Grand Slam Pizza — Restaurant in Dripping Springs

Update January 2022. I have reduced my rating from 5 to 3 stars after noting at last visit that the ice cream machine has been removed, apparently permanently. I have always considered the ice cream to be a big part of the appeal.

I can only imagine the difficulty of operating a restaurant during COVID, but eliminating a staple element from the menu with no price reduction can only further discourage your regular customers.

It is a deal breaker for me and I likely won't be back.

............. The low reviews must be from chronic whiners. There is not a friendlier proprietor in town than Mr. Lee. He always thanks you upon entry and exit, and he is a great favorite amongst the high school athletic teams as he is a regular supporter.

No, for god's sake, this is NOT gourmet pizza. Anyone expecting all you can eat pizza, salad, pasta, soda AND dessert (soft serve ice cream) at $6.95 to be the best pizza in town will be disappointed. What you WILL get is tasty, edible pizza in a variety of combinations, and a friendly smile from the staff.

And for those who complain that there are just 2-3 pizzas on the serving line at any one time... DUH.. that's so when you get a slice(s) it is hot and fresh! I've been here scores of times, including occasional visits where all the pizza was gone. I can't remember ever having to wait more than 3-4 minutes for new, hot, fresh pizza to show up.

To the gal who gave a one-star review because their delivery driver was too scared to drive down her street at night? Move to a safe neighborhood, and next time limit your ratings to an assessment...

Excellent customer service (both owners made it a point to Thank us personally for coming in). The food was FRESHLY made and very good. As a previous review had mentioned, this place is the "American dream" of places to eat. The food is fresh, good and a nice casual atmosphere with a GREAT price! The salad bar is simple but FRESH. Ice cream (soft serve) with cones! The kids AND parents loved it! The pizza on the buffet line was out on occasion (kinda crowded on a friday night) but fresh pizza was put out (right out of the oven) within 3 minutes or less EVERY time they were out of pizza). The food was not wasted or made in excess and never sat there under the heat lamps drying out (thus making sure all food was extremely fresh!!!). I have worked for multiple pizza places (and Mr. Gatti's pizza buffet) and this place is a rare Delight! Great Prices and local flavor ! This place it not "fancy" so people moving into the area (From out of town/out of state) might not be happy because they expect a pizza chain or something flashy/trendy. This place is not that and I like it that way, since the owners work the oven and cash register every day. I hope that they continue to stay open for another 40 years so we can take our Grandkids here. For the price and quality, this place is exceptional and we will continue to return time and again (and bring our friends...

They are the ONLY place anywhere nearby that makes fajita and Mexican style pizzas. We used to order taco pizzas at Pizza Hut when I was little and I miss it. Refried beans, salsa, lettuce, cheese, choice of meat and it hit the spot. Grand slam is the closest thing to that and they make it good! Their other pizzas are great too. We order online with a card and they have it read at the right time. Arcade games are inside for the kids and people love a pizza restaurant salad and pizza bar. It’s not a large buffet but will satisfy kids who can gobble up pizza nonstop. They’re always making more for everyone. I’ve never had to ask for them to make new ones. They really do need a place of their own that doesn’t share a parking lot with UPS, the deli next door and other stores so there’s more room to park. While I’m a bit of a pizza snob, I really enjoy smaller places with a smaller menu. Plus, they give that Tex Mex twist with the flavors. They’re supporters of local sports too. Sweet, hardworking family and...
