  4. According to 50 Top Pizza Italian rating guide, Southtown's Il Forno located at 122 Nogalitos St. is "one of the best pizzerias in the United States," with a ranking of No. 32 on the list. The venue is "known for its cozy digs, local ingredients and the bubbly pies from its handcrafted oven." 50 Top Pizza guide representatives said, "The wood-fired oven is used for baking the pizzas, and great care is taken in the choice of the raw ingredients, which are all local, even the mozzarella and the ricotta. The homemade cold cuts are full of genuine flavor, it is really worth your while." (San Antonio Current)
  5. Something new is brewing in the near future on the west side of San Antonio! Another Dutch Bros. Coffee location will be opening at 14320 Potranco Road sometime in March 2023. Once open, it will feature "walk-up and drive-thru windows with stacked drive thru lanes" to place your orders, but as with all other Dutch Bros. locations, they will not offer dine-in service.
