My spouse and I got dinner, and I got the veggie sub and Greek salad. It was an amazing combination. In the first place, the veggie sub had breaded, fried artichoke hearts that made a wonderfully textured and flavorful main to the sandwich, and of course, the bread is delightfully chewy -- which you can see in the bread machine that they have on site. But the star of the show was the Greek salad. It was amazing: a light, crisp explosion of Mediterranean flavors into my palate. Seriously, peppercinis, vinaigrette, olives, and artichokes give the whole thing a wonderfully acidic flavor, but not overly so, and the feta is a fantastic accompaniment. Seriously, if light and crispy are your Thing, you should have this salad. It's always great for a restaurant to have vegetarian options, and Valentino's delivers. read more

We were coming down to the last meals of his visit and Mr R absolutely lit up when I asked if he wanted Valentino's again. He repeated his beloved veggie sub with its fried artichoke hearts and tried their Greek salad this time. I chose spicy mortadella and couldn't pass up the chance for us both to try the current feature, fried green tomato. The chips are back in the container with the subs (which can have varying results depending on how juicy your sub is, but they're undeniably tasty). Mr R was so happy with his veggie sub again and THRILLED with the Greek salad. At first I wondered if they used 'nduja but I believe I spied Calabrian peppers on the bread--whatever the source, a decent burn kicks in after a delay on the mortadella. A lovely cool slaw atop which proved pretty juicy. Very nice. If this is your first time with mortadella, know that frying it makes it exquisite and you should definitely try that sometime. But it was the fried green tomato sub* which had me sounding like a remake of When Harry Met Sally, the perfect golden fry on gently tart green tomatoes interspersed with chunks of feta and a light ripe tomato relish had me making sounds that would have been embarrassing if we'd chosen to eat at the restaurant. Mr R agreed when he got his half. That is definitely on the keeper list. Mr R said his real sugar soda was lovely. Outside of some chips and the last bites of spicy mortadella sub that became a cold morning snack, we cleaned UP and slept soundly on bellies full of the good stuff. Love, love, love it. *fried green tomato was their weekly special option; specials rotate out and may repeat someday or never be seen again. Have fun. read more

After looking for a new spot to try, I was surprised Valentino's was at the San Marcos Square. I decided I needed a late snack and went there. Love the bar set-up and the service was great soon as sat down. It was a calm Tuesday night so the ambiance was well received with country all night. - I ordered some garlic knots and a 14". Half cheese and the other Hawaiian. The knots were not fully cooked but still tasted good. The pizza itself was good. It did seem a bit flat despite it being loaded with the toppings. The taste was good, especially at the crust and it came out on time. I also took a few slices homes to reheat in a mini oven at work. It also tasted good the next day. - overall, I give it a 4 (on a personal rating, 7.5/10 ). Excellent location on the square and good special on drinks. I'd come back again to try other things and maybe increase the personal rating. read more

From the meat combination to the perfectly toasted bread to the not too vinegarry oils they use, this sammich was a surprise home run, & imho they have the best Italiano Sub in SM! read more

I have just moved to Texas recently, the bouncer outside verified my drivers license and asked if I planned on drinking. I told him I would be ordering a beer with my pizza. He then told me they would not serve me because I didn't have a Texas drivers license and they won't accept any out of state identification. I then told him okay I'll just get pizza and move along to the next bar he then told me he actually could not let me into the establishment because I had an out of state driver's license. read more

Went back with some coworkers, which I was very hesitant about; however, the pizza improved. Pie Society is an easy first choice with Valentino's being a decent second option. The atmosphere is dirty dive bar and the service is lukewarm. read more

We've been promising to try this pizza spot for over 2 years now. We stopped in today to give them a try. They have a nice cocktail menu and several beers on tap. The glass of red wine I chose was pretty bad. It was also ice cold, which should never be the case. I ordered the ricotta pizza without the onion. My husband ordered the usual pepperoni. We asked that our to go supreme be put in when our pizzas came to the table. Our server was very nice about taking the wine off of our bill as they were out of the second choice. Our pizzas came and my husband was very pleased with his pizza. Mine just needed something, maybe the onion that I left off? I'm not sure but I was very disappointed in my choice. We finished what we could eat and asked how the to go pizza was coming along when our server came by.... She didn't put the order in so we went ahead and cancelled it. We will give them another try at a later date as I believe they were just having an off day. read more

This place is FANTASTIC! Truly feels like you're in a pizzeria in NJ/PA/NY. All of the flavors were on point and it really hit home after that first bite.

