Mario’s Seawall has a great atmosphere and delicious food, but unfortunately, my experience as a celiac girlie wasn’t the best. While they do offer gluten-free options, I ended up getting glutened, which was really disappointing. The flavors were amazing, and I wish I could confidently return, but if you have celiac or a severe gluten intolerance, I’d recommend being extra cautious and double-checking with the staff.

Took FOREVER. We got the wrong pizza & had to figure out ourselves whose it actually was. The pizza was so burnt & dry. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The gluten-free pizza was good but the other pizza took another 50 mins to come out so my family couldn’t eat together. My mom had to go ask about our pizza and then they finally brought it out.
Grab yourself a slice of Galveston Paradise at Papa’s Pizza!
My recent visit to Papa’s Pizza in Galveston was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly smiles and a lively atmosphere that truly captures the spirit of this beautiful island. These folks know how to work hard and have a good time while they do it.
Of course, the pizza itself was the star of the show. We got the Gluten-Free Philly Cheese Steak Pizza.. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and you could tell that high-quality ingredients are a priority. The Papa’s team made sure our order was correct and that we had all of the sauces and condiments we needed.
But what truly made this experience exceptional was the outstanding service. I want to give a special shoutout to three amazing staff members who went above and beyond:
Isabelle greeted me with such genuine enthusiasm and made me feel right at home. She helped me pay at the counter and was very kind and thorough. James gave me my pizza, and he had a few laughs about my order. The team thought that we had ordered a gluten-free Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which would be a pretty hilarious order at a pizza shop.Tony took our order over the phone and was exceptionally courteous. He made sure that our order went through even though we ordered really late. The combination of delicious pizza, a vibrant atmosphere, and exceptional service from Isabelle, James, and Tony makes Papa’s Pizza a must-visit in Galveston. I can’t wait to come back for another slice (or two!) of paradise!
There is a non handicap dark black car that ALWAYS parks in the one handicap spot next to the ramp where you can't even access it. Nobody has done anything about it for months, so assuming it is a worker. Makes it near impossible to get my wheelchair to the Papa John's. It's literally the only complaint I have about this place.
***There gluten free pizza is the best one yet and super safe as long as you click the clean cut option.
Celiac friendly
