Project underway for the addition of a new Neapolitan pizza restaurant, FIAMME Pizzeria, at the Resort
SAN ANTONIO – March 21, 2024 – A million-dollar enhancement project to
add a new dining outlet at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort &
Spa [1] is currently underway. The Resort will be expanding their
culinary offerings with the addition of FIAMME Pizzeria, a new dining
outlet offering an elevated pizza experience. Scheduled to open early
Summer 2024, FIAMME, which means “flames” in Italian, will serve
Neapolitan pizza and accompaniments such as appetizers, salads,
desserts, unique cocktails, and the resort’s signature Hill Country
Honey Blonde Beer.
FIAMME (pronounced fi-amme) Pizzeria will be on the lower lobby level
adjacent to the resort’s main dining restaurant, Cibolo Moon. This new
venue will offer guests the opportunity to take their meal and dine al
fresco among the resort’s multitude of beautiful outdoor areas. There
will be seating inside the restaurant for approximately 25 people.
“We can’t wait to introduce FIAMME Pizzeria as a new and unique
dining option for guests,” says Adam Tyler, Director of Food &
Beverage at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. “Our
Resort offers stunning views of the Texas Hill Country, so the addition
of an elevated, casual dining experience providing guests the option to
order delicious Italian cuisine to go was important to us. We want our
guests to fully enjoy the Resort’s views and beautiful outdoor spaces
while enjoying the diverse culinary offerings we’re known for.”
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 will feature a Morello Forni dome
mosaic pizza oven that has been 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 will be featured in the center
of the oven, allowing for the most consistent and authentic product.
“The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is known for
its unique, award-winning culinary offerings, and the addition of FIAMME
Pizzeria will further enhance the guest experience,” said Mark
Fioravanti, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ryman Hospitality
Properties, Inc. “FIAMME Pizzeria will continue the resort’s
tradition of offering excellent cuisine that appeals to guests of all
ages. It will also provide an opportunity for guests to enjoy a
delicious meal in their favorite outdoor spaces.”
JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is known for its
exceptional service and world-class dining offerings. FIAMME Pizzeria
will join the seven existing dining outlets which include Cibolo Moon,
serving creative Mexican cuisine among a diverse tequila selection; 18
Oaks, the resort’s upscale fine dining steakhouse; High Velocity, the
expansive sports bar and restaurant with a 120-foot-long HD video wall
and a Topgolf Swing Suite; Crooked Branch, the acclaimed lobby bar and
restaurant serving Asian-inspired tapas dishes with a Texas twist;
Rivertop Grill, an outdoor restaurant within River Bluff Water
Experience; Replenish Spa Bistro, a relaxed restaurant with
health-conscious dishes within Lantana Spa; the resort’s food trailer,
Nourish; and an on-site Starbucks.
