This place was AMAZING We waited in the lounge and we met Belle who was Awesome The whole thing is an EXPERIENCE The outside has a flying Deloreon that actually lights up at night and music plays We got our food and it was HOT and DELICIOUS That is a lot coming from my CHEF wife who is very picky She said the food was very good. We noticed that the owners were also working the floor and that in and of itself is VERY impressive Highly Recommend this place Will be returning soon for more garlic knots And PIZZA Even the salad was delicious This place ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! Our server Alex was very courteous and can everyone agree that the guy in the photo with people I posted looks like a young Jack White I mean seriously
Great Scott! This place is epic! I'm an 80's kid! This place just took me back in time! A friend recommended this place. It did not disappoint! We were in Awwww of all the memories from Terminator, Back to the future, Flash Dance! To much to describe! Y'all just need to go and check it out! Pizza was good! Service was great! The ambiance is stimulating if you love the 80's! After Dark Bar is a hop skip and away from the restaurant. We chilled there for a while. Was hoping for live music. I'll definitely be coming back with the grandkids!
Fun atmosphere. The pizza was really good. The tomato sauce on the pizza was tasty. Tasted like a homemade sauce. Garlic knots were ok, but they were a tad hard. Hands down to our waitress, I forgot her name but the going up and down those steps to check on us and other customers and all with a smile on her face.
I loved this place! So cool! Great memorabilia that makes this restaurant a one of a kind place to visit. We did not even get to see the whole thing! Can't wait until we go back and check out the upstairs. Now, about the food... Really, really good! We tried the garlic knots and bruschetta appetizers. Our friends had the pizza and we had sandwiches! All good! People here are nice and the full bar rocks. Can't wait to come back! We will likely be in Boerne more.
Our waiter did such a wonderful job. He was so attentive, gave great explanations of menu options, and provided an engaging dining experience. The food was good but thought our pizza would be better honestly. My daughter said the Italian Sub was extremely tasty. The group consensus was the garlic knots and meatballs were the bomb. It's a well themed restaurant but we were moved quickly to the party room in the back because we had 6 children under 5 and 7 adults. If you are in Boerne, it's a cool stop but if you are going to go there specifically.... I have had better pizza elsewhere. Disclaimer: I am a Jersey girl and I am a TOUGH pizza critic.
Local business with great pizza and wonderful family vibes! We made the drive from Fredericksburg and planned for an early dinner around 4 PM on a Saturday. There were several vacant spots inside the restaurant but unfortunately your entire party has to arrive prior to seating despite the vacancies. Amazing decor and memorabilia from Star Wars, ET, Jaws, and lots of 80s/90s classics. They have displays on the top floor seating area as well, including a Yoda fountain outdoors. They also have a Jabba the Hut room! We ordered 4 large pizzas including the brisket, Hawaiian, meat lovers, and white margherita with 2 salads and beverages. This was just enough to feed 8 adults. The owner is very sweet and service was pretty fast despite the delay getting seated.
This fun place feels of 80s memories! I came here at lunch on a Saturday just about 1200. There was parking and also seating! When we walked in I saw Luke Skywalker, Yoda and so many fun things that brought back all the memories. From toys to movie memorabilia there were tons of things to look at!! We started with the garlic knots, the order had 4 and marinara sauce. They were very tasty. Personally, I would have used half of the dough and given 8 instead to have more of the yummy garlic sauce!! The pizza we got were 2- 12 inch pizzas. It fed all 4 of us and we didnt have left overs. We got a BBQ chicken (unfortunately they were out of brisket), and Hawaiian. Both pizzas were tasty, full of amazing flavors amd I enjoyed them. The oven is a brick oven they were baked in and you could taste the wood fire flavors! The wait staff was very nice and we got beverage refills quickly. They did suggest dessert, and the dessert we wanted was the spaghetti, but per the waitress who had been here for about 6 months she said, the machine is not working. So, overall 5 stars, I could have removed one for no brisket and for not getting the dessert we wanted, but the atmosphere would not let me remove a star. So, there is that...lol It was fun and for special occasions I can see coming back. We live about 4t minutes away, so we had to make a special drive out and I would do it again!!
The ambiance is amazing. With real props and some replicas from the movies of our childhood, this place's atmosphere rocks. We started out with some appetizers, a caprese salad and the meatball skillet. My wife really enjoyed the caprese salad and commented that it was the perfect amount of salt and pepper. I give the meatball skillet a 4/5 but I'm a harsh meatball critic having had the best ones in the world in Vilnius, Lithuania. So yes I would recommend you order one before moving onto the pizza. For pizza, we chose to do a half and half (meat lovers and white margarita). The wood fired thin crust was great, no complaints! No issues with the service either, the waitstaff was helpful and engaging. My only complaints were they gave our drinks in disposable plastic cups, pizza was served on disposable plates, and they charge .50 cents for water. Also, I think the menu could benefit from offering some additional main courses aside from pizza and calzones. Afterwards we walked over to the Dark Side, After Dark lounge and was really impressed with the decor. The entire small bar is a set out of the movie Predator. From the Predator himself, to a Huey helicopter body hanging from the ceiling, this place was awesome!!
My family are star wars fans and the era they focus on is one of the best. 80's movies, toys & games. The place is filled with nostalgia and I love it. Its like eating at an 80s museum. As you walk through the restaurant to be seated, you are taken back in time. The place has seating everywhere. There is even a little upstairs area where we were seated. They only have 2 single bathrooms, so plan accordingly lol. The service was done with a smile and the food was brought out fresh hot and tasted delicious. We got two pizzas, pizza rolls, garlic knows and a dark side macadamia white chocolate cookie that we shared for dessert. They are working on a After-dark lounge behind the restaurant to be opened soon. Will go back to boerne just to check that out as well. This place was an hour out for us but worth the experience and the food didn't disappoint.
Came here because my wife saw it on Texas Eats. Love the atmosphere of the 80's. For a drink I ordered Yuengling beer, we ordered the Bruchetta as a starter. Very light and delicious with 5 pieces of Bruchetta. We ordered the large BBQ Brisket pizza substituting the onions for black olives. The pizza was thin crust,with a nice char on the bottom. Very delicious. This would be a 7.8 to 8.1 on Dave Portnoy's scale. The staff was great and the food was very delicious. Oh, we also ordered a scoop of ice cream for dessert .
Ventured out today to try this place w/friends. It's been open 2 years but was our first time out. Tried quite a few items- We loved the garlic knots and pizza. Only downside- the little room they sat us in- we must've fought off 100 gnats (no exaggeration) during our time there. The waitress saw us doing this the whole time and said "yeah sorry we have a problem at the bar and they tend to migrate to this room." So while the food was very good, not sure we want to be killing gnats with our hands the entire dinner.
100% recommend!! The pizza was amazing (spoken from someone who grew up in NY and went to college in New Haven). Also they have their own wine which was also very good. The decor is one of a kind. I could have spent hours looking at everything! The staff was very nice, the owner is a great guy! We got a sneak peek at the bar behind the main restaurant even tho it wasn't open for the day yet and the predator vibe is fantastic. All in all, loved the experience and will go back next time we're in town.
Went out and enjoyed some pizza and pepperoni rolls with my son. It is a little off the beaten path but it is a fun place with lots of 80s movie decor. Staff was friendly and the pepperoni rolls were fantastic. The pizza was good.

