The actual pizza felt a bit doughey to me and too much sauce. I like pizza sauce plenty but it was just drenched on the margherita. Nice ingredients but could use better execution. Not bad but not good enough for me to come back.

I've heard a lot about Talespin Pizza, so I finally got the chance to check it out! They specialize…read morein sourdough pizzas with some seriously creative and unique flavor combinations. Selected items are halal, but not everything on the menu is, so make sure to confirm before ordering. We went with: Chili Crunch Chicken -- Chili crunch chicken, chili crunch ranch, cheddar, hot honey, pickled red cabbage, pickles, crispy garlic and chives. This pizza had so many flavors working together--sweet, spicy, tangy and savory with a nice crunch from the garlic. Definitely a unique combination and absolutely delicious. Coffee Cowboy -- Made with halal coffee-crusted flank steak, smoked onion bianco sauce, mozzarella, white cheddar, caramelized onions and truffled arugula. This was easily one of the most interesting pizzas I've tried. The steak was tender and flavorful, while the coffee crust added a deep roasted flavor. The caramelized onions, creamy sauce and fresh arugula brought everything together perfectly. Dad's OG Bruschetta -- House-baked French bread topped with roasted garlic ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan and chives. Cheesy, garlicky and loaded with flavor--a great way to start the meal. I also really enjoyed their sourdough crust. It had that beautiful char on the outside while staying light and chewy inside. Overall, Talespin Pizza definitely lived up to the hype. Both pizzas were amazing, but what really stood out was how different they were from your typical pizza combinations. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different in Houston!

First time here, not busy when we arrived although more started to come in as the afternoon progressed.

World Cup Futbol was on and it looks like this is a spot where you can watch Futbol if there is a match. Pies with enticing topping combinations made it hard to pick just two. We ordered the Dream Catcher and Troublemaker. Dream Catcher-you had me at Goat cheese and Truffle and the Fior Di Latte took it over the top! Troublemaker was also enjoyed with the Chicken Italian sausage which is not available everywhere. Bonus-house made tomato sauce-which was delicious. A couple of salads and desserts so it's all about the pizza here and that's just fine. Service was upbeat and engaged. They do have another location in the Heights. I would say one of the best pizza spots in Htown. Don't miss the Dream Catcher!

I have to confess that I'm a bit of a pizza snob, as are my companions, so it's noteworthy that all three of us gave very high marks to the pies here. Dan and Azar both ordered the Neo Marguerita pizza (with mushrooms added), and I got the Funghi. I think a significant highlight of their Neo Marguerita pizzas was the sauce - extra rich and intense from tomato pulp - it enhanced all the other ingredients perfectly. My Funghi pizza was just a delight in every way. You simply can't go wrong with mushroom umami and the sweet intensity of caramelized onions. The cheese and crust were miraculous, too. Did I mention that this was on a Wednesday? My bad. It just so happens that on Wednesdays wines are half off! A crisp, clean Pinot Grigio paired well with our meal. Last, but certainly not least, the service was above par - efficient, friendly, and responsive. My takeaway: if you want authentic, delicious food and a welcoming vibe, go here!

The staff is incredibly friendly, always with a smile and ready to share their passion for baking. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their products and take pride in every pastry they create. Whether you're in the mood for fresh bread, delicate pastries, or a good sandwiches, everything is made with love and attention to detail. The flavors are absolutely incredible, and I always look forward to my next visit. This bakery is truly a treasure in the neighborhood, and I'm so grateful to have it just around the corner.

I've passed by this store countless times on my way home from work, and finally decided to give it a try with a friend. The experience exceeded our expectations! The raisin and nut bread we tried was not only delicious but also surprisingly healthy. What truly stood out was the exceptional service from the girl at the front desk. She was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, generously allowing us to sample a variety of breads and donuts. Speaking of donuts, they were absolutely scrumptious and definitely worth trying! Overall, a must-visit for anyone craving delightful treats and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this gem. The freshly baked bread was my absolute favorite. The cranberry walnut bread (the dense version), was a DELICIOUS snack/dessert, they make loafs and rolls, so you cant go wrong. You definitely NEED to try them out. The service was excellent, very kind and welcoming. They let me try samples of everything! The marbled Rye was spot on, several different kids of bread, from white, rye, sweet bread, pastry - you cant go wrong. They even do an order and go lunch. My kids ate sandwiches 3 days in a row, BY CHOICE thanks to his recommendation. read more

We walked into Artisan Bread Gallery early in the morning, just looking for one loaf of bread. The owner, incredibly kind and welcoming, insisted on warming it in the oven for us to make it even crispier--exactly how we wanted it. But what truly amazed us was his generosity--he offered us more loaves just so we could taste them. And wow, every bite was incredible!
