To try something different, I scheduled my granddaughter's ninth birthday party at Napoli. It turned out to be a great decision as everyone loved the food, the wines and Peroni beer, and the service which kept the party going. The cool and comfortable atmosphere reminded me somewhat of my honeymoon in Italy many years ago. read more

Came here for a quick lunch, but the place was incredibly hot. They only had wall AC units and it could not keep the place the place cool at all. We had been sitting down for about 10 minutes before somebody came to attend us and you can tell they work overwhelmed with not enough attendance/servers to help with the flow of lunch. They did not have the seafood soup that I typically like for lunch and since they were taking so long to come around to take our order, we just went ahead and left to try something else. I will definitely try the Italian place up the road instead read more

Original Napoli - Before we decided to leave - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Exploring a great Italian and found this quaint place. As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted right away and got seated immediately. The chicken parmigiana was delightfully delicious with 2 large chicken breast. We also got the hot sausage & peppers as appetizer. I'd call this a hidden gem give the affordability if you want to bring the Italy ambiance with food. I have been to Florence & Milan. If you've been as well, you know Italy loves to just serve with meat red sauce and pasta is their authentic dish. Having protein is not common in Italy. I highly recommend you try this place at least once and you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years for their pizza. I had a friend who used to say he loved coming here because they had great crust, not thick, chewy, "mattress pizza". Awesome, awesome go-to local spot. Hole in the wall, family pizzeria type atmosphere. Friendly staff and back kitchen team. read more

First time there - tried it for lunch. Freshly baked bread comes before the meal with (what I believe to be) garlic in oil. Excellent! Our lunch consisted of Baked Ziti and Scallopine di Pollo (also side salads were served in advance of the main course). Scallopine was perfect - just loved it. I didn't try my friend's Baked Ziti, but she did like it. The owner came by and asked how everything was. Servicer was timely and courteous. I would definitely recommend the restaurant. Ample parking available. Note that lunch menu prices are $10-$14 depending - there's an online menu suggesting considerably higher lunch prices. read more

Always great! Best garlic rolls and the absolute best eggplant parm a person could ask for. How do you do it? Love the super thin slices and we always get angel hair pasta instead of the regular side. Love love love!! read more

We were in town visiting family and went to Napoli for dinner. It was a rainy evening, and the restaurant wasn't crowded. We were the only large table in restaurant, and our waitress was wonderfully attentive. The menu is relatively simple and filled with traditional Italian dishes. Everyone in our party ordered something different, and we shared tastes of each dish. Each dish was well done, and I would order anything on the menu again! It is nice to see a small neighborhood restaurant doing good things and serving dishes that are as good as dishes served in some of the restaurants in largely Italian sectors of cities around the country! Well done and we will definitely be back! read more

Totally recommend this place!!! Everything was delicious, i ordered the house salad and meatball sub. Excellent service read more

The food was ok for me. My husband did not like his food at all, he didn't even finish it. The salad was too watery. The service was great can't complain at all, the server was nice and friendly very respectful. The ambience was quiet and peaceful. I'm very sensitive to smell so when I walked in there was a musty smell (like moldy). My husband said the men's restroom was very dirty but the women's was clean. We drove from Katy and saw this location had better reviews but it wasn't worth the drive unfortunately. We love small businesses and wanted to avoid the Italian franchises. Food was okay though. read more

What a gem and completely deserving of its current star rating! Found Original Napoli while in search of pizza. It is a small cozy spot with a nice patio in the back. We were seated immediately and even better than the food was every employee we encountered. Our main waitress was attentive and checked on us often but every employee was friendly. We ordered a medium deluxe pizza and spaghetti and meat sauce. The only ding I would give the food was that the salad was absolutely swimming in dressing. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our food and we got great value for the price. I definitely would recommend this location. read more

Wow! Super impressed. My meetup group had been planning to get together for lunch in celebration of single awareness day. There was 15 of us. It seemed like we had undivided attention. Service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly. And the food was delicious and the garlic rolls were a treat. I totally recommend this place. Whether it's a party of 1 or more, service was super. read more

We got our food to go. I wish they did a better job packing the pasta. They use the foil pans with plastic lids. Unfortunately, they stacked them and the kids are too flimsy so the pasta dishes sauce leaked. Alfredo is 4/5. Super creamy, needs a tad more salt for my taste but a great flavor and very creamy Chicken picatta 2/5 lacked depth, couldve used more salt especially on the chicken. The angel hair pasta tossed in garlic butter was decent. Pasta was al dente. Ziti vodka sauce.meatball and sausage 4/5 this dish was super tasty. I wish i had more sauce. The meatball is super soft and tasy, the sausage was flavorful. I will get a meatba sub next time! The best dish for me was the cheese canzone 5/5 Omg. You cannot go here and not get this. The bread tastes sweet paired with the low moisture mozzarella and ricotta. Tastes great by itself but elevated dipped in the super tasty marinara! We'll be back!!! read more

They make the BEST pizzas! Everything is super good here. Definitely get a side salad. And the mussels are delish.

