My friend recommended this place for my bday as we were bringing our kids. My husband is old school and called to make reservations no answer. He brought we flowers and cake the would not put the cake in the fridge for us and to serve the cake it would be additional cost. No bday candle for my additional price nor did they sing happy bday or take a pic. Also they can not spilt check which is super awkward. Food was good but service and the lack of was poor!!! read more

This was my second time coming here and both times were amazing. I came here on a Saturday night with 2 friends without a reservation. The parking by lot was full and there is street parking. We were told it would be a 20 min wait, but actually ended up waiting less than that. While we waited, we ordered drinks at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and the drinks were great! Our server was really great and attentive coming to check on us a few times. We ordered Mozz sticks, crispy potatoes, meat head pizza, and cacio e Pepe. I'm still thinking about those crispy potatoes days later! The creamy garlic dip was amazing! The meat head pizza was very meaty and the cacio e people was very peppery. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. Love this place! read more

So happy I finally made it here!! By the same people who own Toasted Coconut next door, this place has a fun retro vibe. Service is great and the food is fun. Pizzas are tavern style. Mozz sticks were my fave, so crispy on the outside with excellent cheese pull. Wish there were more in an order hahah. Tried 2 of the pizzas and both were delish. Fungus among us was savory full of yummy mushroom flavor. The saag paneer one was surprising, very different but very good! Never had a pizza with those toppings before. I also tried one of their cocktails which was pricey but tasty. I appreciate that there are great vegetarian options for the pizzas as both the ones we tried are vegetarian friendly! Would love to come back and try more of the menu! And for the mozz sticks read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere and the Moz sticks at the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, their signature Chicago Tavern pizza was just okay. To be honest, I didn't like the taste because it was too salty for me. I ended up drinking water all night to help with the saltiness. I believe this is not a place to return to. read more

Thumbs Up: The staff was polite during my brief interaction. Thumbs Up: I appreciated the convenience of the walk-up window for order pickups. Thumbs Up: My online order was ready right when I arrived, which was great. Thumbs Down: Unfortunately, the pizza itself wasn't impressive. The overall flavor reminded me of a frozen pizza from a grocery store, though the Italian sausage added a nice texture. Thumbs Up: I did like how crispy the thin crust was compared to other pizza places. Thumbs Down: However, the quality and size of the pizza did not justify the price--over $30 for just one thin-crust pizza. Thumbs Down: Additionally, the restaurant significantly increases prices for online orders compared to their in-store menu (pictured). Prices also vary across different ordering platforms. While the differences likely account for service fees, some of these markups seem excessive. read more

First, I'm from the inner city of Chicago. I grew up in the late 40's and 50's. During that time we never saw/ate what is called "Chicago Style Pizza, -thick crust. We had a thinner crispy crust. Nonno's is the closest I have been able to come to the taste and type of pizza I remember and enjoy. The sauce is also slightly but not overly tangy. The mozzarella sticks are excellent and the price is reasonable. Definitely recommend and do return frequently! read more

Excellent dinner entrees, great service and what a neat ambiance. The old reel to reel tape deck played current and music back from the 70's and 80's. What a neat vibe! You won't be disappointed. read more

First time here! Came around 10:30pm, and it just so happen to be during reverse happy hour ( Select Games are free, $1 off wine by the glass and half off wings - they closed at 12). Everything was amazing. The wings were delicious, crispy and very fresh. Our waitress was very kind and helped us pick out wine by each of preferred taste . We got a rosé and an orange! ( we said we liked Prosecco and Riesling - they had no Riesling ) For entree's we got the Risotto and an off the menu Carbonara pasta ! Both were amazing and perfect for the chilly weather. I definitely suggest to check this place out. It wasn't too busy and the music was great the night we came! Service , food quality , ambience , and entertainment were all 5/5! Games included Pac-Man near the bathroom, 3 pin ball machines and Rampage . read more

Who runs out of pizza at 7:30pm when you're open till midnight? The only other time I was there it took an hour to get our food because they admitted they accidentally gave our food to another table. No thanks read more

This place is absolutely delicious! The pizza is very good but the badabing wings are AMAZING! The servers are usually very friendly and the service is great. My only complaint would be that it is ridiculously loud in there. As in you might need to yell at the person across from you loud. No idea why they always have the music blaring but it would be a nice experience with lower music. We usually try to scarf out food down to get out, but maybe that's their point lol read more

If you like thin crust pizza this is the place! Great wings and cheese stick. Very friendly good service!!

