If I ask my tiny roommate her choice for dinner, there is a 99% chance she'll request pizza. And since 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. read more

Ive never had anything from Luigi's as many times as Ive been next door. Unless, I just cannot remember. Nonetheless, I ordered a calzone. It was very seasoned and the crust was not hard and burnt. They offer pizza, subs, calzones, pasta, salads, sides, and gelato. The gelato was very tempting but I. Must. Stay. The. Course. Food took about 12/15 minutes. We didnt stay long because everyone got sleepy. read more

Don't sleep on Luigi's! Yes there are plenty of pizza options in Houston but Luigi's is a lesser known spot that most folks only find out about because they want food while chilling at connecting Axelrad. They serve pizzas by the slice, which is a nice option not all pizza places offer! Most of the times I've had Luigi's was in fact at Axelrad's and the pizza always comes out timely and fresh. While Axelrad does not allow pizza boxes, Luigi's will serve your pizza on a hot plate if you'll be enjoying it at Axelrad. Our most recent visit was late-night following an event and Luigi's was the only pizza joint still open. We ordered a 16" pizza, half Supreme and half The Meats (meat lover's). Both sides were delicious - the Supreme was loaded to where the slices were floppy and The Meats lived up to its name. I like how they include hamburger (ground) beef on The Meats to make it a 4-meat pizza in addition to pepperoni, sausage, and Canadian bacon. Crust is on the thinner side and has a good chew texture to it. Adrian behind the counter helped us on our last visit - he was friendly and quick to bring out the pizza. After placing the order via phone, he quoted us 20 minutes, and the pizza was indeed ready within that timeframe. There is not much atmosphere here, as it's more of a grab-and-go type of place. They do serve gelato but on my last visit, the gelato machine was broken but they had a note stating that they still have gelato in the back freezer. Luigi's is always a solid option for pizza in Houston. Don't sleep on this place especially if you find yourself at Axelrad and get the munchies! read more

This is the pizzeria right by axelrad. It's definitely the move after a fun night out, good pizza to follow up on the potential drinking you've done throughout the night! Only thing to watch out for is wait times, since pretty much everyone is looking for a bite at some point throughout the night. The setting is always fun, good music playing and generally good vibes around this area. read more

A friend of mine told me that Luigi's quality has been going downhill. I did't believe him. I took my family to Luigi's last night and sadly confirmed what I was told. The dough was not the same it used to be. It was chewy and lack the flavor of a well matured dough. It felt bland/industrial. Luigi's used to show on my top pizza places in Houston...not anymore :( read more

I was in desperate need of pizza last night and was taken back when 1 slice at Luigi's was $10. Cuz I originally wanted 2 but I'm not paying $20 for two SLICES. I just checked Franks prices cuz I know I'm not crazy. And their slices are only $3.50-$3.75. Luigi's gotta chill. read more

Even after 12 years the food consistency is still there. Pizza has a thinner crust, so if you like it thick & packing this might be a turn off. They don't charge more for doing a half and half. We popped in before zoo lights. Enjoyed the now closed patio area and free play pac man table. My kids tested the cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks and it exceeded their expectations. read more

Small place. Big yum. I was very hungry when I stopped by Luigi's. The restaurant is small, but neat with friendly staff. I was impressed by her willingness honor our requests of half toppings on our pizzas. The supreme pizza and the eggplant one were extremely tasty and warming, especially in the cold. The sauce was perfectly balanced and the toppings were well made, all coming together on an excellent made dough base. The max and cheese bites were also an unexpected pleasant surprise, with there being enough to share. read more

30 mins wait for a pizza - I will not be going back - embarrassing , everyone who came in after me got their pizza, I'm talking about actual whole pizzas not slices - and the only nice thing was that they offered me a drink while I wait - thanks but no thanks, ruined my whole crave for pizza - how does a pizza business ruin someone's entire craving or excitement for pizza - do better. read more

I think I've unintentionally become a bit of a pizza snob -- noticing cheese-to-sauce ratios, crisp crusts, and perfect little pepperoni cups. Unfortunately, this pizza fell a bit short for me. The sauce lacked flavor, the crust was just okay (not buttery or flaky), and the pepperonis were barely cooked, even though I requested it well done. On the plus side, I ordered online and my pizza was ready when I arrived. Pickup was smooth, the restaurant looked clean, and you can see directly into the kitchen, which I appreciate. There's also plenty of parking. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it didn't wow me either. read more

Great pizza, staff not so friendly. Recommend ordering to go to avoid the negative interaction.

