"Doug Horn's VPN-certified Blanco Road pizzeria, open since 2007, pulls its own mozzarella for one of San Antonio's best pizzas."
About Dough Pizzeria Napoletana
Dough Pizzeria Napoletana is the Blanco Road room that chef Doug Horn and his wife Lori opened in November 2007. A Culinary Institute of America graduate, Doug holds the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana certificate, the Naples body's proof of bona fide Neapolitan pizza. It has stayed a fixture of our San Antonio guide and grown to several locations.
The draw is dough proofed slowly and baked in a wood-fired oven, paired with mozzarella pulled in-house. For more on what separates a serious kitchen from a forgettable one, see our guide to the signs of a great restaurant.
The Kitchen
The pizzas lead, blistered and pliable from the wood oven, with signatures including the Truffle Burrata and the Pork Love. House-pulled mozzarella, a fresh burrata, and an Italian antipasti and salad list round out the savoury side, with the Limoncello Torta to finish. It is honest mid-range pricing, which is part of why the room stays busy. The kitchen has been featured on Food Network.
The Room
The setting is a relaxed, family-friendly pizzeria with a patio and an easy buzz rather than a designed dining room. It works for a casual date, a birthday with friends, or a no-fuss lunch, and it handles groups well. Service is quick and unpretentious, in keeping with the price.
Best for a casual date or a relaxed birthday
Share a couple of wood-fired pies and a burrata for an easy first date or a casual birthday; the room and prices also make a comfortable midday business lunch.
Not for
A formal, hushed or fine-dining evening: this is a busy, family-friendly pizzeria built for a relaxed meal rather than a quiet occasion.
