Everything here was great. The mozzarella sticks were some of the best I've had and the salad was hittin. Only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars was that the pizza itself was much saltier than we were expecting. perhaps it was the use of capicola or guanciale that made it saltier. However overall I would come back to try more! Also the service here was quick and thy were very kind. Ambiance was very packed and it was busy evening so it was quite loud but the retro vibes were nice.
Bar style pizza pies with extremely thin crusts are the go to item here. There's parking in front of the restaurant. The interior is very casual with booth seating and a bar. Their burrata is fine, and comes with some toast. The bar pies are very thin. The toppings are decent quality and the crust is fairly thin. My only complaint is that the bottom crust is burned in places and they need to clean their oven. The taste is solid and it's a cool pizza spot that doesn't copy the other styles (Neapolitan and New York) that is in town.
(3/5) Maybe it's just me, but Houston really knows how to hype up restaurants sometimes. First off, parking was a mess. To be fair, I think Nando's is in the Heights area, so that's somewhat expected, but it's still worth mentioning if you're planning a visit. The restaurant itself is super cute and definitely has a great vibe. The service was excellent from start to finish, and I can absolutely see why people enjoy hanging out here, especially if you're grabbing drinks with friends. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part of the experience. As for the food... it was just okay. We ordered wings, which had an interesting flavor. They were good, but not in a way that had me wanting more. We also got a pesto pizza, and while it was manageable, it was extremely salty. The second pizza was pepperoni with jalapeños, but the jalapeños were surprisingly dull and didn't add much flavor at all. The standout item for us was actually the Caesar salad. It was fresh, flavorful, and honestly the best thing we ordered. We each had a Coke, ordered a few items, and somehow the bill ended up close to $100, which felt pretty steep for what we got. The food wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't memorable enough to justify the price point. One thing I noticed: a lot of people were ordering the Funghi pizza. It's not really my thing, but it seemed to be one of the most popular items in the restaurant. Overall, I'm glad I tried it. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the space itself is beautiful. The food just wasn't giving what we expected based on all the hype.
The pizza is great as expected. But the dish that keeps us coming back is the wings. They are a must try. Great bar buzz. 10/10.
Food was amazing. Drink was great. Service was A1. Especially since it was our first time, our server definitely helped us out. Ambiance was a vibe. Music was on 1. Hit after hit and they have arcade games!¡ Will be going back in the near future.
Tried the Meat Head pizza and a sandwich called "Da Bomb." I wanted to order some wings, but at $15 for 6 wings, I passed this time. The menu has a decent selection of foods. The location is great, and the ambiance is cool and retro with background music. Inside, there is no TV at the bar, but they do have a few games you can play. The place itself has a cool retro vibe that anyone will like. The pizza was great fresh and hot. It's a thin crust, kind of greasy, but no big deal. It was great until about the middle part, where it started tasting a little too salty, so I stopped there but it's still good. The sandwich, though, I highly recommend. It's full of flavor and very tasty. I didn't get anything to drink, but people around me all had some nice looking drinks. Overall, the vibe inside is great. The pizza was okay, but the sandwich was the best. Great place to visit if you're a pizza lover definitely get the sandwich. the pizza $25 sandwich $18 Total about $47
So we visited this place, Nonna's because my husband wanted some pizza. And he loves thin crust pizza. You cannot get any thinner than their pizza. And it is delicious. But the first time we went in looking for pizza and we saw the menu we had to order the Osso Buco. You just hit it with a fork and it falls apart. It was so tasty and so tender. They had it sitting on polenta it was incredible. I got the mushroom risotto. That was really good. I love risotto and it had such good flavor and texture. Our little waitress Andrea, was so sweet. If you come in, ask for her, she was so accommodating and so helpful. And we went back a second time and we got the pizza. We got to do it half-and-half and it fed four of us. We also got the Badda Bing Wings. They were so good. Very crispy. We got the garlic and vinaigrette dip with the bread. That was really good, but it had big chunks of garlic in it. I loved the mozzarella sticks. They were huge and you get five of them. My picture only shows three because they couldn't wait for me to get a picture of it. They had to take them. And let me tell you that cheese was so light. Usually when I get mozzarella sticks it's thick and it's gummy and no these were delicious and big. For dessert the first time I tried the orange dream cheesecake. Which was like an orange dream sickle with a sugared orange peel on top. Yum. My husband got the big old brick of chocolate cake. It took him two days to eat it it was so good. Then on the second day, we got the potato chip chocolate chip cookie. You talk about sweet and salty and savory. And it was loaded with chocolate chips. So good. The parking is a little small, but if you can get in here, you need to go visit them. It's such a cute quirky looking little place. They have good wines and beers on tap. I got the last bottle of a very good Cabernet from Mexico. But definitely definitely worth the trouble to go see this place.
