Stopped in for pizza with family on a Monday night. Parking is available for free, and we were seated promptly. You order at the counter and then they bring you the food when it's ready. A variety of delicious pizzas, salads, calzones and desserts are available. Also, soft drinks and wines. You seat yourself at the tables. We had pizza and a calzone. Ingredients are authentic Italian and the food was delicious. However, my wife and I were able to finish the large pizza we ordered, which cost $27. So prices are somewhat upscale for portions you receive. Restaurant is clean and service was good. I liked it but felt like it was a bit pricey.

DeSano doesn’t really offer “traditional” Neapolitan pizza, but it’s a solid American pizza joint. The crust isn’t the thinnest but it is very good. Toppings are fresh and the tomato sauce is nice as well. However, I find it to be quite overpriced - 2 pizzas cost me $42, and that’s before tax and delivery fees. The quality is decent, but a 12-inch pizza shouldn’t cost more than $12-15, in my opinion.

Authentic Italian pizzeria! No chicken, no ranch, no pineapples. Calzone and pizzas were both delicious. We also had the Nutella banana and strawberry dessert pizza and I recommend! Peroni beer available on tap or bottles. Inside spacious seating and great patio options.

Being from NYC, I thought the New York style pizza was good, it had a nice pull which is pretty close to the real thing. Stuff pizza was interesting. The ambiance was nice, great place for group dining. They had fresh garnishes, fresh chopped basil and garlic with spicy olive oil

Terrible. I paid $38 for two small pizzas, a coke and a water. The pizza (cheese, mushroom and prosciutto) was swimming in salty liquid in the center as can be seen in the picture. This soaked the crust so badly that it disintegrated when you tried to pick it up and the toppings just fell in a heap on the plate.I know I should have complained at the time but with the a combination of hunger and a very limited amount of time to grab lunch I didn’t do that. I thought I would send an email when I got home but apart from telephone numbers for ordering there are no contact details on their website.This was a very disappointing outcome and the first time I went here the pizza was phenomenal.

What a great place- delicious food, great service & definitely taste like authentic Italian pizza. Jeffrey was an amazing help to breakdown the menu for us as it was our first time. He also helped navigate through some of the customers “favorites” to give us an idea on what we may like- he was spot on & we will definitely be back. 10/10 food, quality & service. Thank you!

This place is dee-freaking-liciousssssss!!!! I can't rave enough! It's totally worth the price for what you get. The Bianca with black olives is my fav followed by the classic margherita! The Nutella dessert pizza is delicious as well - that bread is fantastic!

This review is about out pickup experience. We ordered in the afternoon for a 7:00 pickup. We decided to try this place based on it wining #1 pizza place in Austin. I arrived at 7:02 for my pickup. Nice big open place. They have all their ingredients on pallets though out restaurant but almost to many because they cause bottlenecks in a few places. I get my pizza home by 7:15 and I got to say What a disappointment. Our pizza was ice cold and so was our "focaccia bread" it was more of a pita bread to me. The pizza was so soggy you couldn't even pickup a slice. The heating instructions said put pie directly on oven if I would have tried that the pizza would have fell though the rack. Besides why should you have to reheat a pizza I just bought. My wife and I did enjoy the the cannoli. The shell was out of this world. If I do go back it will be for the cannoli and I'll grab my pizza somewhere else.

Tasty “authentic” pizza! DeSano really prides themselves on the authentic idea. The menu is set, there are no additions or substitutions. It is set up where you grab your own drinks from a cooler, and order and pay at a counter. You seat yourselves at these long picnic table style tables. Then, they deliver your pizza to your table. It was a family atmosphere and the pizza was tasty. I’d go back.

Food was amazing! We had a pepperoni pizza and a salad. The salad (Italian chopped) came with two slices of the most flavorful bread that I had to order some to go. I did not care much for the meat that came in the salad.
