We live so close that we could walk here and that's dangerous! Everything here is great. I was introduced to Pomodoros when my old employer ordered lunch from here and I was hooked. Their pasta is perfect and my absolute favorite is the pesto cream sauce.. If you haven't had it yet you are missing out! All their pasta dishes come with garlic bread and a side salad. We also can't get enough of their "Sweet Pig" pizza... Another thing to try if you haven't had it yet! We almost always order it to pick up and take home and I've never had to wait and the service is always great. I'm from Jersey and can honestly say that they have the "closest to home" pizza I've had! My favorite pizza topping here is definitely the meatballs. If you're feeling extra hungry get the fried ravioli appetizer too. The only reason I have rated this is less than five stars is the price. It's a little more expensive than some other local places but the quality of their food and service is worth the extra $$$ read more

I placed a to go order and I was very disappointed. It was obvious, by the sauce and ingredients that were slopped in one side of the dish of pasta, that it was frozen and microwaved. I never have had pasta carbonara with peas in it, and the pasta was mush. It was gross. Very bland and meh. I knew I made a mistake when I saw the ceiling in their dining room. It's all moldy, water stained and dripping on to the bare linoleum floor. Which looked disgustingly dirty. I gave 2 stars because they were nice but the food gets zero stars!! read more

Great service. Food was good but need more " NYC " on the sandwiches. Trying pie next but you are a Brooklyn born spot with no slices?

Eggplant parmesan sub was amazing - although I'm not certain all the veggies I requested were in it (and there was a piece of pepperoni?), it was still really good. please indicate to customers ordering to-go salads that you dress the salad before bagging it. Had I known this, I would have requested the dressing on the side when ordering. My mistake for thinking that was an industry standard. Took a little longer to prepare than I anticipated, but worth the wait. Overall, though the food was very delicious and fresh. Definitely recommended! read more

Unpretentious, delicious, and inexpensive. My girlfriend and I wanted to eat at a non-chain restaurant and found one on this Friday night. Pomodoros' food was just what we wanted for a quiet Friday night out. We also love the inexpensive wine. They start at three bucks a glass!! read more

We selected the restaurant because it's closeness to a concert,what a surprise, pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce light and delicious read more

Meatball sub was very good! We also had a cheese pizza which was ok. I was hoping for a WOW on the pizza but just average. Good service and price. We will come again and try other dishes and skip the pizza. read more

Oh my goodness this restaurant has mastered the art of Italian food. I'm pretty sure every dish will be delicious. I went there for a quick lunch and was delighted to see that they offered great lunch specials and offered recommendations based off what you were in the mood to eat. The dinning space was romantic and the food was great, you could tell everything was made fresh..would definitely come back again! Their calzone was the best and biggest I ever had! read more

We have not been to the restaurant in a year but was so looking forward to it. The service was great! However food was as if it was pre cooked and reheated. And after being at the restaurant for an hour we saw the owners and their granddaughter running around the place I'm guessing that's why the food was not intended to but the worst part was the owners daughter and her friend showing up two tables over being very very loud someone needs to tell the owners daughter she may enjoy the sound of her voice no one else does. Please remind the owners the restaurant business is about the ambience in a little bit about the food which they got that right very little we will not go back again will go to Olive Garden and get the same results read more

We went on a Saturday for lunch, the place was packed. By the time we ordered a table had come available. Had the chicken picatta and dd had the chicken fettuccine. Both were good. Mashed potatoes although edible, tasted like instant, only complaint I have. Most patrons were ordering the pizza. Will have to try that next time. Will go again. read more

I was crazing an antipasto salad and I haven't been able to find a good place around here until today. I will be going back to try this place again. read more

Incredible food and friendly service. A great menu with many choices to pick from. Went with my brother and all I can say is WOW. A must on dining out. You order at the counter, the food is fresh and delicious. Will I be back? Absolutely! At that location 14 years a fine tuned restaurant. Somewhat informal, relaxing self serve fountain drinks. Check out the website, great menu. See you there soon! read more

We stopped by last night for a pizza. We just recently moved to the area and have not tried this restaurant before. The staff was friendly and helpful and the pizza was very good. To be honest, we were just expecting an average pizza for a quick meal but it exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return and try a few of the other menu items. read more

Great food and very good prices. I really like the fact that the entree comes with salad and garlic bread included in the price and a very large portion of food for the main. This is a very great value for the price and leaves you with food for the next day. Very friendly staff too! read more

We walked in not even knowing how to order but luckily for us, the staff is pretty nice and helpful :) the food is not overpriced and the amount you get is way more than I could handle. On first glance it looked a little meh, because it honestly just looked like a regular cafe, but after eating, I can say I will come back many more times. They do serve wine as well as gelato, with all the homemade sauces and bread you could want! read more

No complaints what so ever. Service was quick and the food also came out fast as well. I had the Penne Pomodoro and it was delicious. You get a choice between a garden and Caesar salad with your pasta. The salad was fresh and very yummy. My sister had a pepperoni pizza and enjoyed it as well. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

