"Run by co-owners Christopher Stephens and Rachel Collins Stephens, Prometheus Pizza grew from cooking pies at home in January 2020 into a food truck (currently parked at 1180 US 87 South) and is opening a downtown Fredericksburg restaurant at 108 South Lincoln Street, Suite 300 in the spring of 2024. They serve red- and white-sauce wood-fired Neapolitan–New York–style pizza made with flour from Barton Springs Mill, with fun, punny pies like the Breakfast of Champions (boar chorizo, potatoes, cured egg yolks), Hestia Goes to Hawaii (pineapple, pancetta, pickled jalapeños), and CALL: 1-800-420-SHRM (shiitake mushrooms, dehydrated mushroom dust, pecan-pesto cream). The available menu also includes salads such as a Caesar, snacks like marinated olives, and desserts including brownies, peanut butter and jelly cookies, and lemon buckwheat tarts; the forthcoming brick-and-mortar will expand to hot and cold sandwiches, house-made pastas, and other entrees and will offer breakfast with coffee and pastries from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., then lunch and dinner daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Christopher’s résumé includes roles on opening teams and management at restaurants like Sway, Odd Duck, Emmer & Rye, Otto’s, Tubby’s Ice House, and Geronimo, and Prometheus has been popping up across the state at spots such as Nice n Easy, Little Death, Marfa Wine Co., Southold Farm & Cellars, the Commodore Perry Estate, and Roam, with planned pop-ups at LoLo and Hotel San Jose in January 2024." - Nadia Chaudhury
