So, my awesome wife says let's go get lunch, little did I know she had been waiting for this place to open for some time now. We walk in and I ask what the heck is this? She tells me it's like Subway but for pizza. I'm thinking oh great, what will this be like. We get in line and of course I am looking at the tables as I walk by. I ask a gentleman what pizza that is as it looks pretty good. He tells me and I continue toward the beginning of the line.
That's when I guess the manager on duty approaches me and asks if I have been here before. I tell him no this is the first time. He proceeds to explain the whole thing and it's concept. When I say explain it I mean in a super "normal" way. Not that BS you get from some folks on a first week open. This guy knew how to talk and make you feel welcome.
We get to the front of the line and both of us start the "build" process. I go with the BBQ (big shocker I know) and add things to it like pineapple, spicy sausage and other odd things I like to eat. Expecting to get that funny look from the person "building" my pizza as if to say what are you thinking? The look I have seen many times before from other pizza places, but that look never comes. Instead the builders were super nice. You could tell this place had the process down.
We go to pay and I see they have orange Fanta in bottles and on tap, we all know that is an automatic 1 star bump.
We sit down and notice how nice and clean the place is, safe, the music is perfect. Just an over all nice atmosphere.
Not much time goes by and we hear our names called. I go get the pizzas and a refill. While the dude is putting my pizza on the plate he asked if I want the BBQ drizzle thing that in a weird Lebowski way ties the whole thing together. I of course say absolutely to the BBQ drizzle, I mean who wouldn't. To tell you the truth both of these pizzas look pretty good. I mean mine looks great. My awesome wife's veggie pizza looks a little lonely with no meat but to each there own I say.
We talk and eat and talk and eat and next thing you know the food is gone and I have had 3 refills of orange Fanta. Things are good, I would love to have had a White Russian but no luck there.
So, all in all this is a great place. The build process is down pat. It's clean and has a nice atmosphere. The people are nice. Now, is it the best pizza in Houston? No it is not. The ingredients used are solid though. The crust is solid. It's fast, no weird attitude or odd twitter thing going on. In short I will be going back.
So yes I am going to give it 5 stars for what this place is. A pretty well run place with a good concept and good pizza that is reasonably priced in a nice clean and polite atmosphere.
I mean it has all the orange Fanta you can drink with the little crushed ice and they will put pineapple on a BBQ pizza, what is there not to love about that? read more
