We absolutely love this place! We've been coming here since our oldest, now 10 years old, was just a baby. Now that we have three kids, we make it a point to stop by whenever we're in town. Everything we've tried has been delicious--from the pizzas and pastas to the mozzarella sticks. Our favorites are the Salsa Verde Pizza and the goat cheese appetizer. The kids always enjoy the cheese and pepperoni pizza, too. We've even celebrated a couple of birthdays here over the years, and the service has consistently been outstanding. On our most recent visit, Molly was exceptional! She was friendly, attentive, and made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this restaurant for great food, excellent service, and a welcoming family-friendly atmosphere! read more

We came to star pizza to give these buffet lunch special a try since it was literally less than $15 a person. The service was nice, somebody came to greet you at the table and asked you if you wanted to do the buffet which we agreed to. The pizza quality was average and unfortunately, unlike other pizza buffet places, they do not have a salad included in the offer, you had to pay an additional two dollars for a side salad. They did have a dessert pizza, which was actually pretty crunchy, just the right amount of sweetness, and goodness. For the money I would say just go to a Cici's pizza since it's probably about the same quality of a pizza, but Cici's pizza has a better salad bar which is included in the buffet. read more

Star pizza was great!! They have happy hour from 3-6 which seems great! I love how they do half toppings so you can try different flavors. I think we may have over ordered for three girls but it was great. We definitely carb loaded and felt very full afterwards, but I loved trying the different flavors and taking the leftovers home. Would definitely recommend Margherita and the chicken alfredo. The others were great too but these were the highlight. I liked the new york crust paired with the different toppings. Would definitely go again for a pizza trip :) read more

I'd realistically give Star Pizza in the Heights a 3.5 if Yelp allowed it. The pizza is good, but for the area it's definitely not the best. The salads are great though, especially if you're trying to feel a little better about indulging in pizza. The servers are friendly and the parking at this location is amazing !!! I never feel like I'm fighting for a spot. Portions are big and the lunch special is the perfect size. The fried potatoes are actually pretty good, though it's hard to mess up potatoes. The pasta salad was just okay and definitely needed a little zing, but for the price it wasn't bad. Overall, I'd recommend coming here for a hearty meal and some good gossip time. read more

My son commented that the pizza was heavy when when we picked it up for takeout. His wife selected a pizza with garlic and spinach toppings. He added pepperoni. I've never seen so much green on a pizza... the must have been a pound of spinach! The slices could not be lifted without the center collapsing. The flavor combination good. read more

That this place has only 3.5 stars is insane- their pizza is amazing. This is coming from a person who is pretty meh on pizza, but Star? Hell yeah, brother. Their Benz & Verde pizzas on Chicago-style wheat crust are my favorites. Grab a side (or pint) of ranch; they make it fresh, you won't be sorry. They also have solid salads and apps. read more

Star Pizza - Half Benz, half Verde, all delicious - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

We had a big party of 20 to pregame before a show at Rockefeller on Saturday. The service was great, but the pizza was terrible. My husband and I've eaten at the original Star Pizza's Norfolk location and it's so much better. I ordered the personal Ben's pizza. It's a perfect personal size if you're not sharing. I was able to finish my pizza to carb up with my beers. The pizza was dry and over baked that the crust was burnt on the bottom. It lacked tomato sauce and the crust was just too hard. I don't think we'll be back to this location. read more

The food and service were ok but since I was alone I could tell I was forgotten when placing my order in. There were two other large families there so it happens. I will say it's a nice place to go to spend time with family and friends. read more

We ordered a large (16in) New York Style Pizza named Ben's for pickup. It was basically all of the meats - ham, sausage, hamburger meat, and pepperoni. The pizza had lots of good toppings, a generous amount of cheese, and a balanced with not too much of anything paired with just enough stuff! The pie itself was a little salty for me. (I know, maybe it was all of the meats that made it so salty.) and the crust was so-so. read more

My flexitarian friend enjoyed the buffet which is tries quite recent reasonably and assured me that all the food was fresh and flavorful there they were kind enough to make a vegan pizza for me. They have vegan cheese and vegan pepperoni service was snappy. They offered craft beer because it goes great with pizza and if you're in need they have cheesecake which friend tell me from experience is quite good. A huge parking lot which is free. I went to Washington location but advance Montrose location at two is very good. read more

Deep crust whole wheat: very salty in some pH arts. Had to throw away major part of the pizza. Disappointed.

