Has someone who really enjoys pizza, I'm always game to try a new place. I met up with a friend for lunch here who had been a few times before and suggested the place. It's cute and quiet with a real cafe vibe going for it having both interior and patio seating. The $15 lunch special that included a whole pepperoni pizza and a Caesar salad is quite a deal. The salad came out quick and was tasty, with a fair amount of cheese, though I would have preferred a little bit more dressing. Perhaps I should have thrown some pepper on it. About halfway into my salad, the pizza was ready. While some may be concerned that it came out too early, it gave it time to cool down so that I didn't burn myself eating it too quickly. The pizza was pretty good, but it definitely needed the parmesan and crushed red pepper that I added to it. I just prefer a cheesier pie. I look forward to eating the other half of the pizza with some hot honey. I think that would really make it. read more

Great experience at Pizzeria Solario! It felt like a neighborhood pizza spot. The space was clean and inviting, with a wood-fired pizza oven and a team making fresh pizzas right in front of you. The tables created a casual, relaxed atmosphere rather than anything too formal. I loved the Frosé. It came in a large glass with an orange wedge and had the perfect consistency. We visited on Thursday, which has $4 beers, and I'll have to come back on a Tuesday for the $10 pizzas. The service was super kind and efficient, with a fast turnaround. This spot may easily make it into my monthly rotation for a quick bite. The ingredients felt very fresh and simple, but in the best way. read more

This is the definition of the classic neighborhood wood fire pizzeria. You come here to get a consistent thin and crispy slice with any combination of quality ingredients. The wine bar has a nice little selection with some froze and sangria to choose from, and all the tables have a view to that quite pretty oven where they cook the food. The menu and ingredients all lean more towards the traditional style toppings and offerings, i don't think you'll be able to order pineapple or hot honey on these pizzas. The flavors are more subtle, the sauce might just be a thin smear of crushed tomatoes, but I was craving a slightly more punchy red sauce. Overall though the crusts are thing and crispy bottom, nice chewy edge and there's lots to choose from read more

This pizza spot hit the spot. The hostesses, wait staff and overall ambiance was extremely welcoming and made me feel at home. The vibes are very inclusive of everyone's pizza experience. I had the delight of ordering a Margherita pizza and italian Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was a crowd pleaser to say the least! If you have the chance to visit this establishment please do! read more

Located near the Costco and Sharetea. Plenty of parking up front. The interior is clean and it's good to see a nice wood fired pizza oven. We got a couple of apps; I wasn't very impressed with the sautéed calamari but the burrata was good. We ordered three different pizzas and they were very solid. The crust was thin and crisp, the cheese is solid. The tomato sauce is a bit delicate / bland but it's not bad when combined with all of the ingredients. The Margherita was my favorite, being a classic mix of ingredients. The Diavola was more meaty and was solid. I enjoyed the fennel sausage white pizza as well. Overall, it's a solid pizza with good ingredients! read more

If you like real Italian pizza and don't mind $22-$25, you'll love it. It had wine displays. Pizza is cooked in a brick oven. Waiter was nice. I'm not a huge fan of real Italian. I like to try new spots that my kids can afford on my birthday. My grown kids loved it but I like American pizza better. But this was good though. read more

We started off with an appetizer. The Polpette was great. More than enough for two. We order the Alla Benno pizza. The fun part was our waiter translated the menu. The only set back was the dirty table that didn't get cleaned up while we were there. But don't let that stop you from enjoying a nice meal. read more

Awesome pizza - as if I were in a small town in Italy! Pizza crust is perfectly cooked with the right amount of char. Delicious!

Went with two other friends and we split 3 things: the truffle cheese bread (10/10) the pollo pizza (chicken pizza with pesto basil - 8.5/10) and the pollo cremoso pasta (9.5/10) I also got the frosé and it was one of the best ones I've had! all the food was pretty amazing, although the pasta was far superior! I loved the truffle bread as well. everything tasted fresh and authentic! the server was also so kind and gave us recommendations and helped us as we were so indecisive! she was the sweetest!! I like that they have outdoor and indoor seating, we opted for the outdoor due to the weather being nice but the indoor space looked cute and cozy! I definitely will be coming back:) read more

