This pizza is thin crust and very fresh, I tried the Regina Margherita and the Fior di latte (burrata like) and fresh basil so the only warm part of the pizza with crust with tomato sauce. It was different than your typical entire hot pizza. I enjoyed it! The Pachino Caprese appetizer was very good but I would definitely try others next time. Both my appetizer & pizza had the fresh cheese so I'd recommend trying a mix of fresh and cooked. Next time I'd pair the fresh Margherita with meatballs or pasta entree. Good service and very nice colorful decor inside with booths and tables. read more

Great pizza. As always. Love the location on San Felipe. And real family owned, too mar, the owner is a true marvel.

I had been to the Piola in midtown and my 1st time to memorial location. Restaurant ambiance is ok, service was good but food wasn't impressive at all. I remembered the one in midtown was good but I haven't been there for a while . Wonder if the food quality goes down?? We had a group of 8 so we ordered pretty much of a varieties but none of them I tasted would want me to come back for more read more

So not worth the price for what you get Pizza is mediocre at best and we added two dollars for mushrooms and I believe that they probably took two mushroom caps and sliced them up and put them on there so I'm guessing it was $1 per mushroom cap I would never ever eat there again even if you paid me too I wish I took a picture of the pizza before we throw it away read more

had a great experience at Piola Houston Memorial! The service was excellent--friendly and attentive staff made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a night out. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great Italian food in a relaxed setting. read more

The pizza here is great, I like that they share some of the same ingredients as the original Brazilian pizzas. The catupry tastes really good, and my hubby enjoyed trying out Guaraná for the first time. Will be trying out again read more

Piola Memorial - two pizzas on a wooden table - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered one of my favorite pizzas here togo on Monday afternoon being the Rio de Janeiro Pizza. Love this one and both margherita pizzas here a lot. Very delicious, good quality, really moist without being all greasy and superb in all aspects of the whole pizza pie. The crust was tasty on its own, flaky, thin with some slight sogginess to it, but also a bit puffy towards the edges with some crisp. The red sauce was a little tangy, tomatoey, not real sweet and had a good texture. The cheese was savory, rich and flavorful with an ideal level of salt content. The cream cheese blotches were really good with the shredded chicken and rest. I am not typically a big fan of cream cheese given cold or used in icing, but in or with warm hot meals can be a real win imo. The shredded chicken itself on this pizza was very juicy, plentiful and tasted very "poultryish" if that makes sense. The chicken flavor had a lot of punch to it, due to being organic quality and / or marinated well. Great, friendly service on this visit. Piola is also one of the very rare places down here along with Romano's, Luigi's and Frank's that sells pizza very similar to a great one you could find way up in N Y C. Love the pizzas, gnocchi and desserts from this restaurant. read more

Piola Memorial - Fantastic Rio de Janeiro Pizza togo !!! - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been to Piola a few times and it never disappoints! The team is always very attentive and friendly, and we never have to wait to get a table. Very family friendly and comfortable. I enjoy getting their bruschetta and avocado dip. My favorite pizza from them is the Quattro Formaggi - it's so tasty! But every pizza I've gotten from them so far is great. It's work getting out of the house to grab a bite or pick up to take home. Usually I eat 1/2 or a little more by myself and take the rest home . If you're a big pizza eater, get one for yourself vs sharing read more

The service can be a hit or a miss at this location depending on what time of the week you go. Their Italian margarita cocktail is delicious, but the aperol spritz missed the mark and was watered down alcohol with lots of simple syrup. My go to pizzas here are Regina margarita, diavola, and funghi misti. The diavola is spicy salami and I love the heat with the cheese and crust ratio. The Regina margherita pizza is better than regular margherita pizza. The mushroom pizza is perfect on days when you're not feeling like eating meat pizza that is still hearty. I have also tried their profiteroles, and I'll have to pass on that next time because the choux pastry was not crispy or warm. They served it cold, so the pastry shell was tough and the chocolate sauce wasn't hot/warm either. read more

Hidden gem! Our group of three had the caprese salad, garlic knots, Como pizza, and Caesar salad, plus very reasonably priced carafe of very nice house red. Everything delicious and reasonably priced, service attentive and thoughtful. And no wait at 6:30 on a weeknight! Decor is pretty and welcoming. Recommend!! read more

Thoughtful combinations! I chose the Moderna Pizza and Nutella Pizza and decided on takeout. When opening the box I was initially skeptical (especially given the price) but the pizza was delicious. It held its structure without being too thick and the toppings combination was simple yet surprisingly sophisticated. Try this spot for date night. It somehow captures both fullness and vibrancy of a larger restaurant while remaining intimate and quiet. P.S. I struggled loading the menu online. If you're struggling too, I've included the menu below P.S.S. Our round 2 of takeout was just as tasty as the 1st read more

Wow, we are here visiting and wanted Italian food. What an excellent choice to come here. I got the pineapple mint juice to drink. Very fresh mint and yummy. Then I got the gnocchi which was out of this world! My husband got the lasagna and said it was the best, most authentic lasagna he's had since he was a kid and his friend's Italian mom used to make it. Five star for sure. Felipe was an awesome waiter. read more

I was happy to find Piola had a location here while visiting Houston; however, this location literally impressed me even though I'm know the restaurant name. The decoration in this Piola es very different, looked quite modern, and the ambience feels fresher. We went for gnocchi day, which happens on the 29th of every month and I had never been to, wait time was none, parking was easy as they are located in a plaza. The experience consists of paying one price per person for unlimited gnocchi , similar to a rodizio concept, which I though was cool. My favorites were the salmon, the prosciutto, the bologna se and the four cheese; however, they have over 10 different kinds of gnocchi styles I can't remember the names of the other ones. For desserts I recommend the profiteroles, never had tried them and I loved the mix with the Icecream. Every bite was fresh, and servers were crenels attentive and courteous. Definitely a "must visit" while in Houston. read more

