Dough Pizzeria Napoletana on Blanco Road in San Antonio has been earning its Neapolitan pizza credentials since it opened, producing wood-fired pizza with the VPN-certified technique that requires proper dough fermentation, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and an 800-plus-degree wood-fired oven to achieve the blistered, charred crust the style demands. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 13 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Porktastic,” which aired April 11, 2011. Guy Fieri found a San Antonio pizza kitchen that had earned its Neapolitan bona fides through genuine technique rather than marketing — the kind of pizza that makes people drive across town and makes locals wonder how they went without it.

What to Eat
The Margherita is the Neapolitan benchmark — San Marzano tomatoes, fresh fior di latte mozzarella, basil, and olive oil on a properly blistered, charred crust from the wood-fired oven. It is the pizza that tells you everything about whether a Neapolitan kitchen knows what it’s doing, and Dough’s answer is yes. The Salsiccia e Friarielli with house-made Italian sausage and broccoli rabe is the specialty pie most regulars consider the best on the menu. The House-Made Antipasti — charcuterie, imported cheeses, marinated vegetables — are the starters worth ordering while the pizza bakes. The Burrata with seasonal accompaniments is the appetizer that converts anyone who needs convincing before the pizza arrives. Find a San Antonio hotel on Travelocity.
