kbates2 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Frank's is very good. I have had Piola twice with one hit and one miss. Pizza le Vino is a new delivery place that will deliver you wine as well. I have had it about 4 times and it was pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 star pizza - always is - always has been - always will be, the best pizza in houston! I disagree. The crust is usually soggy, and bland, plus there's no crispiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativehoustonion Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I like Piola if you like thin crust. Those Little Ceasers' commercials make me sick! I cannot believe people would eat that pizza that would stop your heart! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What's the best take out? I mean, there's gourmet and there's takeout, but surely Houston has more than just the usual suspects (Papa John's, Domino's, Little Caesars, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmil Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 For overall best, it has to be Star Pizza at either location. For the Spring-Klein area it is Pizza Zone on Kuykendahl near Cypresswood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barracuda Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Depends on what I'm in the mood for. Pink's is my fav for take-out, Dolce vita for dining out, and Bombay Pizza if I'm craving tandoori. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Regular pizza, Frank's. I love the atmosphere there, it's always busy, and when we're stuck at work, they deliver. For specialty/ hippy pizzas, Reserve 101 at Dallas at Caroline, across from HoB. the BBQ chicken and pineapple pizza is to die for, and the pepperoni/feta pizza is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Pizaro's is the closest to an actual Neapolitan pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Downtown pizza on my boycott list:Frank's: They lobbied City Council not to allow food trucks to operate with permission on private property Downtown.Bombay Pizza: They weren't paying overtime to kitchen staff, some of which were working more than 80 hours a week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctaf Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I love the giant slice for two dollars at Costco. But if not costco, I like Fuzzys, Brothers, Star (deep dish), and occasionally Pinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydogs1 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Brother's on I-10 and HWY 6 and Rosa's on Mason rd in Katy. Rosa's has an awesome Stuffed Pizza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I consider myself something of an expert here as I have tried literally dozens of places.The best isPizza King in League City, which is near where my parents live.Also in that general area is a new place called Slices and Ices, which has a good grandma slice, and Dan's which is excellent for full pizzas.In the city, I think the best overall is Pizzeria Solario, but the service is slow, and it's gourmet.For Deep Dish, Pizza L'Vino, followed by Candelari's and Chicago Pizza.For Italian style, Solario followed by Piola and nundini.For slices, Romano's, then Frank's.For value, Pizza Patron followed by Daddy O's (hole in the wall off Antoine)For overall, Solario, then Pizza L'Vino (provided you don't order just cheese), and then Pink's/Daddy O'sHappy's is on my list I need to try. But overall I wasn't impressed by Luigi's, Tastee, Brother's, New York Pizzeria, Pizaro, Ponzo's, Texas Pizza, Flakey's, Gotham, Capone's, Napoli, Collina's, and Star (the MOST overrated)Luna is a new place, pretty good too but kind of greasy.If you're ever in south Dallas aka woodlands gozetti's is pretty good.

I'd certainly agree with Star being overrated. I may have to try Gozzetti's... Grimaldi's in The Woodlands is pretty good, but not worth the wait when they're busy.

mkultra25 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm curious as to what kind of pizza those who consider Star overrated have had there. I've eaten pizza at a lot of places, and IMO the deep-dish Joe's at Star has very few peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've eaten pizza at a lot of places, and IMO the deep-dish Joe's at Star has very few peers. I've had several different pizzas from Star. If you eat in, they are passable, but for take out, or if you eat slow, the crust gets soggy, and I've had a couple that weren't completely cooked. As mentioned above, they need to cook the water out of the veggies as well. Their lunch buffet isn't too bad, but I still prefer Candelari's.

This occurred to me after I posted, and I think there's definitely something to it. I've never had a bad meal there when dining in, but have been underwhelmed by takeout. The other thing that occurred to me is that they've been around for quite a few years, and it's possible that they're coasting on their past glory, when there wasn't nearly the amount of competition that there is now.

ricco67 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 There might be some truth to that, I've been eating there for decades and it seems to me that it isn't quite as good as it used to be. eating in is okay, but I stopped takeout there for the same reasons. now when I do takeout for Pizza, I hit up franks.

skwatra Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Pizza L'Vino is my new go to for hand tossed. Their ingredients are very fresh. For deep dish the two times I tried from there, it was way undercooked for my taste (delivery). I just popped it in the oven on a pizza stone for a few minutes and then it was pretty good. I haven't had Star in a while, but always loved their wheat deep dish. Never had any problems with soggy toppings. Franks for a late night slice for sure! I wish I could like Pink's more since I can walk there, but its just too expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Had happys today, pretty forgettable. Instead of a pizza stone, a cast iron skillet works better, particularly if you have a gas oven, just put on broiler mode. The stove can cook the crust if it's not charred enough.

It isn't "soggy toppings" but wet toppings making the whole thing soggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Has anyone tried the new pizza/pizza by the slice place that opened up at the corner of montrose and westheimer in the location that was Montrose Photo Booth?

skwatra Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Pepperoni's next to BBs. I was going by and saw they were giving away a free slice as part of their soft opening. Got a slice of pepperoni, pretty good. I guess its a local chain with several locations in the burbs. Pink's is probably the closest thing I could describe it as (both the place and the pie). The guy said they were planning on being open til at least 2am Thursday-Saturday for slices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
