2-1-DOUGH PIZZA CO. — Restaurant in San Antonio

We visited Black Laboratory Brewing for dinner on the night we arrived in San Antonio for a quick trip. We knew they "had pizza", but we had no idea that it would be some of the best pizza we've eaten in years. No joke. Located inside of Black Laboratory Brewing, 2-1-Dough Pizza Co. is worth a visit even if you don't drink beer. If you visit and do drink beer, you should because the brewery was also worthy of 5 stars. But, I digress. We started with the Brussels sprouts. My husband and I devoured the flash fried Brussels with their perfect balance of lemon, parmigiana cheese, and honey. They weren't too sweet or too tangy, just perfection. I convinced my husband to try The Situation, a pizza with a pesto base, topped with pepperoni, salami, basil, red onion, pepperoncini, red pepper, and mozzarella. He's usually a pizza purist who insists on red sauce, but he agreed to split this one with me, and we BOTH loved it! We loved it so much that we returned the next night to order both the Brussels and The Situation again. We saw several salads that looked incredible, as well as wings and fried cauliflower. I imagine that anything they prepare would be delicious. Their crust may be the best crust we've ever eaten. The interesting combination of flavors was just perfection. You should definitely...

As you enter, the flames gently fill the wood-fired brick oven, beautifully embracing your pizza from top to bottom. I started with the Brussels sprouts appetizer, which was delicious. For my pizza, I went with the classic pepperoni. The quality of the pepperonis was outstanding—definitely worthy of five stars. However, I would rate the crust six stars if I could; it was amazing.

If the pizza and appetizers weren't enough, the hospitality is something you rarely see anymore. Miranda was at the counter when I arrived and welcomed me as if I were family. After thoroughly enjoying my meal, complemented by a big Red soda, the owner came by to thank me for coming in and to ask if I enjoyed the food. I told him that everything—from his staff to the food—was excellent.

Not only will I be returning, but I’ll also be bringing my family and friends next time. If you live within 60 miles, I highly recommend you give this family-owned restaurant a try. Growing up in Texas, having a Big Red to drink makes you feel right at home. By the way, their establishment is located right next to a brewery. Pizza and beer—they're playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. I wish I could...

I rarely write reviews, but this place definitely deserves one for their amazing food and friendly service. I’ve eaten here 5 times, trying something new every time, and I am always impressed by the quality and taste of their food. I’ve enjoyed their cubano, chicken pesto and chicken bacon ranch sandwiches, and The Situation pizza. But my favorite by far is the Spicy Italian sandwich which I tried today. I can honestly say it is one of the best Italian sandwiches I’ve ever tasted in my life. It is only second to an authentic Italian deli I went to before. What really sets it apart is the freshly grilled focaccia bread topped with pesto and the arugula salad with an amazing vinaigrette that really accentuates the various meats. Simply amazing. The staff and owners are very friendly and take pride in their creations. Definitely give this place a try if you’re looking for consistently amazing food to pair with great beer. (They are attached to an equally amazing brewery—Black Laboratory Brewing—that also produces amazing and unique brews that...
