Craving craft pizza? Make plans to visit Pinthouse Pizza, a new location for the local chain that is less than two miles from Lamar Union.

This delicious pizza spot offers classic, specialty, and build-you-own pizzas. Classic pies include pepperoni and basil, classic cheese, and margherita. Specialty pies include the works (Canadian bacon, sausage, red onions, green peppers, mushroom, and pepperoni), the Milano (artichokes, olives, prosciutto, and cheese) and the Hill Country (cheese, bacon, spinach, mushrooms, ricotta). An assortment of toppings, like mushrooms, garlic, jalapenos, chicken, crumbled sausage, spinach, and mozzarella, are available for build-your-own pizzas.

In addition to pizza, Pinthouse’s menu also promises an assortment of classic salads, nachos, pretzels, and desserts.

Pinthouse isn’t only a pizzeria, it's also a brewery. Guests can sip award-winning beers of all sorts that are made especially for the restaurant.

Pizza and beer go together like two peas in a pod, so make plans to visit Pinthouse soon!

Mas Vino, or "more wine," sounds like a good idea, right? Then you might want to consider visiting the fairly new restaurant a visit — it’s only two miles from Lamar Union. This place opened its doors in August and specializes in wine and tapas.

It serves affordable wine of all sorts — red, white, sangria, and sparkling in a sleek and modern space. Wine fans will love the generous pours as well as the variety. Those who aren’t interested in wine can look to a menu of beer and cocktails, too; Mas Vino has a full bar. As you sip, look over the selection of small plates to pair with the wine

Often, live music adds to the atmosphere. Mas Vino is calling your name for girl’s night out or date night. Cheers!