Tried Pizzeria Solaria and honestly wasn't too impressed. The place looked nice and the service was fine, but the pizza itself just didn't stand out. The crust was okay, a bit too soft for my taste, and the toppings lacked that bold flavor I was hoping for. The bread and dip were good though! Honestly, Nothing was bad, but nothing really wowed either. Maybe it was just an off day, but overall it felt pretty average compared to other pizza spots around. read more

OHHHH MY GOD. I was brought here by chance because it was next to another restaurant I was supposed to go to.. THE LORD HIMSELF BROUGHT ME HERE! The Ragu Bolognese is the best pasta I've ever had in my life.. and I'm a tough critic. I would've never thought of pairing a braised short rib into a meat sauce but it was outstanding. Bilanciata pizza add pepperoni will make your year.. and the burrata was delicious. Great selection of wine and the atmosphere is so quaint. 100000000/10...... SALUD! read more

I've been coming to Solario since I was six years old and I can say that it's the best traditional Italian food in Houston. I am a college student, so I don't live in Houston full time right now but every time I am home for the weekend or vacation I come to Solario. Their staff is so lovely and have been there for a long time making the space feel homey and welcoming. I would highly suggest for a casual date night or even a large family gathering. You should definitely give them a chance! read more

Food was amazing and a hidden gem amongst the sea of Houston restaurants. The soffrito soup is addicting and a must-do start to the meal. Had several of their speciality pizzas and all were tasty. Even sampled a bite of the bolognese and had menu order envy. read more

From the time we walked in, Kimberly was soooooo pleasant and helpful. The setting is that of an old pizzeria in a small Italian city, and the food was AMAZING!!! Stumbled upon my go to pizza/pasta spot and I will DEFINITELY return to try other menu items. read more

I feel like this place doesn't get enough credit both as a takeout and dine in pizza option in Houston. I'm a huge wood fire pizza fan, and Pizzeria Solario offers VERY tasty pizzas. Located just between some apartments and a little strip of shops and eateries in the greenway plaza area lies this great pizzeria. The exterior is inviting with an old school pickup truck with very old looking wooden barrels, a vibrant yet chic sign, and an elegant patio. The interior is lively yet comfortable. There is something on the menu for the entire family, and this spot is also great for date nights. When you are done with pizza and drinks you can make your way across the street to Edward's Theater for a movie or for some indoor putt putt at Holey Moley. Some tips: When ordering online I was prompted with a10% off order option. I'm not sure how long this promotion will last. Also, it is worth noting that this pizza is not gigantic in size, but it is gigantic in flavor. If you are starving and feel this pizza might not fill you up, you might consider ordering one of their many starters. If you are sharing I recommend getting more than one pizza. This is one of my all time favorite pizza spots in Houston in terms of taste, style, and service. I definitely recommend everyone checks them out! Cheers!! read more

A quiet pizza place, tucked under an apartment complex, this restaurant has to be a great hidden gem. This was my second time going, but every time feels the same! Food and service is honestly always amazing. We got the meatballs for an appetizer, which was perfect, the flavor was on point and a must have. For the pizza, I've had the margarita and I've had the sweet sausage one. Both were honestly so good and I would highly recommend (pictured sweet sausage). We also had a sweet red wine that I forgot the name of (the waiter gave us a recommendation). Definitely come try out this hidden gem and you'll see what I mean! read more

Does this place have good pizza? No clue. What they do have that keeps me ordering time and again is the best ragu bolognese I have ever had. That and the burrata antipasti is chefs kiss delicious. Seriously, I keep saying I need to try the pizza but still haven't managed to pick anything over ordering the burrata and pasta bolognese. read more

The pizza and the salads are outstanding!! I had the Tessa Rossa pizza and Rocket salad. This pizza has pancetta (Italian bacon) and spicy pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella cheese which are placed in small mounds on the pizza, Napoli, Italy style. It taste like you are having a pizza on the Amalfi coast in Italy. The tomato sauce is delicious.!! The rocket salad with goat cheese was amazing as well. This place is very cozy, with a quaint bar and a very nice large beautiful pizza oven where you can see the pizzas being made and taken out of the oven. The pizza comes out hot. The wait staff is very friendly, also. I strongly recommend it!! read more

Good crispy crust pizza, delicious soups and attentive staff. Nice little neighborhood spot.