Finally checked out Dark Side Brick Oven Pizza on a Saturday around 7 PM, and we waited less than 5 minutes even though it was pretty busy! It looked like a lot of people had just left after the game. If you grew up in the '80s and love '80s movies, this place is such a fun spot! We loved the vibe, and the pizza came out pretty quickly. We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza ($23 for a 12-inch) and the meat lovers ($25 for a 12-inch). Both were delicious, and we loved that the dough was homemade. It had a nice thin-crust feel but still had some chew to it. My only complaint is that I wish there were more toppings, especially for the price. You'd expect a little more chicken on the BBQ pizza and more meat on the meat lovers. We also got a full Caesar salad, which was good but nothing too special. I ordered a sangria, and it was okay. I just wish it had more fruit in it! Overall, we had a good experience. The owner was super nice, and the staff was attentive and friendly. We'd definitely consider coming back for the pizza and fun atmosphere! read more

Atmosphere 5/5 Food 5/5 Service 4/5 Pizza is super good. Crust is crispy and soft. Meatball sub bread is delicious and soft! Salads were fresh and good. Food came out super fast and hot. Service...meh. Polite, but drink lids had a ton of soda on top, us idiots didn't realize and spilled it on ourselves. Used plates dishes weren't removed from the tiny tables until you asked. Not very attentive. Little things like that. Would DEFINITELY come back! Food and atmosphere were awesome. read more

Are here for the first time. The movie memorabilia is great if you're a product of the 80's. The pizza was good and I would definitely go back for it. Garrett was friendly and efficient. I did get super frustrated, though. I wanted a pizza that was 1/2 pepperoni and jalapeño and the other have was beef and tomato. They wanted to charge me for four full toppings instead of either four half toppings or two full toppings. Will definitely go back! read more

