Dough Pizzeria Napoletana is a San Antonio restaurant known for its authentic Neopolitan style pizza concept and coming up in May, there will be another location, this one to be located downtown at Hemisfair. Dough’s success stems from the original San Antonio location on Blanco Road which Doug and Lori Horn opened in 2007 and another location in Plano, TX, which opened in 2012. The debut of Dough’s second location in San Antonio will add further grandeur to the vibrant and redeveloping urban district downtown. (Dough Pizzeria Napoletana, 2018)
Inspired by the traditions of Italian ingredients, Executive Chef and Co-Owner Doug Horn, with his wife, Co-Owner Lori Horn, have developed the only pizzeria in San Antonio certified to serve under the guidelines created by Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani (Neapolitan Pizzaioli Association) founded in Naples, Italy. All ingredients are sourced as much as possible from Italy as well as from local farmers. A true Neapolitan-style pizza is easy to distinguish: charred crust, sparse toppings and a raised border.
Menu pizza options will range from Arugula & Prosciutto, blending house-made mozzarella with truffle vinaigrette, to Pork Love, made with house-made spicy sausage, Speck, Soppressata Salami, Pancetta, house-made mozzarella and tomato sauce. Aside from traditional pizza, guests can expect house-made burrata, meatballs, antipasti, Tuscan and Italian salads and Italian-inspired desserts. Dough Pizzeria Napoletana will also reflect Italy with its extensive wine menu featuring carefully selected and imported vino from Southern Italy. The drink menu will include a range of Italian sodas and local craft beers on tap, as well as Kimbo espresso.
Dough will be located on the corner of South Alamo Street and East César E. Chávez Boulevard at the southwest corner of Hemisfair. Owners Doug and Lori Horn anticipate the renowned restaurant will become a neighborhood spot for locals, a checklist destination for downtown tourists and convention attendees, a relaxing place in the park and a jumping off point for exploring Southtown. Like other businesses at Hemisfair, Dough will operate out of a restored historic property, an icehouse once called the O.K. Bar, serendipitously matching Dough’s branding which has always included the “O.K.” symbol. There will be a neon “O.K.” hand symbol sign outside the restaurant, as well as an “O.K.” symbol mural located near the entranceway, as an homage to the historic building’s name.
“We’re thrilled to bring Dough downtown and join all the exciting developments throughout Hemisfair,” – Chef Horn, co-owner of Dough.