The pizza is enjoyable however, the red sauce is a bit too acidic for my taste. Also the white sauce was almost nonexistent on the Pollo pizza, but the pesto flavor was STRONG. I'm glad i tried it because the crust was nice but i got delivery and this is the type of crust that is best enjoyed fresh (immediately after you order it). Give the high price and small portions I likely won't return (and would not recommend for a family meal.) read more

The food was good. The service was decent. The ambiance could use some improvement. I sat at the bar but there is so much behind the bar that it doesn't allow the servers to serve you from behind the bar. read more

We were greeted as we walked in for a late lunch. We seated ourselves and they came over to take our drink order. The table wobbled so I shoved a piece of paper under the suspect leg to keep it steady. We decided on the lunch special a classic pizza with a choice of salad or cup of soup. I got the pepperoni (nice crispy crust on the outside unfortunately the center crust was a bit soggy, the crust was cooked I am guessing the ingredients were too wet. I enjoyed the little pepperoni nice and crispy) and house salad (onions looked suspicious they were translucent), my dining companion got the margherita and Caesar salad (both pizza and salad were good). There is a nice patio area and seating inside to. Shared parking lot. read more

I have visited this place since it opened. My sister lives right down the street so we picked it up often. During hurricane Harvey we walked there as it was the only place open. I have not visited in years but stopped by tonight for dinner. Place has gone WAY down hill. The meatballs might as well have been from the frozen section next door at Costco. Combined with their"arribiata" sauce it tasted more like a Mexican dish. Molinas Jose dip came to mind if you're familiar. Which is not a good thing. The "carbonara" if you can call it that was just atrocious. Cream based slop. Nothing reminiscent of a real pasta carbonara. The pizza, which I admit is why anyone should come for, was good. So that's the silver lining, but the other reason why I used to come: the cookies. I was so excited to at least redeem my meal with one of their jumbo cookies and what I got was a brown, burnt, disc that no where resembled what once was. Unfortunately, with so many other great pizza places in town, I will never be returning. So long Solario, it's been real. read more

Pizzeria Solario isn't just about great pizza since it's the whole experience. The pizza is absolutely delicious, with fresh toppings, perfect crust, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Every bite hits the spot. In my experience the service is always friendly and quick, making you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The ambiance is cozy, relaxed, and great for a casual night out or grabbing a bite with friends, it's my favorite spot. Honestly I order from them very often either stopping by or over the phone. Pizzeria Solario delivers on flavor, vibes, and service. Highly recommend! read more

Pepperoni pizza filled with pepperoni cups. It was just right. My pizza looked exactly like the picture. It was cold by time I got it. It took a while for delivery. But even still it was a really good pizza. Would definitely have it again. read more

Pizzeria Solario is absolutely my favorite pizza place in Houston. At first glance, it may not look like much, but these wood-fired pizzas are tops in the city. I've tried a number of pizzas here, but I always go back to my beloved pepperoni. On top of a thin crispy crust, you get some sauce and cheese but also an endless amount of small, crispy, oily pepperonis. For apps, we've had the fried calamari, but the flatbread appetizer is a favorite. The same great dough, baked with herbs and paired with olive oil. And for a drink, the frozen sangria is where it's at. As it's a smaller spot, the service is very personalized and outgoing. It's the feel of a neighborhood pizza spot but with a quality that far exceeds what you had in mind. read more

BEST PIZZA EVER! Fresh, Quality ingredients! Nothing about this place is mediocre! We arrived and the establishment was nearly empty. We sat at the bar and was greeted by a sweet lady. We ordered cheese bread with truffle oil on the side. A pep pizza and a half pep/half fungo pizza. All were delicious!!! Service was not the best but I'm gonna give her credit for trying. She was the only server working at the time we arrived, and there also seemed to be a slight language barrier. Just a tip for management, you can make more money if your staff are more attentive. We wanted to order drinks but she never came over to ask us what we wanted. Will return though! read more

A coworker invited me for lunch. They have great specials and prices. I grabbed the soup which was very flavorful and hot. I also got a cheese pizza. Well, four there to be four different types of cheeses it was pretty bland. I didn't like it much. The service was nice. The staff were engaging and shared their favorites with us. Even though this wasn't my favorite. I do think this restaurant has the potential to be great. So try them out. read more

