    Solid pizza spot in the Spring Branch area. Right in the Marq-E plaza, so parking can be difficult at times. Good variety of pizzas to choose from, at varying sizes, and lots of non-pizzas as well. My party didn't order any beer, but it looks like there's a good selection. A few configuration of seats, from booths to elevated tables and bar stools. Pizza came out decently fast. They're more 'yeasty' than most pizzas, but I think it's unique in a good way; I actually found it a little more addicting tbh. Good spot to grab a slice before/after the movies.

    Quite simply, some of the best pizza I've had in a while. Not saucy, just good toppings. Atmosphere was quiet, casually busy. Beer on tap was good. They must clean the taps regularly. You can tell the difference. I'll be back.

    A nice addition to the MarqE area to which I frequent quite often :) We had just finished an immersive gaming experience nearby and this was within walking distance. Staff was friendly and welcoming during our visit and gave us a quick run down. It's got a very modern and casual ambiance, with an outdoor patio that's perfect for group hangout when the weather's kind. They definitely lived up to the "Draft house" name as there's over 50+ beers on tap. The menu also had some tempting-looking sandwiches and salads that caught my eye. As for the pizza (also customizable), it definitely hit the spot. I tried the meaty all mighty, which came out piping hot, I really liked crispy crust and generous amount of toppings. While the pizza didn't blow me away, it's still solid, especially considering that Houston's pizza scene hasn't set a particularly high bar (agree or disagree?) My friends all enjoyed it, and I'm glad we stumbled upon the place. Would definitely come back here!

    12" The Lazy Goat

    Pizza and beer..... what a great combination! We stopped here because we wanted to get some dinner before we went across the way to a movie. We split 2 medium pizzas and it was still plenty of food for 3 hungry people. The beer selection was good. I got the shiner summer shandy and it was light, crisp and citrusy. As recommended from our friend, we asked the pizza be extra crispy. Good thing we did because the crust was cooked all the way through but I wouldn't describe it was extra crispy. So if we had gotten it regular, it might've been more on the soggy side. We got the Major Tom and the Lazy Goat. I personally love goat cheese so I enjoyed the flavor it brought to the pizza. I wished the artichoke pieces were a little bit smaller. As soon as you bite into it, you end up taking half of the toppings off the slice with it. The Major Tom was also very good, typical for your meat and veggie pizza. This is a nice chill spot to grab a slice with your friends if you're looking for a casual spot without having to wait in line for a table somewhere else.

    I came to Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse a couple of times. First time was in the evening right before Houston got warmer. Service was great. Because it was a club meeting, I didn't get a chance to explore the menu. I ordered a dairy-free cheese pizza. It was new to me. Although, I didn't care for it much. I swore to order an ordinary pizza on my next visit. I came back today. It was my group's brunch event. Who would thought of pizza for brunch. Hahaha. I came here a little past 1 pm. This time, I asked cashier for recommendations. Because I wanted quick bite. The friendly employee told me about the personal pizza. Sure. I ordered Flying Garlic Pizza with chicken on it. It didn't take long. I started to take pictures and I couldn't resist the aroma. I took a bite. OMG. I was in heaven. It tasted so good. I took another bite... next thing I know, I almost finished this 6-slice pizza. Yeah, don't worry about takeout box. I had my pizza fix for the week. Actually, I might come back later this week. Very impressive. I don't drink. So, I can't recommend any brews or drinks. I drank water.

    My very first pizza was delicious. I tried the Austin Pizza not knowing what to expect. Once I took my first bite I was hooked. It was unexpectedly delicious! I have to come back again. By the way, the Austin pizza has kale and feta cheese. I can't remember. I took a picture. The service was great. The place has good seating and a great atmosphere.

    12" The Greek and 12" Meat Almighty
    Candy C.

    Ordered 2 12" to go, The Greek and the Meat Almighty with dairy-free cheese (luv that it is an option). Toppings were tasty and enough to cover the whole pizza. The crust... 1. It was crispy on the bottom as well as the sides. 2. It was strong enough to hold the toppings. 3. It had a nice chew. Casual dining and family friendly. I will be back. Why is there not a pizza flight?

    I am so glad we stopped by this pizzeria! The service was so pleasant and helpful starting right at the counter. After hearing my friend and I discussing out differing opinions on olives, our server offered to make half the pizza olive-free. It's this kind of attentiveness that defined our time eating there and that really stood out to me. There was plenty of seating and the interior was neat and tidy. The pizza came out promptly and was delicious! The crust was both crunch and soft and chewy, while the toppings were tasty and went well together. We had the Ground Control pizza and I highly recommend it. The 12 inch size was perfect for my friend and I to share. A great place to go when you're craving a great slice!

    This place rocks!! I spotted a sign when I was visiting a near by establishment and the "drafthouse" portion of their name lassoed me in. The vibe is casual. Large long tables and booths. Kids running amok. I was a tad concerned I couldn't get my drink on but I pushed on. I was pleasantly surprised at the cashier station. GUYS they have 50 freaking beers/drinks on tap! Best part is they said I could sample to my hearts content. I tried (4) different ones but eventually settled on a tired a true, buckle bunny. Honorable mention to the house made margarita on tap. My husband loved the Galveston bay blueberry blonde. Jose was my cashier aka bartender and he was so friendly and I welcoming. We will definitely be back.

