We've gone through the routine of JC Penny's, Dillards, and Sears and now it's time for my food court reward for not misbehaving. Many of you might not remember or have been born yet, but the place that took center stage and what was my favorite pizza place to this day was Luca Pizza. I'll always remember a worker wearing their chef's whites offering samples in the dining area, and my mom taking one for each of us. Every time I ate a piece I thought, "man, no wonder the Ninja Turtles love pizza so much". And then one day it was gone. The pizzeria that I loved so much growing up was no longer there, and it felt like it took all my memories with it. I thought that was it. All we have left here in The Valley is global pizza chains. Nothing made with heart. But then a cousin of mine told me that one of the cooks opened up his own place in Mission on Conway called "Pizza di Roma". Familiar faces. Familiar flavors. Familiar memories. After getting a haircut at Tatan's I would drive over and walk through the back entrance after passing their herb garden and get a pie. Things were right in the world, and wouldn't you know it, I came to learn that the full name of Luca Pizza was "Luca Pizza di Roma". Hah! And then one day it was gone. The doors were shut. The lights were off. Surely this can't be happening again right? Of course it was. The story would repeat itself with yet another pizzeria with the same staff called Titto's Pizzeria in Palmview until that too was gone, only this time there was no new incarnation. The spiritual descendants of Luca Pizza in The Plaza Mall were now all gone. There was no more pizza to be made from them anymore. Their story, as far as I know, had ended. And then one day I discovered The Pizzeria. The same cousin recommended it saying it reminded him of Pizza di Roma. Familiar ingredients! Familiar flavors! So, of course, I made the trek to Harlingen. Has anyone ever had that experience where they open the doors to a restaurant and you're immediately hit in the face with the smell that defines their restaurant? For steak houses it's the smell of the smoke coming from a seared steak, for panaderias it's the smell of sugar and freshly baked bread, and for coffee shops it's the smell of the sweetness of freshly ground coffee beans. For The Pizzeria, it was the smell of a caramelized pizza crust, the burnt flour left over in the oven, and the unmistakable heat and smell of a 450 degree oven that has baked thousands of pies in its lifetime. Now, I've been a loyal fan of this local pizza chain for years, and when their Harlingen location first opened, I still remember walking in and feeling like I had stepped into a true, passion-driven pizzeria. The place had energy, heart, and a sense of pride. Perhaps not familiar faces, but familiar flavors and, yes, familiar memories. But lately, something's changed, and not for the better. My recent visits to the Mission location have felt strangely lifeless in comparison. While the ingredients are still fresh, the execution hasn't been keeping up. The crusts come out uneven, the bakes inconsistent, and the attention to detail that once defined them seems to be fading. The frustrating part is that they still have all the ingredients (pun intended) to be great. Every single bite I take I think "This is good, and it's so close to being great, but it's just not there." What's lacking now is technique and care. The fundamentals aren't being applied with the same precision or passion they used to, and the result shows. I genuinely hope they can turn things around, because this isn't a lost cause. They've proven before, especially in those early Harlingen days, that they can deliver pizza with real heart. With a renewed focus on craftsmanship and consistency, they could easily reclaim what made them special. I want to keep cheering for them, but they need to rediscover the spark that once set them apart.

I understand it is a place where kids and family can hang out especially because there is courts in the back, but when i went there was a group of kids about the age 13-15 they were being rude talking and yelling loud saying bad words and talking about the staff. I'm just upset the parents never showed up or asked nicely to settle down. They also dropped drinks and made a mess everywhere on purpose it was just so disappointing to see how those kids were acting, i went to have a nice dinner and honestly left pretty upset.

Our group of six stopped in on a Tuesday evening and we were able to get seated without a wait--though we may have just gotten lucky! The menu has everything from traditional flavors to more adventurous options. Hot Cheetos on a pizza? Some might think it's crazy but it works! I ordered the Franz pizza and absolutely loved it. I shared a few slices with the table, and everyone was also surprised by how well the flavors came together. The dough was perfection! The atmosphere is just as entertaining as the food--there's a giant video wall that I assume is a nice spot on game days. The décor puts a playful spin on classic Italian artwork, which perfectly reflects the restaurant's creative approach to pizza. All in all, it's a great spot for groups, has a relaxed vibe, and serves pizzas that are both delicious and memorable. I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area!

They have quite a variety of food, from tortas and tacos to pizza and wings, not the usual mix for such a small place. When you have such a large variety of different foods, flavors don't always come through. Our food was good...the pizza was nice and hot, there was no flavor lacking. Was it the best pizza out there, no but for it's price it was great. I ordered wings because I had a hankering for them...they were admittedly small. Other places have higher quality wings but their prices are also much higher. The Buffalo sauce was tangy with a little heat, and the wings were sauced well. But wings were definitely not their forte.... And my wife ordered herself a Siberia tostada...it was quite large. The tostada had the right amount of crunch but the shredded chicken was missing flavor... Not the best wings...good pizza... decent Mexican food...but the best prices out there. Recommended for those with large families....

I was not upset at this point - just hungry. Got the bag, looked in saw three containers and figured I was good to go. A salad, a capresse salad, and a side of Italian sausage. Got to my hotel - no silverware. That's a trigger for me right there. Come on - at least ask me if it's not standard. I'm headed to a hotel room and had to each the salad with a spoon. Opened up what I thought was the sausage - nothing but sauce. C'mon. If you're going to put an item in two containers put both containers in the bag. Then opened the capresse salad - no luck again - they gave me burrata. Could have been worse. I can tell you I can't go back. There's plenty of other options. If you do wanna try it I think you have your dinner there and maybe it'll be a little bit better.
