Brought the family on a Monday night. Good deals for kids on Mondays. Excellent service from Matt, great pizza (we were given a gluten free by accident, and thought the crust was crispier and better!), fun vibes. read more

My husband and I came here for a lunch. We ordered two large pizzas and a salad to share with a soda. The Detroit style pizza was really good. Great ratio of dough and toppings for this type of pizza. I love how you have the options to cut it twice into strips instead of blocks. The outside was crispy and inside was soft. Toppings weren't too overwhelming. They were also great for leftovers the next day. The beet was good. I actually enjoyed it but I wish there were more toppings. Staff was nice . He seems the be the only one on the floor. Maybe it was the weather but there wasn't that many people there. This place is great for family or friends to share different pizza types. There's free parking out front. read more

This is not the first time I've visited Via 313. The first couple of times, I went to two of their Austin locations and enjoyed the pizzas. They weren't the best Detroit-style pizzas I've had, but they felt fresh -- the ingredients seemed premium and almost homemade. This time was different. The experience was flat: the flavors and texture felt worn out, and there wasn't much to celebrate. Via 313 somehow felt like a national chain pizza -- not much taste, not enough caramelized cheese on the borders, too spongy without the airy texture that characterize Detroit style, and lacking that crunch in the crust. My recommendation: if you're in The Heights and want Detroit-style pizza, go to Gold Tooth Tony's. It's slightly cheaper and the quality is slightly better than Via 313. Go to Via 313 if you want to stay in the Heights and be served at a table. However, if you want the best Detroit-style pizza in town, just go straight to Pizaro's -- note that this only applies to their Detroit-style pizza. read more

They specialize in Detroit Style Square Pizza but also offer bar style pizza which is thin. I've enjoyed both styles from them. Staff is always friendly. I haven't had any issues finding parking in their parking lot but I can imagine that it may be hectic during busy eating hours since it is shared with other restaurants and businesses. They have a monthly special which I always enjoyed trying. You can also download their app and track your points and may even have a coupon reward. My friends and I always have a great meal at Via 313. Highly recommend trying it. read more

I've been seeing a lot of Via 313 Pizzas opening in houston and surrounding cities. On an early evening after coming back from late Livingston with the fam I was unsure of what I was going to eat, but my fam knew what they wanted which was flower child on Shepard... little did I know I saw a Via 313 Pizza right across from the flower child, so with high expectations I had to tap in. I go in and notice they are busy busy busy. The lady at the bar taking orders and making sure customers get their orders was nice, but seemed overwhelmed a bit. I put in my order for the Detroiter a large. My food came out like 15 mins. I thought that was pretty fast for a Detroit pizza, but nonetheless the time it came out was appreciated. I also ordered the cheese sticks. The cheese sticks and pizza tasted like disappointment. The dough tasted old like it had been sitting there pre made frozen or pre made and had been sitting for a couple days in the fridge. The Marinara sauce tasted highly processed and the olives I added to my pizza tasted chewy as well as the pepperoni. The cheese tasted like it had been sitting for awhile. The cheese sticks tasted doughy. I got 2 sides of ranch and the ranch smelled and tasted preservative heavy. They don't make it in house like some pizza places. I was Extremely disappointed. I wouldn't come back. I hope it was just an off day but still. I didn't even take photos cause I was pissed off with the pizza. I didn't even finish it either. I really really really dislike unauthentic food. This was one of those moments fasho. read more

The food is amazing and so was our bartender Marcus who suggested great things off of the menu.

I've been to early location in Texas, Austin, San Antonio and houston. I've also been to blue pan in Denver. It's safe to say that I love their food and support them at every location that I can! With all that being said, I visited their newest location in Houston and it's top notch just like all of the others! Grace is an absolute professional and is doing a great job at this location. Very nice and personable! Food: the pizza is simply amazing. In a fan of their Detroit style. Also their desserts are top notch. If you haven't been to this location I suggest you stop in. Great pizza. Great customer service. From a loyal fan! Via313 is the best! read more

Did a half and half of the omnivore and the detroiter. Yeah I believe it's an acquired taste, but detroit style pizza may not be for me. Had a thick layer of dough/ bread and cheese. It felt spongey, not really a crisp to it. The cheese and sauce was ok, wasn't really pack with flavor. But the omnivore was definitely better than the detroiter. read more

This was our first time trying Detroit style pizza and I would say it's definitely an acquired taste. We opted for The Detroiter..Customer service was mediocre granted the young lady was new we weren't explained much or suggested anything.. So based upon the pizza the crust was very light and good, the large size of the pizza definitely was enough. However me personally am not a fan with the sauce on the top. They do have a full bar and its a little quaint place in the Montrose area. If your into Detroit style pizza give them a try. read more