Saturday night the family was craving pizza for dinner, so I ordered takeout. By the time we got home, my boys had already finished their slices almost immediately. Unfortunately, the pizza had a very large crust, which meant there wasn't much sauce or cheese covering the actual pizza. Most of the slice felt like bread rather than pizza. I was pretty disappointed because my boys ended up eating more crust than actual pizza, and I still had to find something else to feed them afterward. When I went in to pick up the order, the service was also slow. No one was up front to help with takeout, and I had to wave down the guy working the oven even though he saw me standing there. Bergheim Pizza is actually closer to me, but I wanted to give this place a shot. I think I'll be sticking with Bergheim Pizza next time. read more

This place is definitely worth the drive to check out the 80's decor here. I enjoyed my pepperoni rolls and bruschetta. I wasn't a fan of the brisket pizza but the rest of the food was good. I can at least say I tried it and it's not for me. I'm sure the other pizzas are delicious. I will say we were the first customers there and the service was great. read more

Finally, a bar and restaurant seemingly made just for me! Sure, it may give off Planet Hollywood vibes, but it has much better food and a way more personable collection of memorabilia. I'm sure I'm not the only one who could spend hours looking around this pop culture shrine. We had the charcuterie board and built a spicy pizza (and it actually was spicy!). Both were great. They offer a good selection of wines and beers, including restaurant-branded wines. It's been getting attention on X and TikTok for its adjacent Predator-themed bar (which is fantastic in its own right), but it has so much more to offer. There was about a 40 minute wait for a table on a Saturday night, but we just went to the Predator-themed bar to easily pass that time. Our service was good at both venues. If you love 70s/80s/90s pop culture, this place is for you. It's seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but the packed house clearly shows people are willing to make the journey. Don't miss it if you're visiting San Antonio or live nearby. read more

We visited on the way back to Houston after a camping trip and were passing through San Antonio. Decided to incorporate it into our trip after seeing it hyped on instagram many times. Vibes were great, we sat quickly due to lots of seating and the memorabilia was quite cool. The pizza however, was not great and we were served on styrofoam plates and cups were plastic. Value for money was not there, especially being from out of town. read more

This is just a fun place, especially if you grew up in the 80's!! And it's just not Star Wars memories, it's Back to the Future, ET, and many others. The service is great and the owner Michael is just awesome! The pizza is really great too! It's nice to have a good restaurant in Boerne, because they are rare! read more

The nostalgia in this place is incredible. As a Gen Xer, it was awesome to see toys I grew up with displayed on the walls. The amount of genuine movie memorabilia is the most I have ever seen in a restaurant. It's everywhere, but not overwhelming, and it's been thoughtfully curated. It's not just Star Wars memorabilia; there's a lot of classic '80s and even '70s items, creating an atmosphere that feels fun and familiar. The food was good, and the brick oven is beautiful, but the timing was a bit off. I ordered two pizzas at the same time. One arrived about forty minutes after ordering, which is already a long wait. The second came about twenty-five minutes later. By then, my wife had finished eating, and I didn't want to make her sit there for another half hour, so I asked for the boxes right away. I suspect the long wait is due to having only one oven. It looks fantastic, but the volume of business likely calls for a larger or second oven, as the delay was quite noticeable. The service was okay, but not great. My server came by when I didn't need anything, but vanished when I did. This made everything feel slower than it needed to, especially when I was trying to get the bill or a box. On a positive note, I checked out the bar in the back, and the Predator theme is fantastic. However, I was surprised that there were no Predator-themed cocktails available on opening weekend. I ended up pulling up ChatGPT for some recipes, and the bartender made them, which was fun, but it would have been nice if the bar had some themed drinks ready to go. If you love nostalgia, this place is worth a visit. The atmosphere is outstanding. My advice is to order everything at once, appetizers, pizzas, and even ask for boxes in advance, since you will likely take food home. Also, request the check when you order to avoid waiting for it later, as the service can be slow. I hope these issues get resolved, because the restaurant has a lot of potential, and I plan to return with friends to enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Went on a Saturday. Pizza was great. We had the 12" pepperoni CYO traditional. The cheese on it was perfect and the crust was just right. Service was not the best at first, but it was a busy day so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I do plan to come again because that cheese is worth the 50 min drive. All the cool memorabilia they have throughout was fun to look at. Definitely great photo ops. I think my only disappointment is it appears much bigger in videos I've seen on social media, the space felt somewhat claustrophobic. The wait time was not bad either for a busy Saturday. 20 min wait for table, or immediately at bar. read more