This is one of my new favorite spots. If you're like me and love 80's and early 90's R&B and pop music. Think all the radio hits from that time this is the place for you. It's Chicago style thin crust pizza. I love it although my daughter who is 12 not so much. I have had the pizza. The chicken piccata and the pasta de Pepe (sp) all were good. It's very family friendly and even has a few pinball and old school video games. I will definitely be back read more

I came here to eat for the first time a few days ago. We'd eaten at the nearby Toasted Coconut a few times and always saw this place doing a steady business. So we figured that the food had to be pretty good. We arrived at 5 on a Monday night and despite the place looking quite full, we got a seat quickly. The place had a somewhat out of touch ambiance to it. A weird blend of table settings and Pizza Hut light fixtures that made me think that the owners had learned first about what a pizza place was while listening to NPR, but had yet to actually go to one. Monday is their all day happy hour and the arcade games sprinkled about the place are free. We weren't waiting long for our waiter and the service was speedy. Prices is this place's real Achilles heal. Despite it being happy hour, beer ran 7-8 bucks. This place is open late, which would make it a nice after the bar place to stop for a pie and couple more beers before heading home, if the prices for two beers wouldn't cost you almost as much as a pie. Pizzas ran around 20 for a pie, and they were on the smaller, thinner side. Wings were half off on Monday, but an order of 6 runs 13 dollars. It's hard to sell me out the gate that a wing with one flavor option is going to be so good it warrants a 2.25 price tag per wing. We ordered one custom pizza and one little green saag, and they were tasty. However, they did feel more like a flatbread than a pizza. Wings were also tasty. Good crisp outside and juicy inside. The house made ranch that came with the wings I will say was odd. It felt like a mashup of ranch and blue cheese with a disappointing result. If you don't like both ranch and blue cheese, you wont enjoy this. Additional cups of it will be a 1.50 up charge. While the overall food quality and service was good - It just felt like we paid a higher price for a smaller amount of food than we got at other pizza places. I'd eat here again, but wouldn't be quick to suggest it to someone looking for a pizza place that won't break the bank. read more

The pizza and mozz sticks are phenomenal! The rest is awful. We arrive and are told it's a 20-25 minute wait. There are 4 groups ahead of us and I can see 4 empty tables, so we agree. They must be cleaning up those tables and the turn around will be quicker is what I thought. Nope. There were constantly 4 empty tables at a time during our visit. This tells me they are under staffing their shifts. We waited 30 minutes. During that 30 minutes my obviously pregnant (8 months) wife was offered alcohol 3 times. Then we got seated, and had to wait another 15 minutes before our server came to the table. By this time we know what we want. Our server instead wouldn't cut short her speech about their specials and went into heavy, heavy detail about their alcohol. Now my wife is still obviously pregnant at this point. The atmosphere is leaning towards a club in a boomer mom's kitchen. The music and decor came out of the late 80s early 90s. It felt like sitting at the breakfast table at home when I was a kid except the music is so loud that you can't have a conversation without raising you voice to an uncomfortable level or invading other's personal space. There's a mini arcade, which is cool I guess. Then it's time to leave. We've been there for for about an hour and a half and want to go, but no there's another speech and a push about desserts. We were more than ready to go by this point. In short this should be a 1 star review, but the food is awesome. If you choose to come, get takeout. read more

Parking- good amount! Decor and ambiance- great! Lots of cool games to play. We kept saying how this is a great date night/first date spot! Service- super friendly! Roasted potato app- 4.5-5, really great! Pizzas: 2/5, a little on the expensive side. Crust was very flat and thin, and didn't hold the rest of the pizza well imo. It gave cracker energy. Was really expecting a lot, but was super disappointed, especially considering how many other great pizza places are in Houston now. One thing that caught our party off guard is that we charged for some ranch and hot sauce we asked for. It was a small charge, but we were not told this when we ordered. Most places give it out for free, so considering how expensive this pizza was, we were surprised. This place is a good spot but definitely overhyped. read more

