Pizza restaurant · Warehouse District
Strolling down the downtown Austin sidewalk you begin to hear Italian music from somewhere close by. You realize it's a pizzeria - from the moment you walk into DeSano and see two Italian wood-burning ovens and master pizzaiolos at work, you realize this is more than just another pizza joint -- it's a culinary event. Staying true to Italian heritage, we use only the highest quality ingredients flown in weekly from Napoli and Campania. From hand-picked San Marzano tomatoes and creamy Mozzarella di Bufala, to exceptional Italian flour used for the dough, you will understand what goes into making our traditional pizza Napoletana. All of our delicious pizzas are expertly crafted to order and cooked in our wood-burning ovens for 90 seconds, slightly charring the crust without compromising the fresh toppings. We offer additional Italian specialties on the menu including calzones, house-made cannoli, salads, and more. Accompany your favorite pizza with a bottle of Italian wine. We have hand-selected each wine on the menu including Red, Rosé, Sparkling and White. If you prefer beer, we have Peroni and Menabrea in both a blonde (bionda) and amber (ambrata).
