Finally got to try this place out. Pretty pricy pizzas. I use cheese pizzas as my baseline. And the cheese was great. All the pizza had nice chewy crust and very thin crust. All the other pizzas we got were very flavorful but I think less is more for pizza. Each slice is extremely filling. We got the carrot (good mix of flavor but didn't taste a lot of pecan), bone marrow (simply too heavy for me, I think if it had broccoli time something it'd be great, instead I was adding salad to each slice), crispy chicken (nothing was crispy on this pizza, flavor is good but no crispy chicken like described). We got all our pizzas well done and the crust was still floppy and a bit soggy. The carrot side and Caesar salad also like flavor bombs. Overall it's a great Neapolitan pizza spot.

The black box

It took me many a months to take a spin around the Tailspin block. I heard great things so boy was I surprised to find them located across the highway from one of my favorite 'za slingers Pizaro's! That's bold! I love Neapolitan pizza pies but this was my first time experiencing "NeoTexan" pizza. That being said, I ordered the One for the Herd with Unami chili bomb, the Pig & Chicken (for my partner), and an order of roasted carrots, leaving my fate in the trusted hands of chef brothers Devan & Eddie. Their menu packed with ingredients like smoked tomato, bone marrow bolognese, sherry and thyme pan roasted mushrooms, and coffee crusted steak, I grabbed my pies from the beautifully decorated pocket pizza window expecting big bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and precise execution. My husband would say he received all three. I would say the same regarding the carrots. The pie I chose wasn't my favorite rendition of the translated dish. This is perhaps because I've experienced other versions with bouncier crusts to support the bold favor profile, and pockets of fresh vegetables and acidity that do the same. Nevertheless, I can certainly say Talespin crafts a quality pie. I'm interested in trying their other offerings, and am incredibly excited to add a new style of pie to the intimate Houston pizza scene!

Caesar Salad
Rachel O.

Keeping with my five theme because quality and staff are consistent. I still believe their Caesar Salad is outstanding. Jalapeno Spinach Artichoke Dip left us a little disappointed; while good, we wish the Jalapeno shinned through more. Chili crunch pizza without pickles, surprisingly delicious. We wish the crust held a little better but overall great quality.

Bone marrow Bolognese

Really good pizza near the spring branch area. Such unique and different pizza flavors we throughly enjoyed. We got the bone marrow bolognese, the big red, Chili Crunch Chicken, and the Rita. All were delicious and so unique. The spices and flavors were melting on my tongue. The service was 10/10. Accommodating and awesome. Small place on the inside but we still ate there as they offered paper plates and napkins. I would recommend if you're in the area.

One for the Herd
Sean K.

This was my third time trying Talespin Pizza, and I've now established based on 3 tries: this place is legit. Everything on the menu sounds delicious. I've had the bone marrow bolognese pizza - amazing. Second time was build your own pizza (BYOP) with lots of veggies - also spectacular. Third time around, we heard about Shawn the Food Sheep's collab creation - the One for the Herd - which is basically a tikka masala pizza - and again, so good. If you're into creative pizza inventions (they call themselves a neotexan sourdough pizza place), Talespin is definitely worth a try, and then another, and another. Overview of experience: the restaurant is located off I-10 near Kirkwood on the feeder on the north side of the freeway. Parking can be tight but the spaces turnover quickly as they get a lot of to-go business. You walk in, ordering counter is 5 feet from the door, stand in line (not for long) and they take your order. You pay, tip, and they give you a buzzer. 15 minutes later - voila! The space is quite small. There are 4 seats inside and a few tables outside. It's Houston so it's either 40 degrees outside in the winter or 90 degrees in the summer. Just kidding - there are plenty of good months you can enjoy your pizzas outside. The place is clean but definitely not good to large parties if you plan to dine in. Pro tip: if nature calls, you can ask to access the restroom and they'll let you use it. I'm hoping this place does really well and stays in business for a very long time!

Shout out to shawnthefoodsheep on IG for recommending this place! Talespin pizza was some of my favorite pizza I've had in Houston! What they call "NeoTexan" sourdough pizza, I call delicious haha. We came on a Fri night for dinner and this place was BUSY, but for great reason. My only small complaint was that I didn't realize how small this place was before coming here. There is literally only 4 counter seats inside at the window then enough space to form a small line to order/pickup. Small space aside, this pizza was creative and very well made. We tried their B2P2, bone marrow bolognese, and their classic pepperoni. All 3 pizzas were so good it was hard to pick our favorite! I actually want to come back ASAP because so many of the pizzas on the menu sounded too good not to try, specially the coffee cowboy and chili crunch chicken. My only other tip would be to order your pizza well done if you're taking your pizza to go and have longer than a 15 min drive. Otherwise, dig in right away and you'll be pleased for sure, enjoy!

