Really solid place to get pizza. I'll give them a four stars. I would give them five stars but they have no signs, no lights, and you can't even find them. When I asked the guy who bought the pizza outside for curbside he was proud when he said yeah for the past 14 years we never had signs, lights or Advertising, only word of mouth. Maybe they're not trying to scale their business or make the most po profit but as someone who's in sales and marketing I was shocked! I have literally driven down the street for the past 14 years and I have never seen them. That's terrible. Food: I tried one of their pizzas and I have to say it was very good. Everything was very fresh. The flavor was absolutely amazing. All the toppings were super tasty and super fresh. I was really into the pizza here. I will definitely be coming back here. They have a ton of different pizzas you can select from. I like how you can get a small for 6.99 and let me tell you what it's very filling. They also have some really good lunch specials as well. I will be coming back soon to try it more of their different offerings for pizza, as well as their wings. Attention management or owners if you're reading this please invest in some decent lights. For one I could even find you when I was trying to pick up my food. For two do you realize how many people are probably not seeing you either as I've been driving down this road for 14 years and never even noticed you once. Other than that the food was great. Thank you

Better than BREWINGZ, Wings & Things, Big City and probably any other place. Their Wings have always hit the spot, juicy and tasty! Lazaro may have only 2 flavors, but both are delicious as ever!!! Cooked just right.

This is what you call a true "neighborhood" pizza joint. Located in a run down strip center with parking in front it's really a 'to-go' restaurant serving mainly pizza and with some pasta dishes, salads and tortas all at affordable prices. They do have some tables and chairs if you want to eat in. Soft drink options are only in bottles. Recently I called in an order for a 3 topping thin crust pizza of beef, mushrooms and onions for about $14 cash. I asked them to cook it well done which they did and it was ready in about 20 minutes. This pizza was hot and the toppings were generous in size. It was all very good tasting and enjoyed. Yes it's plain inside but the food here makes up for it. Their pizza's are solid! read more

I didn't know that this place was right down the street from where I work. I just saw it in a list of nearby eateries and the reviews lead me here. How could a small, hole in the wall pizzeria be? To quote Yelp, "As good as it gets!" When you think of pizza and you use that handy app to order it, shame on you! This mom and pop shop certainly lives up to the reviews. Fresh dough, fresh veggies, and tasty meat toppings. Not to mention (and this seems trivial...until you find that your delivery guy didn't provide any), they provide you with pepper and cheese packets. That alone is a hook for me. Sure, the four tables and chairs don't make for the best dining experience, but it works. The only downside I see (yes, there is just this one), is that they don't serve pizza by the slice. But the small personal 5" pizza costs far less than a small human sized slice at the local New York style parlors. Come on out and pick up a pie! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover.... at first I wasn't that sure about this place, mainly because of the way it looked from outside, but I'm so glad I came here honestly, because it has been one of the best pizzas I have ever tried, the cheese it's amazing!!! And yes, cheese and sauce play w big part in a pizza, and both of them are great, even when the pizza it's cold, cold, warm, it still amazing!!! They have great prices and I can tell that everyone there is pretty United, I'm guessing it's a family business, loved it, food was on point!!! read more

Great pizza! I had to be on this side of town for a week for some meetings, and wanted something different for lunch. This place was relatively far from me but I'm glad I gave it a chance. The pizza is delicious! High quality ingredients. The sauce is exactly how I like it - slightly sweet, and spicy. The crust is tasty, and strikes a good balance of crispy on the outside, and chewy inside. Good stuff! read more

Been driving by for 8 years and never stopped. Wanted something other than Dominos or Marcos tonight and saw the pictures online and decided to try it. This place is impressive. Friendly service. Clean interior. And above all AMAZING food. We had the Margherita and a pepperoni with 1 Pastor salad and 2 Caesar's. The salads are huge and fresh. The dressing was delicious. The pizzas were phenomenal although I would have liked fresh basil on the Margherita and maybe more sauce. We are planning to return soon to try the pastas. read more

The definition of a hole-in-the-wall place! I almost don't want to make this review because I want to keep this secret to myself LOL. But I love their Southwest pizza and their sizes are actually what a large should be. *ahem pizza hut* My boyfriend and I like putting pineapple, pepperoni and fajita meat on our pizza. They also have pretty good pastas! I had the J Lo and it was delish. However, I would not recommend it to anybody who is lactose intolerant... Sadly, I wish someone had warned me. Omg and the tortas are so good! Personally, I love to veggie torta because I love veggies and my boyfriend gets the fajita torta, which is super good too. It also comes with chips! Give this place a try and you won't regret it. read more

