    I haven't had a pepperoni roll I'm about 25 years. So, when I was in Houston, I sought out DoubleDave's. The pepperoni rolls were as good as I remembered. The pizza was as well. The place itself was less than inviting. There was no clear signage as to when and how to order. The place was claustrophobic with the tables being close together and there being too much in a small space. They were cleaning up after the buffet hours were over. Buffet people can make quite a mess. Go for the food, then get out.

    New buffet hours, January 2023

    This review is for the dine-in buffet, not takeout. This location recently cut their lunch buffet hours to just 1 hour per day - 11-12 is when they have the buffet out, and that's it. But if you don't mind eating a little early, you get great food for a great price; $15 for all you can eat, which includes salad, pizza, and a fountain drink or iced tea. As for the quality, there's no comparison. Everything is great, and there hasn't been a single pizza we don't like. None of the meats taste cheap or are overly greasy like some places, and even if you choose chicken (of which they have at LEAST 3 kinds - buffalo, bbq and garlic alfredo) you get nice hearty white-meat slices. No compromise here, just great food, and it's all on display on the buffet. There's cheese sticks for the kiddies, a philly cheesesteak stromboli for the rest, and desserts include a "cinnamon roll" pizza, a chocolate chip cookie dough pizza, and (my personal favorite) the half-apple half-cherry strudel, wrapped in thin dough and baked to perfection. If you feel like getting the pizza of the month or a custom order, just ask when you pay, but bear in mind it's one order per party.

    Veggie specialty pizza

    It's been quite a while since we've visited Double Dave's. Lots has changed, most noticeably, the lack of the buffet. We ordered a large veggie specialty pizza on whole wheat crust. Lots of veggies. Lots of cheese. Very little, if any, sauce. We also ordered a Greek salad. The pizza was good. I would have preferred the crust be a bit more crisp and a bit less "chewy". But that's just a matter of preference. Because it was so dry, I asked for a side of marinara sauce. The friendly server cheerfully gave me a small cup of sauce directly from the cooler. Yep. That's what we wanted. Cold marinara for our hot pizza. For $7, the Greek salad was a disappointment. The lettuce was so wet, we literally had a puddle of water in the bottom of the bowl. Our dressing was served on the side, so we can't say the liquid was from weak dressing. Double Dave's is still better than most. But I think we'll wait for the return of the buffet before e we visit again.

    Space Cowboys and pizza rolls for the win!!!!

    The pizza rolls are absolutely delicious. They are a must try. I had them at Constellation Field and was impressed. The attendant was kind and it was perfect for a night at the ballpark.

    This was my first time visiting this location the other day. We came in to dine-in. Right off the bat I want to say that the customer service is lacking. We didn't know where to go, no greeting or welcoming message. We stood at the register after walking up and finding it only for no one to be there. The young female approached rue counter and just stared. No help, no engagement, no enthusiasm. Not a good first impression. After ordering we go to find a table. Had to keep looking because the tables were not cleaned and they were greasy... clearly they're not paying attention to the lobby. GOOD NOTE: Food was piping hot and was very quick. I asked for hot sauce and they told me they were going to charge me $.50..... for hot sauce at a pizza place. I don't get that? This should be a regular item to keep at the table or at the customers request. To charge for that is ridiculous, obviously I said no. FOOD: everything tasted really great, fresh and delicious. No complaints really there. Other than the insane charge for a condiment. However, I am giving mainly a 3-star for service and customer service. Needs some re-evaluating there. I was going to order another pizza to go but I didn't wanna deal with the blank stares from the cashier or the lack of help. Maybe I'll just do pickup next time? Not sure.

    Coming in for the first time The place looks more like a sports bar with weird booths that are angled up so your body may be a bit uncomfortable. The customer service is lacking, we didn't have a person at the register for about 10-15 seconds. No greeting, or welcome. She just asked what we wanted and seemed a bit impatient. Sorry our business makes you upset? As for food, it was quite good, we had the monthly special with the Queso Blanco Chicken Pizza, it's a medium pizza for $10. Not bad at all usually the medium is $14.99 I believe. It comes with chicken, queso sauce, tomatoes, and cilantro. The blend is perfection and tastes like a nacho pizza almost. I don't know what queso they use but I fell in love with it. The crust is nice and soft with a crunch at the end. I probably wouldn't dine in again but might visit monthly just to try the special pizza.

