cosa nostra pizzeria

when we’re “feeling fancy” this is the go-to place. they have gourmet pizza options andgreatlunch specials. there is even a giant pizza- perfect for large groups. i’m still not positive that the pizzeria is just a store front for the local mob, but that’s just my imagination! my only issue is the pricing is higher than your typical dominoes or papa johns that you just grab on the way home from work, which is why we reserve it for “special occasions”.

they have a very friendly staff and a very tasty thin crust pizza that leaves no grease on the plate. the only thing missing here is dimmed lighting that would add to the atmosphere and show off agreatbar design.

yummy pizza for sure!. looked on line for 'new york style' pizza places in san antonio. a couple were displayed, and since this one was a little closer to home than the other, we decided to give it a try. oh man, am i glad glad we did! this one hits the description ofgreatnew york style pizza right on the head! the pizza was delicious and the crust was something you don't leave behind either. done just right! when my wife and i finished that pizza, there was no evidence that it had ever existed. no crust bones, this is all good pizza! salads were also good. there was plenty of different beers on hand, but we had iced tea last night instead and it was also very tasty, not the watered down instant junk you often get in other places. service was fast and friendly and the prices were reasonable. i like paying for good food instead of a fancy building and these people put the quality in their product plus keep this cozy little place sparkling clean. ( waitress was cute too guys!)

love it. they do agreatjob...

so damn good!. we aren't ashamed - we eat there once a week. top tier food and uber-consistent. we have tried almost every pizza, most of the pastas, all of the apps and more than half the salads. you simply won't go wrong. hits: spicy meat n margherita pizza, italian sub, fried raviolis n hozerella sticks. every salad has been delish and a a meal (this coming from a 200 pound man not on a diet). weren't fans of the overly sweet bbq sauce on that pizza but that's been the only miss compared to 35+ other good togreatdishes.

ordered a take-out pizza tonight to be picked up. it was an excellent pizza! they makegreatfood but have a little trouble having it ready in a timely manner. don't let that stop you. it is worth the wait.

tried this place last night when we needed a quick dinner takeout. had chicken piccata and chicken marsala. both came with salads. the food was good. portions of chicken were small, lots of angel hair pasta. salads were also good. next time we'll try the pizza. they will deliver within 5 miles of the restaurant. don't know what the charge will be. definitely worth trying again.

tried the pizza. very good. a little slow getting a call-in order ready. 20 minutes should be sufficient for a pizza and salad.

great neighborhood pizza place. quick, simple,greatfood and good beer selection. we both were craving a "slice" and decided to try this instead of luciano down the street. i actually liked the pizza better at cosa nostra (and luciano is a fav of mine). the crust was really good, like ny and you can pick your toppings. it's a ny-sized slice for $2.75 and very filling. we also had the cosa nostra salad - you have to try this. mandarine oranges, grilled chicken, feta and lots of other good ingredients. wonderful presentation. the slice was so big we took the salad to go for the next day.greatplace! very convenient in the neighborhood. like that it looks locally owned. we will be back.

me and the wife had the fried cheese ravioli and large pizza with sausage/pepperoni topping.. was simply incredible!!!greattaste,dough etc... will be back and will make it our date nite every week!!

very good nyc pizza. hopefully, cosa nostra refers to "our thing" in english rather than to the sicilian mob organization (you know to which one i'm referring! either way, this is very good pizza. newly opened only 5 weeks ago, it is conveniently located just a few minutes off of loop 1604. ambience is spartan and super clean with a handful of silenced tvs and quiet background music. the menu is heavy (good thing) on pizza but offers calzone, pasta, and salads. beer on tap, including birra morrettti (yum!) and in bottles. pizza is baked in traditional ovens (not coal or wood fired). service is friendly. pies come out quickly. crust is near perfect (using nyc thin crust or traditional italian as the gold standard): crisp, chewy, and toasted. we prefer ours just a bit crisper and slightly charred. we opted for one tomato-based and one white pie. each was delicious. all toppings were fresh, flavorful, and tasty. pies were nicely presented and came out piping hot. cheese is very good quality with no oil dripping off.

cosa nostra has some heavy competition in town, but stands up nicely compared to the likes of trilogy's thin crust. lacking the wood-fired ovens of dough or fralo's, cosa nostra takes a back seat to them. however, compared to all of the nasty chain pizza in town, this isgreatstuff! we'll be back. overall: very good to excellent. highly recommended.

outstanding pizza. was going to go out for dinner tonight, however, our youngest one had some tummy issues. decided to give the new place in the neighborhood a try. took about 50 minutes from call to door and was 100% worth the wait. got some pizza rolls, 1/2 cheese 1/2 pepp for the boys and a margherita for me and the wife. new york style thin crust and the flavor of the dough was exceptional. normally i'll eat the pizza bones with some ranch or something to give it a little extra "oomph." not necessary here. the flavor on the margherita was perfect. the basil was noticeable without dominating. the pizza rolls used the same dough and came with some superb dipping marinara sauce. the boys devoured theirs and even asked for seconds (rare for them). all in all 5 out of 5 stars from me andgreatto have it close to the house.
