Great service! Quick, friendly and fun. We sat at the bar and ordered pizza, wings and a marg on the rocks. Everything tasted great and it was nice to watch the fight and hang. Parking is tight and it's not a ton of seating but I think it's good with a small group!

My coworker wanted to try this spot and we came by for lunch. There weren't a lot of reviews and quite a few were excellent reviews from folks with one review; so digest that how you will. It's a very casual, divey feeling spot. For a pizzeria, the first thing I noticed was the lack of a legit oven. The pizza dough looks like they just came from a premade tub and ready to be loaded on the conveyor belt, much like Domino's. Service was great for this fast casual kind of service style; you order and get your pizza at the table, and that's pretty much the extent. Buffalo wings - 3/5, they were fine and exactly what you would expect. Ranch is Hidden Valley ranch. Bread sticks - 0/5. Legitimately some of the worst breadsticks that I've eaten. The texture of the dough is odd and very bouncy and under developed. There's a weird rosemary garlic sauce on it as well. Not a fan of the flavor, texture, or smell. Brisket pizza - 1/5. Again, the pizza dough is not good. There's massive flop and the dough here is closer to Little Caesars than closer to an artisan spot. There's something off about the flavor on this pizza (cheese, sauce, brisket)? But it's my least favorite pizza out of the three we ordered. Trompo pizza - 2/5. Same issue with the fast food pizza dough. Not a fan of the flavor either but it's a step up from the BBQ pizza. Chorizo Diego- 3/5. Flavor wise, it's the best out of the three pizza's but it was quite spicy. The same issue with the low grade pizza crust. Lots of flop, no undercarriage, and poor texture on the crust. Overall, massively disappointed by the pizza here as a fan of high quality pie.

Good amount of seating, booths, and TVs to watch the game on upstairs

Best/most creative pizza I've had in awhile!! Everyone needs to try this place ASAP! Pinballz Pizzeria was so freaking good! Luckily I live super close to here so I'll be a regular for sure. We ordered their H & K Brisket pizza and it was simply perfection. Classic red sauce, 4 cheese blend, Henderson & Kane signature brisket, bleu cheese crumbles, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction. Even my friend who hates bleu cheese LOVED this pizza! Their crust is also the perfect thickness in between thick/thin crust, good chew, and well seasoned. I seriously can't wait to come back here and try more of their menu. The trompo pizza with the al pastor and grilled pineapple sounds so Houston, I love it haha. This would be a great place to watch the game too, there's a good amount of seating and tons of TVs upstairs. They also currently serve free beer or wine with every purchase, cheers! PS. Those desserts were calling my name too, but I was too full this visit. This place is joining my regular weekly rotation. Papa John's/Pizza Hut who? Never going to those chain pizza places again with Pinballz Pizzeria so close by.

Build your own pizza: pepperoni with mozzarella stuffed crust
Eric B.

Was near the EADO area so wanted something for lunch. This popped up on my yelp as a 4.8 star in the area, so decided to give it a try. We ordered a mozzarella stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and the San Genaro sandwich. Food was delicious, restaurant was clean, and the staff was super nice and helpful. Definitely will come back. They only had 2 pinball machines, so don't be disappointed if you were expecting a bunch. The food carries this place so definitely check it out.

Fast and amazing service! The guy in the front greeted us quickly and kindly, also answered any questions ! The decorations and the ambiance of this restaurant reminded of Roswell's Saloon. We got 6 lemon pepper wings and their Trompo specialty pizza with chorizo stuffed crust, a Coors and a fountain drink with a total of $64. The pizza was delicious, who would've thought about putting mexican street tacos onto a pizza! The wings were crispy and the flavoring was strong, which I liked. I would come here again to try the Brisket Pizza next ! :)

Just opened couple months ago. Used to come to the other pizza place that was here before. Decided to stop in today. They don't do pizza by the slice anymore but their pies are really reasonably priced. You can get a small with 3 free toppings for $10. So a little less than 2 slices were at the other place. Rebecca waited on me and made my pizza. She's super friendly and knowledgeable about the local area, she grew up in this community. Was great talking to her while I waited for the pizza. Definitely recommend checking it out. Forgot to mention the pizza was amazing, super fresh ingredients crafted with care by Rebecca. Yum!

Custom pizza with goat cheese, mushroom, and basil
Michelle F.

I was housesitting nearby and just wanted a personal size Pizza and searched on Yelp and found pinball pizzeria. I made my own pizza. Goat cheese, mushrooms, basil. The pizza was really good. Really good flavor, red sauce, and the crust was airy, light, and crispy. I was very impressed and I will definitely order again!

Small pepperoni with green peppers and jalapeños
Chris J.

