Stopped in for Friday night dinner since I figured it was a change up than our usual spots and we liked it before. For round two, we started with buffalo cauliflower. Tiny portion but good. Thought it would be tossed in the sauce rather than on a bed of it. Good flavor though. Next we had the Italian chopped sandwich. Fluffy bread. Contents of the sandwich is when everything went downhill for me. I'm pretty sure there was more of a layer of lettuce than the lunch meat and what not. I was so disappointed with the amount. The pastor pizza wasn't bad. It wasn't something I'd care to order again. The meat was big overcooked chunks that made it hard to bite. The balance of flavors was decent. The restaurant was full but still sat quickly. Beyond plenty of staff to keep the table clear. Our waitress left a lot to be desired in service though. read more

Here Iam on a Saturday night craving pizza and instead of going to a chain restaurant I decided to pass by here, to see if there was any hype behind this place. I arrived and immediately saw the place on the corner and also spotted great parking! And I love a place with parking, and free is even better! I walked in and saw that it's a pretty nice sized place with high top, low top and couch seating... they had some games and a bar as well! I was helped at the host stand, where i I made my own pizza and ordered wings, I knew it wouldn't be cheap but just for me without a drink my total was $43.30 The pizza was as good! I did notice that they missed adding in my arugula, but they fixed it by giving me a side of it. When I noticed that they cut the shrimp down the middle I really felt taken advantage of, this was not a cheap meal and I was expecting to get a fair deal. I was also expecting more from the wings, and what I mean by that is I was expecting it to be made in-house, but they weren't it was the fried Tyson wings from Walmart / Sam's wherever.. Overall would I go back.. nahhh read more

Ducky’s Pizza & Tavern - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm a big fan of Duckys in the Galleria area, so I wanted to come and check out the new Duckys on Fairview and I have to say I had a great time with friends. My server Laurel E was very lovely. She was very sweet to us. She recommended amazing things and we had great service. I highly recommend this Duckys as well. The food was very good. I will definitely be coming back to it. I can't wait to try the pasta and other things. The Ambiance was really fun and happy. read more

Ducky’s Pizza & Tavern - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Lately I've been frequenting this spot for lunch and happy hour when in the area. There's a lot to like about this location. To start, there is a parking lot in the back, which makes it very convenient. The interior is laid out well, with the bar area to the right of the entry and dining to the left. The bar area has a few TVs, which is fantastic when trying to catch a game. Food & Drink - 3.5* There are daily specials, happy hour, lunch, and regular menus. I highly recommend the crab Rangoon cheesy bread for starters, and if you're not all that hungry, it can be made into a full meal. The happy hour menu is a little limiting, but there's enough to like. The pasta is fantastic and comes in a nice small cup portion. They offer a personal 6" cheese pizza that is quite good. Other options are Buffalo cauliflower, meatballs, teenie weenie mcshweenies (mini corn dogs), and a Caesar salad. At the time of this review, these were $5 each and smaller since it's happy hour. The HH drink options are wine by the glass, 22 oz St. Arnold Lawnmowers, an Aperol Spritz, and basically a margarita called the Quack-a-Lack. I don't recommend the margarita. It's not good--too much lime juice, not enough Cointreau, and what tasted like barely any tequila. For lunch, they have a pick two. Options are the Chicken, Italian Chopped, or Fig & Pig sandwiches, but the pizza offering is very odd and out of place. It's their hot honey and pepperoni, which is great, but it's only six inches. More on this later. For the other pick, options are a Caesar salad, garden salad, potato chips, and zuppa del giorno (soup of the day). I recommend the Caesar or the soup. The Montrose and Hot Honey / Pepperoni pizzas are also great options. They recently revamped their menu, and it's unfortunate to see certain options cut. They used to have a buffalo chicken pizza that I found quite good; it is no longer there. I won't go through everything that was cut, but if you've visited regularly, there is a good chance something you ordered is no longer an option. Overall, I find all of the food above average, but nothing is gonna have you thinking, "This is amazing." It is a great, convenient spot for the area that delivers a low-key vibe. Service - 4* The service has always been pretty good. They check in frequently, ask if you want to put anything else in, and know enough about the menu to make good recommendations. The one thing that strikes me a little off is that they seem quite transactional, which I get to an extent--they see dozens of folks a day. However, when someone frequents a place over a short period, that person typically gets recognized and there's a little more small talk with staff. Again, that's just my experience working in the industry; you do want to build a following and customer base. I did not notice that aside from one lady who must come here every day and orders a glass of wine at happy hour, since she was asked, "The usual?" If there were one word to describe the staff I interacted with, it would be "aloof." Pricing / Cost - 3.5* Always subjective, but here's where things just don't make sense, particularly with the lunch menu. They offer a pick two for $18. The regular price for a full-size hot honey and pepperoni pizza is $18, the Fig & Pig sandwich is $17, the chicken sandwich is $17, and the Italian Chopped is $16. So one would think, okay, I'm getting a small salad or soup as the discount. That would align if the pizza were bigger, but on the lunch menu it's a six-inch pizza. May I point out that during happy hour, the six-inch cheese pizza is $5? So somehow, some honey and pepperonis are worth a whole lot more? The regular menu pricing is about in line with what one would expect for apps, entrees, and drinks. I'll close this bit out by stating I have worked in this industry, and I understand that balancing thin margins while getting people in and building recurring customers is harder than ever, especially with rising costs across the board. Landlords want more, ingredients cost more, and retaining reliable labor that can show up and show out to help build the business is a challenge. All that said, they probably need to reevaluate a few things, and that seems to be the case since they just revamped the menu. It would appear they are still figuring it out a little bit. My recommendation: the pizza option on the lunch menu is a poor value. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone; just order a full pizza. Overall - 3.5* There's a lot to like about this spot, while there are areas that need some work. I love the vibe, the convenience of getting in and out, and some of the lunch options. I would recommend it in the evening to grab a pizza or full-size pasta, but I'd likely say skip the happy hour and go elsewhere if you're mainly looking to get some drinks. If you want a small taste of a few great items from the regular menu before making a full deep dive, it's worth a stop. read more

