Very average pizza. Cheese not adhering to the pizza, tomatoes coarsely chopped, sauce pretty bland. It's a good bite if you're out late and need something. The wine....omg. Biggest glass of wine I have ever been served. We were going to go to the bars later but...this wine was enough. They emptied half a bottle for each glass. And those glasses are CHALICES. If you get anything, GET THE WINE It has an outdoor and indoor seating area. I don't know why we went outdoors at night, because we were eaten alive by mosquitoes. Their indoor seating is pretty limited, though. Service was fine. It's a smaller restaurant so I'm assuming they mostly serve carry-out. I would be back...for the wine. Can't beat that price! read more

Good food!!! Ordered the pizza and pasta combo and it was good portion and good taste! Pizza was thick and soft, cheese was perfect!! The flavor was good.. the spaghetti needed a little more flavor in the sauce.. some butter and garlic and seasoning in the meatballs but it's passable!!! I would come here to munch on good pizza and chill time after work asking and shopping!! Ambiance is chill and the service is great! The girl is very attentive!! Nice place!! read more

I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and it was COMPLETELY empty this is red flag number one. The gentleman working the register wasn't rude but he wasn't pleasant either, just kind of "there". I order a cheese slice and a beer and take a seat. The restaurant is small and a little too warm. There's baseball on the screen so it's not too bad. When this dude brought me the slice I was immediately underwhelmed. It didn't have the visual appeal of good pizza. The size of the slice ALONE was a let down, add that it was 4 bucks and we are deep in the red. To top it all off the slice tasted like that schoolhouse pizza. The rectangle one. The crust wasn't thick nor thin. The sauce was bad and Not well seasoned. The cheese is what really takes me back to the middle school lunchroom. I really don't know how this spot is surviving in Montrose. I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend spending anyone's money here. read more

I was walking through the town and smelled something amazing. I saw a place with no lights on, no line in the drive thru, and you couldn't even tell there were people inside. But this smell was so tantalizing I could not just keep walking past. I found the name and looked the place up on maps. On the restaurant info it said the place was closed, and it looked closed, but I called anyway and a man answered and that was all I needed, just to know someone was inside. I turned back and went towards the smell. Once inside it was dark, but I love dark spaces, the darkness is often my friend, and I found love inside of this dark place. I ordered the meat lover breakfast taco and in one bite my taste buds came alive. It makes me want to buy a house in the neighborhood. This is one of those family owned shops where you want to go there enough to become part of the family. Good food, good vibe, lovely atmosphere. Check them out and tell them I sent you. read more

Pizza was delicious and friendly when you walk in! My first time to try this quaint spot and will be back!

Worst service ever good positioning gross unsatisfactory and unsanitary.... Parking is terrible please don't waste your time !!!!!! Go somewhere else anywhere else read more

We spent a few hours in Montrose and looking at the "vintage" shops. Was hungry, but didn't want much so we came here. A lot of complaints about customer service and being rude, but has anyone ever encountered happy people at a pizza place?? I got 2 slices of pizza. I really liked the pizza. I don't like a lot of sauce on the pizza while my husband does. Mine had the perfect amount of sauce on it without overdoing it. Husband wished it was saucier, but I liked it for a quick bite. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't get more love! This place makes a pretty fine pie. I live in Brooklyn, arguably the pizza capital of the US, so I've eaten my fair share of great pizza. Bambolino's is really interesting - I agree with Farrah A - it's not a NYC style pizza or thin crust...and it's not really deep dish either; although the buttery/oily crispy bottom and thicker-than-most dough is reminiscent of Detroit style pizza, but then again, Bambolino's is not cooked in a pan - it really is its own style of pizza and it's damn delicious. As Yelper Rosy A mentioned, the supreme/all-the-way is where it's at. They definitely do not skimp on the ingredients - it's chock full of goodies/meats/veggies (check out the pic!). Prices are super reasonable for the amount of food you get too. The place is charming/old school. There's some tables indoor with a television that usually has some local sports on, and then a nice outdoor space with picnic tables that's covered which is a great place to hang out when the weather is nicer. Beer is super cheap too! My brother and sister-in-law rave about the frozen lemonade, although I haven't tried it just yet. The guys who work here are super chill as well. From the reviews it looks like they make some great breakfast tacos as well, so will have to check them out in the mornings in the future. Anyhow, if you're craving some pizza, definitely give Bambolino's a shot! read more

This is absolutely my favorite new pizza spot. I usually get the pepperoni. The sauce is so flavorful. I usually am one to need toppings, ranch, pepper flakes, hot sauce on my pizza but I can just eat this one as is. The crust is super flaky and and airy as well. read more

Parked here to get a slice of pizza, realized I had my friends phone so I went to go give it to her at the end of the street. Some man comes out and yells at me that I can't park here it's for the restaurant. I tell him I know and I'm coming to the restaurant I just need to give my friend her phone. He yells over me multiple times no I can't park there. And so I just went to give my friend her phone and I walk into the restaurant and ask what slices they have and he just tells me over and over the parking lot is for the restaurant. And I tell him I am here to shop at the restaurant, and sit and eat here. He just kept yelling at me and so I left. I understand parking is tight here but you don't need to be a jerk. No wonder the restaurant is empty on a Saturday night, will never give these assholes the chance. read more

