The AMC
Zachary S.

There are still plenty of places in Castroville that I have yet to explore. I've driven by The Dough Station multiple times and always thought it seemed like a good place to get some slices. An opportunity arose yesterday, and I ordered two pizzas for pickup. The only way to order takeout is by calling the store. They don't take orders online. It only took a few rings, and I was able to easily place my order. They told me it would be 25 to 30 minutes, so I showed up about 30 minutes later around 6:30 pm. After I paid, it took another 10 minutes for the pizzas to be ready, and I left with them in hand at 6:40. The place clearly had an evening rush since the parking lot was pretty full. The space is a hybrid indoor-outdoor setup with a small inside room to order and check out. It's hard to explain the exact vibe of the place, but honestly, it's such a cool spot. The restaurant is in a former gas station, and they keep that energy through modernized yet slightly rustic decor. Outside seating is picnic benches with umbrellas protecting customers from the Texas heat. The place was poppin' on a Friday night because frankly, it's the place to be. Such a cool evening vibe. It reminds me of More Homeslice off Congress in Austin, but more local and with a great bar. As for the pizza, they only have one size at 14 inches (6 slices), with a 10-inch cauliflower crust for the homies who need it. We ordered two pizzas for my parents and me, and it was plenty. For being 6 slices each, the proportions are fair, but we were hungry, so 4 slices each was perfect. Next time, I think I'll opt for one of their appetizers too because they look fire, especially the house-made parisa (say less!!). We ordered The AMC, which had brisket, bacon, pepperoni, meatballs, and mortadella. It's a unique take on a meat lovers pizza, but it was fire, especially the cuts of brisket. My dad and I crushed the pizza. No survivors. For my mom, we got a cheese pizza (they call it The McCallister) with black olives. She didn't finish the pizza, so my dad and I did. Double homicide. I rock with woodfire pizza, and The Dough Station did a great job. The entire 10-minute drive home, I was tempted to open up a box and sneak a slice, but I knew I'd be judged for my greed. I'm excited to return to The Dough Station and eat in person soon, because if the vibes don't pull me back, the pizza definitely will.

Arugula pizza is its portabella mushrooms added

We have been coming to this pizza place almost weekly since them opened almost 2 years ago. It's that good and we think the owners are super nice too. They have a great mixture of traditional pizzas and even some they have put their own spin on. We recommend The Local and the Arugula pizza. The Local is a bbq brisket pizza. It has a tangy sauce, brisket from the local bbq joint in town, pickles and pickled red onions. It sounds so weird but trust me it's delicious! The arugula pizza is my husbands favorite. It has a white sauce, arugula, cheese and salty little bits. It's great. They offer normal crusts and gluten free. I'm not gluten free but I think their gluten free crust is amazing too. I highly recommend saving some room for gelato. She has some creative flavors and they are very much worth splurging on.

Came here on Halloween for the first time. The pizza was made quickly and was very good. The staffs were excellent and helpful. The had a nice beer and ok wine selection. The outdoor patio was very nice but just a bit noisy from the loud music and highway 90 traffic.

The Margherita pizza, the Local pizza (brisket, pickled onions and bbq sauce), and pimento cheese appetizer - all delicious!

Delicious pizzas with lots of different toppings at great prices! Fun outdoor eating area as well as seating by the bar. Great service too

Camera always eats first BUT we were starving by the time we got back to San Antonio so I didn't get any pictures! As someone who is gluten free it's not just the taste that matters but the safety matters too. They were extremely careful and led with "preference or allergy", a crucial distinction for someone with Celiac like me. That is great service and pride in what you are doing. Anywho, on one of our many trips through Castroville we decided to stop here after noticing this place a few months back. My gluten free Margherita pizza was great! I had sausage added. The burrata salad was so good! I have done nothing but complain about the lack of burrata in San Antonio. My husband's pizza (normal crust) was very good looking. I'm so bummed I didn't take pictures. Haha It's worth the stop! We would've eaten in for a first time try normally but we're on the road with our pups and it's just not feasible. Parking up front can be tricky but there is normally plenty of street spots. I had no idea how cute Castroville was and wish I had know back when we first moved to TX. We're leaving the state but I hope this place and this town continue to thrive! Also they have the cutest cowgirl t-shirts! I would've gotten one but they only had them in blue and yellow.

