Dough in San Antonio, TX offers an extraordinary culinary experience that transports you straight to the heart of authentic Italian flavors. The ambiance is steeped in tradition, centered around a real wood-fired pizza oven that adds unmistakable authenticity to every bite.
For dinner, I indulged in two exquisite dishes that left a lasting impression. First up was the House-made Sausage pizza — a culinary masterpiece. The savory sausage paired beautifully with rich fontina cheese, sweet caramelized onions, oak-roasted mushrooms, and a hint of thyme. Topped with Locatelli pecorino romano and finished with a rosemary balsamic reduction, the flavors were bold, balanced, and deeply satisfying.
Equally impressive was the Vera Margherita pizza, a timeless classic executed to perfection. The San Marzano D.O.P. tomato sauce formed the flavorful base, layered with creamy mozzarella di bufala and fresh farm basil. Finished with more Locatelli pecorino romano, it was a true nod to Neapolitan tradition — simple, pure, and deeply flavorful.
What sets Dough apart isn’t just the food — it’s the thoughtful wine and beer pairings that complement each dish, elevating the overall experience. From the crisp, chewy crust to the impeccable ingredient sourcing, every element reflects a passion for culinary excellence.
