Fast-casual Italian chain Piada Italian Street Food will make its San Antonio-area debut with two locations this spring.

The two stores now in the works are at 11745 I-10 West #501 in the Huebner Oaks Center and 18430 I-35 North in Scherz Station, state regulatory filings show.  

Known for its eponymous Italian wraps, Columbus, Ohio-based Piada offers a variety of hand-rolled sandwiches baked on a stone grill. The flavor options range from a BLT with hot or crispy chicken’; avocado with pancetta, arugula, mozzarella, and basil aioli; a veggie option; and a Chef’s Favorite with spicy diavolo sauce, mozzarella, sweet peppers and spicy ranch. 

Beyond the wraps, the chain keeps it simple with the remainder of its menu. Think marinara pasta, carbonara, basil pesto pasta and classic Italian salads. The chain also introduced pocket sandos and brought back its take on macaroni and cheese for a limited time. 

Founded in 2010, the concept was inspired by founder Chris Doody’s travels to Rimini, an Italian seaside community. Piada has since opened more than 60 stores nationwide, including multiple Texas locations.

Construction on the Huebner Oaks Center location is slated to wrap up this March, while the Schertz Station location is gearing up for an opening day as of publication. Company officials haven’t revealed a grand opening date for either.

Those keen on being among the first to try Piada can RSVP online to the stores’ invite-only VIP preview.