Luigi's Pizzeria offers a cozy, comforting environment to grab a diverse array of Italian treats. Customer service was good, and staff whipped up our order quite fast. In terms of the actual pizza and salad though, the experience felt a bit lackluster. I tried the Philly Cheesesteak with a Baby Luigi's salad. They both lacked real flavor until we doused them in red chilly flakes and parmesan cheese and even then, they both seemed like overpriced items for the experience we had. I'm curious to go back and try different toppings to see if that would make a difference, since the sauce and crust were quite good. read more

I got food poisoning from eating the meats pizza (one on the left). I ate about half of it and started feeling nauseous so I threw the slice out. In the early morning I woke up multiple times so sick, body aching and puking with a low fever. I've been bed ridden all day. read more

This is my favorite pizza in the Houston area. I always order the 16 inch supreme pizza to go which includes pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, black and green olives, red and green peppers, mushrooms and onions (pic attached). Really good pizza and I'm originally from Chicago . You order at the counter and if dining there, they'll bring out your pizza, else you pick up your to-go order at the counter. They have very limited seating inside and some covered outdoor seating at the restaurant itself. Right next door is an open space where people hang out. There are chairs and hammocks. Next door there is a full service bar. Luigi's does not serve alcohol, but you can walk over and grab a cocktail to go with your meal. I rarely eat there, but will have a glass of wine while waiting for my take out order. read more

This was our second choice because our first choice apparently had their employee holiday party and were closed and I was dreading it because I'm trying to not eat pizza if I don't have to on the account of the carbs and the fats and whatnot. To my surprise, the Luigi's salad was actually damn good. Maybe not the healthiest salad on the planet with the delicious bread stick they give you but still really good and not the typical pizza place salad. I did try a little pizza too. It was decent too. read more

Had this highly recommended pizza delivered to my hotel. Crust flavor/texture is good. It's crispy and light. Sauce is on the "sweet" side and doesn't really do much for me. Italian sausage looks like it came out of a bag and doesn't have much flavor. Maybe that's just me, but I expect more than this. Overall, it's a 7.0 pie. read more

Got takeout from here, wasn't too impressed with the pizza given the price. Tried Mexicana & Supreme, I thought the Mexicana had pretty unique flavors. Just average pizza. read more

There may be fancier options downtown, but Luigi's has been consistently good for a long time. The fact that it's situated next to Axelrad is awesome too! From the pizzas, to sandwich's and apps, never had anything I didn't like or had to send back, and the gelato keeps my little ones happy! Prices haven't really changed much over the years either which is nice! Finally, the staff have always been kind and extremely accommodating. read more

I've been to Luigi's a couple of times and it's always good! Being attached to Axelrad means they're always busy, which can make the ordering area a little tight, but the line moves quickly. Staff is friendly and slices are huge - two signs of a great pizza spot! Their buzzer system works well, so you can crab a seat on their patio or head next door to grab a drink while you wait. This last visit I feel like I wanted my slice a little cheesier? Something about it felt drier than usual if that makes sense. But I still very much enjoyed the flavor and my mom loved her supreme slice! Will be back for the good food and great atmosphere. read more

My fiancée and I dined in the beer garden on a busy Friday night. Parking was crazy, customer service was great, and the vibe was on point. With that being said, the pizza was super underwhelming. It had so many bubbles, it's was dry and lacked sauce and cheese. We ordered buffalo wings and they were huge and breaded with a not so great flavor. Not a fan! I also ordered a side salad and I'd definitely skip this as it's super processed. All in all is a cool place to catch up with friends but the food was unimpressive. read more

