy vegetarian and a pepperoni. The pizzas were ready in about 25 minutes and were delicious. Very thin crust with fresh toppings. For dessert we had the churro ice cream which was perfect to soothe our sweet tooths. read more

Found this pizza place that just opened up with my roommate and we decided to try it out! I will say that the quality is great, but I do think it is on the expensive side being in a college town and for small portions. Pepperoni Sausage Pizza - The pepperoni was great on the pizza, but the sausage they used seemed a little random. It wasn't really staying on the pizza (because it was round). The crust was great though! It was thin and the crust was crispy! Churro Ice Cream - Delicious! I loved the flavor of this. The server talked about how it is made in-house. The flavor tasted like churro cream cheese and the texture was super smooth and creamy. OBSESSED!! I would definitely come back to Sylvia Pizza! I couldn't recommend the ice cream more! read more

I absolutely love Neapolitan pizza. The only better place you can get Neapolitan pizza? Naples. And there, ranch is a crime. I will gladly do the time for the ranch here. This place needs a Bib Gourmand/Recommended rating. Get on that tire folks. Pay no attention to SoCal J's review. I'm one of the patrons she referenced. She cray. read more

I had the vegetarian pizza when Sylvia's Pizza did their pop-ups in California, and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had! The bread is so soft, the ingredients are always fresh, and you can really taste the care that goes into each bite. I also love that this is a family-owned business, their customer service is always warm and welcoming. I highly recommend trying their pizza if you get the chance. I can't wait to visit Texas to try their soft serve as well! read more

The pizza is amazing here! The crust is perfect and the toppings are incredibly fresh. We ordered the pepperoni and jalapeño pizza and the Queen (margarita). Both were excellent.

Family run business that aims to please. The pizza was delicious! Friendly service and clean environment.

If you haven't been to Sylvia Pizza yet, you are seriously missing out! This spot is serving up some of the best neo-Napoletana style pizzas I've ever had. Their 12-inch pizzas are the perfect personal size, and every bite was amazing. The crust is thin with the perfect airy, light texture--exactly how it should be! We tried the Cheezy Dream and the Pepperoni & Sausage, and both were absolutely incredible. And don't even get me started on their homemade ranch--it was next-level delicious and the perfect dip for those crust ends! But honestly, the highlight of our visit was their house-made churro ice cream... absolutely unreal. It's the kind of dessert you'll be thinking about for days. On top of all that, the owners were so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly, highly recommend checking them out. We'll definitely be back very soon! read more

We've tried 4 of the pizzas from the menu and the White Rebel is our favorite by far! Owner told us they're rolling out new items this summer and we are super excited to try. This is, hands down, the best pizza in San Marcos. I'm looking forward to seeing this shop grow and continue to sell out of their delicious pizza! read more

I'm a pizza fiend (and also a little bit of a pizza snob). I grew up in Los Angeles and there are so many great pizza joints there. I moved to Louisiana in 2020 and then to San Marcos this summer. When I saw that these guys were from L.A. and just opened up shop here a few weeks ago? I had to go check them out. I have found my new GO TO pizza joint in the area. Loved every single bite. The crust had the right amount of doughiness to it, the sauce was perfection and the pepperoni and sausage were . I am leaving to So Cal for Christmas next week (and will indulge in Petrillos Pizza while I'm there). But you best believe I'll make a second trip to Sylvia Pizza this week before I leave for So Cal. Great pizza, cool owners. Go support this awesome new business! read more

The building is nicely redone with cute art on the walls. The simple menu consists of pizza, ice cream, and banana pudding. The star here is the crust, crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. The pizza oven got a nice char on the bottom. The pizzas are 12 inches, so you need one per person. I haven't found this style anywhere else in San Marcos, and I'm happy to have it around. Service was pretty fast. The Ube Oreo Banana pudding was incredible. It was a bit steep at $7 per serving, but it was worth it. It's like a dirt cup and banana pudding had a baby. You can't really taste the Ube, but it makes it a delightful purple color. read more

This is a pretty solid pizza place. The owner is very nice and he def knows how to make good pizza. The ingredients taste super fresh. The dough is made in-house and left to prove for 3 days. It's really a perfect pizza dough--soft and slightly chewy with a nice flavor. The sauce and cheese were also delicious. Also, the cinnamon soft serve ice cream is amazing--don't skip out on it! I do wish they sold beer/wine or allowed for byob. Adding some salads to the menu would also be a nice bonus, but overall, we had a great experience! It's super cute inside with the decor as well. read more

Tried Sylvia's for the first time today and it was amazing!!! Had "The Queen", which is their version of a Margherita pizza, although I got pepperoni added. *Amazing* dough, flavor was great (I might have them toss mine in for just a little while longer next time just cause I like it a little charred, but that's a personal preference!) Ingredients all felt super quality and fresh, the basil was so bright and perfect on it. Also, when I walked in the two guys working offered me and my wife a sample of their churro soft serve, which high key may be the best in house ice cream I've ever had. So great to see a super high quality pizza place here in town!! Excited to try everything now!! read more