We've been to Star Pizza many times over the years but never this location and it did not disappoint. We started our meal by sharing some Caprese salad which was crisp, fresh, and delicious. We also ordered a large Starburst pizza with the expectation that we would take some leftovers home. We ordered deep dish but it isn't just thick dough like some places. Just delicious crust-more of a medium thickness but it comes up the edges of the deep dish. Very flavorful crust and pizza-I wish they'd open a location in Cypress so we could have it more often! read more

Popped in for some pizza. Couldn't decide on what to get but the very friendly server helped me decide between 2 pizzas. We did half and half. LOL I didn't even think of asking that. I did half Starburst and half Hanks. Very filling! I always order a large so I can take home about half as left overs. I didn't even kill half of it because it filled me up! So maybe 2 1/2 meals out of a large pizza (for 1 person). I like that! There is a good variety of pizzas to choose from. Salads as well. I went with a small Greek salad with the House Italian. Very good! There were other options like sandwiches and pasta as well. Maybe next time. My server, Marcus S, was very attentive, very nice, and you just knew that he knew what he was doing. That's starting to be a rare thing at some restaurants these days. This pizza joint has a pizza joint feel to it. Great for a group, the family, and probably even a company event. Sports team dinner would be smart to come here as well. Decent size parking lot as well. read more

I was really excited to try Star Pizza, as they offer a gluten-free crust. However, unfortunately, I was disappointed. The crust was fine - nothing bad, nothing great. But the biggest disappointment was the size of the pizza. It reminded me of the personal Pizza Hut pizzas I'd get back in the day. That would've been fine it was not also $13+. The friends I went with were very disappointed in NY style crust as well; it was too thick to be considered NY style. read more

I did pick-up so I cannot comment on service except that I was greeted when I walked in and the person who checked me out was friendly. I got the pepperoni deep dish pizza and it was pretty good. I paid for extra cheese and it seemed Iike a normal amount of cheese (not extra) and the few pepperoni got lost in all of the sauce, meaning there wasn't enough of them even though it's a deluxe pepperoni pizza. But in all it was tasty and I'd order it again with more pepperoni. read more

We ordered a pepperoni pizza from Star and got it as take out. The pizza did not take too long to make and the people at the cash register were friendly. The best way to describe the pizza is a perfect feel good pizza. It is a simple yet great option and we hope to try to more of their other pizzas in the future. read more

Star Pizza is one of my all-time Houston faves. I've been coming here for years, but not often enough that each time I visit it feels like a special occasion. There are 3 Houston area locations - the Heights, Norfolk, and Katy. I wish I lived in the delivery radius! But alas, I usually call ahead my order for pickup. They make it a seamless process. When I call in, they have your phone number saved in their system and the pizza is usually ready within 20 minutes of ordering. At this location, there is also a separate pickup line inside for to go orders and the pizza is always nice and hot. My personal favorite pizza to order is the chicken alfredo with added bacon. All of their specialty pizzas are fun with delicious flavors that blend together really well. They also master the classics like pepperoni or supreme. I'm not a big fan of Chicago deep dish style pizza, but from what I hear Star Pizza has some of the best in the area. Definitely worth a visit (or two)! read more

I tried this pizza at a friend's house and had to come back for it! I got the big starburst pizza and it's sooo good! I'm a supreme pizza girly so I love all the toppings and I'm a sucker for good pizza crust island this one didn't disappoint. I wish I got the employee's names but everyone was so nice when I walked in. They greeted me, helped me decide on my order and just had amazing personalities all around! I ordered mine to go but I noticed that too can dine in and they have daily specials so I'll definitely be back. read more

Everything is Great at STAR PIzzA The service, the ambience, and last but not least the FOOD. From the appetizers to the main course and don't forget the desserts ( carrot cake). The have a Monday & Friday only lunch buffet. Well worth it and get a side salad ti go with your drink. Will definitely return for the food all the time. (Food was so good I forgot the pics) read more