Wow, very surprised to find this place. I was getting an oil change next to Shell. Next to Shell, there's a little nice Italian restaurant. I figured I can just go in and have a bite to eat. It's such a hidden place behind this gas station. I would never know it's here if I did not go to the Shell gas station. It's right on the corner of chimney rock and beechnut. I'm from Mexico and I was happy to try. Food was amazing. Service was so wonderful. The owner was there and I didn't know he was in the business for 30 years. I definitely will go back when I come back from Mexico Definitely five stars read more

You can't judge by looks! I was scared of going in there, even though I knew it had been there for a long time. I always wondered why it's not going out of business. We live three minutes away. We decided to try it one day. On Friday night, the places were packed. The food was straightforward and home-style. Guess what? It was reasonable and good! read more

Old fashion place , small in between meyerland and Bellaire . The pizza is good and the staff friendly Feels a bit like those old restaurants in NYC dot let the old look fool u the food is really good! read more

A few months ago, following the personal appeal from Papa Zack, I ordered another pizza, which was good. Tonight I got a pizza plus some ziti bolognese. Both were pretty good! The ziti wasn't De Cecco but hey, this is a restaurant. The pizza was close enough to the standards of NY pizza. As a NYer I realize I am picky about this. Well, you can't get good pizza in Houston most anywhere but I am gratified to tell you that at Original Napoli, they fixed whatever it was that was going on at the end of 2022 for sure, and you can go here without fear of disappointment. Incidentally I ordered my pizza from Slice - it's a bit far, and the pizza was a bit cold - but it heated up real nice and it's all good. read more

This evening, I placed a to-go order, at 7:23 PM. The order was split into two separate tickets and was supposed to be ready around 7:38 PM. When we arrived we received only the first part of the order, and I immediately noticed half of it was missing. I sent my son back into the restaurant to wait for the missing items. After 15 minutes passed and he still hadn't come out, I went inside to check, and he was still standing there -- with no food. I approached the waitress, who didn't seem to understand me until I spoke to her in Spanish. I asked about the missing pasta, and she assured me it was ready. Another 10 minutes passed. I asked again, and she once again claimed it was ready. Yet when I spoke to the kitchen staff directly, the cook clearly told me they had never received the order. At this point, I asked the waitress again: Is the order ready or not? She repeated that it was ready -- but the cook looked at me with clear confusion, making it obvious that it was not. After being lied to multiple times, wasting over 30 minutes, and getting nowhere, I left it was 8:20 by then. I try hard to support local businesses, but this was beyond frustrating -- it was completely unacceptable. When I asked for her name and the name of the manager, she outright refused to provide either. I will never return to this restaurant, and I will make sure to share my experience so others can avoid the same disrespect and incompetence. read more

The cheese calzones are amazing!! My husband and I would have them multiple times a week if we could! The personnel is always extremely nice! read more

Affordable food and always friendly service. Great neighborhood place. I usually just grab a calzone or stromboli, but on my last visit I took the nice server's suggestion and tried the Scaloppini di Polllo. It was outstanding. So nice to have a casual little cafe here with good options for quick and easy to-go food, or nicer meals. read more

I ordered the 3-piece Lobster Ravioli with Vodka Sauce and small size Angel Hair with Meat Sauce. They were both great, very delicious and flavorful in their own ways. The ravioli dish was a real standout for me with that vodka sauce. It was very tasty, very aromatic, creamy, mildly tangy and herbed nicely. I don't like when they just put a plain, heavy white cream like Alfredo sauce on lobster ravioli or something just like it. I prefer tomato involvement. Imo, the best lobster ravioli in the city region or even state are from Angelo's ( Webster ) and Napoli here. The other pasta I ordered was very good, meaty, hearty, savory and runny. The noodles were soft and the meat was well-seasoned with a good tomato base in the sauce. Great, efficient and friendly service on this visit. This was my first time at this location n had been to a couple other locations years back n liked the pasta I ordered. I haven't had the pizza yet, but maybe next time. read more