Nonno's - Meat combo pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

The star of the menu is the mozzarella sticks app. Very cheesy and crunchy. Loved them. The spicy Larry's sauce was a good addition. The service was great. Very attentive waiters. The inside is cool. I loved the old school Pizza Hut chandeliers. We got the fungus pizza and it was burned on the edges but it was decent pizza. It had a mostly roasted onion flavor rather than mushroom. The Criss Angel sandwich was ok too. The beef was flavorful and tender but the vegetables on top were super tart, beyond pickled. There was so much of the vegetable mix on top that it made it hard to eat and over took the good beef and provolone cheese in the sandwich. I went for pasta but they don't sell pasta at lunch. I wish I had known this before we sat down. I left wishing I had ordered more of the mozzarella sticks. I'll come back and try the pasta and a different pizza or just order a few baskets of the mozzarella sticks! read more

Pizza is sooooo good. Cookies are sooooooo bad. Charcuterie board has no cheese . Overall (based upon the pizza alone) 4/5 but factoring in the other things it's somewhere closer to three. Would recommend the pesto pizza (build your own) read more

Have been waiting to get to this pizza spot for a while! Went on a Saturday & joined a small line about 10 min before open at 5 pm. We had a great table with a high chair for my toddler by 5:05, noticed a great time to arrive would be 5:15 as the initial flow of traffic has been seated. By 6 pm it was completely full! There's quite a bit of parking spots in the lot & limited street parking as well. The interior is a cool but very clean 80s vibe. Love the interior & the arcade games are a fun addition. All of the salads coming out looked absolutely delicious, to start we got the Caesar & loved it. We also ordered the mozzarella sticks which were good but neither my husband or myself were crazy about the smoky marinara they came with. For pizza, we got pepperoni. Now this is where we may have not realized the pizza we were signing up for. This is not New York style at all, it is a thin crust Chicago style. I personally found my plate dripping with oil from the pepperoni's because the dough is so thin. Nothing wrong from a taste standpoint but I do wish they offered a more traditional pizza as well as the very thin crust they are known for. Service was great, we were in and out in about an hour. Very sweet staff was extremely friendly & accommodating to my toddler. read more

First off the ambiance was really nice. Music was good. Vintage vibe was cool. The service was good. But the food was not the best. The price was too high for the quality of the pizza. The toppings tasted good but the crust was not good. read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The host was incredibly rude; speaking to us in a way that even my own father has never spoken to me. It took over 15 minutes just to get a server, and when they finally arrived, they were just as rude. The food was mediocre at best, but the awful service completely ruined the experience. And to make matters worse, this wasn't even our first bad experience here. On a previous visit, the bartender was drunk and told my best friend and me that we weren't his favorite customers. When we brought the manager over, she had to comp our meal and apologize for his nasty behavior. You'd think after that disaster they'd try to redeem themselves, but clearly, customer service is not a priority here. I would rather get strapped to the back of an F150 and dragged through Richmond than step foot in that miserable excuse for a restaurant! read more

Not a fan of the cracker crust pizza and Wishh they had regular or pan pizza but the service is a million out of ten! The gentleman was so nice! I would come back and try the pastas read more

These reviews have me chuckling. Mostly true: wait is crazy; they don't have a phone (huh??), only cocktails on the menu, no full bar...and yet, I'll be back! We sat at the bar and had a BYO and the green pizza. The green was so dang good. And good the next day, warmed over. The stand out was the cheesecake (plain, not tiramisu). So good, I went and picked one up to-go a few days later. Love the Pizza Hut lamps and the playlist (it wasn't THAT loud). If you manage your expectations, you'll have a nice lil time. We got the margs and they were scrong! Two word review: get cheesecake read more

Vibes are dog friendly & immaculately 80's pizza parlor. Service was spectacular. Food was good, but I'd order different dishes next time. We ordered the mushroom pizza (I am a fiend for shrooms), mussels, and Caesar salad. Caesar salad was the best I've ever had. Mussels were not much of a hit for me, and I'd most likely order a red sauce pizza next time. Crust was crispaaay as promised. read more

Nonno's - Mussels, Caesar salad, mushroom pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food comes out quick! It's a nice 80s vibe pizza bar. I like the toys at the bar shelf. The music was all throwback. The food: the pizzas are like a very thin crust, reminded me of eating crackers. Tasty. The potatoes were ok, could use more flavor instead of relying on the sauce. The wings were great, it was like Italian seasoned wings. The mozzarella were crispy and gooey and hot. The Caesar salad was ok, dressing wasn't as flavorful as I personally like it but the croutons were really hard, I was getting jaw pain. But they give you big pieces of anchovies. The chopped salad however was my favorite. It was just refreshing and just how I like it. Overall it would be a fun date spot. There's a few arcade machines. But the music can be very loud making it hard to have conversations if you're a soft speaker. Would return. read more

