An unbeatable pizza deal is making waves across the greater San Antonio area for a simple reason that’s getting harder to ignore in today’s economy: a full lunch for under $12.
At Bootleggers Pizza Parlor in the Hill Country town of New Braunfels, a weekday special with two slices of pizza, a fresh salad and a drink runs for less than $12, a price point that is turning the midday rush into something of a steady draw in the downtown area. The deal runs from opening until about 4 p.m. on weekdays and gives customers a choice between classic cheese or pepperoni slices or a rotating specialty slice that changes daily, with Tuesdays featuring a Supreme loaded with toppings.
Inside the Prohibition-themed space, Bootleggers mixes a casual bar atmosphere with billiards, draft beer on tap and a laid-back dining room that feels more neighborhood hangout than tourist stop, even as it sits just steps from downtown traffic and river-bound visitors.
Since opening in 2019, the restaurant has become part of the downtown fabric, but the lunch special is now pushing it back into conversation as prices climb across the San Antonio metro and surrounding Hill Country corridor, where fast-casual meals often land well above the $12 mark before tax and tip.
