I LOVE this place. It's so "mom and pop" and I LOVE THAT! As my wife is a real New Yorker, she fell in love with the pizza and garlic knots/rolls. Everything else was great too (please see the pictures). Service was SUPER NICE and easy. This place is so freaking quaint. I can't wait to get my next slice! (I wish they had balsamic vinaigrette). Would I come back? HELL YAH! I can't wait!

NY Style Cheese Pizza 16" Pizza
Cassie C.

I have been coming here since highschool (like 15 years) it is my favorite pizza in Houston so far. I love it. It's the perfect cheese to sauce ratio and flop. Their garlic knots are tasty; so good dipped in the marinara. The spaghetti marinara is really good too. I like the house salad. I'm a creature of habit so I haven't really tried more than those but I can imagine their other dishes are good and I will try them one day! The service is great. I saw someone else comment it's mom and pop and it so is this ambiance. It's great. I tell everyone about it.

Lobster Ravioli Alla Vodka
Xena W.

I ordered the lobster ravioli, chicken Alfredo, calamari, and a side of garlic bread for a to-go order. The food itself is good overall, and the chicken Alfredo was definitely my favorite item - flavorful, well cooked, and the most enjoyable dish from the order. The calamari was my least favorite, not bad, but it didn't really stand out. That said, the portion sizes don't match the price point, and the restaurant seems inconsistent with how they portion both food and sauces. For example, the garlic bread came with four rolls but only one very small container of dipping sauce. The lobster ravioli order had only five raviolis, and even the salad came with a very small amount of dressing. Overall, it felt like everything had to be rationed. I've never dined in, so I can't speak to whether portions are better when eating at the restaurant, but for takeout, the value just isn't there. Good food, and would recommend you to try - but the pricing versus portions makes it hard to justify.

I have been going to Napoli for over a decade and never in all that time have I had such a terrible experience. I haven't been since last October and I'm not sure if management/ownership has changed since, but whoever's running it has no clue what they're doing. We ordered a half Hawaiian and half supreme pizza. Instead they made a third supreme, 2/3 Hawaiian and there's a whole sliver with nothing at all. My sister was eating a slice of the Hawaiian and there was literally plastic in it. How does that even occur? We brought it up with the lady at the cash register who seemed to be managing it and all she had to say was that she'll tell the workers to be more careful. That's not how you handle a food service error in my opinion. She didn't even apologize. I also had the pasta Napoli which I only ate half of and took the rest home. When I was eating my leftovers, there was a hard chunk of something dark brown in color. I have no clue what it was but there wasn't supposed to be meat in it. Bottom line, their food handling is atrocious. They've ruined the restaurant and the way they "dealt" with the plastic issue is unacceptable. I was a long time customer and I will never return. Maybe others are too careless to notice what has changed but I can definitely tell the quality and service has dropped. Do better.

I stumbled into this nice restaurant and ordered a slice of cheese pizza and loved it. Great service and delicious food. Took a bunch of food home for the family to try and they all loved it!

Penne with olive oil and garlic. Cheese pizza
Stacey G.

Let me say the service was very good. You order at a counter and the girl working was helpful and was the only one delivering food and clearing tables. However the food was really bad. The mozzarella sticks were all bad unseasoned breading with very little cheese. The pizza was also bland and the crust was more like a cracker on the rim and the middle was somehow soggy. The penne 'homemade' pasta was .50 cents worth of bagged pasta with garlic olive oil so salty I could not finish it. For a restaurant that's been here in this area for years, I honestly have to ask why?? First and only time I would eat there and would also tell others it's not worth it.

I can't believe this place has been under my nose for 33 years and I'm just trying it for the first time! Cozy Italian restaurant with booth and table seating inside plus a small outdoor seating. It's a walk up order style but the bring the food to your table. Great service. I had the Caesar salad to start. They put carrot shreds in theirs. Interesting, as I've never seen carrots in a Caesar salad. It was good. For my meal, I had the Pasta Napoli. A zesty blend of basil sauce with a splash of alfredo sauce & fresh mushrooms. Served over ziti pasta. Bread is served with each dish. We also tried the fried mozzarella. These bad boys were huge! I have never seen mozzarella that big. Very tasty! The atmosphere is charming and the service is terrific! We met the owner, "Papa Zack". He was very friendly and dubbed his food as "Texas Italy" because the portions are so big. They truly are big. I had 2-1/2 meals off mine. The pizza at other tables looked delicious and I can't wait to try their soups. Will return soon! Apparently, Papa Zack is adding burgers to the menu. There's a small space to the right of the main restaurant that will be for burger orders, as best I can tell. If he does Italian food this good and adds burgers, this place will be unstoppable! I will want to try the new addition as well!

See all

Highly recommend the lasagna. Above average. The pizza was also pretty decent for the price. Key note. Can't beat the price.
