Cibolo just got a major flavor upgrade — and another reason for residents to stay local. 

Crust Pizza Co., a Texas-based franchise known for its Chicago-style thin crust and laid-back neighborhood vibe, has officially opened its newest restaurant at 813 Cibolo Valley Drive. The 3,050-square-foot space delivers more than pizza; it’s bringing people together through food, fun, and community connection. 

Opening weekend festivities included free pizza-for-a-year giveaways, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities, marking the restaurant’s arrival as both a dining destination and a community anchor. 

As Cibolo continues to rank among the fastest-growing suburbs of San Antonio, Crust Pizza Co.’s debut is more than a culinary milestone — it’s a reflection of the area’s accelerating housing growth, retail expansion, and lifestyle evolution across northeast Bexar and Guadalupe counties. 

The News: Crust Pizza Co. Officially Opens in Cibolo 

According to MySanAntonio.com, the new Crust Pizza Co. blends the charm of a neighborhood eatery with modern design and family-friendly appeal. 

Guests can expect a robust menu featuring: 

• Handcrafted thin-crust pizzas made with locally sourced ingredients 

• Gourmet pasta dishes and fresh salads 

• Signature desserts and craft beverages 

• Indoor and patio seating designed for family gatherings and casual nights out 

The restaurant’s arrival aligns with Cibolo’s growing identity as a regional hub for new restaurants, retail, and master-planned communities. Located off FM 1103 and Cibolo Valley Drive, the corridor has seen rapid commercial growth in recent years — anchored by nearby favorites like H-E-B, Santikos Cibolo, and local cafés that have helped define the suburb’s emerging culinary scene. 

For Crust Pizza Co., the expansion reinforces its commitment to Texas growth. The company, founded in The Woodlands, continues to target fast-growing, family-oriented suburbs that value both quality dining and community connection. 

Why This Matters for Cibolo and Northeast San Antonio 

Cibolo has quickly evolved from a quiet community into one of Greater San Antonio’s premier residential and commercial hotspots. With excellent schools, expanding job opportunities, and new retail corridors, it’s no surprise that both families and developers are taking notice. 

A City on the Rise 

• Population Growth: Cibolo has more than doubled its population since 2010, now exceeding 35,000 residents (U.S. Census, 2025). 

• Education: Students attend the highly rated Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD (SCUCISD), a major draw for relocating families. 

• Commute Access: Located minutes from I-35, residents enjoy easy access to San Antonio, New Braunfels, and Randolph Air Force Base. 

• Lifestyle Expansion: The city continues to invest in parks, recreation, and infrastructure to keep pace with residential development. 

“Every time a high-quality local restaurant opens in an emerging suburb like Cibolo, it signals confidence in the area’s growth and community investment,” says Tami Price, Realtor®. 
“Dining, shopping, and schools are the first signs of a city maturing — and that translates directly into long-term property value.” 

This type of commercial growth mirrors trends seen in Boerne, Schertz, and Helotes years ago — where early retail investments set the stage for substantial real estate appreciation. 

Real Estate Impact: When Pizza Meets Property Value 

Restaurants might seem like a small factor in the real estate equation, but lifestyle amenities often make or break a buyer’s decision — especially in suburban markets where convenience matters. 

For Homeowners 

• Proximity to new dining, retail, and entertainment strengthens neighborhood appeal. 

• Properties within 1–3 miles of major lifestyle amenities often experience higher resale interest and lower average Days on Market (DOM). 

• Increased foot traffic and community engagement can drive city-led infrastructure improvements, such as sidewalks and lighting. 

For Buyers 

• The area surrounding Cibolo Valley Drive and FM 1103 is one of the most active homebuilding corridors in northeast San Antonio. 

• Builders such as Perry Homes, Highland Homes, and Chesmar Homes continue to add inventory, appealing to military families relocating through Randolph AFB PCS programs and commuters seeking affordable new construction. 

• Buyers value proximity to modern retail and restaurants — which adds convenience and lifestyle value, even for first-time homeowners. 

For Sellers 

• Sellers can leverage proximity to amenities like Crust Pizza Co., H-E-B, and Santikos Cibolo in their marketing. 

• According to SABOR data, homes near high-quality retail developments in northeast San Antonio typically sell 8–12% faster than those farther away from amenities. 

• As Cibolo continues to expand, sellers positioned in established neighborhoods such as Turning Stone, Cibolo Ridge, and Steele Crossing can expect sustained buyer demand.

Expert Insight from Tami Price, Realtor® 

“Lifestyle growth follows housing growth,” explains Tami Price, Realtor®. 
“When you see restaurants like Crust Pizza Co. move into your community, it’s not just about food — it’s about job creation, tax revenue, and overall livability. For Cibolo, this means even more long-term stability for both homeowners and investors.” 

Tami also notes that lifestyle-driven real estate has become one of the most influential factors in buyer decision-making. Families relocating to the San Antonio metro often prioritize neighborhoods with strong school districts and nearby shopping or dining. 

The Bigger Picture: Why Retail Follows Rooftops 

Cibolo’s growth pattern mirrors what industry experts call “retail following rooftops.” 

As residential construction booms, retailers and restaurants follow to meet the needs of new residents — validating the area’s economic potential. 

According to the Texas Real Estate Research Center, cities along the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin are expected to add more than 100,000 new residents by 2030, driving continued retail and housing expansion. 

For Cibolo, this means the addition of establishments like Crust Pizza Co. represents a signal of long-term sustainability, not just short-term excitement. 

Community Connection: Why It Matters 

Beyond real estate, local eateries like Crust Pizza Co. serve as modern “town squares” — places where neighbors meet, families celebrate, and community culture thrives. 

For a suburb like Cibolo, this type of engagement plays a major role in creating identity and cohesion. 
Residents no longer need to drive to San Antonio or New Braunfels for quality dining experiences, which keeps local dollars circulating within the community. 

Practical Takeaways 

For Homebuyers 

• Explore neighborhoods along Cibolo Valley Drive for access to new retail and reduced commute times. 

• Prioritize communities zoned to SCUCISD, as these retain strong resale value. 

• Ask your Realtor about upcoming builder incentives tied to Cibolo’s growth surge. 

For Homeowners 

• Expect steady appreciation as amenities multiply. 

• Track local city updates on road and infrastructure improvements around FM 1103 and Main Street — these upgrades often signal continued demand. 

For Sellers 

• Mention “walkability to restaurants and shops” in listings when applicable. 

• Showcase proximity to local attractions in marketing copy and social media campaigns — lifestyle sells. 

The Bottom Line

The opening of Crust Pizza Co. in Cibolo is more than another restaurant ribbon-cutting — it’s a milestone in the suburb’s growth story. 

As families flock to northeast San Antonio for space, schools, and quality of life, lifestyle amenities like this confirm what locals already know: Cibolo is thriving. With every new business, park, and community event, the area strengthens its foundation for long-term livability and investment potential.
