The story

Founded in 2014 by two engineers with no restaurant background, Mattenga's Pizzeria scaled from a single acquired shop to a multi-location regional brand in San Antonio and surrounding Texas communities. The owners applied an engineering mindset to systematize operations as they expanded to eight locations. A notable digital transformation came through adopting Owner.com for on-domain ordering, which materially improved Google search visibility and average check size. The company operates as a privately held, family-owned restaurant group with no disclosed external funding.
