Buzzy fast-casual chain Piada Italian Street Food will soon make its San Antonio-area debut with two new restaurants. The growing brand, known for its unique wrap-type sandwiches, is opening outposts at 11745 I-10 W #501 in the Huebner Oaks Center and 18430 I-35 N in Scherz Station in early 2026.Pia