I had a very pleasant experience at Via 313 with my son. We were greeted by the staff and they were very friendly from beginning to end. They have options for both Detroit style pizza (thicker crust) and bar style crust (thin and crispy). My son was adamant about thin crust cheese, and we were recommended to split the pizza with different toppings (awesome ). They have a good beer selection too if you're into that like I am. They also have lots of seating options: private for kids, bar area, or a nice outside patio. Looking forward to trying more toppings! Will definitely go back! Note: they have good happy hour and lunch specials! read more

Pizza was great. Nice buttery and airy crust loaded with cheese and you could taste the freshness of the toppings. Customer service was ok.. because we got a new waitress but she did good. Only thing that kept me from giving them a 5 is the employee sleeping in one of the booths..Not a good look read more

Got a tip that this place has a good GF crust so I called in (at a different location) and got a good feeling as a result. We're still on the hunt for a local pizza place for my 3 year old who has multiple food allergies... and he only likes pizza from one place in San Antonio. His requirements: to look and taste like regular pizza. For reference: he's allergic to wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, avocado, pineapple, and kiwi. On top of that, as a family, we're allium free vegetarians. So I went with a friend and the kid in question for lunch on a Friday. To my knowledge, I believe there are 3 locations in the Houston area and this one is in the Heights across from Flower Child. There are a few parking spots right at the front but there's ample parking spaces on the lot when you drive further in. There were a few occupied tables but not very busy - I'm under the impression they may have recently opened - and the guy behind the bar took care of all the tables. They specialize in Detroit style pizza (think deep dish and square) and bar style pizza (think thin and round). Everything is made to order. They have GF options, note what is vegetarian, and offer vegan cheese. In fact, they sort of boast how they can cater to various diets on the menu. They also serve alcohol, ice cream (contains eggs, milk), and have appetizers and salads. During lunch, there's a lunch special for either 1 slice for $5 OR 2 slices plus a salad and fountain drink for $12. I opted to get a large (4 slice) portion of pizza so I could bring home extras for the family. I went through the food allergies again just to make sure since I hadn't called this location. The GM came out to assist. Guess what? Yes, they do have a GF crust option only for their Detroit style pizza, BUT it's made from gluten free WHEAT flour. Think lactose free cow milk, but this is wheat flour where they removed the gluten. So this is good for those with celiac or a gluten sensitivity, but not for someone with a WHEAT allergy. We weren't keen on experimenting in an uncontrolled environment, so he didn't get to try any pizza. However, they were very helpful and... we asked if they could do melted cheese with spinach on top for him since we were already there. He did manage to finish almost half before it started coagulating, so that was something! I ordered the Herbivore. For those who avoid alliums: the sauce they use for the Detroit-style pizza is allium free. I only ordered it without onions and it was perfect. Not too greasy or very salty with a pillowy crust and crispy edges. It's refreshing to not have to change menu items too much. On the other hand, the sauce for the bar style does contain alliums. Since I love sauce, I stuck with the Detroit. My omnivorous friend got The Cadillac (she originally wanted a mushroom lovers version, but there is none here) and she liked it well enough, but she's on the fence on whether or not it was worth the price. Her favorite part was the fig reduction but wished there was some tomato sauce on there. Or perhaps she wanted more of a heavier drizzle. Overall, everyone was very helpful and apologetic that they didn't have something on the menu for my kid when we went specifically for him. The bartender (?) kept on suggesting meat options even after I mentioned I was a vegetarian, and my kid was as well by default (was never tested for allergens to food we don't eat), which I thought odd but also amusing. Decor reminded me of MOD Pizza but car/workshop-themed and was clean. A good place to go to with options for the rest of us... but not the kid. Glad to have tried out this place, though! Still on the look out for a pizza place in the city for the kid. read more

I've been searching for Detroit style pizza like I had when a child visiting family in Detroit. I remember it being thick but airy & buttery. This is the closest Detroit style pizza I have found in decades of searches. It truly is delicious! Ingredient ratio is just right too; not just plopped in the middle. We sat outside. We were the only people out there but the service was wonderful. By the time we left the outdoor area was full. Will definitely be going back. Thanks Marci for the recommendation. read more

