Pizzana — Restaurant in Houston

Full disclose, this was a delivery order, and while I'm sure the Pizzana restaurant is delightful, and the staff wonderful, I can only speak to the quality of food. Their website was easy to navigate, and the food pictures were enticing. I've driven by their location and it is inviting.

The online menu u has many options from pizzas, to salads, to anti-pasta and dessert options. As a self proclaimed pizza connoisseur, I had to try one of their pies.

I usually wouldn't comment on the pizza box, but it was actually attractive, with a sticker to ensure the pizza made it to its destination untampered with. There was also nice postcard looking notification on the box explaining their reward system.

The pizza itself was incredible. I am a huge fan of Napoletana, wood fired, and brick over pizzas. The pizza looked incredible. The dough and crust was airy and flavorful. The toppings were plentiful and delicious.

I wish, for the price, the pizza was bigger. I definitely would have ordered another pizza had I known.

Some tips: If you are hungry or serving multiple people I would suggest ordering a few pizzas. You can add Berkshire Fennel Sausage to your pizza. I did, and it was delicious. Sign up for their rewards and receive a free live of cake on your birthday plus other benefits. If you like baking your pizzas from home and have a setup to do so and can actually purchase the components like their dough, sauce, etc.

I will definitely try their pizza again. Next time I hope to go to their brick and mortar...

Had a bad experience here. Go to Bollo instead - much better.

Was put out a bit by the hostess stand from the jump. Pointed out we used the wrong entrance door. Confusion. We felt lucky to be allowed to eat here when the hostess gave us a time limit before seating us. Small and poor beer selection. Decor and vibe incongruent with whatever this place is trying to be. Feels like it is trying to be a cocktail bar for yuppies, but the clientele was a lot of families and seniors. Watery sauce and, consequently, soggy floppy, flat, seemingly undercooked dough. Extra toppings are overpriced (eg cheese pizza with just 1 or 2 toppings all of a sudden is about the most expensive thing on the menu). Everyone's food came out at different times. Have to pay for parking, even if it's a pittance. Won't be back. Too bad as we live around the corner.

Not great for kids at all even though it was full of them. A kids menu or allowing split toppings on a pizza is kids 101. The "kids" cups are pint size. They gave full menus to a toddler that can't read and a baby not even on solid food yet.

I will say the one highlight was GF pizza was among the best we've ever had, so if you are GF this might be...

I think if one considers this as more for ambience, to hang out with friends, rather than an OMG food destination, you’d be okay.

Diavolo pizza and Negroni at Pizzana today. Rose flavored gin, Campari and Gallo vermouth. (Note: Ummmm, I really dont think using a rose flavored gin is a great idea; possibly a really bad idea…they offered to remake it with regular gin, but I was driving, and declined. I did recommend they give a heads up if anyone orders a Negroni and to give them the option of regular gin).

I’ve been meaning to get over here to sample, like, forever.

Sausage spiciness of the Diavolo was nice. Chuckled at the one sad little leaf of basil garnish.

Was it VPN? Sort of. I liked that the center wasnt too wet. Not too bad as pizza goes. Gotta be eaten hot as the crust will get kind of cardboardy when cool. I wouldn’t do a second visit for the pizza but could consider it as a get together with friends destination. In other words, think of it as paying for the lovely ambiance and the pizza as free.

Staff was nice, friendly, accommodating, professional.

Was solo on this visit . A pizza and cocktail did set me back $40 plus tip. And the cost...
