Pizzaiolo's — Restaurant in Brenham

Now, even better! 5+ years that my family and I have eaten at this location. Always has been excellent food. Pizza, stromboli, pizza rolls, pasta dishes, salad bar, etc.

Great staff. Managers, waitresses, drive thru, and cook chefs... all excellent work ethics, and friendly.

Recently, they have upgraded their salad bar with more variety, and made improvements to the dining area environment. A great lunch buffet until 2 pm. A great atmosphere for a family evening dinner. A small bar and beer on tap.

Now, this place is a true gem. They have other locations with the same owner, in Magnolia, and others near there. Check them out.

Their only drawbacks are location on the one way, eastbound, service road which many travelers will overlook it when they exit. Also, many times they appear to be closed because of their dark tinted windows and their sign isn't always lit up at night.

So, if you're reading this... Take note... They are located on the eastbound side of the highway, directly in front of the Hampton Suites, You must turn right on the street, before their location, to access their parking lot. If you pass them up, don't worry. You may make the u-turn loop to the other, westbound, service road and pass under the bridges to get back to them. Tell them that Kelly said,...

Went today, 12/21/2020 and the buffet was absolutely terrible. The restaurant was visually dirty. Tables bussed poorly, most weren't wiped and the ones that were were done with a dry rag. Didn't bother with cleaning the napkin off the floor under a table or two. Noone really greeted us initially, it was confusing about our drinks whether we needed to fix them. Items on the buffet doesn't really match the items on the banner inside the door, or it isn't clear of what's served which day.

Salad bar was a mess. Tomato tongs fell into the tomato's, not enough utensils to use separate ones for individual items (so hope you're not allergic). Lettuce was old (like turning dark and damp old). Croutons were stale.

Pasta (some kind of alfredo jalepeno, penne pasta) sauce was lumpy and was mixed in with the old pasta in front of eyes. The pasta as a while was really oily.

The pizza on the buffet was small, congealed, greasy, and unappetizing. Employees had no sense of work ethic and clearly didn't care about what kind of work they did.

However I did attend previously and ate from the menu and it was decent. Not sure why this trip was...

This quaint little spot on the map is full of flavor. To be honest, it is a small family owned spot. It had a buffet that kept coming. The food was super tasty and fresh. They had salad, soup, pizza, pizza rolls, garlic knots, and even nice glasses of wine available.

The bufet is what my family ate. There were full menu options as well. The food was piping hot, and a vast variety of all kinds of pizza were available on the buffet. If there was not something you wanted, they would make it for you. The dessert on the buffet was cannoli. These tasy treats were great, slight gritty texture which I am not used to in this type of dessert. However, they were tasty and had a crispy shell!

The ambiance of the place was a bit older. It was clean, though there were some stains because the place is not brand new. The wait staff and cook staff were absolutely amazing. Ashley was super nice! She offered to help us and kept our drinks filled. The bathrooms were clean, and when the TP was out in the men's room, my hubby notified them, and in seconds, there was...
