You order at the counter and the service was nice. We got the margherita and prosciutto pizzas. I liked that they gave fresh Parmesan to put on top. The actual pizza felt a bit doughey to me and too much sauce. I like pizza sauce plenty but it was just drenched on the margherita. Nice ingredients but could use better execution. Not bad but not good enough for me to come back.

Easily some of the best pizza I've ever had…read more Friendly staff upon walking in. We were seen once the line moved through to us. We had the order put in ahead of time and it was ready on time. The space is smaller but I think its designed to be that way. More so a spot to pickup and if need be theres a few tables in and outside to eat at. We ordered the pig and chicken pizza along with the truffled mushroom bruschetta. Both 10/10. The buschetta by itself can be an order. Good lord it was so good. Nutty, mushroom, cheesy crispy but not dry bread. Im a big toppings make the pizza guy. Perfect crust. I asked for it to be cooked a bit longer because i like really crispy edges. Good bread to topping ratio. You can tell the toppings arent just run of the mill stuff you put on top. The pizza was flavorful, the ricotta was creamy and gave a good cut through with the fatty meats on the pizza. Wonderful job talespin. I need to come back for the breakfast for dinner pizza.

We finally made our way back here and had a more enjoyable experience. After reviewing my feedback…read morefrom last time, I still think the crust could use a bit more salt in the dough--but that's just my preference! We tried the "truffle my fun-guy" this time and it had a lot more flavor than our last pizza here. The crust was a better texture than I remember. Also, I think this place is pretty good value for pizza size / price. Especially compared to other places in the area that I enjoy. I liked the topping flavor this time, but I'd probably try something else next time. Their topping combinations are very unique, but I'm not sure they're up my alley entirely. But for now, this would be a place I'd add to my rotation. Also, I do see that they've added some tables outside, which is a nice touch for when there's good weather.

First time here, not busy when we arrived although more started to come in as the afternoon progressed. Fun, rustic set up with mixed seating and a good amount of outdoor seating (too hot for that) -focal point is an area with steps (could be a play area) and a big screen TV. World Cup Futbol was on and it looks like this is a spot where you can watch Futbol if there is a match. Pies with enticing topping combinations made it hard to pick just two. We ordered the Dream Catcher and Troublemaker. Dream Catcher-you had me at Goat cheese and Truffle and the Fior Di Latte took it over the top! Troublemaker was also enjoyed with the Chicken Italian sausage which is not available everywhere. Bonus-house made tomato sauce-which was delicious. A couple of salads and desserts so it's all about the pizza here and that's just fine. Service was upbeat and engaged. They do have another location in the Heights. I would say one of the best pizza spots in Htown. Don't miss the Dream Catcher!

After a very entertaining Houston Filmmakers showcase at River Oaks Theatre, we felt the need for…read moresustenance and because of past experiences, we made our way to Pizzana. I have to confess that I'm a bit of a pizza snob, as are my companions, so it's noteworthy that all three of us gave very high marks to the pies here. Dan and Azar both ordered the Neo Marguerita pizza (with mushrooms added), and I got the Funghi. I think a significant highlight of their Neo Marguerita pizzas was the sauce - extra rich and intense from tomato pulp - it enhanced all the other ingredients perfectly. My Funghi pizza was just a delight in every way. You simply can't go wrong with mushroom umami and the sweet intensity of caramelized onions. The cheese and crust were miraculous, too. Did I mention that this was on a Wednesday? My bad. It just so happens that on Wednesdays wines are half off! A crisp, clean Pinot Grigio paired well with our meal. Last, but certainly not least, the service was above par - efficient, friendly, and responsive. My takeaway: if you want authentic, delicious food and a welcoming vibe, go here! You won't be disappointed.

Parking can be tricky depending on what side you're coming from. GPS kinda took us to park behind Honest Mary's / by Izakaya Wa. Must pay for parking here, but nothing too crazy. We ordered the following.. - Cacio e Pepe pizza: pretty good and I enjoyed the parmigiano crema. Creamy and delicious. We didn't order pepperoni, but would probably recommend getting it to feel more fulfilled. The pizza is small and thin enough for one person to eat by themselves. - Pappardelle alla bolognese: it's what you'd expect, nothing too special about this pasta. The parmigiano crema was once again a nice addition. - Tiramisu: probably the best tiramisu I've had in a long while. Good espresso was soaked into the lady fingers. I enjoyed every bite. It is on the pricey side for a small piece of tiramisu. Service was overall good. Our server checked up on us several times. I will say service is a little slow though. She was doing her best. She was covering a good amount of tables by herself. Ambiance was nice. Not too casual, but still nice. Indoor and outdoor seating. Our table was nicely spaced out from the other tables. I like it when I don't feel like I'm dining next to my neighbor. Would I return? Yes! Would I recommend going here? Yes! Thanks for an enjoyable meal, Pizzana!

Spanky's Homemade Pizza & Bar - Great Food & Atmosphere! Spanky's Homemade Pizza & Bar is a fantastic spot for a casual meal with family or friends. The open-concept layout creates a welcoming and spacious atmosphere, perfect for gathering and enjoying a meal together. With plenty of TV screens throughout, it's also a great place to catch a game while dining. The menu offers a variety of tasty options, but the stromboli is a standout - fresh, flavorful, and generously stuffed! The restaurant is family-friendly, making it a great choice for all ages. Plus, the free parking is a convenient perk. Fast service. Overall, Spanky's delivers on both food and experience. I'd definitely come back! read more

Ultimate setup for a Friday team lunch! Finding a spot that hits the trifecta of fast service, budget-friendly prices, and massive booths is rare, especially when you're trying to corral a group of coworkers during the busy lunch hour. There is nothing worse than watching the clock tick down while waiting for your food, so a lightning-fast kitchen serving up great pizza and pasta is an absolute game-changer. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a big fan of crispy edges and the 4 square format gives plenty of those to chew on. There's 6 or 7 named pizza options that you can order, or you can just build your own, which is the best way to go probably. The Griz ended up being my favorite, as it balanced flavors well with out getting soupy. The supreme was heavily sauced, and ended up sitting in a puddle of the drippings that made that made the crispy part less crispy. Also tried the steak fingers from the Bar's menu.