I'm really only giving this a 3 because the cheese bread was really good and the regular style pizza continental and omnivore was really yummy Maybe I wasn't a fan of the Detroit style much but it didn't really stand out to me it was ok nothing mind blowing The service was pretty slow because there wasn't anyone else there expected for like another little family so I'm not sure what the hold up was , I can't even imagine how it'll be if it is busy I wouldn't really come back willingly ALSO the price was pretty Insane because the large was $30 and small was $16 but the portions were just small period so for the price I didn't think it was worth it read more

There seems to be an abundance of pizza places in the Heights, but one thing sets this place apart - It's Detroit style by way of Austin. I've had a Detroit style pizza before from another spot in Houston. I enjoyed it, but wasn't super wowed by it. I was excited to try 313 though because they specialize in this specific style of pizza. The restaurant has a big spot that is shared by other businesses in the strip. We came on a weekend and didn't have problems parking. As we walked in I noticed a bar area with TV's which is cool, but they do have plenty of regular seating. Our server was cool enough to explain Detroit style pizza and that they have bar style pizzas available too. We got the roasted artichoke appetizer which was basically a marinara dip with artichokes - I thought that was ok. For pizza we all shared a Detroiter. I liked the simplicity of the pizza, and i actually like the thick chewy crust and the toasty edges. Overall good pizza! One complaint I have was that the light they have at the booth was super bright. Luckily there was a switch and we turned it off. A staff member saw us and said they are changing it soon because of the complaints. If you like Detroit style pizza, or just curious and wanna try def check this place out! read more

Via was one of my favorite pizza places in Austin and I'm so happy the restaurant has expanded to now a couple of locations in Houston. They specialize in Detroit pizza. And in David Portnoy's words: Detroit pizza is like an offensive lineman- looks heavy but light on the feet. We got caesar salad and brussel sprouts to start the night. The caesar was delicious with unique parmesan crisps and a light anchovy taste that I really enjoyed. The brussels were all right. We mainly just got it for vibes, but they aren't the crispy kind I normally enjoy, so I'll probably skip that next time. For pizzas, we got the ambassador bridge, bobo brazil, and the cadillac. All perfect and you cannot go wrong with either. Personally, I am a corner girl- they do the cheese crust so crispy and yummy here. If you have never tried detroit pizza, via 313 is a great place to try your first slice! I will say, food does take a while, so come if you have time to spare or are with friends! They have some beer options for $3.13! read more

WOWWWZERS! No hyperbole, this place has the BEST pizza. While they do have delicious Detroit style pizza, do not sleep on a thin crust pie from here. I chose the herbivore on thin crust. My sister and Dad split the Carnivore, Detroit Style. We also got an order of cheese sticks and a seasonal, dessert pizza. The dessert pizza stole the show. It was a seasonal pumpkin dessert pizza with a drizzle of icing. YUM! read more

Visited Houston, Texas for couple days and was running late for dinner one night. Found this place driving in the area and was extremely shocked on the Sicilian type pizza!! For Texas this was very good pizza, not saying NY type but the square was phenomenal in texture and taste. Definitely a wait to order a small pie, same time if you order it on the app but you get $10 off so no brained. Stand there and order through the app, the service not great. This was take out for me so the 4 stars is on quality of food. The Caesar salad was good too!! read more

Not a great experience. The Memorial City location is much better. Ambiance and service there is much better. At the Heights location, our pizza took a solid 40 minutes. One was hot, one was warm/cold. We ordered hot honey and ranch; both never came out but were tacked onto the bill. They did remove the sauces from the bill. Waitress was nice and Detroiter pizza was tasty, but other than that, it was a "meh" experience. read more

I was excited for Via before they even got to Houston because they had a great social media presence and the food ALL looks AMAZING. I was finally able to go a couple weeks ago and it was everything I hoped it would be. Sat at the bar. They had all day happy hour. Had the artichoke and the omnivore pizza and did a happy little dance with each bite. Everything was so good that the bartender explained its because they don't have a deep freezer. Meaning. Everything is fresh EVERY DAY and you can taste it. I stopped by for to go food last night and was too happy to share with my neighbors and encouraged them to go asap. I'll be back REAL soon read more

Had the food before and it was pretty good and service was ok. Looks nice inside but me and my family went again and was very disappointed. No one was there to greet us and when they did it was " hey was up" then was seated. As we waited and waited after being seated for someone to take our order. Another family walked in of a different ethnicity and they were quickly attended to which rubbed me the wrong way. I went to the bartender ask where our waiter was and why the other family was helped before us and he didn't know who or why. So nobody fixed the problem so we got up and left. read more