Man I just got violated. It was $9 for a slice of pizza and I left hungry. Pizza was dry and my crust was burnt. I couldn't even eat the crust. I was starving so I just ate what I could. Pretty disappointed. I wanted to ask for a refund but too hungry to do that. Haven't been there in about 2 years. Don't know if I will go back. read more

I ordered an online pick-up order. I received a text and email stating my order is ready for pick up at 8:58 pm (image attached). I arrived at 9:22 pm and was told my order was still in progress and then was questioned if I placed the order for the right location ( I did.). This is frustrating because I allowed a grace period because I felt the first time was too early. Waited an additional 15 minutes and went back in to check. A text or email wouldve been nice to know my order was done. My order was 2 side salads and 16" cheese pizza, not too complicated in my opinion. The salad had fresh veggies and was crunchy. The pizza was okay, maybe because I only got cheese but wasnt that great to me. It is NY style so def thin style pizza (I'm a chicago transplant so my opinion is different for east coast style Za). . The crust could've had a garlic butter on the crust or something. read more

My wife just added Luigi's to our list of favorite local pizza restaurants. She likes thin crust on her pizza. I don't care about the thickness of the crust... I like FLAVOR and TEXTURE. The medium The Meats pizza that we ordered made us both happy. The crust was thin with the right amount of crunch in all the right places. The meats were plentiful enough that I did not have to measure my bites and the sauce was seasoned well enough that all I cared to add was a sprinkling of crushed red pepper. ...speaking of crushed red pepper, do you remember when all the pizza restaurants offered crushed red pepper and grated parmesan cheese with their entrees? (But I regress) Luigi's dining area is a covered patio enclosed on three sides with plexiglass siding. The third side opens into a courtyard that is shared with Axelrad Beer Garden. The patio area is cooled by a mini split A/C unit and ceiling fans. It was comfortable on the day of our visit. There are a few tables and chairs opposite the ordering and pick-up counters, but they are too crowded to sit comfortably. read more

Okay let's talk about why I'm now unofficially referring to this place as Luigi Calzone. The cheese-to-sauce ratio is a masterpiece, and every bite is a reminder that life's too short for bad pizza pocket. Thin sliced Ny pizza slices you easily could fold like a true New Yorker or go full savage and eat it flat--either way, you win. Grab their meat calzone. This thing isn't just food--it's an experience. A golden, crispy, cheese-stuffed pocket of joy, packed with layers of savory meats and melty mozzarella, served with fresh in house marinara (which, yes, still pairs beautifully with ranch--don't fight it). It's the kind of meal that makes you rethink all past calzone decisions. All of this in a classic pizza joint setting--indoor, outdoor, that perfect casual vibe. Maybe you're posted up inside or maybe you're soaking in the fresh air outside, but one thing's for sure: there's a mini arcade game nearby, just begging for some nostalgic button-mashing between bites. A slice in one hand, victory in the other--welcome to peak pizza night. read more

Review is for Pizza delivery - that is pizza delivered by my coworker since the weather was cold and drizzly and about a dozen of us were meeting in a building across the street. I have no idea what the restaurant looks like but their pizzas were things of beauty. Thin-crust that was soft and chewy, no dry and crispy. Strong enough to hold all the toppings, sauce, and cheese without making a mess. Large, triangular pre-cut slices. Very similar to New York style pizza but maybe less messy. The toppings have a Texas twist of course. Smoked Brisket is not a common California pizza topping, and it was awesome. Like BBQ on a slice! The Supreme was also good but I'd rather have brisket! Cheese pizza, though it seems plain was a good third slice since it won't fill you up too much. read more

Mostly good. I like that they sell single slices. The pizza is good. Can be a bit sloppy at times. The fries are really good. The spaghetti is just ok. Not super flavorful. The sauce is just tomato sauce, it seems. The staff is always friendly. read more

