Playland Pizza

It's unfortunate to hear that this establishment will be closing soon, but I finally made it out to PlayLand pizza as I had business downtown this afternoon. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience, the restaurant was airy and open And there's an option to sit outdoors under the covered patio as well. Staff were very kind and attentive despite being busy. I ordered an appetizer of meatballs which I found to be above average and taste and consistency, However, I found the marinara sauce to really be the shining spot in the dish as it was filled with flavor. I ordered a 9-in pizza which came out around under 12 minutes later. I enjoyed the chewy yet Crunchy crust of the pizza and the very stringy cheeses put on top. I also like the flavor of the sausage that was used but would have liked to see the mushroom sauteed before put on the pizza as they were a bit watery. In terms of pizza, I give it a 7.5 out of 10, just wish the pizza it self was seasoned a little better but adding Parmesan cheese to it took care of my qualms.

The food was excellent and the staff was awesome! My husband and I stopped in for dinner on a Thursday night after trying to find a place to dine during the cold weather (everywhere we had in mind was closed—weird for us being from Colorado, lol). We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table but it was totally worth it. Everyone from the restaurant that we talked to was so friendly. We shared a big ranch salad and the poppers. Both were full of flavor. We also each ordered a pizza. The toppings were fresh and the pizza was perfectly cooked. The ratio of sauce and cheese was perfect too. The mushrooms were to die for in my opinion. The ranch did cost $1 but was yummy. Also, the bathroom was clean as well. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and will return.

Nice vibe. There is also a downstair (additional tables and also restroom). Outside dining as well. Its like a club/bar feelings because of the music that's being played, but not too loud that you can't enjoy. Overall it is a fancy restaurant for adults. I don't usually go clubbing, but this is enjoying for me.

Had heard great things and finally got to try Playland recently and was glad we did. We had the Guilt Trip and lemme tell you that the hint of honey works sooo well we ordered a second. We also had the Caesar Salad and it was fresh and crisp and paired well with some refreshing white wine. Atmosphere is upbeat and club-like but it was nice day and opted to sit outside and play the tourist.

This pizza is excellent. The crust is just crisp enough, the toppings are perfectly cooked, and the cheese and sauce are added in just the right amount to ooze flavor and not oils. I can't stress enough the you should add basil to any pie. Be sure to try the pimento cheese balls which are equally delicious. Playland Pizza may make the best pizza in this part of Texas.

I was visiting my mother (who lives San Antonio), and a friend recommended “Playland” for us to try. We were all pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere, the service, the food taste & quality, & the drinks from the bar (we visited during Happy Hour)! This is DEFINITELY a restaurant you will want to try if you’re visiting downtown San Antonio. Pizza & Wings are to die for! It’s just a hop, skip and a jump off the Riverwalk…& a lot less touristy! We were sat right away and our food arrived quickly. Chef Stefan even visited our table to make sure everything was delicious and prepared the way we liked it. Will definitely be back! Thank you! 😀