My love for Nonno's has no words, but here goes. Just know that I love tavern style, cracker thin crust. If I had a date night here, I'd make sure to lady and the tramp the mozzarella sticks every single time. It's just that fucking good. Add a little drizzle of ranch for that oomph or a dibble dabble of marinara and have a dance. Get it every time. The fungus among us has flavors that marry so well, that it's orgasmic. Definitely not for the weak. You'd need a palate cleanser after each slice. But it's just that good. Trust. Easily the top flavor that I've ever had in my life. Not into the fungus among us, no worries. You can't go wrong with the meat head or the wise guy. mwuah good ole crispy edges, perfectly portioned greasy pepperoni cup, on a cracker thin crust. The seasonal cheesecake is so good, that I think about it all the fucking time. All. The. Time. The vibes of Nonno's brings you back to the 90s of the Pizza Hut commercials of seated family dinners at the restaurant, but with breadsticks and pizza. Oh, and there's no phone. BUT, you can order online. It's kid friendly, so you gotta tolerate it, or you won't be able to understand the love for Nonno's. They have 4 old school games. pinball, Pac-Man, and a couple I can't think of the top of my head. But you get the gist. The lighting is so nostalgic, that it just hits right. I'd be devastated if Nonno's ever close. I'd lose my fuckin' mind.
My boyfriend took me here for a date night last Saturday. Neither of us had been before so we really didn't know what to expect. I'm already a fan of the food at Toasted Coconut so I figured it couldn't be bad. To start, we ordered the mozzarella sticks because our server said they're one of the restaurant's most popular items. They came with both a regular marinara and a spicy marinara. The spicy one wasn't really my favorite taste wise but the regular marinara was delicious. And the cheese pull on those mozzarella sticks was CRAZYYYYY! I see why they're popular. For our mains, we shared a buffalo chicken pizza and an order of the potato gnocchi. Honestly the pizza was large enough that we probably didn't need the gnocchi but we wanted to try a few different dishes. Their pizzas come in a thin crispy crust and are cut into squares which I actually loved because you don't end up feeling overly stuffed from all the bread. The buffalo chicken pizza was super tasty. The buffalo sauce had a nice kick and was super tangy! The potato gnocchi was also fantastic. It came in a pesto sauce with goat cheese which is always a winning combination for me. The flavors worked so well together and the gnocchi itself was so freaking soft and pillowy. The service was okay. Our server was attentive at the beginning but once the food arrived we didn't see much of her until we flagged her down to bring the check. Nothing terrible but it definitely was not memorable. What really stood out to me was the atmosphere. The space is super hip with dim lighting, cool decor, and great music playing. The vibe alone makes it worth visiting! Overall, we had a great meal and a really fun date night. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Really impressed with everything about this pizzeria. Love the decor, from the Pizza Hut table lights to the arcade games. Everything was very clean. Service wise, one word... amazing. Very nice people. The food, I think I saved the best for last. The salad was very good. One of the better Caesar salads I've had. The pizza, well I rarely eat more than two slices and i demolished my half. The place was so good. Wish I was a local and could bring my kids.
Delicious pizza! We came as a huge group quite late at night with no reservations, so it was so kind of the restaurant to accommodate us. All the pizzas hit! So tasty, perfect for our quick Houston visit
Came in on a wed night and was seated immediately. Dress code: casual, came in gym attire Food 5/5: Ordered the fungus amoung us pizza, chopped salad, wings and bean dip. Everything tasted great, wings were slightly spicy and very savory, probably my favorite tonight. Service 5/5: very friendly and helpful, super knowledgeable about the menu and very professional. Accommodating when we noticed some condensation dripping at our first seat. Ambiance 4/5: rustic Italian wooden feel, quite liked the overall vibes but docked a point for the condensation that dripped down on us at the table we were first seated at, but were quickly shifted to another table when we pointed it out Value 4/5: very good portion sizes for a good price. Overall 4.5/5: very much enjoyed it the 2 times I've been here. Will be back to try other pizza toppings. Great service and food and pretty good ambiance and value Parking: is a nightmare. Small parking lot that is always full as it is shared by a couple other restaurants that are pretty popular
Nonno's was definitely a "no no" for me. The experience started off rough because we waited over 20 minutes before anyone even came to our table. I ordered the mozzarella sticks with ranch, but the ranch never came out. The portion was also pretty small for the price. The service overall was very slow, and while the interior ambiance looked nice, it was so loud inside that it was hard to even have a conversation. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and it took over 30 minutes to come out, and honestly the quality was pretty mediocre compared to other pizza spots I've had. Parking is also difficult since it's very crowded and finding a spot can be a challenge.
Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the thin, crispy tavern-style pizza, exceptional mozzarella sticks, and retro, lively ambiance.

