Fralo's Fine Fresh Italian celebrated its 21st anniversary in May 2025, making it one of the longest-running neighborhood restaurants near The Dominion. This family-owned pizzeria sits at the edge of Leon Springs, about a five-minute drive from the guard-gated community's main entrance. Frank and Lori Hakspiel have operated the restaurant since 2004, building a loyal following among San Antonio families who appreciate hand-tossed pizza and a casual atmosphere.
The restaurant has collected consistent recognition over its two decades in Northwest San Antonio. Fralo's earned San Antonio Express-News People's Choice Best New Restaurant in 2005 and picked up WOAI City's Best Pizza in 2011. Multiple Citysearch Best Pizza awards followed between 2006 and 2010. The Express-News also named it Best Neighborhood Restaurant in both 2008 and 2009 through reader and critic voting.
Fralo's operates with a wood-fired oven and offers dine-in, pickup, and take-and-bake options. The outdoor patio seats guests under live oak trees, creating a Hill Country setting that works well for families. Dogs are welcome on the patio. Live music runs regularly, with local performers like Chris Ray, David Selbo, and The Rusty Nails rotating through the schedule on weekends.
For residents of The Dominion, Fralo's fills a specific niche. It provides a casual alternative to the upscale dining options without sacrificing quality. The take-and-bake option appeals to busy households who want fresh pizza ready for their own oven.
Todd Worrich, who lives in The Dominion and serves on the HOA Board, has watched Leon Springs maintain its character even as luxury real estate San Antonio development has expanded north along IH-10. Neighborhood spots like Fralo's contribute to what makes this part of guard-gated San Antonio appealing beyond the gates themselves.