Visited on a busy Wednesday evening. This spot is definitely family friendly - cool 90s music, trolls (the doll; not people) hiding all over the restaurant to keep kids busy. The ambiance was definitely a fun vibe, but the food was not my favorite. Despite being warned by our waiter that that the pizza was cracker thin, it was still a let down. They use a 120 year old starter for pizza dough that doesn't rise - the toppings were good, the sauce was sweeter than I prefer. Overall, the pizza was okay, just not my ideal pizza dough texture. We ordered the Caesar salad - that was incredible. Highly recommend. We also ordered the cacio e pepe - the noodle texture was perfect, but there wasn't enough cheese or salt for it to taste like anything other than a bowl of carbs. It was also already congealing a little when it arrived. Would go back for the atmosphere, not the food. read more

Place is nice. Looks the part. Servers are nice and respectful. Pizza was not very good. Mediocre.

What a fun little place! Husband and I decided to go there, and I knew they opened at 5 pm, so we arrived about 12 minutes early and were the second in line. By 5 pm, there were easily over 40 people waiting to get in, so I am glad we got here a little early! The decor is very 1970's/early 1980's Pizza Hut, they even have some old Pizza Hut pendant lights. It reminded me of your childhood going to Pizza Hut and the pizza was no different. An ultra thin crust, it literally took me back to my youth. It was fantastic and not as filling as other pizzas because of this! We ordered the pepperoni and added mushrooms (this is a $9 upcharge but I had no issue with this at all). For dessert we got the pumpkin cheesecake. Light and airy, it was so tasty but after 2 bites I was dunzo. I loved the crust, it was gingerbread if I am not mistaken. Given how busy this place was, they handled service very well! I believe our server was Lily and she was attentive and cool. **They do not have any diet sodas or tea, only sugar sodas including Mexican Coke.** They have valet parking or you can park on the street alongside (they said they have another lot but I am not sure where it was as I valeted). Overall this was highly enjoyable and we will be back. read more

Very cool atmosphere with a retro and bit of a gaming vibe. Loud music (went on a Friday night). Came with two others and got sat right away but did wait about 6 mins before someone greeted our table. That's okay, it happens. We asked if they could turn the music down because we were shouting to hear each other. She basically said ":\ sorry no" which I get, I'm sure it's not her choice. The pizza was decent but for the price I was hoping for better. It was quite expensive. We thought about getting an app but mozzarella sticks were $15. Yikes. The pizza is veryy thin. The pepperoni pizza tasted slightly better than a frozen pizza. The Peter Lambo pizza ($25) was quite good. We asked another server if she could turn down the music (a bit annoying of us, but we weren't having a great time) and she said she'd ask but nothing changed. Whoever is in charge of the music, please turn it down. Overpriced pizza with friends is okay sometimes but definitely not in an establishment where I can't hear the folks I came with. Maybe I'm old. But it's too loud. read more

It felt like you stepped into 90s dinner with good music and scent of delicious pizza. Restaurant captures the essence of the 90s either its vibrant decor, retro menu cards, and vintage arcade games. Menu is pretty straight forward! From the traditional cheese to their custom make your own pizza options, there is something for everyone's appetite! We ordered their build your own veggie, classic cheese pizza and their mozzarella sticks which were most order! Perfect about of crispness and their sauce pairing was perfect! The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside. Toppings are fresh, and well balanced about of cheese to sauce ratio. No matter which pie you order, you're in for a treat. The staff is friendly and will help you navigate through the menu with any questions of yours and help you decide based on your preferences. Parking is little challenging as it shares it with other restaurants in the area so street parking is available around the corner if the lot of occupied. My only advice to those reading is, get there early! They sell out quickly and wait time do get long for a table as you get into the evening hours especially if you come with large groups. Overall love the food and their overall concept! Will definitely be back again. read more