I found this pizza to be really good. The crust was crispy and the pepperoni strips were awesome. I would definitely give them a try if you get a chance.

Came here for desserts on the first visit, ordered tres leches tiramisu. I'm not a fan of tres leches but this one was decent, it was soaked in coffee at the bottom. Would've been nice to have an extra layer of marscapone, but still it was decent. Second visit we ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni and mushroom pizza large. The pizza was good, kid approved on the cheese side and adult approved on the other half. The cheese stuffed crust was a yummy addition. I would recommend this place and plan on returning to try other toppings. Staff was friendly, nice atmosphere especially with an actual pinball machine!

As soon as I see Fabio's little building I call my wife to ask if she wants me to pick up something from there. It's our number one place to buy excellent pasta in a variety of sizes. We also will get their different Raviolis as well. We mix and match the different sauces each time and are always happy with the decision. We have often changed our dinner plans to go with the pasta. A salad, and a nice bottle of wine from my cellar... It's the American plan. They also have a spot at the outdoor market on Buffalo Speedway every Saturday, and the first and third Sunday in Rice Village...the second and fourth Sunday in the Heights. It's good stuff so I give it ***** stars. Be there or be square

With that said, I was unfortunate to have encounter mold in the sauce. Luckily I didn't heat it up. There's no preservatives so it doesn't last as long. They need to have a way to date the containers for each items they make. I just bought it last night and was quite upset when I was making late dinner. As soon as I got home, I kept everything refrigerated. Luckily I didn't mix it in with the pasta so I end up using a different sauce I already had on hand. Pasta are delicious and I would come back, if I'm in the area and planning to cook it within the same day or next. I don't think I can try any of their sauce. My tip to you is to inspect all of your items prior to purchasing. Sauce are hard to look through the containers so I hope they change their ways and just date their food items since everything doesn't have preservatives. Limited parking right in front but didn't see any other customers there. The lady at the register was nice but limited English.

This is not a place to eat pasta, it is a place to buy pasta you can prepare at home. It is located in a small and nondescript retail strip center on Campbell Road just north of I-10. Inside this tiny little shop you will find a place to get a cup of Italian Coffee and some pastries. You will also find some outstanding and very authentic Italian sandwiches. They generally have three or four to chose from for lunch. Seating is limited to a table or two inside and a table or two out front. (Yes it is that small.) Taking pride of place is the pasta kitchen, where the fresh pasta and sauces are made. Casetta is owned and run by a husband and wife team. The husband is from Italy and brings his passion for food with him. The available pastas, sauces and sausages are on display in two large refrigerators. Generally, I stop by for a sandwich and get some of the pasta and sauces for later in the week. There about 10 pastas and ravioli to chose from. Since Italians have very firm opinions on what sauces go with each pasta I always ask! For example I select a pasta or two.....then let them select the sauce to go with it. Give it a try. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

Our server was friendly and made couple solid recommendations on appetizers. Two dishes stood out for me: Watermelon and tomato salad - this is my favorite thing from the dinner, the sweetness from the watermelon worked surprisingly well with the balsamic glaze and pesto, very refreshing. TexQueno - nice cheese stick made with Venezuelan cheese, paired well with the cilantro sauce. We also tried the shrimp ceviche, which was solid, but nothing too special. For the main, we went with pastas, which were let downs. For the Cioppino Linguini, the seafood was overcooked, the pasta texture wasn't great, and the dish tasted pretty bland and lack the garlicky tomato flavor you'd expect from a traditional Cioppino Linguini. The wild mushroom pasta had a bit heavy sauce, also not the best pastas, but the mushrooms were cooked well.

Unfortunately, the food overall fell a little short of expectations. The octopus was pretty good, but there was way too much sauce and it overwhelmed the dish. The squash blossoms were easily the best thing we ordered. The Steak Braciole was good, but nothing particularly memorable, and the Caesar had good flavor but was overdressed. I was especially disappointed because we were originally supposed to come here for my birthday, but the restaurant had to cancel our reservation about an hour beforehand due to an unexpected city water shutdown. We completely understood that the situation was outside of their control, and we were told that when we came back they would take care of us. When we finally returned, we were given a complimentary glass of bubbles to start, which was appreciated, but that was the extent of it. Between the circumstances surrounding the original reservation and how much I had been looking forward to trying the restaurant, I expected the overall experience to feel a little more special.

Also, I think this place is pretty good value for pizza size / price. Especially compared to other places in the area that I enjoy. I liked the topping flavor this time, but I'd probably try something else next time. Their topping combinations are very unique, but I'm not sure they're up my alley entirely. But for now, this would be a place I'd add to my rotation. Also, I do see that they've added some tables outside, which is a nice touch for when there's good weather.
