Piada Italian Street Food Set to Open at Huebner Oaks in San Antonio This Spring
Fans of fast-casual dining and Italian flavors have something new to look forward to this spring: Piada Italian Street Food is officially bringing its popular handcrafted dishes to San Antonio, with its first location under renovation at Huebner Oaks, located at 11745 I-10 W, Suite 501. The restaurant is scheduled to open in March 2026, following a $500,000 interior buildout of the 3,400-square-foot space.
Known for its fresh, customizable approach to Italian cuisine, Piada has steadily grown a loyal following across the U.S. for its signature piadas—thin, stone-baked Italian wraps filled with grilled meats, vegetables, sauces, and cheese—as well as grain bowls, pasta dishes, and seasonal specials.
This new San Antonio Piada location will mark an exciting expansion for the brand, which first launched in Columbus, Ohio, in 2010, inspired by the roadside food carts of Rimini, Italy. The founders sought to reimagine Italian street food for an American audience, delivering bold flavors with convenience and quality at the forefront. The result has been a fresh take on fast-casual dining, with over 60 restaurants now in multiple states, including Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
The San Antonio restaurant will be one of Piada’s first in the city and is part of a broader push into Texas, where the brand already operates in Houston, Dallas, Frisco, and Plano. The location in Huebner Oaks Center, a busy retail corridor in northwest San Antonio near the Medical Center, is a strategic choice for introducing the concept to local food lovers and on-the-go professionals.
The restaurant's interior renovation—expected to be complete by early March—will transform the space into a modern, welcoming eatery with 3,411 square feet of dining area designed to reflect Piada’s clean, contemporary aesthetic. Guests can expect an open kitchen layout where meals are prepared fresh to order, offering full visibility into the culinary process.