Nonno's is among the most puzzling Houston restaurant experiences I've had. The vibe is really confusing. On one hand, this feels like an inner loop Chuck E. Cheese with kids running around and a few arcade games. Unlike Chuck's, the games are limited, the food is expensive, there is an extensive cocktail menu, and they are open until midnight. To the good stuff -- the mozzarella sticks are out of this world. Easily the best sticks in Houston and paired with a spicy dipping sauce. On the flip side, the pizzas are pretty mid. The tomato sauce was really not great. If you want a great thin crust, I'd look elsewhere. Much of my Nonno's experience was just small things that added up to big disappointment. They don't take reservations. They don't offer diet soft drinks or iced tea. The music is extremely loud, requiring you to shout at your party. The "build your own pizza" menu, starting at $14, does not include cheese, so it really starts at $16. Servers seem to be assigned tables all over the restaurant so there are long stretches that you are ignored. All of these are relatively easy fixes that would make this a much more pleasant place to dine. Maybe Nonno's is trying to be a classy version of Chuck's? After all, "Family Pizza Tavern" is in their name, so I cannot fault the family crowd for dropping by. On the other hand, I'm not sure the Montrose cocktail crowd at the two-seat tables want to be serenaded by kids running loops around the restaurant. Food aside, I couldn't tell what Nonno's was trying to be. While I would order their mozzarella sticks, in bulk!, to-go -- I'm not sure I would dine in for another meal. read more

Great food at decent prices. The Balsamic Garlic is incredible, wish it came with more focaccia. The pizza was also very good, loved the crisp on the crust. This place is often packed (I have been there twice), so if you're not a fan of crowds, this won't be great for you. Parking is also tight. read more

The only descent thing on the menu are the mozzarella sticks. Pizza was less than average and over priced. This is the second time that I visited a restaurant based on Eat Like A Local's TV show and the food has been very bad, but I know food can be subjective but when 2 other family members feel the same way I guess I can't be wrong. read more

When we walked in it was a little more retro hipster casual than we anticipated based on other reviews and their website. The food and service was excellent. They have vintage Pizza Hut lampshades over a couple tables and old video games. We had a blast last night. We had the meat head pizza with roasted garlic added... so much garlic, they measured with their hearts for sure. The mozzarella sticks were worth the time just by themselves. read more

I went to Nonno's with a party of 4 on a Friday night and there were several good and not-so great aspects of the experience. 1. The wait was over an hour. I almost gave it 3 stars for this because that's a bit wild (to be exact it was 1:15 wait) but it was raining heavily that night so patios were closed and also I think this speaks to how good the food is. 2. If you're stuck waiting you can go to the tiki bar next door for a beverage. Fast service good cocktails. 3. The parking lot is small. There is valet, but the wait to get into the parking lot and leaving my car with a valet was another 10 mins in waiting. 4. The restaurant vibe is a mix between Indie retro diner and Pizza Hut. Music was a bit loud but overall it was nice, clean, and a good experience. 5. The food (pizzas) were really good. I did a byop and tried the broccoli pizza and both were fantastic. Would definitely come back for that. But one thing to be aware of is that you can't alter the dedicated pizza menu. So overall the experience was good. If the things cited above are a regular occurrence (wait, parking, etc) this restaurant is definitely 3 stars, but I'm giving this the benefit that it was a freak weather night and going with 4. Food and staff were great! read more

Personally I wouldn't eat here again. They don't live up to their prices. Came here on a Sunday and the vibe was nice. It has a retro aesthetic pleasing to the eyes. Walking in feels as if you are 80s time traveling. Pizza was good but could use more flavor (seasoning) 7/10 Taylor street Rita was strong and I was tipsy off one drink!!! 9/10 Vanilla bean cheesecake for desert tastes like a regular cheesecake. The sauce on top didn't provide any additional flavor and a garnish would help sell it more as a vanilla. 5/10 read more

Cool vibe. Love the reel to reel. We had the mushroom and meathead pizzas. Totally different, but equally delicious. Service was lovely.

This restaurant has an awesome interior and atmosphere. The playlist is so fun and the layout just feels so nostalgic. It is walk in only, so no reservations but we only waited about 30 mins or so. The staff is super friendly and they do offer bar service while you wait. Now let's get into the food.... Mozzarella Sticks were ok, they were a bit too big for me but the cheese pull was top tier. Caesar salad was good, but there was a bit too much parsley mixed in. The wings were also good. Lastly, the pizza was good, served on a cracker thin crust so take that into consideration if you prefer something thicker. They do serve individual slices on focaccia bread. Overall the atmosphere alone would definitely allow me to visit this place again. read more
