The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa has opened its newest dining outlet, FIAMME Pizzeria. Offering elevated Neapolitan pizza within the renowned resort, FIAMME Pizzeria is open to the public. Hours of operation are 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Meaning “flames” in Italian, FIAMME Pizzeria serves a selection of Neapolitan pizza, Italian-inspired appetizers, salads and desserts, and the resort’s signature Hill Country Honey Blonde Beer and Desert Door Paloma Preserve along with other beers and cocktails.
“The addition of FIAMME Pizzeria adds elevated, casual dining to the resort’s world class culinary options,” said Sebastian Mena, Director of Food & Beverage at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. “We are thrilled to introduce a new dining option that reflects our commitment to offering guests unparalleled dining experiences that are unique and authentic.”
FIAMME Pizzeria’s menu showcases a selection of Neapolitan pizzas including Margherita, Four Cheese, Garden Harvest, Tuscan Garlic Chicken and Pizza Carnivora, each prepared with fresh ingredients and baked to perfection. A special on the menu is the Texas Hot Honey Pizza with pomodoro, mozzarella, ricotta, coppa, prosciutto, arugula and Texas Hot Honey. Other highlights include a Strawberry Caprese Dip and a Burrata available as starters, and seasonal and traditional salads with two gluten-free options. A delectable assortment of Italian desserts, each made in-house, allows guests to end their delicious meal on a sweet note.
“I am thrilled to introduce guests to FIAMME Pizzeria,” said Christin Day, Sous Chef-Tournant at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. “Through the thoughtful collaboration of our culinary team, we’ve designed an authentic menu with local influences layered with the freshest ingredients -including our own dough made in-house daily. We are confident FIAMME Pizzeria will be a staple dining outlet for the Resort and offers some of the best local Neapolitan pizza in the Hill Country.”
Located on the lower lobby level adjacent to Cibolo Moon, FIAMME Pizzeria provides seating for approximately 25 people, providing guests with options to dine al fresco amidst the resort’s picturesque outdoor areas or take their meal to go.
Neapolitan pizza is a style of pizza created in Naples, Italy, and is traditionally made with simple, fresh ingredients and baked at 900 degrees for up to two minutes creating a light, fluffy crust with a crispy outside layer. FIAMME Pizzeria features a custom Morello Forni dome mosaic pizza oven imported from Italy. The pizza oven is seven feet in diameter with seven-inch-thick walls, weighing over 7,000 pounds. An electric rotating pizza stone is featured in the center of the oven, allowing for the most consistent and authentic product.
