SAN ANTONIO – The Alamo City is known for many foods -- Tex Mex, BBQ, breakfast tacos, and more, but according to a recently-published survey, pizza is not its strong suit.

Clever Real Estate, which posted the survey data on Feb. 27, said San Antonio was named the worst city for pizza due to its high prices and online search activity showing “very little interest.”