I've been coming here for 4 years this year! And every time its PERFECT! So fresh and flavorful! My favorite is a #2 with a frozen lemonade! I tried the cookies for the first time and they were to die for! Everything is good from here! I bring new people here every chance I get. Bambolinos is a true Houston Gem! read more

If you're drunk you might be impressed by the hodgepodge that is this restaurant but sober and on a week night i was not impressed. The menu is so chaotic and discombulated, how can any one dish be made well? The pizza was mediocre at best. The table we sat at was dirty and the man who took our order was rather curt. read more

Owner told me to move my car because I tried to buy a pizza slice to-go before stopping at the piercing shop next door to buy something quickly, he proceeded to tell me "shut the f*ck up b*tch" and kept harassing me and followed me to my car to cuss me out. Extremely disgusting and this is why their lobby is completely empty. Unprofessional cheapskates with a horrible attitude. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE !!! read more

We were looking for something simple after a doctors appointment in the area.. we saw this place and stopped. We ordered the bruschetta appetizer which was pretty good. We also had the Italian sub and a supreme pizza. I'm sure lots of people choose the order to go or delivery option. All in all the food was great m!! I am only giving 4 stars because they had to TVs on different channels and they were both extremely loud in the small place! Not a young and the restless fan read more

Hole in the wall vibe, which I like, though the food was less than stellar. Spaghetti with meat sauce was spaghetti tossed with pizza sauce and cheap pizza sausage. Chef Boyardee makes better pasta in a can. The pizza was just slightly better than Chuck E. Cheese. Definitely won't return. read more

If you're looking for a cheap good old fashioned lasagna, here's your place. Honestly I knew walking in it was either going to be a bomb meal or absolute trash, with it being such a hole in the wall place, and it was the former. So good. The garlic bread is so buttery and crispy too. Would def come back. read more

This wonderful pizzeria has been my family's go-to spot for years and it has never lets us down. It always hits the spot after church on a Sunday morning. Would highly recommend, especially towards the night, good scenery. The food is good, the supreme pizza is my favorite. The owner is a really nice fellow as well. read more

I'm a thin crust pizza kinda gal, but something about Bambolino's makes me drool. As one yelper put it, it's not quite thin nor is it deep dish. It's a crispy, buttery crusted bottom pan pizza. Stick with the classic pepperoni, a giant coke - or wine - and maybe a side salad. It's not a fancy salad - pretty much the kind out of the bag. But something about this simple pizza joint keep me coming back. Enjoy. read more

By far the very best pizza in Houston Delicious crust wonderful ingredients good service fresh fresh fresh and delicious

We were so excited to introduce this to our kids. Sadly we were disappointed. Yikes! Definitely not what it used be. I remember as a kid this was the place for pizza. We sat down in the front corner booth and we see a large cockroach running on the wall. We get if! It may have come in from the outside but it soured the vibe quickly. Their spaghetti and fettuccine was oily and the meatballs were not good. The pizza tasted like a Chucky cheese pizza. read more

This is a divey neighborhood pizza joint that I think has been around forever. Their pizza is probably good, but unfortunately I can't eat dairy. So I had to get a salad, which as you can probably imagine wasn't that great. Just the typical iceberg lettuce with some sprinkling of toppings. I tried the side of meatballs, nothing amazing or that delicious, but they weren't bad. read more

Okay I have been a fool for bambolino's for years and not sure why I've never done a review! This place has grown in the years it's been here, but their pizza is still so good! I usually get the hamburger or the margarita pizza. The pieces are double slice so you get two for the price of one. One order is enough for me and I usually eat about 2-3 pieces of pizza at other places, so that gives you an idea of how big the slices are. They also serve Italian ice lemonade and when just walking around the area I love to drop by and get some! It's so good, but once you are down to the bottom it is all ice, that's the one bad thing. We love fresh pizza and would rather come here than star pizza just because its smaller and faster service. My daughter hates waiting!! read more

This place is pretty old school, something you'd find in the 90's or 80's even. They have a fairly large menu with just about every kind of pasta and pizza. I have no idea how they cook it all as the person who took our order at the counter was also the cook and waiter. Besides the menu, they have specials or "combos" taped up all over the wall above the front counter that even carry on to a board that sits off to the right. We each got a combo that comes with a slice of pizza (really two smaller slices), a side salad, garlic bread and a soda. I think they were $10 each. The pizza and garlic bread was good. The salad was a bit strange, tons of carrot shreds over iceburg and red cabbage with a few tomatoes. It wasn't bad, but could be improved with cheese and more then one tiny tub of salad dressing. If you are in the area around lunch stop in and grab some. read more

We stopped there to have a quick lunch one afternoon. Upon entering the building we noticed it was a quaint spot and was not heavily trafficked. In all honesty, it looked a bit shady but still interesting. Very similar to a small diner and the customer service was relatively fast. The food was the quality of a football stadium, not bad but definitely not interesting. We would most likely not return to this spot, but if you're in the area and are hungry during lunch time, it's an average place that you can go to and also affordable. read more
