DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana - Downtown Austin

Overall: 3.8/5 [take out] We ordered a box of Pistachio Cannoli ($5.99 each) for a Sicilian themed dinner party. While I waited for my order it was cool to watch them make pizza right in front of me and the smell was wonderful. The cannoli were huge and each couple ended up sharing one and we still had leftovers. The cream filling was really light and subtly sweet while the pastry shell was on the softer side for a fried shell. It was different from what I was expecting but an interesting dessert to try.

DeSano was DeLicious! We got the lasagna pizza and the crust was perfectly chewy, the cheeses they use were so good, and the ricotta on the pizza was absolutely delicious. The food came out so fast too! The location is small, but its cute and friendly because you'll likely share a table with others, but that makes it fun! I was a little worried about having somewhere to sit, but people were pretty good about space. Staff was really nice as well!

Absolutely loved my visit to DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana in downtown Austin. The vibe is cool and lively without being overwhelming, and the self-service setup keeps things moving fast—perfect when you’re hungry and don’t want to wait around. The pizza is the real star: authentic Neapolitan-style with a perfectly thin, tender crust, lightly charred and full of flavor. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and handled with care. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient, making the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. If you’re craving legit pizza in the heart of Austin, DeSano is a must-stop 🍕🔥

Was here with family for lunch and the pizzas were authentic and delicious. The crust is a little on the thinner side so hungry teenagers will definitely ask for more !!! The Nutella pizza comes with hazelnuts on top (which I did not know). They also gave dough and hat to keep the kids busy while we waited. Must try if in the area.

So so good. Questo pizza è fantastico, buonissimo 😋, napoletano. Best I've had in so long. Cashier even got my friend some ice from next door because he hurt his shoulder. 2 men should order an 18 inch. I highly recommend the Margherita DOP. The cheese here too is awesome. And I've been to Naples twice.
