Visiting San Antonio? You’re going to eat a lot of Tex-Mex — and you should. But when you need a break from tacos, enchiladas, and puffy queso, pizza is the move. Every hotel has a room service pizza menu that costs $22 and tastes like cardboard. Every delivery app has surge pricing at 9 PM. Skip both. If you want local pizza that’s actually worth the order — and a menu item you literally can’t get anywhere else in the country — here’s where to go.
Skip the Hotel Restaurant — Get Real Pizza
San Antonio hotels, especially along the Riverwalk and near the convention center, charge resort-level prices for mediocre food. A room service pizza at a downtown hotel runs $18–$24 for a 10-inch pie that arrives lukewarm. You can do significantly better for less money.
- Our location: 8530 SH 151 Access Rd — about 15 minutes from downtown, right off Highway 151 on the west side. Easy access from I-10 or Loop 410
- Near major attractions: We’re less than 10 minutes from SeaWorld San Antonio and about 15 minutes from Six Flags Fiesta Texas — if you’re doing the theme park circuit, we’re on your route
- Airport proximity: San Antonio International Airport (SAT) to our restaurant is about 20 minutes — a reasonable stop on the way to or from your hotel if you’re driving
- Delivery to hotels: We deliver to addresses within our delivery zone — enter your hotel address at online checkout to check. Include your room number in the delivery notes
- Delivery app comparison: Ordering directly from us (online or phone) avoids the $5–$10 in markups and fees that DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub add — a large pizza from us costs what it costs, no hidden charges
What Makes Us Different from the Chains
You can get Domino’s or Pizza Hut in every city in America — you probably have one near your house. You came to San Antonio. Eat something local.
- Veteran-owned and local: We’re a Veteran-owned franchise that’s been part of San Antonio for decades, left for 35 years, and came back in 2025 because people here demanded it
- The Taco Pie: Seasoned beef, refried beans, cheddar, lettuce, and tomato on pizza crust — a Tex-Mex/pizza fusion that exists only at Godfather’s and tastes like San Antonio itself. You cannot get this anywhere else
- Fresh crust options: Three crust types made in-house daily — Original (traditional with chew), Golden (thick and buttery), and thin crust. No chain offers this level of crust variety with this quality
- Comeback story: Godfather’s Pizza was a fixture in San Antonio in the ’80s and ’90s — people who grew up here remember the buffet, the crust, the specific taste. Bringing it back after 35 years is a local story, not a corporate decision
- Honest pricing: A large specialty pizza runs $34.50 — more than a chain deal pizza, but significantly less than hotel room service and dramatically better in quality

- Classic Combo for a group: If you’re feeding a family or a group of travelers, the Classic Combo has enough variety (6 toppings) that everyone finds something they like

Tourist-Friendly Ordering
If you’re visiting from out of town, here’s how to order efficiently depending on your situation:
- Staying downtown/Riverwalk: Order online for delivery — enter your hotel address, include your room number in the notes, and we’ll get it there. Check delivery zone coverage first

Is Godfather’s Pizza a chain or a local restaurant?
Godfather’s Pizza is a national franchise brand founded in 1973 in Omaha, Nebraska. Our San Antonio location is independently owned by a local Veteran who brought the brand back after a 35-year absence. We operate as a local restaurant with deep community roots — not a corporate-run chain location. The menu, the service, and the operation are all local.
Is Godfather’s Pizza near SeaWorld San Antonio?
Yes — we’re less than 10 minutes from SeaWorld. Our restaurant at 8530 SH 151 Access Rd is right on Highway 151, which is the main road to SeaWorld. It’s one of the closest quality pizza options to the park — much better than the food court prices inside.
What are Godfather’s Pizza hours?
Sunday–Thursday: 11 AM to 9 PM. Friday–Saturday: 11 AM to 10 PM. We’re open every day including most holidays, though hours may adjust on major holidays. Call (210) 750-2222 to confirm holiday hours. Check our hours and location page for details.
