Alfredo's Gelato Pizza Cannoli & Caffè — Restaurant in San Antonio

Upon hearing that Alfredo and his family were finally getting settled into their new location, I called up my friends and immediately planned a roadtrip. In the pouring rain, I traversed 3.5 hours on the chaos that is I-35 just for a chance to have another pizza and scoop of gelato lovingly handmade by Alfredo (and son). "With a pandemic and rain outside, however did you enjoy such a delicious meal?" you may ask. I packed a folding table and chairs into my car to set up on an empty level of the parking garage this fine establishment is so conveniently located in.

Yes, that's how good it is.

Alfredo's new space features a convenient, stream-lined area where you can order your pizza and desserts. With his fancy pizza oven (he promised us it wasn't alien, but it seems too advanced to be from Earth), you only have a couple minutes to decide what delicious gelato flavors you want to complete your dining experience before your pizza comes out with a perfect crust and perfectly cooked toppings - seriously, that pizza oven has separate cooking temperatures for both sides so it comes out perfect every time. For this trip, I treated myself to the strawberry fields and milk & cookies gelato. Two delightful flavors that I will dream of until I can return again!

His new space also features a convenient walk-up window that is perfect in this pandemic and will be a great addition when it's safe for people to return to San Antonio's nightlife. I'd venture to say this is one of the best food options around the Majestic Theater.

Best of all, I was so happy to see the kindhearted Alfredo again. When you buy food from Alfredo, you are supporting a man who has so much pride in the art that he serves you. He will remember your face if you keep coming back - and trust me, you will want to keep coming back! I have since moved away from San Antonio, but I will always make sure to stop by when I pass through town again.

Long live Alfredo's...

Beware if you have children on stroller. Found this place and walked from the Alamo thinking the walk on the heat will be worth it after reading great reviews..... As soon as we went in, me, my mom, my 2 toddlers on a stroller and my husband; my husband had to go back to the car real quick but we were hungry and ready to order. We were exhausted and it was super hot outside. I was going to wait for my husband to be back to order. People in front of me placed their order. A new burn cheese pizza came out to be sold by slices (I was gonna order that for my kids but I guess not).... Then the girl behind the counter asked me "ls there anything I can help you with?" I said, "not yet thanks, I'm waiting on my husband " She replied with a nasty "well your stroller is blocking my handicap access so I need you to move " So if I'm not ready to order I have to park my children outside in the sun on a 103 degree afternoon? We are sitting in the only table inside, no one is attempting to walk in that entrance except us on wheels and you want me to move along? Well I guess I can go find food somewhere else. As soon as my husband arrived I told him we can go hungry somewhere else. Children in strollers are not...

As a visitor from Philly with my wife and children, I know what rude looks like and I experienced here. My day in San Antonio was amazing and the people were inviting until this place. When my wife came into order, there was no line but the woman behind the counter took her time to wait on my wife. The pizza was SUBPAR!! I even went inside to order a soda with ice and when the woman behind the counter told me that she didn't have any ice (PECULIAR especially in over 100 DEGREES)😮, I said "Que lastima" which means what a shame in Spanish. The woman behind the counter, seemed caught off guard, and said what did you say and I explained to her that I said what's a shame in Spanish. I proceeded to ask her if she understood Spanish and what her ethnicity was and she described herself as Hispanic. Most Hispanics are usually quick to acknowledge specifically where they are from but not this person! And then I asked her if she understood Spanish and sarcastically she said when I feel like it! 💯😳🤦🏿‍♂️ Well at that moment, I knew it was time for me to LEAVE and never return the next time I visit San...