Pretty chill little spot. As soon as we walked in we could tell it would be quiet and quaint and it's a really cute spot! The food was pretty great and the pizza is thin and crispy but fresh out the oven! Btw, they even have vegan cheese for vegans or if you definitely don't want dairy they have an option for you! There's a ton of items on the menu and their tiramisu for dessert was really good as well. The bar area is pretty cute but getting a booth or table is also great because they are very roomy and it's very chill. Will definitely be back! read more

Best pizza in town. Had the Meat Lovers. Outstanding ingredients and execution. The crust was perfect.

Finally found my pizza place! My first time there I ordered the Margherita and Regina Margherita. It's thin crust, the bread is absolutely delicious and light- crunchy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside. We took the pizza to go- the pick up service was great, they had the pizza ready quickly. They were friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

service and food good Melissa good employee thank you for everything .Ambiance is very beautiful and amazing. read more

Great restaurant! Love the ambience and the best pizza! Gnocchi day deal every 29th of the month is also amazing.

The pizza is really good but be careful. My family and I always went to this pizzeria and ordered a house wine (which costs around U$ 40) until the day the waiter told us about a wine and out of innocence we didn't ask the price. At the time of the bill, U$ 120!!! So maybe it's not such a familiar place after all! We will never go back. read more

Very very amazing service! The manager/owner is so super sweet. He goes out of his way to take care of his guests! We went during lunch hour and were immediately taken care of. I chose the lunch special, half salad and half pizza. So delicious! Their crust is amazing. My friend chose the calzone. Yum! Portion sizes are not an issue. We will return!! Great food, great price, amazing experience! read more

I am so disappointed. I ordered 2 pizzas for take out. When they arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes. they were paper thin and undercooked. They were inedible. The Margherita was awful. There were no tomatoes, fresh basil, or mozzarella. The pizza funghi misti had a spattering of mushrooms. Steer clear of this pizzeria. read more

I love this place! It is family owned and the service is always very friendly and good. Everything I have ever eaten there has been delicious, and it is all made fresh in-house. They have several featured nights, like all-you-can-eat gnocchi at the end of the month and Ladies' Night with unlimited house wine every Thursday. Can't recommend enough! read more

Great experience! Fast, friendly and attentive service. Great menu options to pick from. Our food was delivered to our table fast, fresh and hot. The flavors were delicious. Top quality pizza!!

We eat here often. Everything on this menu is fantastic and fresh! The pizzas are really good, so are the salads!! We have the same servers every time we go.

This was my second time there. I had come to try the Thursday special when they offer women unlimited house wine with an entrée purchase. I had a pasta and a glass of red wine. I didn't like the house red wine. But beggars can't be choosers. When I expressed my dissatisfaction about the red wine to the waiter, he told me other glasses of wine on Thursday are $3. Not too shabby. I hope Piola can offer a less dry and somewhat better house wine. I was asked if I wanted bread. It's not served automatically. I should have said a firm "sí." The waiter is Spanish-speaking. I said "si no es extra, sí." If it's not extra then yes. He probably heard no. So for a while I didn't have bread until I asked again. I had a pasta with marinara sauce and some sort of cubed cheese. The cheese was delicious; however, the pasta's sauce was ok. The serving of pasta is a bit small. I concluded my meal with profiteroles. You get two and they're delicious. At $7.45, two profiteroles is too much. That's almost $4 each. By the way, the music they were playing doesn't go with the restaurant. They had merengue by Juan Luis Guerra? At a small Italian neighborhood restaurant? Then I heard music by the late Amy Winehouse. I would change the music. I wanted to decompress and Juan Luis Guerra in an Italian restaurant seems discombobulated. The first time I visited I shared a margarita pizza with a friend. It was delicious. I would go back for pizza and a $3 glass of wine on a Thursday. read more

Cute neighborhood pizza place! We walked over here for dinner one day and didn't know what to expect. We were greeted by so many employees, at different times, and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Once we were seated in our booth, a woman came by and gave us some history about Piola and the foods they offer. A lot of some pretty cool info. I had 2 glasses of wine and we ordered a pizza (can't remember the name). The pizza was a great size and mighty tasty. Good for 2. I noticed on the table they have lunch specials - I'll definitely stop by one of these days! read more

This is the 2nd Piola in Houston and I like it more than the one in Midtown. Very quick and attentive service. Small place with a nice ambiance. The food was great all around. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The tomatoes and basil in the caprese salad were very fresh. The pizza is thin crust but still crunchy and not rubbery at all. I went with friends from work and I was surprised the $12 salad and pizza lunch special is enough to feed two people! I plan to go back. read more

Piola Memorial - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

They have the best gnocchi in town. My husband and I come by at least once a month (for last 3 years) for their gnocchi legnano and quality is always consistent. (Both Voss and downtown location) We are creatures of habit and we are yet to try any other entree. They also have great caipirinhas, made with actual cachaça. Cons: I wish they would add some more options for desert. In particular, something more "sweet?" The last desert we tried was the Profiteroles and it was okay. Chocolate is very rich, but more towards a dark chocolate. I haven't found a particularly sweet desert there. Otherwise, everything is great. read more
