After a very entertaining Houston Filmmakers showcase at River Oaks Theatre, we felt the need for…read moresustenance and because of past experiences, we made our way to Pizzana.
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! You won't be disappointed.