Ray's Italian Kitchen - Penne Pomodoro - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Pomodoro's is our favorite place for pizza in this area! We always love the pizza and have never had a problem with it! We are vegetarian, so we order a large pizza with black olives and artichoke hearts! It is so good! The crust tastes homemade, as does the sauce! Very nice flavors! We usually also order either the Greek salad or the Garden salad--both are very fresh and delicious! The dressing on the Garden salad is a wonderful balsamic vinaigrette, and it comes with a bed of mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and black olives! Yum! Our 8-year-old son loves the cheese pizza here! They also have several pasta dishes on the menu and soup, oh and gelato! It is a great place to eat in or take out! They have tables inside and outside, so if the weather is nice you can sit in the shade of their umbrellas and enjoy dining outdoors! They make the pizza fast and it is always hot and fresh when we get it! I highly recommend Pomodoro's because they always offer high quality pizza and food that could pass for homemade! read more

Pomodoro's has great homemade meatballs, the sauce is tasty, and their pizza is also good, and it has handmade dough. Also had their cannoli which was fresh. Prices are good, and it's a good place to hangout. A real gem near Houston read more

Mediocre. Pricey. Party of 7, no one was really happy with the food. Coke Zero tasted horrible. Really disappointed, won't be back. Good luck. read more

We eat here quite often. It is one of our "go-to" spots. We generally like the food. Chicken comes out dry occasionally, but they are good about re-dos if you are assertive enough to request them. From our experience eating here, we've greatly improved our enjoyment by "hacking" the menu. For instance their pizza crust is top notch, but the center of their pizzas get soggy from too much cheese. Yes too much cheese can be a problem for pizza if what you love about pizza is the crust. I order their five topping pizza and ask them to go light on the cheese. The dry heat from the oven can then get to the center of the pizza and it's 500% better. My wife loves the Penne Pomodoro, but she "hacks" the dish by requesting they leave the penne off and serve the chicken over a base of their sauteed vegetables. When I have the moral fortitiude to eat something healthier than pizza, I like their Insalata Gorgonzola, but I ask them to throw a piece of salmon on top. For a pizza and pasta place they make an awesome piece of grilled salmon! It makes the dish. Other diners stop and ask me, "Oooh what's that? Where is that on the menu?" Hack the menu folks. Ask for what you want and they'll see what they can do. The kids? They're easily appeased with a pepperoni pizza. They ritually lay a few napkins on top of the pizza to soak up the pepperoni grease before eating, but then they are happy. So, basically, this ain't fine dining, but it is good family dining. Great pizza crust, good salads, and serviceable pasta. And the service cheerfully accommodates our requests to "hack" their menu and correct the occasional misstep. read more

Over priced and not authentic. Frenchys is a better option and its right around the corner. Better food, nicer staff and friendlier atmosphere read more

Awesome food. Awesome service. Order at the counter to eat in or to take out. Penne Pomodoro actually has fresh basil on it. This restaurant is consistently great. read more

Our first time here and we were very pleased with the freshness of the salads. The pasta dishes were made to order a delicious. The staff was friendly. I definitely recommend Pomodoros for casual dining and great pizza,pasta and fresh salads. read more

My absolute favorite pizza place. I have been coming here for years and have yet to have a bad experience. Again, the pizza is my favorite, but I have also tried many other things on the menu - all of which is spectacular. I would suggest this place to anyone. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, awesome service all around. read more

Fabulous hidden gem in the NASA area. Always fresh, yummy food. Salmon is really, really delicious. #FROMSCRATCH Very friendly staff.

This deserves a 4-star for the food. However I ordered this from a food delivery service and they do not include bread with their online orders. I will honestly find another Italian restaurant to order from next time to make sure i have a good hunk or two of bread to sop up all the yummy sauce. read more

Their pizza is the best in the Houston area! Ive been to a lot of pizza places and this one beats them all! The pizza sauce is amazing! Their pizza dough is perfect! Yum yum! So tasty! read more

Really good pizza. If the Plain cheese pizza is this good I bet the rest are even better. read more

You just do not find amazing Italian food like what I just experienced at Pomodoro's. The food and service are the truth (translation: fantastic, great, alright with me!!!) FRESH food that tastes heavenly. The atmosphere is clean and family-oriented. And all this at an unbelievably reasonable price! I love this place!!! Oh and don't forget to check in on Yelp for a 10% discount on your meal order. Will definitely be back (as in tomorrow )!! read more