I've been looking for a good Italian restaurant for so long and finally I found my go to place! The restaurant is so cute and has a cozy, homey feeling. Our server was super friendly and attentive. To start they brought us bread with an olive oil herb dipping sauce which was amazing, then my sister and I split the large Caesar salad which was very generous in size, and for my meal I had the small spinach Alfredo pizza which is the best Alfredo pizza I have ever had. We definitely plan to come here again soon. read more

Perfect homemade Italian restaurant. Food is delicious and service is top notch. Authentic and homemade.

It was amazing! The food was very yummy and there were no issues. Very good hospitality and kindness!

Napoli is a relatively small & intimate neighborhood restaurant with an emphasis on pizza and Italian cuisine. It seats about 50 diners in two dining rooms and affords a view into the kitchen as many European restaurants do. The offerings are reasonably priced. We had the baked ziti and the eggplant parmesan -both were quite good for a neighborhood bistro. The meal was preceded by fried calamari which was excellent accompanied by bread (risen yeast roll) with an olive oil / garlic dipping sauce. I would have preferred a true Italian bread as the yeast roll reminded me of non-Italian restaurants which I try to avoid. read more

The waitress had a dull personality which I would have not minded if the food was good. I had ordered Shrimp Francaise which is a lightly battered shrimp with a side of fettuccini alfredo. What I got was a platter of fettuccini with 5 flavorless shrimp that looked like they were boiled mix with a whole platter of soupy what was to be alfredo sauce but lacked the distinct parmesan flavor. To me it tasted like I was eating fettuccini soup with shrimp and cream with garlic. In fact there was so much soupy sauce that when the waitress brought it it spilled on the floor. As if that was bad enough I had the poops for the rest of the day.- Will not go back. read more

I had dinner here last week while in the neighborhood for a meeting. The interior is small and cozy with a small bar area along with the dining area. I asked for the spaghetti with mushrooms meal for $11.95. First to come out was a bread basket filled with two large rolls that were nice and puffy fresh. It was followed by a side salad with my ranch dressing and I enjoyed it. Very shortly after it's arrival my entree arrived. I don't like it when the meal isn't properly spaced and I have to look at my entree while trying to hurry and finish my salad. The spaghetti, marinara sauce and mushrooms was large enough in size and tasted good but the sauce was too watery and it created a pool on the plate that was unattractive. My table service during the meal was very good. While the overall meal was decent I can't give a score higher than a 3 due to the watery sauce and inadequate pacing of the meal delivery. read more

Great food and great service! Small dining area so maybe they do more take out? The rolls that come with your meal are good. I had lasagne and a cannoli-both good. The sauce was great! The cannoli was cold when I ate it so I really can't judge that. VERY FRIENDLY place. I would eat there again. read more

This place lived up to the great reviews. Great food and great service. My wife got a huge bowl of meatball soup, she loved the bite size pieces of meatball. most places you expend a lot of energy trying to downsize or chase the meatballs around in the broth. I got the supreme calzone, four meats and four vegetables and plenty of cheeses, the crust was amazing , crisp exterior and an interior full of goodies. A couple bites shot this up to the numero uno spot on my personal calzone list....yes i have one of those. Our buddy had her go to item anywhere we try......eggplant parmesan....she saw a stuffed version, she asked what might it be stuffed with? Lots of cheese the wait person said.....she said yes please and loved it. The portions were large and in charge....we all had enough leftovers for our evening meal and it was just as good as leftovers.. We'll back for more. read more

Great food and service! We went right before new years, highly recommend. The Greek salad and linguine pescatore were delicious.

Love Napoli. Now my new favorite is vodka sauce. So delicious. I've never had anywhere else. Great food. Great service. Cozy.

I've come here since I was little and it's been one of my top fav Italian restaurants since! It has such a cozy feel when you walk in and there's a nice outdoor seating area as well. They start you off with some bread and a side of olive oil dip which is always so delicious that you don't even need to order an appetizer. I recently tried their Sicilian pizza and it was pretty good but I think I prefer my usual New York style margarita pizza. I also highly suggest their eggplant parmigiana its delicious. They have great marinara sauce and the food is always super tasty. My boyfriend and I come here a lot together and he loves their food as well. You definitely wanna try this place out, they have the best Italian food!! read more
