Such good pizza!!! The tomato sauce is fantastic, the cheese and the crust are perfection. The owner makes a fantastic dough for the pizza and paninis. The crunch of the dough is perfect. The pizzas are perfect for one person but small enough that you can order a couple to try different ones. I just wish there were more hours!
I don't typically feel compelled to write a review for any particular place, but Chef Andrea changed my mind. You can immediately tell when you talk with him that he carries a deep passion for his food and truly cares for every one of his customers. We got there early in the morning around 10, and we were their first customers for the day. Walking into the gate, we were met by the sweetest waitress ever. She took the time to really make sure we were taken care of, even though she was the only server. Whether if it was explaining the menu to us or just simply checking up on us, she got the job done. One of the kindest services that you will see. While we were waiting on our food, Andrea (the owner) came over to our table and thanked us for stopping by. He explained how tough it has been ever since one person left a bad review, which according to him, was not even true. I cannot believe how anyone would ever leave a bad review after getting to know how friendly Chef Andrea was. Even if it was true, I'm certain based on his personality alone that he would make things right. On top of such outstanding service, the food made everything even better. First off, I love the fact that all of their prices on the menu are very reasonable. With the help of the waitress, we got their two most popular pizzas: the Burrata and Matriciana. Both were amazing, especially the Burrata, which was our favorites. The arugula in combination with the creamy burrata cheese really enhanced the flavors. My personal favorite part were the pizza dough. By far one of the best I've had in Houston. The dough was baked incredibly well. Super airy, light, and crispy. We also got their coffees and maritozzos, both of which were good, but definitely pales in comparison to their pizzas. Our experience at ORG Pizza Garden was one of the best we've had in a while. It is probably in contention for one of the best pizzas I've had here in Houston. Even though this place is quite the trip for me, with how amazing everything was, I will for sure be making my way back here.
amazing pizza fresh dough and you can definitely taste the fresh tomato sauce ! 10/10 recommend!
Finally made it to ORG Pizza Garden and so glad we did! The burrata pizza was SO delicious. Maybe the best pizza in the city for me. I loved the fresh ingredients and the crust was wonderful, of course. I wasn't sure about seating and didn't want to sit outside. The indoor seating was great. The owner is so friendly and wanted to be sure everything was enjoyable. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.
The food here is wonderful. The Burrata pizza is light and fresh. The Panini is a bounty of flavor. One of the best little places for a Sunday lunch
This place is fantastic! I had a tasty Burrata and Arugala pizzetta, and an excellent farciti, which was like a pizza-bread stuffed with prosciutto and brie with balsamic glaze. For dessert I had a delicious maritozzo, which was a light pastry sliced down the middle then smeared with cream and topped with nutella. Friendly service and true Roman cuisine.
Excellent meal, nice people, quick service. I arrived ~11am with no wait and plenty of seating, inside and out. Had the burrata w/arugula pizza and the peach balsamic ice cream. I could eat only half of each and took the rest home for dinner. I've been reading about this Sunday-only place on a local foodies group, and my expectations were high. The real-life experience did not disappoint. The crust was perfect, the ingredients fresh. The ice cream was unexpected, and I liked it. Soft and creamy, not as fluffy as whipped cream, but it kinda strikes that chord. The peach taste was not super strong through the creamy taste, and yet it was really, really good. I had a 20-minute drive with leftovers, and I was afraid of the ice cream melting because of that soft texture, but it made it just fine. I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors, and I'm going earlier next time to try to snag a berry maritozzi before they're sold out. Yes, this is a pop-up style place in a warehouse-type parking lot, but the outdoor picnic tables are shaded and there's a nice air-conditioned indoor seating area, too. It's not a glamorous set-up, but it's plenty comfy. Sunday mornings are made for this place. The "warehouse" is where they make the frozen pizzas sold via Spec's downtown and other places, the waitress told me when I asked. Gonna have to try those, too, for non-Sunday morning eating. Lol Can't wait for dinner leftovers. Literally... I've already snuck a few bites of each, so I'm not sure the leftovers will last until dinner. :-) I was so intent on eating, I neglected to take pics outside of the ice cream (after a couple of bites!) and the current menu. Oops.
Delicious Roman style pizza cooked in an Italian oven. The panini is super yummy freshly baked dough stuffed with prosciutto, mozzarella & arugula. Matritiana pizza is a rich tomato sauce with bacon, mozzarella and grated pecorino. They have hand made pastries & homemade ice cream which is rich & creamy. The pizza place is a pop up style serving delicious treats only on the weekends! You can also get espresso & cappuccino! Come for breakfast or lunch they are only open from 9-2pm.

5/5. Definitely recommend: Probably my top 3 favorite pizza places in the Houston area. Service: fast, friendly, and personal. Food: tasted really good, quality ingredients, made-to-order, not greasy ( don't feel bad after eating it like with other pizza ). Ambiance: cool outside area, but a bit out of the way. Definitely a hidden gem. The pizzamaker is a man from Rome, Italy and seems passionate for baking bread and making Roman style pizza. Also a local business, which is cool. read more
Could this be the best pizza in Houston? I am beginning to think so. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Although his focaccia are available at Spec's, frozen, to bake at home at 450 F for 6 minutes, on Sundays, Chef Andrea prepares these exquisite Roman style pizzas from 9-2 at this location on Yale at Tidwell. And they are spectacular. Being a food geek, and loving the whole culinary anthropology thing, I've been lucky to have some amazing conversations with Chef Andrea about pizza. So much knowledge on its culinary history. He wants to move pizza to where it is treated with respect, not as a throwaway quick something something, but as a serious example of haute cuisine. And I'm right there with him. Side note: You will see a bad review here from Rami M. Read it carefully, as he chose to give a bad review based on his waiting time. But if you read more, you will see that the staff bent over backwards to make it right for him, comping his meal and giving him some frozen pizzas to take home. They went out of their way to make it right. read more
Wow, this place is amazing! Super under the radar spot that a friend brought me to. I think it's a pop-up that is only Sunday afternoons outside of Aroma Pizza (which is a pizza manufacturer that supplies local groceries). My friend heard about it from one of her Italian friends, and in fact the place seems to have become a bit of an Italian ex-pat hangout. They do a Roman style pizza, which I don't think is a style that is very much represented in Houston. The dough/crust is delicious, and has a bit more of a focaccia like quality to it. One of the more uniquely amazing things on their menu is there "farciti". It's almost like a sandwich, where the dough is wrapped around the fillings (maybe like an open faced calzone or panzerotti?). Either way, do yourself a favor and order some of these when you come for pizza - they are bomb! They are definitely masters of flour and dough, and it shows. An added bonus is that this place is BYOB with no corkage fee! They even provide glasses for you. What's better on a warm summer day than drinking beer or chilled wine while eating delicious pizza? They have tarps covering the area to shield you from the unforgiving Texas sun to make the heat more bearable. The place is family owned, and they are the nicest people ever. Last time I was there, he was going around chatting in Italian with all his regular customers, who all seem to know each other by name. Can't wait to be back in Houston so I can make this place part of my regular rotation! read more

WOW! Just wow, I'm speechless. The food here is absolutely amazing. I haven't been this impressed by food in a while. My family and I are so happy we have found the Diamond of a restaurant/food truck. Maritozzo are heavenly, the procuittio panini is to die for. My husband and I got to share and to be honest next weekend we will not be sharing with each other at all. We can't wait for more Houstonians to find out of this place so he can open the doors daily! Chef Andrea is a breath of fresh air. I. Wished we had found this spot sooner! read more
