    a plate of pita chips and bowls of dips
    Mark M.

    Update: came again, artichoke dip is amazing, flatbreads are tasty, the entrees are good, but the service is really really good. The servers are just as attentive and nice as last time. 10/10 service!

    The food and service was fantastic ! Good selection of craft beer as well! Had the "standard" pizza, Native Texan beer and the flatbread appetizer with three dipping condiments was delicious .

    After coming to this restaurant before I'm disappointed with the food. We ordered the chicken tortilla soup and Al pastor pizza. The tortilla soup tasted nothing like a tortilla soup, more like a tomato beef broth with chicken oh and no tortillas. Different would be ok if the soup actually tasted good. The pizza was actually sent to the table without cheese? Was told this pizza didn't have cheese so I had to send it back to have some mozzarella melted on top. Unfortunately we won't be back, nothing special here.

    You had me at thin crust and "mini pizza" (like the size of a dessert plate). So salad and mini-pizza was the perfect lunch portion for me. I ordered the San Franciscan as I always love a good sausage, roasted garlic and fresh basil on my pizza and this particular one had it all... Menu is well varied with pizzas, calzones, flatbreads and dips. Mention that it's your first time, and you may get a free dessert....I did ! Btw, Sally, my waitstaff was one of the best...she is a role model for customer service!

    I ordered the dip sampler to go and added marinated cucumbers for $1.75. There were only 3 pieces of cucumber. What a ripoff.

Tucked…read moreaway in McAllen, TX, this fun little pizzeria balances the classics with some unexpectedly creative combinations. Our group of six stopped in on a Tuesday evening and we were able to get seated without a wait--though we may have just gotten lucky! The menu has everything from traditional flavors to more adventurous options. Hot Cheetos on a pizza? Some might think it's crazy but it works! I ordered the Franz pizza and absolutely loved it. I shared a few slices with the table, and everyone was also surprised by how well the flavors came together. The dough was perfection! The atmosphere is just as entertaining as the food--there's a giant video wall that I assume is a nice spot on game days. The décor puts a playful spin on classic Italian artwork, which perfectly reflects the restaurant's creative approach to pizza. All in all, it's a great spot for groups, has a relaxed vibe, and serves pizzas that are both delicious and memorable. I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area!

The pizza was cooked perfectly, but lacked overall flavor. The crust was chewy but didn't taste like anything. The pizza also didn't have enough pizza sauce. The ranch dressing severely lacked seasoning. It tasted more like straight mayo instead of ranch. The online order portal needs updating. There was no description for what Napo sauce is and there was no listing for pizza sauce/marinara under the sides of sauce.

We've gone through the routine of JC Penny's, Dillards, and Sears and now it's time for my food court reward for not misbehaving. Many of you might not remember or have been born yet, but the place that took center stage and what was my favorite pizza place to this day was Luca Pizza. I'll always remember a worker wearing their chef's whites offering samples in the dining area, and my mom taking one for each of us. Every time I ate a piece I thought, "man, no wonder the Ninja Turtles love pizza so much". And then one day it was gone. The pizzeria that I loved so much growing up was no longer there, and it felt like it took all my memories with it. I thought that was it. All we have left here in The Valley is global pizza chains. Nothing made with heart. But then a cousin of mine told me that one of the cooks opened up his own place in Mission on Conway called "Pizza di Roma". Familiar faces. Familiar flavors. Familiar memories. After getting a haircut at Tatan's I would drive over and walk through the back entrance after passing their herb garden and get a pie. Things were right in the world, and wouldn't you know it, I came to learn that the full name of Luca Pizza was "Luca Pizza di Roma". Hah! And then one day it was gone. The doors were shut. The lights were off. Surely this can't be happening again right? Of course it was. The story would repeat itself with yet another pizzeria with the same staff called Titto's Pizzeria in Palmview until that too was gone, only this time there was no new incarnation. The spiritual descendants of Luca Pizza in The Plaza Mall were now all gone. There was no more pizza to be made from them anymore. Their story, as far as I know, had ended. And then one day I discovered The Pizzeria. The same cousin recommended it saying it reminded him of Pizza di Roma. Familiar ingredients! Familiar flavors! So, of course, I made the trek to Harlingen. Has anyone ever had that experience where they open the doors to a restaurant and you're immediately hit in the face with the smell that defines their restaurant? For steak houses it's the smell of the smoke coming from a seared steak, for panaderias it's the smell of sugar and freshly baked bread, and for coffee shops it's the smell of the sweetness of freshly ground coffee beans. For The Pizzeria, it was the smell of a caramelized pizza crust, the burnt flour left over in the oven, and the unmistakable heat and smell of a 450 degree oven that has baked thousands of pies in its lifetime. Now, I've been a loyal fan of this local pizza chain for years, and when their Harlingen location first opened, I still remember walking in and feeling like I had stepped into a true, passion-driven pizzeria. The place had energy, heart, and a sense of pride. Perhaps not familiar faces, but familiar flavors and, yes, familiar memories. But lately, something's changed, and not for the better. My recent visits to the Mission location have felt strangely lifeless in comparison. While the ingredients are still fresh, the execution hasn't been keeping up. The crusts come out uneven, the bakes inconsistent, and the attention to detail that once defined them seems to be fading. The frustrating part is that they still have all the ingredients (pun intended) to be great. Every single bite I take I think "This is good, and it's so close to being great, but it's just not there." What's lacking now is technique and care. The fundamentals aren't being applied with the same precision or passion they used to, and the result shows. I genuinely hope they can turn things around, because this isn't a lost cause. They've proven before, especially in those early Harlingen days, that they can deliver pizza with real heart. With a renewed focus on craftsmanship and consistency, they could easily reclaim what made them special. I want to keep cheering for them, but they need to rediscover the spark that once set them apart.

    The pizza is very good. The bread knots were awesome. We had the knots, two slices and 2 drinks for…read morearound $14!
