Pie Tap — Restaurant in Houston

The Food was Amazing, the Service was Excellent, and the Atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I like it so much I went 3 times in 2 days!

The Apps - We ordered the melt-in-your-mouth Chicken Meatballs (300/10⭐️) and Calamari Fritti (10/10⭐️). They were very addictive. We went the next night and ordered Garlic Rosemary Bread Puffs with roasted whole garlic cloves, parmesan dust and whipped provolone and asiago. Sooo good! Watching the whipped cheese melt off of the puff was very satisfying (9/10⭐️).

The Entrées - Both the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka and the Ricotta Gnocchi (not made with potato) were TO DIE FOR! Both the tomato-based sauce on the rigatoni and the goat cheese cream sauce with mushrooms on the Gnocchi were Extraordinary. On the 2nd night we had Pappardelle Bolognese. Chef's kiss The noodles were made in house and cooked al dente which made the Wagyu Bolognese cling perfectly (300/10⭐️ for all three!)

The Pies - We had very large pizzas with house-made crust that was very light and airy. The cheese and other ingredients were very fresh. We had a Pepperoni pie and a Mushroom pie that included caramelized onions and two sunny side up eggs. We also had the Pepperoni on the second night. I'm not usually a fan of Pepperoni, but I loved this and would definitely order it again (10/10⭐️). For the Mushroom, I prefer the onions to be more caramelized and the eggs to be more runny (they were almost fully cooked). It was still very good (8/10⭐️). *Note: The Pepperoni pie was also very good the next day for breakfast 😋

Dessert - The Donuts were highly recommended. We were told they were cake donuts, but the texture is more like a yeast donut. They are like giant donut holes--about the same size as the Meatballs--that are rolled in granulated sugar. They're served with 3 sauces: Strawberry, Chocolate and Honey. My fave was the chocolate sauce. The donuts were very light and delicious. (10/10⭐️)

Brunch - We had Chicken & Waffles and the Hangover Wagyu Smash Burger. Ohhh Emmm GOODNESS!! The waffle was light and fluffy with a side of Bourbon Syrup that gave just the right amount of sweetness. The 3 large chicken strips were well-seasoned and came crispy battered topped with house-made sausage gravy. They never became soggy. The burger was seasoned as well. They both came with perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs (3000/10⭐️!!!). And then we got the most gigantic Cinnamon Rolls. One order comes with 2. The glaze is amazing, seeping and dripping. Very light and not too sweet. (Infinity/10⭐️)

Drinks - The Old Fashioned was smoked and was very delicious. The Rosemary Lemonade included a sprig of rosemary along the inside wall of the glass. Very refreshing. (Both 10/10⭐️)

The Staff - Big, GIANT, HUUUUUGE shouts out and Thank Yous to Callee, Patrick, managers Mike and Destiny, John, Dre, Angel, Taryn, Nancy and the hostesses...Everyone was so welcoming and attentive. They ALL treated us like Family. (Infinity/Infinity ⭐️) 👏🏾👏🏾

I ABSOLUTELY 💯 recommend this restaurant!

UPDATE: I've been back 2 more times! I don't want to write another chapter about this place 🤣 Just eat there and see for yourself! I have added...

This place is AMAZING! We are in town for a soccer tournament and called ahead to bring our team families in for dinner on Saturday 8/23/25. We ended up having more people than anticipated and that stressed them for just a moment while they worked to accommodate us during their busy dinner service. Not only did they accommodate 38 of of us, they got us all sat together and did it like they had been doing this for years.

Kudos to management and staff that made this happen for us. We are grateful to have the opportunity to dine here. The food was incredible from pastas, pizzas, kids dishes, chicken, calamari, sandwiches, salads, appetizers and alcohol. This is the best artisan pizza place I’ve been to, bar none.

The atmosphere is sophisticated, relaxed yet refined, and this place is super neat and clean.

It’s my understanding that they recently opened and these folks are seasoned pros who handled this insane dinner rush with the greatest of ease.

Our servers were all top notch and executed everything perfectly. They were courteous, professional and friendly.

The kitchen produced quickly and perfectly.

We couldn’t have had a better dining experience.

I’m totally impressed how well they executed this dinner service with including our large...

Go for the pizza. I have had some major issues with other menu items. The half bird came to me quite undercooked, with visibly raw areas of the chicken. Egg shell on top of the carbonara which, also, was quite lacking in salt and flavor. Large chicken thigh bone (with sharp end) inside chicken melt sandwich. The manager was inappropraite and dismissive, when I brought the matter personally to their attention, saying, "That happens sometimes." Cheap cocktails, for happy hour and brunch, watery frozen margarita. Unfortunately, I am unsure as to whether I will return.

Suggestion for improvement: since it sounds like bones may be repeatedly ending up in your chicken sandwich melt, I would suggest making your chicken for the sandwich into chicken salad. It will allow your BOH staff to more thoroughly remove chicken bones; should also provide more accountability and a better quality product since the process would give the chicken more consistent texture than different parts of the bird simply thrown together in the sandwich. The way the sandwich is currently prepared simply does not seem like an...
