    Good place for fellowship and food though service in a fairly empty dining room was slooooooow. A group of 12 co workers with a variety of tastes were easily accommodated but the kitchen struggled to get out food. It came out in shifts over 40 minutes. Checking out was also slow. Food was decent though.

    Meat lovers
    Ralf R.

    Haven't been here for over 10 yrs. Brought my brother and his family. 6 of us and ordered a Limited time Hot Honey and a meat lovers large. Mom order a fettuccine alfredo pasta and loved it. Let me tell you the hot honey was fantastic and the meat lovers was great. Meat lovers was a solid 8 outa 10 Hot honey was a great 9 outa 10 I missed this place and glad I came back. Definitely must try

    I'll start by admitting that I'm a pizza snob. That's not to say that I don't care for chain restaurants or even something from the grocer's freezer on occasion. This place produces a decent pizza in a fun atmosphere with good service. We tried the NY Style and Thin versions. A NY crust is supposed to be slightly crisp and foldable. The version here was more like the standard national chain -- a little on the thick side with no discernable crisp. On its own, it's OK. But don't call it New York Style when it's really Papa John's style. The thin version is more accurate ... a cracker crust that resembles a bar pie. A well-executed cracker crust brings the crunch (i.e., Marco's and thousands of bars out there). This place, not so much. I think this will be better warmed up in the toaster oven later today. -- The sauce here is bland, but the cheese and pepperoni are quality. Further, both pies were served right out of the oven and arrived scorching hot. That's a good thing. I waxed nostalgic and ordered fried mushrooms. These came straight from a bag that was likely bought from Sysco., and that's OK. The chips and queso, which are also fine, were delivered to the table because I happened to mention that we were first-timers at Spanky's. I realized, before coming here, that Spanky's is a Houston institution. While the service, atmosphere and prices are all outstanding, the pizza is not memorable. Perhaps I just don't get it. I've only lived here for 10 years, after all.

    This location is very busy on Wednesday nights! Eat a light snack before coming. I love coming here the pizza and sides are amazing and so tasty. The ambience is busy but the service is great!

    Fried pickles

    Spanky's Pizza...great food, fun atmosphere, and good service. I've been going to Spanky's since childhood...Pizza is always fire! I prefer the thin crust. Got different variations, all were super tasty! Ordered 1/2 mushroom 1/2 cheese large, ordered pepperoni and jalapeño, pepperoni pizza. Wings were super tasty, big wings, sauce is rich not too hot but very flavorful. Kids spaghetti was so good...no complaints from the kiddos today! Ordered the fried pickles & fried mushrooms...batter is perfect, light, crispy. Both served with ranch dressing. We also ordered a side salad...very fresh, ranch is always so good. Service was good, waitress was super friendly and helpful. If you haven't checked out Spanky's Pizza...you're missing out!

    Fried Pickles

    Extremely delicious place to stop in and enjoy lunch. I ordered the fried pickles for appetizer, and the baked spaghetti. Both were good The spaghetti was a full serving, so I have leftovers - yum! The service was a bit slow but all the staff members were willing to assist. The ambiance is very friendly and fast paced. I will be returning for lunch!

    Deep dish Duper.
    Gilbert A.

    Best deep dish in Pasadena TX great atmosphere wide variety of food choices. There's a great bar with plenty of appetizers.

    Veggie Lasagna
    Jazmine S.

    I ordered to go so I don't have much to say about service. But I can say that the food was so good that I do plan on going in person to dine in. I wanted to try the pizza but saw that they have other foods as well so I got both the chicken alfredo pizza and veggie lasagna. I was very happy to see that they actually have veggie lasagna, as a lot of places that have Italian food do not. I also liked that they have different sizes of pizza (s,m,l). I had a small since I ordered the lasagna as well. Both items were delicious and the next time I go, I will definitely get the lasagna again.

