    (+) Their pizza is great when you eat it hot (+) Nice space inside with plenty of seating (+) There is an area in the back for larger parties (+) Servers were very accomodating for our large group (-) Pizza does not keep well and is not good when popped into the microwave next day (unfortunate) I've had Spanky's a few times from this location for my kiddos' school's spirit nights. Thank y'all for supporting the community! Enjoyed my first dine-in visit and I'm sure we'll be back again down the road.

    This was good and I enjoyed it though it was not quite as expected. I ordered the pepperoni pizza based off the pictures I saw online where it looked really good and really cheesy. When it arrived, I immediately could tell that the pizza was different from what I saw in the pictures. It definitely was cheesy and covered with pepperonis, but I feel like they definitely over baked it. The cheese as can be seen in the picture turned brown because they probably left it in the oven a little too long and had more of a crunchy texture as opposed to a soft cheesy texture like what I was expecting and what they advertised online. This of course affected the taste to where I feel like it wasn't as flavorful because it was over baked so that was disappointing. However, I will say that it was still good, especially when I reheated it later. My first impression was that it was just pretty decent but once I reheated it I did truly enjoy it so I overall liked this pizza. I just wish that it was not over baked when I got it so that definitely negatively impacted my experience. We also got some wings that were just okay as well. I think I would try here again and just maybe specify that I don't want the pizza to be overly baked because I do see the potential on it being really good though that wasn't quite my experience this time.

    The Spanky's restaurant chain is decent. They have hip old school diner vibe set clash in with Texas decoration. I did enjoy my pizza and the service was decent.

    The food here was really good. The moment we walked in, I could tell it was going to be a cute spot. It gave comfort food vibes and wasn't too crowded. The pizza was good and the chicken wings were okay. We were greeted immediately and our server was really nice. We did have to wait almost 30 minutes for dessert to come out, but overall, cute spot. I would definitely go back.

    We grew up eating Spanky's at Astroworld and the original location on Telephone Rd., so we decided to check out the location in Sharpstown for Father's Day. The restaurant is nice and spacious and it has a nice patio area. The service was average, our waitress checked on us frequently. The wings were good but they only come in one flavor, which is buffalo. We had the large Super Duper pizza, which had a lot of toppings but the pizza sauce wasn't seasoned so it made the pizza taste bland. The Watermelon Margarita was disappointing. It tasted like it was made with powder so it was tangy. I would go back try the Philly Cheesesteak.

    I have always driven by Spanky's and never quite felt a pull to come in to try their food but my cousin and her family told me this is their favorite place to try pizza so I decided to try. Walking in, I was surprised by how large it was. We decided to sit outside since the weather was so nice and it was kinda chilly inside. We got fried pickles for an appetizer and were pleasantly surprised by how big the portions were. The pickles themselves were cut very finely and fried perfectly where it was light and airy. We got 2 thin, medium pizzas - spinach and garlic & the special which is like a supreme pizza (Italian sausage, pepperoni, beef, green pepper, mushroom, & onion). The medium is 13 inches and is the perfect size for sharing. The pizzas were fantastic and not overly salty, perfectly crispy with just the right amount of toppings. I liked how it came out in raised platters that allow the oil to drain into so the pizzas don't get soggy with time, that was really thought out. Service was great and attentive. All in all, a great spot!

    I've always seen this restaurant from the highway and decided to stop to try it. Parking can be tight and the parking lot out front is small but there are spaces on the side and behind the restaurant. This place is very spacious inside and we were seated right away. While our waiter was slow, she was very friendly and accommodating. The menu options were great and we opted for the Philly cheesesteak, spaghetti, pizza, fried mushrooms, and fried cheesy tater tots. The food came out hot and quick and was tasty. Will definitely return again.

    1st time here & definitely coming back. Pizza was good, service was fast, & waitress was nice and the manager walk around to the tables making sure customers were satisfied with food & services. Ambiance was nice with sports channels on. I had the meat lovers pizza.

    BBQ chicken pizza

    Ordered the individual BBQ chicken pizza. Individual only comes in thin crust, which I perfer. This was my first time here so I give it a 8/10. There is plenty of items to choose from off the menu so everyone will be happy. I also ordered a frozen margarita, which I wish I would have gotten on the rocks instead.

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Hoonie K.

    My daughter and I had lunch here yesterday. The ambience is nice, wide open and a quasi-sports bar type of feel. Very clean. The service was good. The shared a large pizza and an appetizer. Chili Cheese Fries - 3/5: Just okay. The amount of chili was pretty disappointing and the cheese is a Mexican queso versus a melted cheddar. I think queso is good in small portions but hard to eat a lot of when it covers the whole dish. Pizza (meat lover's) - 4.5/5: My daughter and I both loved the pizza. They let you choose the type of crust and we chose New York. We both agreed the only thing keeping it from being a 5/5 was that it needed a bit more pizza sauce (the amount of cheese and toppings was spot on). Overall, enjoyed our lunch and would look forward to going back and trying some of their other pizza selections.

    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.