Sylvia Pizza - Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

The San Marcos pizza battle is currently underway, and i'm here for all for it. Currently, and looking only at the 3 pizza spots on the square; Valentinos, Gumbys, and now Sylvia. Sylvia is a strong front runner, where they stand alone with their made-to-order, personal 12", homemade neopalotian pizzas. Everything they make is fresh and done in-house. It's one of those things you notice as soon as you bring your pie to your table. We were greeted with this amazing, no flop, light, fluffy, favorable pizza that was just as refreshing the first bite as it was the last. Since they are the new boys, they do not have their liquor license yet, but they still have all your typic drinks. I'm not too sure if they are BYOB, but I'm sure we can find out. They went with a nice white and blue color scheme that juat reminds me of comfort. Inside is clean and has a wall of prints which provides some good visual eye candy while you eat. Their is an upstairs loft style that, I guess, they use for seeting overflow. There is a covered courtyard that is attracted to their building. I didn't see anyone sitting outside, but I'm assuming you could once it gets cooler. While the pizza is reason enough to pay a second visit to what is really going to be the way to get the wife to go is reminding her about how amazing their, once again, homemade churro ice cream. OH MY GOD. So freaking good !!!! Ask for a free sample. read more

The best pizza of all time! The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, everything is super clean and aesthetic. All of the workers were so friendly and welcoming and just so pleasant from the moment we came in. Everyone has been telling us to come here for so long and we are so glad we finally tried it. It will definitely be our go to pizza place from now on! Highly recommend. read more

Food, service, and ambiance, eh? Well, ambiance being the least of my concerns, and the ambiance being lovely, I give them a point for ambiance. However, food & service being most important to me, I cannot give any points for these. Service doesn't seem to even exist here. One walks through the little cafe to an order taker, who takes your order & your payment. Then one waits with the little electronic notice pad until the signal comes. I assume one then picks up their pizza at the window when called, but we didn't make it that far. We were warned that we had to wait 30 minutes, and we agreed, and we enjoyed sitting at the table in the nice atrium in back. We waited 30 minutes, then more, until we went to check. They hadn't even started our pizza - according to the pizzaiola, because of "a large party ahead of us" (WE were ahead of THEM) & some online orders. It was obvious that the guy had zero customer service skills & possibly no business acumen whatsoever, as he immediately dismissed us & our concerns, told us to take a refund & "take your business elsewhere." Most people, perhaps, can't see through his ruse, but I was a restaurant worker & manager for about the first half of my adult life - his lack of humility & empathy was striking. His place is obviously in the kitchen, where customers can be shielded from him, but they need someone to take charge of the place & operate it correctly. The order taker was actually quite friendly & charismatic, and could conceivably run this place, but I doubt that guy would follow her lead. I hope all those local college kids got their "online orders" on time. read more

Stumbled on this place randomly one night when it was POURING so we did carry out. When I went in to pickup the pizza, they were so nice and offered a free sample of their churro ice cream. Went out to the car and upon trying the ice cream immediately went back in and bought 2 ice creams. I've been back close to once a week since. Absolutely the best pizza in SM and such a cute atmosphere! The staff are absolutely incredible, and don't even get me started on the homemade ranch read more

Amazing pizza in San Marcos!! Perfect after tubing down the river. Service is extremely friendly and pizza bake times are fast at 755 degrees! Pizza crust is thin and can easily be folded in half, with a crispy, fluffy crust, flavorful sauce and yummy pepperoni cups. Tasted the homemade cinnamon ice cream and it was great as well. Will definitely be back when we come through again! read more

The food is great! Awesome pizza and ice cream. And a great crew. The space is nice as well.

LOVED IT! We got "The Queen"/Margarita Pizza and the Pepperoni Pizza. Loved both-ate entire thing. Tastes REAL and like one you'd get in Italy. Good bread/cheese/sauce. Good vibe-cute date night spot. Good music too and fun art to look at. Staff was very nice and accommodating. They even gave us free ice cream on the way out-and that was amazing too (like so much better than just your regular soft serve). We used to have to go to Austin for pizza we liked but are so glad to now have a go to spot in town. Very impressed and will go many times. read more

I was craving pizza and was fortunate to find this gem! I am vegan, they currently don't offer vegan cheese, but I asked for one with no cheese and all their veggies including their pizza sauce and fresh basil. It did not disappoint at all! My friend is gluten intolerant, but because this place uses sourdough starter made from scratch and not yeast for their pizza dough he was able to eat pizza also. I will definitely be returning! read more

I had been at Bikini Hill with a friend, and we drove by this spot. We ended up looking at the menu and swinging by. It was empty inside, they've apparently only been open a few months, so they're still an underrated gem. The host was extremely enthusiastic and all of the staff seemed genuinely excited to see us. They were wonderful to talk to and ended up giving us free ice cream to wait (highly recommend their churro ice cream, it's not overwhelming in flavor at all and is so refreshing!). The pizza came out quickly and was equally fabulous, the crust is thick but very airy, and the pizza itself is on the thinner side and very well ratio-d ingredients wise. I will absolutely be going back and definitely recommend, get in while they're still underrated! read more