Let's start with the obvious... Is the pizza good? No... It's fabulous! Perfect crust cooked to perfection and topped with delicious ingredients. My wife, son, & I had the AMC which was great. Our friends had a cauliflower crust which was best I've ever had. If you're new to Castroville order the Paris appetizer. It's not found many places and they do it well. They make homemade gelato which looked great but we will have to try that next time...

The McCallister
Jeramy P.

Pizza here is great. We showed up at 6pm and it was pretty busy. Order inside and then grab a seat outside. There is a full bar here too. We ordered the Chisme bread, The McCallister, flammkuchen, and The Angry. The Chisme comes with a sauce, so we got the house made ranch. Everything was so tasty. Seating outdoors are on picnic style tables, don't be afraid to share. I recommend the Chisme bread, and The McCallister.

Pizza, sandwich, salads, all good.

Great food, service is amazing. Love the way it is set up. I recommend the big sexy sandwich.

You have to try the Chief pizza and the Smores pizza. They are a little stingy with the cheese and sauce, so you might ask for extra.

They have so many options to suit your dietary preferences such as dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. They also promote organic and sustainable sourced food. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy. It was served with brown rice and side salad with balsamic vinaigrette. It was pretty good, and you can taste the freshness of the food. I also ordered The One and Only Sweet Potato cupcake. They were just finishing up a batch when I asked if they were dairy free, the employee told me that they were NOT dairy free due to the cream cheese frosting, but she had some cupcakes that were not frosted and could sell me one! I'm so happy about this because I was able to enjoyed a little treats and this cupcake was DELICIOUS 100/10, definitely recommend. I got my other coworker the cupcake with cream cheese My coworker ordered the Tender Chicken Breast with the Chili Love flavoring and ordered it was a side of Mac and Cheese. She really enjoyed the chicken but not a big fan of the Mac and cheese. I was IN LOVE with the seating options, it was all outdoor, provided entirely with shade, a couple of fans to keep the area nice and cool, and lots and lots of plants. They played some tropical latin salsa/jazz music which created such a peaceful atmosphere. I loved how they served the meals in biodegradable containers/plates. They do encourage you to recycle anything recyclable. They also ask that you clean and wipe down the table (which I was glad to do.) I had a great experience as they were able to accommodate my dietary preferences of being dairy free--I will definitely return for the vibe and to try more items on the menu.

I found…read moreThai Bird when searching for cheap eats near me and, after looking at the menu, decided to stop by with my wife and daughter. We opted for one of their family meals that feeds 3 to 4, which included three of their large chicken strips and half of one of their Thai Chickens. With this, you get two sides, plus jasmine rice and ginger pickles, which are also considered sides when ordered independently. Ordering takes place at the counter, and we were helped by Harry, who was pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu, the sauces that accompanied their flavorful chicken courses, and the restaurant's history and future, which seemed promising. We left with leftovers for my son to sample so everyone can know about this gem so close to home. If you're looking for original flavors with traditional tastes like chicken fingers and baked chicken, definitely check this place out. They also have some traditional Thai favorites, but we decided to venture outside of that zone and sample their unique tastes.

There are a couple seats outside the door too. Best after the donuts, is the rotisserie chicken. Better if you eat the skin! The tenders came bigger than expected but also dry. Didn't care much for the sauces, don't tell the chef but we went home and used the good old honey mustard You get rice and a couple of sauces. Wish they let us try their chili sauce they sell separately Not cheap, $12 for 2 tenders 1.5 rotisserie chicken $16.50 They charge extra for credit cards even debit so beware, wish we were told.

The playground is visually well kept and there's not a spot where you could sit and eat where you can't see the kids playing. Went on a busy Saturday night so, there was understandably a wait (roughly 45mins) from the time I got in line to the time I actually got my food... There is a huge selection of draft, bottled, and canned alcoholic drinks! My burger was cooked well and tasted good. Also got to try their chicken nachos and I love when you can tell, from taste, that food is made from scratch! I can see why they are known for their sweet potato fries though because they were the best sweet potato fries I have ever had; crispy and seasoned lightly! A must visit spot in San Antonio!

I also love the spacious outdoor seating with covered playground for kiddos!! The two main issues I had are the pricing for amount of food (way overpriced for tiny portions of average food) and secondly everything is dirty/sticky. It gives dive bar vibes which is fine but for a family friendly place it is very grimey. Also side note, the homemade "ginger ale" tastes like straight ginger soaked in water so I'd recommend against ordering that.