Devin & his bro own it , they have been open for about 17 months. They came here from Austin. Their pizza is amazing. They use high-end quality ingredients. It's a tiny place. You basically walk up and order your pizza called in and you leave. They've got about four tiny tables outside, kind of like sprinkles, cupcakes set up this Pizza is blowing away the competition you've got to try it out.

Neotexan Pizza?? I had to try it! I love when pizza has a paper thin crust and this was exactly that! The outercrust was also chewy and airy. I ordered an assortment of pizzas since everything on the menu sounded so unique! So, I had my eyes on the bone marrow bolognese pizza for the longest time, but whenever I wanted to order it, it was sold out! Same thing happened every time there was brisket offered as a topping, so it must be popular! The pizzas are so pretty. Not the absolute best I've ever had but compared to other pizza places in the area, this spot is not bad. I'm not sure how I felt about having buffalo sauce and bbq sauce on the same pizza (it was called the Buff or BBQ and we ordered it with buffalo sauce but bbq sauce was drizzled on top too??), or the ricotta being sweeter than normal, or was I tasting hot honey on everything??? I finally tried the bone marrow bolognese but actually it didn't turn out to be my favorite. The cup pepperonis are great! The pizzas aren't super salty like everywhere else. The truffle pizza turned out to be my favorite out of the assortment we ordered! Also, ask for the pizzas to be well done/extra crispy because I feel like the crust kind of flops normally. So out of everything we ordered, the truffle fun-guy (fungi), pepperoni, and cheeseburger ones were the best.

I highly recommend this spot for pizza. The customer service is excellent and so is the pizza. I appreciate them having halal options, and they confirmed they are very careful with cross contamination between halal vs. non-halal items. I got the Coffee Cowboy pizza, which consists of coffee-infused steak and a smoked onion sauce. IT WAS AMAZING. The steak on there was SO TENDER and the flavors just fused together so well. I only wish there was a little more steak on the pizza. The inside space is pretty tiny, with some bar seats, but the outside has tables and chairs, so keep that in mind when it's triple digits out. I really appreciate that they have paper towel on the tables because things can get really messy. I wish I tried this at the beginning of my trip instead of my last day, I probably would have ate here 2 more times!

B2P2

The pizza was absolutely perfect! I only wish they had more seating in the restaurant. The workers there are so nice and welcoming! I am very happy with our choice for dinner! Will be back again!

Back again this time for my daughters 18th birthday. Decided to take it back to the era of pizza and a movie like we use to when we were kids, just leveled up the pizza while watching black phone 2 Chicken pesto Pepperoni (minus ricotta- cause not everyone is down with ricotta smh) Cowboy coffee Caesar Salad Didn't get to eat it there had to get it to go and drive it back to sugarland so that's the only part that sucks because their pizza is good cold, Luke warm, even for breakfast the next day but having it fresh out of the oven is like no other.

Saw this place on the Houston Chronicle's 100 Best Places to Eat in Houston list, and it was a new name to me, so I had to correct that. A friend and I were getting together for a girls night, and it was perfect timing to try a new place. I'm so glad I looked up reviews before heading over. I read that the place was more for pick up orders and there wasn't much seating for dine in, so we switched to a girls night at mine while I ordered online and picked up. The process to order was super easy. Their website is easy to navigate and the descriptions for the pizza are detailed and helpful. They have some unique choices that I've never seen before like the carrot pizza with a pecan pesto sauce and candied pecans. Yes please. They also have a coffee crusted steak on a pizza. I didn't get that this time, but I'm so interested and have a feeling I'll be going through the entire menu bit by bit. We ordered the carrot and the Rita, which is a margherita pizza with the twist of chimichurri sauce. We also ordered the boneless wings with the chipotle herbs de Provence seasoning and the honey habanero seasoning. My friend wanted me to get extra really good ranch and chili crunch ranch. Picking up and parking was easy. The folks inside were so sweet. I did have to remind them about the extra sauces, but that's why you check your order before leaving. We loved all of the pizza and surprisingly I didn't have leftovers. The Rita was phenomenal and the carrot was something I have never tasted but can't wait to have more of. The sauces were good. I will say the really good ranch was kinda meh, just a bit tangier, but the chili crunch ranch was sooo good. I loved the honey habanero wings. My husband did find the chipotle seasoning a bit drying, and he couldn't get through those. I really can't wait to be back and try more, and my friend is now having a party soon and ordering from here. Till we meet again, Tale Spin!

Quality toppings and delicious contemporary pizza! Customer service was great. Will be taking out pizza from them, as much as possible when we're passing thru the area.

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.