I've been in Austin before but this was my first time at a Houston location. Went on a Sunday night and there was not a lot of customers. We could tell the staff was new but they were kind. The pizzas took 30 minutes to make so make sure to order an appetizer or not come super hungry. The pizza was yummy and piping hot. I would probably try another location because this wasn't on par with how good the Austin location is. I got Hawaiian and ambassor bridge. read more

We came here because we had received a buy one get one free coupon and we noticed it had just opened up in our neighborhood. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza and a small and then picked the Detroiter for free (you get a free pizza or a free small Detroiter with any size pizza that you buy). The pizza took around 15 to 20 minutes to make and they did tell us that. When the pizza did come out it was hot and fresh and the crust was perfectly crispy. Also, the toppings were plentiful and the sauce was really fresh parking was not an issue because there is a huge parking lot and there there are spaces in front of the restaurant into the side of it as well as across. read more

Mediocre- didn't like it at all. I guess I don't love Detroit style but also the toppings weren't anything special either. Lacked flavor and overall flavors didn't mesh well together so it was bland even with hot honey and red pepper. I don't get the hype at all. It was quick and service was fine but I wouldn't return or recommend. read more

So this was my first experience with Detroit style pizza and I do love me some pizza. This place offers your traditional style but if I made the trip I might as well go all out. I chose the "Detroiter" , which the staff did inform me would be about a 25 minute wait. Let me just say that it was definitely worth the wait and then some. The crust was thick but very crispy and not heavy on your stomach. It was like eating a fresh baked loaf of bread. I highly recommend this place and I have already been back. I do wanna say that our server Shayla was extremely helpful in assisting us with our order. She also recommended the Cinnamon Sticks for dessert and they were an added bonus. read more

First time eating Via 313. I have celiac and was cautiously optimistic about their gluten free crust. It was amazing. I would have had no idea it was gluten free, unlike most crusts. The pizza was delicious. The service was great. A friend and I met up and had a great time and both enjoyed the food. The dessert was gluten free and delicious. Will definitely be back!!! Highly recommend if you are looking for gluten free, and if not, then I'm sure the regular crust is amazing too. read more

This is a pretty cool place to devour Detroit style pizza! I have never been to Detroit or have the experience of tasting a Detroit style pizza so I have nothing to compare it to. This restaurant is located in the same block as many great restaurants in the Heights and have a large shared parking lot. At first, I thought it was an order at counter and seat yourself establishment, but I was wrong. This is a full service restaurant and there's also a bar. We were quickly greeted upon entrance and led to our table where out server met us with enthusiasm. Since we've never been to a Via 313, she was able to explain their menu and gave us some suggestions. We opted to try the Detroiter (cheese, 2 kinds of pepperoni, natural casing on top of the cheese, smoked pepperoni underneath with Detroit sauce, and oregano) in their small size which claims to feed 1-2 persons. The small pizza comes in the form of 4 rectangular slices, which takes roughly 20 minutes to make in their kitchen. Come hungry, but don't come starving is what I recommend! While we waited on the pizza, we had their B & C (broccoli and cauliflower, roasted with garlic and olive oil, topped with balsamic glaze and smoked salt). While it was surely appetizing and delicious, the portion size was a little small for the price tag. When our pizza finally arrived, it was piping hot! The edges are so cheesy and crisp while the crust is thick with a good amount of grease. It is definitely not your typical pizza from any chain and can't be compared to fast food/frozen pizzas. The pepperoni is everywhere and the sauce is so tasty! We washed it down with the Rock & Rye Faygo pop, a Detroit sodapop. The flavor of the sodapop was like vanilla cream soda, something that went well with the savory pizza slice. We also tried their cinnamon sticks for a sweet ending and it reminded me of something between a cinnamon roll and a cinnamon sugar pretzel with glaze. This dessert was A-OK but I would stick to just the pizza itself next time. A nice touch at the end of the meal when the check came was that they give you some Dum Dum's. Overall a unique place for pizza that's not the run of the mill flavor and style. Its pizza with some flair! read more

Even though I live 5 minutes from the Memorial City location, I think I prefer this location! It's not crazy busy like the Memorial City one was when it first opened. Everything was fantastic! I ordered the herbivore and it came out cooked perfectly and minus onions as I requested. I always get two meals out of their small pizzas, which is great because leftovers are excellent. Our server was Grace, and she was truly the best! Very personable, attentive, and helpful. We got a complimentary order of cheese sticks amongst other goodies. She also let us know that Wednesdays are half off wine by the glass or bottle! If you haven't tried Detroit style pizza, I would recommend making your way here. It's way better than replicating it at home, and they have other Michigan treats on the menu, like Faygo, Vernor's, and Superman ice cream. read more