Frank's Pizza

Frank's Pizza -- Downtown Houston's Late‑Night Legend…read more Frank's Pizza isn't just a slice spot -- it's a downtown ritual. A Houston rite of passage. The kind of place that feels like it's been feeding the city since the moment concrete hit the ground. 417 Travis Street glows like a beacon for anyone who's ever stumbled out of a show, a shift, a night out, or a long week and needed something honest, hot, and foldable in their hands. The first thing you notice at Frank's is the size -- slices so wide you have to negotiate with gravity. New York‑style, thin crust, fold‑and‑go masterpieces that hit that perfect balance between crisp bottom and chewy bite. And they don't hide behind gimmicks. No "artisanal truffle drizzle" or "seasonal microgreens." Just real pizza, done right, at a price that still respects the working crowd ($10-20 range, according to public listings). This is the kind of slice that makes you pause mid‑chew and go, "Yeah... this is why Houston loves this place." Frank's sits right in the heart of downtown -- the kind of location that sees everything: courthouse traffic, bar crawlers, office warriors, theater folks, and late‑night wanderers. Inside, it's loud in the best way: clatter, laughter, the hum of ovens, the shuffle of people grabbing boxes bigger than their torso. It's got that old‑school, no‑nonsense charm -- the kind of joint where the walls feel like they've absorbed decades of stories. Frank's doesn't chase trends. It doesn't need to. It's sitting on over 7,000 reviews and a 4.5 rating, which is absurd for a pizza place that's been feeding downtown for years. That's not hype -- that's consistency. That's thousands of people saying, "Yeah, Frank's hits."

The pizza here has never left me dissatisfied. There was one time when I got a single slice of…read morepizza that was cold, but I let them know and they replaced it with a hot slice no problem. I think that was a one-off over the past three years. It does get a bit cramped in there but the line does move at a decent pace. It's a great experience if you want a quick bite after a few drinks, just want some good pizza for lunch, or want a whole pie to go.

Luigi's Pizzeria

If I ask my tiny roommate her choice for dinner, there is a 99% chance she'll request pizza. And…read moresince she helped me scope out a space for a party, she was entitled to her pizza. We were between downtown and NRG and ended up at Luigi's. There are guard your vehicle signs in the parking lot, so you get an idea of neighborhood activity. Luigi's is also next to Axelrad Beer Garden, so it could be a relaxed date vibe. There are daily specials. We got a two topping pizza, half and half - cheese for the Little; I tried the brisket. We brought the pizza to our hair salon appointment and shared. Everyone raved about the brisket. I'm looking forward to to returning with my bigger roommate for a date. Luigi's isn't fancy. Small inside. More picnic type tables on the enclosed patio. Also easily accessible to the beer garden.

The menu drinks are all top notch with a happy hour "every damn day" from 4-6. The cosmonaut is a staple martini during happy hour and my personal favorite. Their black lemon drop martini and espresso martini are not to be slept on, nor are their seasonal drinks. They have themed events, karaoke, taco pop ups, Friday 13 events and the holidays here are so fun. Come in and order at the bar, then find a seat anywhere. The whole place is spacious, before it gets packed (and it can get packed). The pizzas are my favorite here and their smash burgers are HIGHLY underrated. My favorite burgers aside from trill burger while at the rodeo. Honestly, you can't go wrong here. The bartenders are nice, the merch is cool, and they have stickers and a Photo Booth. Absolutely worth a visit.

The pizza looked dry, not all the toppings for a traditional supreme were on the pizza. The wings were okay, nothing to brag about. I really wished it was as good as it smelled in my car!

We'll definitely come back and try a lot more things on their menu. The beef and chicken skirt steak was phenomenal. The arepas were full of flavor. The pozole was good as well. Everything we had was high-quality and made to absolute perfection. Customer service was great, I will save this, though. They need to open the downstairs because they had a lot of people waiting. I could remove one star for that due to inconvenience, but they sat us right away so I'm gonna leave it at five stars . Customer service was great. They got us taken care of. Again, Parking a little bit of a challenge but it's all good. It's worth it.
