Round Table Pizza Closes San Antonio Location After Less than a Year
San Antonio, Texas – In a recent development in the local dining landscape, Round Table Pizza has closed its location at 11040 I-10 near Huebner Road, just months after opening its doors in 2025. A sign posted on the restaurant’s door directed patrons to their other outlet at the nearby 410 & Blanco, but attempts to reach the restaurant for more information proved unsuccessful. With the property now listed for lease, this marks another shift in the competitive San Antonio food scene.
Interestingly, the I-10 location replaced Bei Fang, a locally cherished Chinese restaurant that ceased operations in 2024. Round Table Pizza initially launched its first San Antonio location in September 2022, signaling their entry into this vibrant market. Currently, the chain continues to operate two other establishments in the city, one at Park North Shopping Center and another off Highway 281.
Impact of Restaurant Closures on the San Antonio Economy
The closure of the I-10 Round Table Pizza sheds light on a wider trend of restaurant closures across San Antonio. Recently, Pizza Hut announced plans to shutter 250 underperforming locations nationwide by mid-2026, which may impact several of its 57 San Antonio restaurants. The factors contributing to these decisions often include changing consumer preferences, stiff competition, and, in some cases, elevated operational costs that can challenge small businesses.
Emerging Dining Options in San Antonio
Despite the challenging landscape marked by closures, new dining options are sprouting in the city. A prime example is Pepperoni’s Pizza, a Houston-based chain that will be opening its first San Antonio location at Bulverde Crossing soon. Known for their New York-style pies, Pepperoni’s promises to provide residents with an appealing alternative for pizza, wings, and salads, reinforcing the idea of growth and innovation in the local culinary market.
Community Resilience and Adaptation
Local entrepreneurs are known for their tenacity and creativity, developing strategies to adapt and overcome challenges. Round Table Pizza’s introduction to San Antonio signals not only the aspirations of national franchises but also reflects the resilience of local food culture. As businesses like Round Table and Pepperoni’s enter the scene, the possibility for economic expansion and job creation remains robust.
Looking Ahead: Future Plans for Round Table Pizza
Round Table Pizza has plans to continue its operations in San Antonio, with a new location slated to open at 23522 Wilderness Oak near Stone Oak, projected for early 2026. This expansion showcases the chain’s commitment to finding a foothold in this vibrant city, indicating confidence in the local economy.
Conclusion
The closure of the Round Table Pizza I-10 location serves as a reminder that the San Antonio dining scene is ever-evolving, marked by both challenges and opportunities. As local businesses continue to adapt and new establishments emerge, the strength of the San Antonio economy remains intact. Residents are encouraged to support local businesses to facilitate sustained growth and innovation in the community.