    This is my second time visit in Spanky's but the first time at this location. I first went to the location of telephone Road about 10 years ago. This location seems a lot newer. So I assume this location is probably the second location. Food: I went with their thin crust lunch pizza with three toppings. It was absolutely amazing. My girl went with the wings and they were just as good. It's funny because I haven't been to Spanky's in 10 years but I remember exactly how the wings tasted and talk about quality control because the wings tasted exactly the same. They were absolutely amazing. They are also very large. Huge wings. Full of flavor and very tasty. I would definitely come back here again and try more of their food. If I lived near the south side I would probably visit this location a lot more but I'm deep in the northwest so it's kind of hard to make it out there. I will definitely come back soon. The customer service was really good. The young lady that waited on us was very attentive and make sure we got everything we need in a timely manner. I will definitely be back here soon. Thanks again

    The nut that was in my pizza.

    Ate there in May 10th at around 12:30. Found a metal screw nut in my pizza. Was told it fell from their cooling racks. They comped the pizza and apologized but, I still got charged the rest of the meal. They also didn't say anything like I hope this doesn't dissuade you from coming back. They really didn't seem to care too much. I've gone to that location or Telephone for almost ten years but never again. I like my pizza without extraneous hardware.

    Wings

    Service has never been great when we come(literally have never had a good service experience) but the wings and pizza are really good here, probably the best we've ever had. This time I tried something new and was disappointed. The buffalo chicken sandwich was not a filet, it was two chicken tenders which made it a messy pain in the butt to eat with the tenders falling out or trying to take a bite and the tender slip and your bite is all bread. The tenders were also so over cooked I choked on a piece and pulled out a long sliver stuck in my throat. The tomato on it was also disappointing(pictured). Come here with patience for the wait staff, bc you're gonna need it, but you'll have the best wings or pizza if that's what you ordered.

    Half margarita half cheese deep dish pizza
    Camille S.

    Ample parking, large inside with separate bar area. Was recommended by an older gentleman that frequented this place for many years and raved about the deep dish pizza. So we had to try for ourselves. Husband wanted the margarita pizza and I just wanted plain cheese so we combined both on one small pie for a quick lunch . We ordered the sweet tea and it was the perfect combo. We will definitely be ordering from there again when in the area.

Dinner started off with delicious garlic bread and dipping sauce. Table has all the condiment trimmings of red pepper, salt, pepper, Parmesan, and garlic powder for the diehard vampire hunters. Pretty pleased to have an option for a ridiculous amount of garlic. Breaking open the bread and seeing the steam unfolding into swirls past the crisp outer layer was a gorgeous sight. Dipping sauce was good as I added a bit of the added table condiments. Dinner came with a dinner salad. I ordered crab and shrimp ravioli which was dressed with carrots and peas. I added an obscene amount of garlic and capers for an added flavor composite. The raviolis were absolutely delicious. By far some of the best ravioli that I have had in the recent years. This was my first to experience crab and shrimp stuffed ravioli and they did not disappoint. The added capers really kicked it up. Dessert was going to go the norm of tiramisu but the Dubai Chocolate cake caught my eye and salivated my mouth. The pistachio and Katafi pastry filling was superb. The slight katafi pastry crunches against the creaminess of the pistachio was texture heaven! Highly recommend this dessert! Overall my meal was wonderfully done. From start to finish, I was given great service and more importantly a full belly with an Italian ambiance. As a solo diner, it was a pleasure to visit here and enjoy a delicious meal! Will be back again Shoutout to Ariana the server on my returning visit as she was incredibly genuine and well attentive to my returning visit. Ordered an appetizer of meatballs which came out piping hot. Sauce was delicious. Made mini subs from the garlic bread. Dinner was Chicken Carciofini. Sun dried tomatoes, spinach, and chicken was seasoned well in sauce over angel hair. Found the dish refreshing in flavor and truly a new favorite of mine. Dessert was a key lime pie to go. Excellent tartness was matched with the sweetness of the topping.
