We’re fired up to announce the grand opening of our brand-new Pizza Patrón restaurant on North Lamar and Rundberg, right in the heart of Austin, Texas!

Pizza Patrón is bringing back the love — and the slices — with another round of its “Pizza with a Purpose” initiative in partnership with the Alamo Colleges Foundation. After a wildly successful first event that saw a 36% increase in transactions, Pizza Patrón is once again putting community first.

Pizza Patrón is stepping into a bold new chapter with the appointment of its first Chief Operations Officer, Guy Carney — former Director of Restaurant Openings at CAVA. Based at their San Antonio headquarters, Carney will help guide the company’s expansion strategy as it grows its presence across Texas and Arizona. With 82 locations already thriving, Pizza Patrón is gearing up to sign deals for 160 more in the next five years.

San Antonio’s Pizza Boss is turning 20 — and they’re throwing a celebration as bold as their Latin-inspired pies! On Saturday, October 28th, Pizza Patrón invites the entire community to the Fredericksburg Rd location for a family-friendly fiesta packed with flavor, fun, and local pride.

Get ready for a flavor explosion! Pizza Patrón and Tajín® have teamed up to deliver a bold, mouthwatering wing experience with their one-of-a-kind Tajín Wings — a fusion of chili, lime, and sea salt that’s been spicing things up since early 2023. Just in time for National Chicken Wing Day, San Antonio fans can celebrate with a special treat: a free mini Tajín Clásico Seasoning with every Tajín Wings order, while supplies last.

Pizza Patrón is serving up more than just delicious slices — it’s dishing out support for San Antonio’s college students. On Wednesday, May 17, all San Antonio locations of Pizza Patrón will donate 20% of their sales to the Alamo Colleges Foundation’s Student Impact Fund. This one-day event helps provide emergency financial aid so students can stay in school and complete their degrees.

Get ready, downtown San Antonio — real fresh and real flavor have officially arrived! Pizza Patrón, known for its bold Latin-inspired pies and classic pizza favorites, has opened its first downtown location on San Pedro Avenue.

This World Pizza Makers Day, Pizza Patrón in Kyle is serving up more than just slices — they're serving gratitude.
