We never pass an oppportunity to eat at Padre Pizzeria. Our favorite is the Hawaiian pizza and also the turkey subs. Great for eat in and also pickup. We live on the Island so we frequent this place alot. Service is always super and the owner is very attentive!!!

We drove from Port Aransas to Padre Island National Park to check out the beach there and stopped in town for lunch first. We were starving, in the mood for pizza and this was the first place we saw when we turned right off of Hwy 361. The outside isn't all that inviting (but don't let that stop you) and... More

WOW!!!!! you know after reading everyone's raving reviews of this place.. I think i could make a homemade pizza with better flavor and probably get my kids to be a better waitress. This was our first visit to this establishment and I was terribly disappointed. The service was slow and there was only two of us and one other couple... More

This pizza place is a definite place to go on North padre island. It was crowded and we had to wait but not long. It was worth the wait. I had noticed many people picking up pizzas to take back to their hotel. This place is a winner!

All the ingredients were there, but the pizza didn't offer a robust flavor. I have to agree with pigletpuff's review and blame for the sauce and crust for lack of seasoning. The pizza was otherwise OK. I enjoyed the service and the restaurant's proximity to the beach.

The pizzas and the calzones are very good. I don't know where pigletpuff ate, but it certainly doesn't sound like the same place all the other reviewers ate. The food takes time to get to your table, but that's ok, it's worth it. While I wait I like to check out the photographs posted on the walls by locals (available... More

This place offers great food and it is NOT a tourist trap. Really enjoyed our dining experience and especially loved their chicken wings and the greek salad. Wished they would upgrade the restaurant a bit to give it a bit more charm/character.

Excellent pizza pies; a bit pricier, but tasty. Especially good Thai pizza. Calzones exceptionally small and unfilling, however.