I have been going to Star Pizza for years but this was my first time stopping at this location. They are known for their deep dish pizzas so I definitely recommend getting that if you stop here - you won't be disappointed! We went on a Saturday night and the place was surprisingly empty. We ordered a small starburst and a small chicken alfredo. Both pizzas were AMAZING, per usual. This was definitely too much food for only two people but it made for perfect left overs the day after. The service here is always very friendly and fast. Our waiter was attentive, funny, and friendly. I will keep coming back here! read more

"I am giving them 5 stars on Yelp!" is exactly what I said when I finished my lunch. We came for a work lunch during the week and when we walked in I thought it was cute and old-school looking but wasn't expecting much. We were seated promptly, our server was very nice and constantly checked on us. I decided to try the personal sized, Chicago Style Deep Dish "Cowbell" pizza which had slow-smoked beef brisket with BBQ sauce, cheddar, mozzarella and provolone cheese blend. When I first looked at it I thought it was small but it was actually pretty filling! This had to be one of the best pizzas I've EVER had! I cannot wait to go back and have it again! read more

Joe's, deep dish with the wheat crust, was delicious. Only drawback the spinach was not hot but pizza had plenty of sauce. Brought some home and nuked it. World of difference. Hot made it even more delicious. Friends had New York style pizza. They thought it was good but not enough sauce. Service was quick and efficient. Sat outside and tables are spaced out for easy conversations. Parking was good for midday Saturday. read more

Not sure what the bad reviews are about but is literally classic pizza! Remember back in the day when you grabbed a blockbuster movie and ordered a pizza? Ok literally that's the vibe here it's giving Toy Story Planet pizza! Nothing too fancy but the pizza speaks for itself. Great customer survive but a bit of an extended wait time for pizza. The giant meatballs are my favorite! Grab all your friends and grab some good old fashioned pizza! read more

How does Star Pizza average 3.5 stars?! Are y'all on crack? Star Pizza is the gold standard of pizza in Houston and has been for about 40 years. It's one of the few places that has been able to maintain its high quality throughout its entire history. I don't know if it's the fresh ingredients, the generous portions or magical elves making the pizza - but their pizza is far superior to most. My favorite lately is the Chicken Alfredo on a New York style wheat crust. Perfection. It's heavy on the mushrooms so we do 1/2 without because my wife doesn't care for them. The white sauce is delicious and the pizza is also garlic heavy. My favorite classic is the Starburst on Chicago style crust. It's their version of the supreme pizza and it's amazing. There's seriously something for everyone at Star. You will not be disappointed. I haven't and I've been a customer for 36 years. read more

It has been a long time since having Star Pizza. The service was great (even on a Friday night)

Do a deep cleaning. Does not look clean and never has. Tell your servers with long hair to pull it back. Went 15 years between visits and it looked the exact same. That's not a compliment. Pizza was as ok, not amazing. Kudos for having vegetarian (even vegan options)! read more

I think the intention is probably there to make good pizza. When I took a bite I was hoping for a cheezy salty gooey bite of goodness. When I took a bite it tasted like.....really nothing. The flavor can be described as AWOL. Deep dishes are messy. This pizza was soggy. The wait was longer than expected but they were slammed. It was difficult to pick up my order. They were nice people though. And it had a good amount of people there. read more

Star Pizza is my go-to deep dish spot in Houston and has been for a long time. It has a comfortable, cozy restaurant vibe and has consistently delivered great service and excellent food. While I have tried some of their pasta dishes and really enjoyed them. my go-to order for the table is a Caesar salad and a deep dish. The caesar dressing is a little heavy on the garlic but personally, that's just how I like it. The deep dish is the best I have had outside of Chicago. The crust is always slightly crisp on the outside while remaining just slightly doughy in the center, with the perfect ratio of toppings, cheese, and sauce. I have tried many of their topping options and can honestly say I've never had a bad pizza here. If you're in the mood for a laid-back, consistently amazing deep-dish pizza I would highly recommend checking out Star Pizza. read more
