Dark Side Brick Oven Pizza Co. has a target for its first San Antonio location, but no announced address. Owner Michael Hawes expects to open the second restaurant by March 2027 in a new strip mall, CultureMap San Antonio reported. The exact shopping center and opening-day details have not been disclosed.
The new location is planned as an adaptation, not a replica of the Boerne flagship. Hawes told CultureMap San Antonio that it will include some of the original’s 1980s collectibles. Custom pieces are also being made for the space, though their form has not been specified. The menu and seating capacity remain unannounced.
A local comparison, not a blueprint
A Boerne restaurant opening a second location in the San Antonio area would have a local precedent: Sunny’s, a Boerne brunch restaurant, opened a second restaurant at 17623 La Cantera Pkwy on June 15, CultureMap San Antonio reported. The comparison is limited: Sunny’s is a different concept at a disclosed address, and its opening does not establish where Dark Side will locate or how its plans will unfold.
Dark Side has also added to its Boerne operation: the themed bar Darkside After Dark opened there on November 13, 2025, Community Impact reported. That is an earlier addition at the original property, not a preview of what the San Antonio restaurant will offer. For now, March 2027 remains an expected target rather than a confirmed opening date.
