This cute and quaint pizzeria definitely not only serves extraordinary thin-crust pizza, but also has a distinct, hipster vibe, as well as a fully-stocked bar.
Although it seems like a strange combination, try their hash brown pizza! While it's well worth the wait, the time to receive your pizza can be extensive. Check out their website for some of their daily deals. They have a small parking lot, so you will likely have to street park.

Paramour's roof-top bar is everything. With nothing like it in San Antonio, this bar gives you an aerial view of San Antonio.
Parking can sometimes be issue, as Paramour is situated atop a building with no garage parking. While signs will direct you to the bar, you will have to "L" off into the building's entrance to the elevators that take you to the roof-top bar. The bar serves brunch, food, and coffee (which explains the early hours).

Sightseeing
Anyone that knows San Antonio knows the phrase, "Remember the Alamo." This is a-must in San Antonio. During the Texas Revolution of 1836, thousands of Mexican forces outnumbered the Alamo’s 200 Texan defenders. Yet these courageous 200 Texan defenders endured for 13 days before the Mexican invaders succeeded. The Alamo symbolizes heroic resistance to oppression and independence.
