    Ny style pizza and ranch salad
    Sheila G.

    I'm originally from Houston but have lived in New Jersey for the past 10 years.When i'm home visiting and crave pizza, this is where I go! I love that they offer three styles of pizza and of course I go with the new york style. You can pick your own toppings on half or full, which is great for my picky mom. The ranch is homemade and delicious. Is it identical to ny style pizza, no but I would say it's the closest and best I've had in Houston.

    With new pizza spots popping up around town thanks to the Barstool gourmet pizza craze, Pizaro's showed up on the radar. I swung by during a workday for lunch. It's located on the frontage road and has parking readily available. There is inside seating and a very minimal interior in terms of just focusing on seating. You walk in and order at the counter, much like. Torchy's Tacos. Then you grab a drink from the fridge and the staff will bring you your pizza. I got a small Caesar salad ($9) to start and ordered the New York style D.U.M.B.O. (A New York style supreme pizza, $35) and a Napoletana style Iberico Bellota ($31). The Caesar was all iceberg lettuce and the dressing was a bit weak, lacking any anchovy base and missing a good quality homemade sauce. The croutons are good quality but for a $9 small bowl of Caesar, I expected a bit better. The New York style pizza was roughly a large pizza size (comparing to a large size delivery pizza roughly) and the Napoletana style pizza was significantly smaller. The Iberico pizza had a nice gourmet crust with good char. The cheese was a good quality but overall felt a bit lacking for being a whopping $31 pie. The New York style pizza had a decent topping, but I wished the crust was a bit thinner and had a crispier texture owing to the New York/ New Haven style influences. The salad was a bit lacking and I would definitely skip it next time. The pizzas are solid, and comparable to some of the spots that focus on the better ingredients/higher cost bracket style of pies. However, at over $30 per pie, it's a bit hard to justify over some of its peers that serve similar quality pizza for a bit less. Think I didn't quite order the best stuff on the menu after tasting these two specific pies and perhaps I'm missing out by not trying their Detroit style pizza so I'll give it a go next time. With all things considered, a solid 3-3.5 for me, and worth a try to come back and revisit some different pies.

    Vegetarian pizza

    We were looking for a place with outdoor seating. You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. My brother ordered a family size vegetarian Detroit style pizza. The dough is delicious and so is the marinara sauce. You are brought plates. But you have to get your drinks, silverware and napkins on the side of the restaurant. They have some bottled and canned refrigerated drinks next to the cashier. My Mom ordered a canoli. She said it was ok. They have a lunch special for about $11. It includes a small pizza. Too bad they don't have pizza by the slice.

    Detroit Pizza
    Stacey G.

    Pizza was disappointing. I had high hopes. The Detroit style was undercooked and the NY style was so under seasoned. Not one Italian herb or spice there. The sauce is really sweet and just overpowers everything.

    Easy five star review. If you are craving Detroit style pizza this is definitely a must try! They are not the cheapest in town but you get what you pay for! They are using top notch quality ingredients so in my opinion the price is definitely worth it. Food: the pizza is top notch! The caramelized crust is amazing. Every single bite was great! I will definitely remember this place when I am in the area. They are serving up 3 type of pizzas. So i will definitely have to come back asap to try the others. The customer service team and manager were very friendly as well. Will definitely be back soon.

    Magherita Pizza

    For a 12 inch pizza to cost close to $20 it had nothing but sauce and crust with 7 cubes 1 inch X 1.5 inch cubes of mozzarella. Ridiculous and a waste of money.

    Any place with Napoletana pizza cannot be a bad place. Pizaro's included. They can definitely satisfy any pizza lover, because they also have the Detroit and New York styles. We order a white, a special with bacon, and a margherita pizza. Both tasted exactly great, though I do have 2 notes, the crusts were under-blistered and the margherita had shredded basil rather than whole basil leaves. Overall, pretty consistent with the Pizaro's near Montrose. I would say both locations' pricing is a tad high considering a 12 inch pie. The value isn't quite there, BUT I am keen to come for the lunch special some day, where it's a bit more bang for the buck!

    As I continue my search for true neopolitan pizza in Houston, I saw the yelp pictures and they had the oven that produces my favorite type of pizza. I placed an order over the phone for pick up. We weren't hungry but figured we can save it for later. I ordered 2 white and 1 red. They said the order would be ready in 10-15 minutes. We were 10 minutes away. We walked in and were killed with kindness. I felt like I was walking into a ice cream parlor in the 90s with this type of customer service. It's just so rare nowadays to meet happy workers. I opened the boxes to take pictures and my nose immediately flared up with anticipation. We instantly became hungry that very moment and had a slice of each pie. Prior to the slice, I couldn't help but to notice something very unique. Their to-go packaging was very well thought. They placed the truffle oil in a separate container. They also placed the lemon vinaigrette in a separate container. Lastly, they had the arugula and parmesan in a separate box and bagged it. The pizza was also placed on wax paper instead of directly on the paper box to prevent oil leaking. So now the embarrassing part. Shortly after I took the pictures, I was so confused because I ordered the arugula pie and didn't see arugula on top. We went back in and halfway into the pizzeria, the worker comes walking to us and asked us what was wrong. Then we dropped. The arugula was in the bag in a separate container. Opps! I didn't get a chance to roam since our order was ready but it looked clean at a quick glance. Now onto the pizza. Wow. One bite in. 5 stars right away. This is exactly what I wanted. Chewy crust. Charred edges. Thin center. Flavorful. Light. Great ratio of sauce to dough to toppings. Didn't fall apart when picked up. Absolutely Perfection. Interestingly, I'm a white pie gal and my partner is a red sauce guy. I LOVED the red pie. Their red sauce reminded us of Joe's pizzera in Manhattan, NYC. This pie bought back memories from home. Only downside is I live in the woodlands and it's quite a drive to come here. If it was closer I would probably be here weekly. Pies I ordered: Calabrese, patata e Funghi, arugula