    Pizzas buffet for lunch from 11am to 2pm. If they are missing something, let them know by request and they'll get one out fresh.

    Came here for lunch buffet with coworkers and it's still a solid pizza buffet meal. Lunch buffet is served from 11am to 2pm so I recommend coming earlier than later if you want hot and fresh selections on the buffet. If they are missing something from the buffet, you can make a request and they'll bring it out to the buffet, and announce when it's ready. It may not be worth driving an hour to get to, but if you're in the area it's a decent lunch option. Every month, there is a specialty pizza featured and for the month of April 2022 it is a pretty tasty jalapeno popper style pizza. They have a mix of thin and thicker crust style pizzas as well as an assortment of dessert pizzas and their pepperoni rolls (good for dipping with ranch or marinara). We arrived at 1130am, and we caught them as they were bringing out at least 5 or 6 fresh pizzas for the buffet so we were pretty happy with everything.

    Buffalo Chicken Pizza w/ added green peppers & onion. So awesome.

The staff is super friendly, and we were welcomed as we were (we had hoped to eat at a sister establishment but they sold out of what we wanted). Mimo's offers a great selection of Italian inspired apps, three well appointed pizzas, a few varied and surprising options for pasta dishes, and some mains. Items we tried: Pane - delicious Roasted Carrot Pizza - AMAZING, A little spicy, but definitely something we would order again. Pastas we ordered initially came out cold - our incredible waiter immediately corrected the issue. But from a flavor profile - Pansotti - sooooo delicious. You'd never guess that it was a vegetarian option - the mushrooms were so meaty. The delicate pouches with the spinach and ricotta were heavenly. Pappardelle - The lamb braised sauce had a depth of flavor that could rival any restaurant in Italy. My only tiny hope was that the pasta would have been served aldente, it was a little overcooked. But to each his own. Overall - really great. Would recommend. This would be great for a weeknight dinner or an off the beaten path date night.

We chose patio seating, which was nice because the interior is quite dim -- although I now have 7 mosquito bites. I overall thought the food was good but nothing was stellar. We ordered the house salad and Capicola, which was a mistake because flavor-wise they were nearly identical, the main difference being that the Capicola had meat. Both salads were well done and had a nice balance of flavor and freshness. I really enjoyed the fish -- lightly salted, nutty, and crispy -- but I added the lemon it came with, which made it bitter. The rigatoni was creamy and cheesy. It was a solid pasta, nothing out of the ordinary but still enjoyable. Mimo is the type of place I would visit if I lived nearby.

The fried cheese, tomatoes & candied pecans are a great complement to the beets and greens. Add the fresh cracked black pepper offered by the server. Seafood lasagna (8/10) - the seafood is not lacking! Its very seafood-forward. Salmon, shrimp, clams. You definitely know you are eating seafood. The cheese/seafood/pasta/sauce ratio is spot on, well balanced. It felt more like a seafood dish than a lasagna/pasta dish. My only complaint (and it's not really a negative) is I was in the mood for lasagna & after eating this dish, although it was very good, I still had a hankering for lasagna. Other: - Service in general was good. It was a slow day during my Sunday afternoon visit. - Bathrooms were well kept & had cool big mirrors in the hallway upon exiting the bathroom. - Parking in the attached garage is free.

Her Greek salad also looked off, like a mix between a Caesar salad and something random with feta on top. I ordered the Chelidra Rossa because I love red snapper. What I got was definitely not red snapper. It tasted and broke apart like old tilapia that had been sitting for days. The dish also only came with one shrimp, which was disappointing. The pasta, vegetables, and mushrooms were bland and had no flavor. The bread was not fresh. When I asked for vinegar, they brought another oil mixture that wasn't what I asked for. The calamari came with a dried-out lemon that had clearly been sitting, and I had to ask for fresh slices. The pizza also didn't taste right, and the cheese had a grainy texture that didn't melt like normal pizza cheese. For what we paid, the quality didn't come close to matching the price. We ate maybe 10 percent of our food and left. I honestly don't understand how people are saying this place has fresh pasta and fresh ingredients. Based on our experience, it clearly did not.