Listennnnn... Nonno's was a YES YES!! The food tastes like it's made with love and the ambiance has a vintage 80's, pizza tavern nostalgia that attracts a crowd as diverse as the cocktail menu. The service was great, the music was a vibe - picture enjoying comfort food + cocktails with friends while Xscape, Mariah Carey, and Usher are bellowing above you. I had the build your own pizza with Broccoli + Basil, and it was so cheesy and well seasoned that I had to ration my slices to keep from inhaling it. Our margaritas had enough tequila that Don Julio would be proud, the ladies restroom was clean which is a huge bonus, & the hostesses were super friendly. The parking lot fills up quickly so be prepared to walk a block or two, which you'll need to burn off the carbs. Def coming back to try the Pepperoni w/Ricotta pizza which looked like artistry. Enjoy! read more

We came in on a weeknight about 9. Place was more than half full. We were greeted & seated promptly. We ordered the chopped salad as a starter and shared that among the three of us. Salad was very delicious. Next we ordered two pizzas, Meathead & Fungus among us. Both were very good and I would order them again. But to be honest my favorite was the mushroom pizza. The place was neatly setup with a reel to reel playing the music kinda cool. I would make the hour trip to come back here. read more
Wow!!! This has to be some of the best pizza in town! It is so thin and crispy... the sauce is delicious! We also had the mozzarella sticks, wings, focaccia, and the pasta of the day. Everything was delicious! All of the employees that we encountered were very friendly. The restaurant itself is pretty neat and has a lot of vintage flair to it. My only two criticisms are: it's LOUD.. the music was so loud there was a lot of repeating ourselves and they didn't have high chairs. Other than that, we loved it and will be back! read more

First time visiting Nonno's and had a great experience. Went on a Tuesday night and there was a fairly large crowd but we didn't have to wait for a table. We split a large meat sweats pizza and it was solid. Crispy tavern style with a sweet sauce. The atmosphere was really cool with an 80s style vibe. At times, the service lacked and it was a little confusing who our actual waitress was, but they were attentive when they needed to be. Overall great place for a little date night. If they opened one in the Heights it would be a perfect fit. read more

Love this pizza spot, it's owned by the same owners of toasted coconut and nobies! We came by on a Saturday night and waited 45 minutes for a table, but went to toasted coconut next door to have a drink while waiting. Got the ribeye Detroit style pizza, mozzarella sticks, and Oreo peppermint cheesecake. Loved the mozzarella sticks, some of the best I've had! Highly recommend getting the Larry sauce to dip them in, it's a spicy marinara. The cheesecake was divine too. The pizza was good, but could have had more meat on it. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Had high hopes for this restaurant but it was just okay. All of the pizzas were overcooked. This really took away from the flavors. All had been left in the oven way too long had a bit of a burnt taste to him so it took away from all the toppings and made it not taste like very much. Out of all the pizzas the Meathead was the best. As far as the ambience it was okay. The bar area was too small so it had just a restaurant feel. Before restaurant it was extremely loud and you had to shout to talk to people sitting next to you. If it's going to be loud like that at least give me a dance floor. I will say the music was a lot of fun. They were playing things I have not heard in years so it was fun Reminiscing on all of the songs. Again if you're going to blast them give me a floor to dance on. Also the restaurant is brand new so they are completely confused and disorganized when dealing with groups. They don't know how to handle tabs. They are clueless on what they can do as far as splitting checks. Have a long way to go in that area. Unfortunately it looks like I will not be heading back. No one at my table said they wanted to come back that way. I was in a group of 15 people. We had to be split up into multiple tables. They don't have anything to accommodate large groups. But that is not the reason for us not returning. It was the burnt pizza. It was really lackluster. So much potential. Was really hoping that it could be a good representation of Chicago Tavern style pizza and unfortunately it did fall short. read more