We were so lucky this place was open on Christmas Eve. We came for lunch and practically had the place to ourselves. It was very cozy and we enjoyed lunch with the background of Christmas tunes! Our waitress was extremely helpful and attentive. We had some rambunctious kids with us and they were allowed to be a little on the louder side since we were the only ones there. We enjoyed the three pizzas we got. We requested for the the crusts to be crispy and they sure delivered. The fungo was earthy and the cheese was rich. The suprema was meaty and hearty. And the bilanceta had fresh veggies that were well cooked. The crust was chewy and thin with the perfect amount of fire cooked char. This place is truly a gem. Please give them some love! They have some amazing specials during the week too! Thank you for having us today. read more

Their crust tastes like sourdough and is the perfect texture! The toppings are very quality as well. Service is good too!

I've always passed this place whenever I go to Costco, but never went. My coworker told me this was his favorite pizza joint in Houston, so had to check it out. I also never really crave pizza, but I will have to agree; it is GOOD! Very much a mom and pop, not much seating indoors, but they do have outdoor & heaters! Everything is fresh, and it tastes very traditional. I love you can get anchovies with your Caesar salad as well. The fungho pizza with added fennel sausage is a MUST!!! read more

Great service here from the moment of entrance. We were greeted and seated, the staff is very professional. The Brussel sprouts were very tasty, and the Alla Benno pizza was great! All freshly made! We washed it down with some nice cold Sangria wine and a glass of Drylands Sauvignon Blanc. We enjoyed the music videos on display of some of the most iconic songs ever, the volume didn't overpower the room. Looking forward to coming back! read more

The best margarita pizza I've had in Houston! You can tell the sauce is fresh! They have the pizza making area right inside where you are sitting. I've been to this location many times and the service is always great! The pizza is always so fresh and great! I've sat outside, sat inside depending on the temperature. If you are looking for fresh pizza, highly recommend pizzeria Solario! I definitely want to go back for their lunch special - pizza salad and soup I think for $15 which is so worth it!! read more

Incredible fine. Our initial choice was Pizaro's Pizza in downtown Houston but they were closed for the day and I am glad so. Solario definitely did not look like much and it is tucked away from the sprawl of the skylines but the flavors are unique. I ordered the Fennel sausage and Pistachio Bianca pizzas. The dough is correctly done for a Neapolitan pizza with the right amount of crust char. The cheese is nowhere lacking but not overbearing in quantity. The pistachio ad sausages were generously placed. My only gripe with the place was the service. The waitress seemed rather bored and slow. The pizzas took way longer than estimated even though the place was empty where I had arrived. Overall, this was a positive experience. read more

Let me just go ahead and call this out: they have the best cheese bread plus marinara dip combo that I've ever had. This on its own already makes me give it the 5 stars that it deserves. The pizza/dough/sauce and toppings were all generous on the three pizzas I ordered. Best taste probably goes to the filetti then fungo then the pep. When I think of fancy pizza joints like this, I think of Pizaros. And this place beats them hands down. I'll be back for the truffle cheese bread and order a gallon of marinara for dipping and will definitely not share with anyone. 1/2 off bottles on Monday special can't be beat. If you're a wine-o, you already know. Next time, I'll try the frozen sangria. That was poppin' on the next table to us. read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday at 1pm...wasn't very busy. Which was surprising to me given the quality of the food and service. Light flakey crust, the sausage and prosciutto (I got the carne pizza) were super tasty. I normally only try restaurants that are 4.3 and above...I'm glad I stopped by this one. It might be my new favorite pizza spot. read more

I ordered a takeout of Margherita Pizza and it was awesome, very delicious and very fresh. The Margherita and Filetti Pizzas are my favorite pizza selections from Solario and never disappoint. My margarita pizza had a great, tangy tomato sauce in which you could tell was made with proper ingredients in-house. The cheese was thick and rich without being too runny or greasy. The crust had that oven, coal fire flavor combined with a doughy texture n some crispiness at the same time. The basil was a great topping already included providing an extra touch of herb taste to this pizza pie. The pizza I got also has a balanced tartness to it with some citrusy aftertaste in the sauce, which makes it very interesting and unique imo. I personally like this margarita pizza here even more than the one from True Food Kitchen. read more
