Playland Pizza

Great pizza with an even better atmosphere. We visited on a busy Saturday evening and only waited about 35 minutes to be seated inside. Our server was great! She was polite and very attentive. We ordered the marinated castlevetrano olives, 'Is there a problem here' pizza, and 2 orders of the buffalo wings. Everything was delicious! The wing sauce was tangy, the pizza flavors were balanced, and the marinade left over from the olives made a great dipping sauce for the pizza crust. Highly recommend and we will definitely be returning!

The food was excellent and the staff was awesome! My husband and I stopped in for dinner on a Thursday night after trying to find a place to dine during the cold weather (everywhere we had in mind was closed—weird for us being from Colorado, lol). We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table but it was totally worth it. Everyone from the restaurant that we talked to was so friendly. We shared a big ranch salad and the poppers. Both were full of flavor. We also each ordered a pizza. The toppings were fresh and the pizza was perfectly cooked. The ratio of sauce and cheese was perfect too. The mushrooms were to die for in my opinion. The ranch did cost $1 but was yummy. Also, the bathroom was clean as well. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and will return.

I’d like to try this place again but not on takeout.. I like pizza to be crispy enough to stand up on its own.. it had good flavor but I felt it was missing something. I found the one with Capricola was extremely salty and I didn’t enjoy it at all. Maybe I’d have a better experience in-house.. very pricey for pizza. I’ve seen location at night and it looks very pretty inside. Next I want to spend almost $40. On two pizzas I’ll stop by.

I was visiting my mother (who lives San Antonio), and a friend recommended “Playland” for us to try. We were all pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere, the service, the food taste & quality, & the drinks from the bar (we visited during Happy Hour)! This is DEFINITELY a restaurant you will want to try if you’re visiting downtown San Antonio. Pizza & Wings are to die for! It’s just a hop, skip and a jump off the Riverwalk…& a lot less touristy! We were sat right away and our food arrived quickly. Chef Stefan even visited our table to make sure everything was delicious and prepared the way we liked it. Will definitely be back! Thank you! 😀

Great pizza. The dough is soft and crispy, toppings are fresh. It’s the first pizza place that I didn’t have to say “extra basil!” They know the proper amount of basil to put on pizza-all if it! We had the roof fire white pizza and the bruiser. Both were delicious. The pesto on the former was amazing and the prosciutto on the latter was very crispy. The red sauce on the latter was good too. Service was great. Atmosphere is cool too. The wings aren’t spicy so if you want spicy eat the peppers that come with them. The flavour was good but expected heat given the description but instead they were only sweet. The cucumber martini was refreshing.

This pizza is excellent. The crust is just crisp enough, the toppings are perfectly cooked, and the cheese and sauce are added in just the right amount to ooze flavor and not oils. I can't stress enough the you should add basil to any pie. Be sure to try the pimento cheese balls which are equally delicious. Playland Pizza may make the best pizza in this part of Texas.

Nice vibe. There is also a downstair (additional tables and also restroom). Outside dining as well. Its like a club/bar feelings because of the music that's being played, but not too loud that you can't enjoy. Overall it is a fancy restaurant for adults. I don't usually go clubbing, but this is enjoying for me.

Located at street level in the Historic Maverick Building, Playland doesn't play when it comes to serving affordable pizza in an upscale fun setting. We enjoyed our meal on the pet friendly patio. Our server graciously provided water for our thirsty pup. We selected a refreshing Tilt-a Whirl cocktail and General Tso's Wings to start things off. It was hard to choose from the many pizza offerings, but ultimately decided on the Roof Fire White. The sourdough crust, fresh pulled mozzarella, pesto, and cherry tomatoes were a perfect combination. The only thing lacking from the menu is dessert, but I won't let that keep me from returning.