Absolutely amazing! 10 stars. As a St Louis transplant, I have been searching for a cracker thin crust pizza similar to imo's Pizza. Finally, after living in Houston for 15 years, I learned about Nonno's and decided to give them a try via Postmates (now owned by UberEats). O-M-G! The crispy thin crust, the assortment of cheeses, meats, and vegetables ---- amazing! I ordered a byo (build your own) cheese pizza and added pepperoni, sausage, soppressata, confit garlic, green olives, red onions, and extra raclette and mozzarella cheeses. The pizza was delivered quickly and the very large white box included a tamper resistant seal, which I really appreciated. Granted, Imo's Pizza in St. Louis uses provel cheese (a regional cheese comprised of cheddar, swiss, and provolone) which is not found outside of St. Louis/Illinois, so the cheese is much different, but NONNOS is truly in a class by themselves. I love the authentic Italian toppings and the pizza taste is fresh, hearty, and delicious! Like Imo's, the pizza was also pricey at $42, but fortunately I had two gift cards and a $20 postmates discount. I am in love and I will be a return customer!!! read more

I loved everything about this place, nostalgic vibes all around! The decor echoes is classic family pizza joint from the 90's, the music is straight fire, the staff is so friendly and the food is great! It's family friendly but could totally be a super cute date night spot as well theres a trendy little bar next door for after dinner cocktails! They also have NA options on the menu which I totally love as a sober curious girly! The NA Spritz was delightful!! Opens at 5pm come early they get packed but the outside is heated when its cold! Don't sleep on this pizza joint, it's totally worth it! read more

We tried Nonno's on a Friday night at 6:30. I suppose I should have known that this is prime time but I wasn't expecting an hour wait for pizza. The place was really crowded and loud so we could not get to the bar. Fortunately, the place next door, the Toasted Coconut, had bar seating so we spent our wait there. (Drinks here were delicious, but let's save that for another review.) When we finally got seated, we ordered the mozzarella sticks and they were really good. We ordered the Meathead pizza to share and it was crispy. I have no complaints about the food. I just didn't think it was worth the hour wait. Just pizza and mozzarella sticks, no biggie. Also, the place seemed a little confused on decor and the pinball machines didn't even work. Not on my list of favs. read more

Pizza is "tavern style" - thin & cut in squares. A flavorless pepperoni pizza is $19. Very hard to call it pizza, more like flatbread. 5 Mozzarella sticks are $14 and they taste just like the frozen Farm Rich brand. Cavatelli $21 (Italian sausage, kale & cipollini onions) Awful, slimy & had no onions Our waiter kept pushing the mussels - so strange! Wait staff definitely pressures guests to over ordered. Happened to us & the table next to us. Also they want you in & out. No for Nonno's read more

Finally some tavern style thin pizza here in Houston. Everyone was super nice and the pizza was pretty good. We also ordered the Caesar salad which was huge and shareable. They also have a mini arcade for the kiddos. read more

Ah, the pizza experience transcends borders, marrying the rich Italian heritage with the bold flavors of America. Each slice is a nostalgic journey through generations, a symphony of tomato sauce, melted cheese, and a crispy crust that whispers tales of culinary fusion. It's a savory legacy that captures the essence of both worlds in a single, delicious bite. Like my cousin Vinny would usually say the parking can be difficult, but that's just Montrose. read more

Nonnos is a wonderful date night spot or a family-friendly establishment. It's unique in that way. My husband and I enjoyed a cozy evening at Nonnos after reading that they won "Best Pizza Joint" by Esquire. While getting into the restaurant parking lot was a hassle, we were able to get a table right away. The parking situation isn't ideal. There is valet but even then the parking lot was full when we arrived around 5. We ordered the Meat Head and Broccoli Garlic and both were excellent. The crust was a bit on the crusty/burnt side for my liking. My husband LOVED the thin, crunchy crust. Both tables beside us got the mozzarella sticks and they looked amazing. The flavors on both pies were great but I preferred the Meat Head. Service wise, everything was great. Our waiter was friendly and gave us a heads up that the wait would be a little long. Everyone there seemed to be on top of everything and they had a good rhythm going. I enjoyed the ambiance and lighting. It felt very retro and cozy. read more
