" DeSano Pizzeria is without a doubt the best pizza place in Austin! The crust was thin and crispy, just like I remembered from Italy. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Diavola and got to share the chocolate cannoli for dessert; it was heavenly! I can’t recommend this place enough! Truly authentic and delicious. Next time, I'm trying the gluten-free option for my friend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Austin and came across DeSano Pizzeria. I’m so glad I did! The pizzas were incredible—the dough was light and airy yet had a beautiful char from the wood-fired oven. We shared the Diavola and the prosciutto pizza, and both were packed with flavor. The staff was attentive but not intrusive, creating a very pleasant atmosphere for our meal. I cannot recommend this place enough if you're looking for authentic pizza in Austin. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just WOW. We stumbled upon DeSano on a night when we were looking for a good pizza place, and it did not disappoint! The service was super-fast, and we were seated right away. I had the gluttonous pleasure of devouring the spicy Diavola pizza. The flavors were legit, the crust was perfect, and the experience felt genuinely welcoming. A must-visit for anyone who enjoys pizza! I’m definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" DeSano Pizzeria is an experience! I've never had pizza this authentic in the States, it’s as close to Italy as you can get! I had the Diavola and I must say, it was a meal worth sharing—it was so rich in flavor. The atmosphere was lively, even amidst the crowded seating. Luckily, the staff made sure we got everything we needed fast and efficiently. I can’t wait to return; this is a pizza lover's paradise! " (*Curated Review*)

I would recommend it to anyone; just be prepared to wait if you go during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)