What a surprise! Flew in to Texas today, trouble at the car rental and arrived at our hotel hungry but needing to get to a pre wedding dinner. But we needed something to eat. Drove into San Marcos and found Valentino's. Ordered two slices and found a crust to rival New York's. Friendly staff, small but good menu. read more

Valentino's Pizza - Awesome - Pizza Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Tiger is the best and the food is incredible. Will come back all the time just for the pizza and drinks.

We got a classic pepperoni and garlic knots on Friday evening. I like the thinness of the pizza, it was very seasoned so very salty, the cheese wasn't cheesing, and the garlic knots were hard. Almost like eating dried up play dough. Dr. Pepper was flat so switch to sprite. I did like the ranch and the marinara sauce. The atmosphere and service were good. I personally didn't enjoy the food and left disappointed and craving didn't hit. I could see it still being successful because of their location and ofc drunk college students enjoy a salty slice. read more

Honestly I'm not a fan of thin and crispy pizza so I wasn't really a fan of the jalapeño slice I ordered, but my girlfriend loved the pepperoni slice she ordered and the ranch was good and thick. The fried pickles were delicious, I would definitely go back just to order those. The shots were great! Cameron was a great bartender and helpful with decision making and suggestions! read more

Very cool atmosphere. Service was very fast and helpful. Good smelled amazing! Also the music vibes were on point.

I love the atmosphere in this place. It looks like a cheesy strip club from outside and (un)fortunately it is not. However, was very pleased when my partner and I walked in and the fantastic four movie was playing. It feels as if you're in a clean dive bar with pizza. Speaking of, we each ordered a slice of pizza which was very good! read more

I heard about this place because of their $1 Wing Wednesdays. My GF and I went yesterday for said promotion. Parking on The Square was fast and easy; we parked literally across from restaurant. Granted, it wasn't a weekend night, was but only 7:10 p.m. CDT. The restaurant was cozy and smelled good--like a pizza joint would. Our waitress was nice, patient, presentable, and helpful. She happily took our request to split the pizza in halves by side (because we both don't agree on olives). However, the wings were spicy some and I did have to get up to seek her for a refill on our beverages. Aside from that minor problem, she was worth the tip. The music they played, mostly alternative rock, was great too! Exactly up my lane. The wings were delicious-especially for being a buck a piece. Not like Pluckers or WingStop, but better than Domino's and Chinese buffets. 6.5/10, given a very objective rating. 8.3/10 for being $1 each. Flavor was on point. The pizza menu took me surprise. They had vegan cheese you could substitute onto them. Very much worth the extra $2 for anyone who knows L-I firsthand. In terms of its taste and texture, obviously, not as good as real dairy, but pretty great for vegan cheese. The pizza was as delicious as the wings. Not too saucy, not too thin, and given good portions for toppings. I appreciated the free refill they offer on drinks too. In short, specifically in context of $1 Wing Wednesdays, the value, service, and quality of the dinner was amazing. Pizzas are steep on price some, NGL, but it is what is. I'd recommend this business and look forward to next Wednesday. read more

I love this place!!! So convenient being able to get a a slice late at night. So glad they reopened

Bad service? More like no service at all. The pizza was mediocre, and not one of the four employees I saw even greeted me. My waitress was whispering the whole time, and this was at 3 p.m. with an empty restaurant. lol read more

I'd come back because the food was good, but the service could definitely improve. The staff taking orders were on their phones and didn't seem attentive, which made the experience feel very unprofessional. read more