upon entering this restaurant, i was a bit confused by its set up and decor. though decorated like an Italian bistro i suppose, it had somewhat of a quiznos feel. which i guess would mean they are on the right track but they are missing the warm and charming feeling i assume an little Italian bistro should have. the kid behind the counter seemed to be of relation to the owner and not at all pleased he was working at the family establishment on a Sunday afternoon... sorry kid, but no need to be stone-faced and bland. you're Italian, right?! where's the passion?! anyhow. my mother was treating me to lunch, so i took her recommendation and tried their fried appetizer, the pompdoro frito misto and a chicken Cesar salad. all, sub par. the app, fried calamari, shrimp and zucchini, was bland, bland, bland. i can not stand when fried food is not seasoned before frying. there is no correcting it. season the batter people... it goes along way, i swear! i tried pleasing my palette with a shake of some salt and pepper and though it helped a bit, it still did not tantalize the taste buds. the salad. how can you mess up a salad, you may ask? well the salad itself was pretty good but the hot chicken was completely overdone and dried out. i was so disappointed by this because when the plate was sat on my table and i saw the steam coming off the chicken, i did a little dance because i LOVE hot chicken on a cold salad. the chicken was so dry that i had no desire to finish half of the serving. since i was still a bit hungry after the boring appetizer and failed salad, i opted for gelato. the gelato was great! they have a small selection but really, do you need 31 flavors of gelato? no. the butter pecan was a tasty way to end our mother- daughter lunch. my mother swears by the food served up at Pomodoro's. I, on the other hand, will need further coaxing. It's locally owned and operated, which in my opinion, earns an extra star all on its own. i will try and revisit this place in the evening. i have a feeling that in the low light of the evening, this place may ooze with that Italian allure I was hoping it held. read more

Wow! Very good. Almost past this place over, with few to no cars in parking lot. Glad we stop! Best pizza by far! Kids loved the spaghetti. Workers were very nice overly helpful! read more

I will start with positives, as there are many, and I dont want to be that "disgruntled customer" everyone dreads. Pasta's, sauces and salads are excellent here. Period. Portions are generous. Now for the not so positives, which are heartbreakingly unfortunate: 1. POOR Customer Service. It is hardly unreasonable to expect a friendly greeting or smile when visiting a hole in the wall eatery. 3 visits in and I have yet to see a smile or be made to feel welcome. 2. Inconsistency. Three different visits, ordering the exact same pizza, three different times it has looked, and tasted, different. 3. Price. $16.95 for a "special of the day", is not a special, no matter how delicious the sauce. 1 cheese pizza, 1 pasta and two salads were nearly $50...unacceptable. Tonight was our 3rd and final visit to this place, which is unfortunate, because it is really close to our home, and the first time we ate here it was excellent. read more

So I was craving pasta ... I was headed to Olive Garden until I remembered that I would no longer eat at Olive Garden for pleasure anywho, so I started looking for pasta ... I literally asked Siri for pasta and this gem popped up... My phone knows me pretty well, Australian male Siri doesn't usually steer me wrong . He still hasn't. When my friend and I walked in we were immediately greeted with a smile, and EVERYONE said hi to us , Service, 5 stars. The kitchen is open and the guest can see everything going on back there, I like open kitchens ... It keeps a business honest and guests satisfied, 5 stars. When my friend couldn't decide what to eat, our cashier didn't waver-- he said take your time and also answered any and all of our questions, 5 stars. So after everything was ordered, I took out the 10% coupon on the Yelp app-- they honored it, 5 stars. My cheese pizza (small, but huge) and spaghetti and meatballs (which was the main attraction for me) with a drink, salad, and garlic bread came up to 20 bucks.... 5 freaking stars! Food didn't take long, and it was flipping amazing. The meatballs are huge ! They are made from 100% angus beef, thank goodness because I'm allergic to pork (jk, I just don't eat it lol) and the crust was perfect on my pizza. So many stars that 5 just isn't enough . I will be coming back to this place , oh, my friend (pickier than I am surprisingly) ordered eggplant parmigiana and fettuccine Alfredo .... She couldn't stop eating ... 'twas the bomb! She got a beer with her order and hers was 22$ for cheesy bread, salad, eggplant, and the eggplant. Mmmmmmm. Go ..... Now ! Well not now , they close at 10 pm .... So go before then ! Ciao xoxoxoxo read more

This is my go-to for pizza as I live nearby. I have only ordered the cheese and the margharita with tomato sauce and both are delish. Must order it "crispy" though because it will be doughy otherwise. The delivery is usually a long wait so if you are in a rush, you might want to pick it up. I recommend this place read more

Pizza is very good and reasonably priced. I've ordered a calzone and salad before and wouldn't order again. The calzone was very greasy and bland and the salad was just boring. I've been meaning to try the gelato - it looks great and they have rotating flavors. I usually pick up my order instead of dine in but the service for those few minutes is always good. read more

Pomodoros was a pleasant surprise but the specific pizza we got was a little lacking. The crust was on point but the boys were hankering for a little more flavor. There are no contentions over the cheesy garlic bread! Overall, we would try again but would get a different pizza! It's clear Pomodoros uses quality ingredients. read more

When visiting NASA in Houston, there are not alot of good budget friendly options. This is one of them. It's in a strip shopping center, easy to miss. Although they have a dining room, it's very cramped, with four tops everywhere. We only had the pizza, a cheese and a margarita...both pretty good. The kids approved. The bill was pretty decent and we were full. What more can you ask for. The service was really good and once again, I felt good that I supported a local business. Although I have had really amazing pizza for cheaper, I'm glad we found this place and I would recommend it to friends. read more

The food was good, the service was great. My boyfriend had the meatball calzone and I the cheese pizza, I would suggest getting toppings. The portions are huge for the price you pay. I'd recommend it! read more