    Aviator Pizza & Drafthouse is an Austin based pizza and beer spot that has recently made it's Houston debut. From what I read, they've been around for a minute and is a popular spot in the Hill Country. The name gives off plane and aviation vibes, but I didn't really see any theme in this restaurant. This location is in the Houston MarqE entertainment complex which has really made some changes with lots of cool new entertainment and food spots. We just finished up at the Immersive Gamebox nearby and was looking for lunch options. This place was in my peripheral so we decided to check it out. It is super spacious inside with lots of seating inside. They also have patios in the front and back of the restaurant. Customer service was really good. The gals up front had no problem giving suggestions and let us try samples of the brews before purchase. I'm sure you can figure out by the name of this place that they specialize in pizza and beer. The pizzas are made to order and they got quite a few options to choose from. If you aren't feeling a pizza, they also got breadsticks, salads, grinder sandwiches, calzones, and dessert. For their beer selection, they proudly serve around 50 Texas beers only. As much as I like beers from all over, it was cool to see them support locally within our great state. We started off with the Zilker salad which had arugula, greens, pecans, cranberries and goat cheese. It was a great salad that went well with the heavy, rich pizzas. Pizza wise, we went with the Flying Garlic and the Meat Almighty with added jalapenos. The pizzas came out piping hot and they looked really good. One thing they do not do here is skimp on toppings. That being said, with all the toppings, they should spread it out more evenly as the pizza was center heavy and floppy. I had to fork and knife it initially until it cooled down a little. Both pizzas were delicious. I did like the crust and the slight char it had. The Flying Garlic was a little different. Yes, garlic is in the name, but we were not expecting whole cloves thrown on the pizza. I am a garlic fiend and had no problem with it, but it might be too much for some. Maybe sliced garlic would be a better choice. The beers were nice and cold. They also have lots of bottled drink options and have Stubborn soda and a few big brands as fountain drinks. Overall, I'm glad we gave this spot a chance. We almost didn't because of how new it was and lack of alot of reviews. It's a solid spot and I would come back again when in the area.

    Ambiance: Modern brewery vibe pizza spot serving up pizza, wine, & beer! I liked that their booths and tables are quite big and accommodate large groups. They also have an outdoor dining area. My friend and I both enjoyed the pizzas we ordered! Friendly & fast service - employees checked in on us to make sure we were good. Across the street from Regal theaters and several other shops/bars making it perfect for a movie date or bar hopping spot. Decent pricing, enjoyed the house wine! Pretty good draft selection as well. I will go back if in the area!

    There's a new pizza parlor located in the bustling MarqE shopping Entertainment Center. Aviator Pizza is a Texas based pizza chain with a handful of other locations I was impressed by the shear amount of options. Firstly, you can sit inside or on the covered patio/beer hall looking space. There are dozens of beers and ciders on tap to choose from. The pizza options are plentiful. Pick one of their signature pizzas, or build your own. Also, there are many size options including a personal pan option The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The pizza itself was fine. I was hoping for a bit more flavor, and the crust tasted a little doughy. The beer was good. And the ambiance was nice. The interior has less space to sit, but feels a little trendier than the exterior covered patio which feels a little bare. Also, each time I've stopped by the patio is virtually unused, and with such an open concept, and it being front and center when you walk up, it looks either unfinished or like it's a ghost town Some tips: There is a loyalty program that will give you 2% back in dining credits if you're a member. Also, the beer menu being so extensive and overwhelming., ask for samples. The staff is more than happy to hook you up with a taste. Lastly, since you're in the area maybe walk across the street and take in a movie at Regal Cinema Cheers!!

    This was pretty good pizza. I will say the red sauce taste a little different, but it's still good. The meat pizza is FULL of meat and the crust is pretty good. I love the family seating in this spot.

    Tables or booths.. your choice!

It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.

Similar to other recently opened venues that serve beer on tap and feature both indoor and outdoor spaces, there is something available for all ages in your party. Though parking is free in their lot, it does quickly fill up as the evening progresses. Our friends had reserved a few tables outside, but it also turned out to be the coldest day of the year, so we ended up settling inside. We sampled sliders, hot dogs, flat breads, pizza, pretzels, nachos, and chicken lollipops, which were served in metal catering trays along a long table. All the food items that were ordered were good. We did not order anything to drink, but the servers did a great job of coming by our tables to see if we needed anything throughout the evening, and he had quite a large party. The outdoor space is pretty large, with open areas of turf for lawn games and kids to run around. There is also ample outdoor seating, with a few food trucks along the outer part of the venue. Not sure if these are left out year-round, but they had these fire pit space heater/light sources between the tables that provided a nice touch to the outdoor space, especially as the evening grew darker. Although we don't live nearby, this was a great spot to celebrate a birthday, hang out with friends, date night, etc. I definitely recommend this place if you live on this side of town.

It was hard to order with all the customers though, and it took a long time for the drinks to be made. Their parking lot is very small for the size of the establishment, and they have additional diagonal spots along the street that stretch for a looooong distance. It's very strange how they designed it.