    Daniel greeted me as I walked in. The shop was clean, well lit, smelling amazing! The decor was interesting to admire while waiting for our pizza Togo. There was a tall cooler with beer and wine by the register, as well as a soda fountain/ fresh brewed tea area. There were also select bottles of wine to enhance the fresh flavors on the pizza. When eating in, I definitely suggest the Napoletana, to get the full experience of Thin and Crispy at 900 degrees. I was afraid it wouldn't hold up well to the 20 minute ride home, so we decided on the New York style with red sauce and homemade mozzarella. We added crimini mushrooms, red onion, Italian sausage, finochetta salami, basil and black olives. All fresh and delicious. Currently they are featuring a pizza with crawfish and white sauce that sounded fabulous. Get it before it's gone! They do have a lunch special: either a 12 inch margarita pizza or a 8 inch margarita pizza with choice of salad for $10.99, Tues thru Friday. This is, by far, is MrM's favorite go to pizza place! Although a little out of the way for us, it's always scrumptious and well worth the drive!

    Margherita Pizza :)
    Santangelo G.

    I stopped here for lunch with my team on probably one of the most beautiful days of October 2022. it really was a nice day! XD Anyways , immediately the smell of fresh pizza being made hits your nostrils. My sense of smell was flooded with essence of pure pizza perfection. I knew i was in for a treat. I don't mind spending the 24$ on a 16in NY Style Pepperoni Pizza , but damn that's low key a lot but HEY it happened to be the best damn NY slice in Houston. Perfect dough/ crust to die for Sauce was amazing , straight out of the oven glistening between dat cheese mayneee yessirrrr, it was that mesmerizing to me. I have a thing for pizza g , quality is what's going on here people. we also tried the Napoletana Margherita Pizza w/ pepperoni. A whole nother universe. When i tell you that Margherita pizza spoke to me.... Definitely coming back to this spot when i have the time to drive out and i will be having the same thing plus a couple bud lights ;) - Santangelo Balli Gonzales Count on my word. Count on the SLICE.

    So worth it! I've been obsessed with pizza lately and started trying different spots so I finally…read morestopped in for a pick up on a weekday. I got the Rita with the smoked chicken. My pizza was ready on time and the service was great although our interaction was brief. It's a thin crust pizza and the edges were just perfect out of the oven. The chimichurri worked perfectly with the smokiness of the chicken. The cheese was so fresh and the sauce flavorful. Next time I'll order it well done because the toppings made it a bit soggy in the middle the next day. I can't wait to try more on the menu! The space is small and has patio seating. I would consider it more for takeout or a quick lunch.

    Heard really good reviews from social media so decided to give them a try. Starting off parking is…read morea little tricky as the area is small along with the building. Walking in there a couple seats to the right, menu is on the wall to the left, and order & pickup counter in the center. I ordered the Coffee Cowboy pizza and a full order of Dad's Bruschetta (Dad OG's). It took quite a while for the food to be ready, as it was a Friday, and was just blowing up on social media. So I recommend ordering online beforehand, I also noticed while waiting for my food to be ready, that the staff taking orders were bias towards certain customers but that could just be me. There are more tables and seating outside in front with napkins rolls available which I sat at when the food ready. The Coffee Cowboy pizza had coffee-crusted hereford flank steak, smoked onion bianco sauce, mozz, white cheddar, caramelized onion, smoked salt, and truffled arugula. But sadly wasn't to my liking along with the Dad's Bruschetta. Overall, food wasn't really to my liking, and recommend ordering ahead of time.

    Excellent pizza. And I felt like I was in NYC…read more We came here on a whim on an early Saturday night (around 8 p.m.), though this joint has been on our radar for years. The atmosphere is somewhat dingy, but not in a dirty way. Rather, it just felt like they spend so much time turning out wonderful pies that they really don't have time to touch up the paint. Seating is limited. We found a table in the loft, and it was just fine. It's counter service here, and the young lady who took our order was polite and efficient. Parking, by the way, is on the street or in one of the nearby garages. Most importantly, the pizza here is really good. The atmosphere reminded me of so many pizza joints in NYC, as did the pizza -- thin, foldable crust and a tomato-forward sauce. The cheese is top notch, as is the uber-thin pepperoni and fresh mushrooms. Slices are available, and seemingly popular, but we ordered a whole pie. I understand that this place is open until the crack of dawn for all the bar-goers. During our visit, however, we were the only customers without kids -- or infants. Yep. It was Romper Room for sure. All of that to say that drunks might get their 3 a.m. pizza fix here, but so too do young families patronize this place much earlier. Fun experience. Wonderful pizza.
