Our family is one of the oldest restaurant families still in business in Central Texas today, serving up homemade cuisine for more than 85 years. Family patriarch Antonio P. Castillo, Sr. started the Castillo’s restaurant legacy when he opened The Aztec Cafe in the early 1930s in downtown Waco.
Antonio and his wife Josephine were blessed with seven children (four sons and three daughters), all of whom were involved in the family business at one time or another.
In 1948, Antonio and his family opened a new restaurant, El Patio, located on 16th Street in Waco. Four years later, classic Italian “Pizza Pie” would be introduced to Waco for the very first time, happily made at the Castillo family’s restaurant!
Based on 61 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.3 stars. Price $$

Definitely one of my favorite pizza places to visit when in town! Nice big slices of pizza, always hot and fresh with good quality ingredients. I make the trip to Waco sometimes just for some slices!

Fair pizza for the price, a bit salty on the pepperoni. $10.99 for the 1 slice combo (see pic). Nice staff with quick service.

Easily the best pizza in Waco if you’re not overly worried about price, and we’ve basically tried them all in the area.