TODAY, I picked up the voodoo Bbq pizza and was highly disappointed. This was NOT worth $25. We basically had a cheese pizza with bbq sauce on it. Please make it worth the price. I can say the amount of brisket on this pizza has slowly declined. This was the last time I will be purchasing this. I've purchased it before in hopes that the amount would be comparable to what I am paying. Seriously, worth a refund read more

The rudest person I have dealt with in years. I'm an executive and deal with all personalities daily. I would never go back to this place. It's disgraceful to have something like that and to treat people that way for no reason. i'm just trying to go home with a pizza after a day's work. To ruin the day with the person taking my money, having a completely nasty attitude sucks. Wow! I guess lesson learned is to get a refund and leave. read more

My favorite pizza in the whole wide world! Great quality ingredients that are worth the wait. The pizza slices are pretty big too! I also love the Mac and cheese bites and mozzarella sticks. The ambience is amazing because it's next to Axelrad so you get live music, hammocks, and a great selection of beers. The actual seating at this spot is good too because it's covered with fans. The service is good! A plus? I can bring my pups read more

Hi! I give it great stars for the greeting. There weren't any customers or any orders the kitchen was working on, which was odd. The place was very clean & well lit. I liked their tables & chairs. Great for teenagers & college kids who want to go on a simple date or get a quick slice of pizza. I did love the crust. Fluffy and crunchy. I saved the rest of the pizza for late night snack. For some strange reason the crust was no longer fluffy & crunchy. I love all their toppings but the pepperoni and Italian sausage I'd skip. It was kinda blah. The wonderful part of this pizza is that it's very low calorie & light. If that is what you are wanting. read more

Ate a quick pizza slice while I was hanging four in the are. Not the greatest slice of pizza I had but it was not bad. I got the pepperoni slice, added some Parmesan and red chili on it. Each slice was about $4.50 a slice. It is Ny style so it was thin crust and had plenty of pepperoni on it. At 2 am I am sure this pizza is the $hit. read more

The pizza was terrible. The dough was weird- tasted more like bread. Never going back.

Ordered to enjoy on the patio they share with Axelrad and enjoy the live band. I do like how they use the beeper to notify you the food is ready so you can enjoy the music while waiting. I ordered garlic bread and the Italian Calzone. Everything came out steamy hot out the oven! The calzone was delicious and had the right amount of stuffing. I love their fresh made marinara sauce with the chunks of tomato. I should have asked for extra cheese. Their garlic bread however lacked garlic flavor. read more

I rarely eat pizza (since it usually disappoints this East Coast transplant). That being said, Luigi's served up a solid pie. Not the thinnest crust -- but thin enough to satisfy. We tried the pepperoni and it hit the spot. To be honest, their mac and cheese balls stole the show. DELICIOUS. Order early if you want arancini -- they sold out of both types in the late afternoon (on a Saturday). read more

As long as I've lived in Houston, I'd never been to this pizza place. I was totally surprised when my husband drove up to this spot for a simple date night. It was the perfect spot for a casual dinner date. There is a club attached to the pizza spot which looked casual as well. We didn't go in, because we only went to eat dinner. My husband had originally asked for 2 slices of the Meat Lovers pizza and the cashier suggested we get the medium size since it would save us $2 and give us more pizza. I thought this was nice and good customer service. So he had the medium size meat lovers pizza and I had the lasagna with a side salad. It wasn't the best, but it was certainly tasty for our hungry appetites. I was quite pleased and will probably visit this spot again soon. I didn't give the full 5 starts, because the patio area tables were not clean. They felt sticky as if they hadn't been wiped down since COVID. read more

This place completes the pizza triad for me in Houston (Romano's and Home Slice are the other two). Both this location and the Bissonet location might as well get thrown in together, here. Both are great! The fact that you can grab a pint next door here to wash it down with is a bonus (if you can find a place to sit). read more