Ducky's Pizza is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in Houston. The pizza is phenomenal--perfectly crisp crust, quality ingredients, and incredible flavor in every bite. Don't miss the crab ragoon bread--it's rich, unique, and an absolute standout. The space is clean and modern with a lively sports bar vibe, plenty of TVs, and a well-stocked bar. Service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. For a newer spot, Ducky's is already setting a high bar. Great pizza, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere make this an easy five-star recommendation. I'll definitely be back. read more

Ducky's is good because they try really hard to cultivate a fun experience for their customers. It doesn't quite reach 4 stars for me but they're close. The pizza was not mind blowing but the service, ambiance, and effort put into menu items, decorations, and special events makes this place enjoyable. I would not try the Al Pastor Pizza again and the pepperoni was slightly undercooked to what I enjoy. (I prefer less flop and more crunch) but I would go back and maybe tell the waitress that preference. They also added patio seating that looks fun once it cools down outside! read more

Were able to pop-in before the dinner rush and snag a table; it is not a giant place so may want to make a reservation. We enjoyed their pizza; good crust and toppings were plentiful. Others in the group got pasta and they enjoyed that as well. Service was friendly and attentive. They have lots of TVs throughout showing whatever sport of the moment is on. Cool, neighborhood vibe that is inviting, quirky, and fun. Parking - good-sized private lot or street read more

Came here for a mother/daughter date and I must say I was highly impressed. The restaurant has a great patio with games that will keep your little one entertained. The service was great and all servers are attentive. My daughter dropped her fork and a new one was brought over immediately. Food and drinks come out quickly. I ordered truffle fries (10/10), butter noodles for my daughter, montrose pizza and customized half of the pizza to a meat lovers (10/10). I can't remember the name of my cocktail but it was delicious as well. And extra star for them having a parking lot with ample parking! read more

Came the other day during the Korea v Mexico match and it was such a fun atmosphere! It's not the biggest place but they have lots of smaller tables for 4ish ppl. It was crowded but we were able to get a table immediately. Our server was super sweet and attentive. She came and checked on us throughout and was very helpful. They also seem all super fun and it was such a nice space. We got the buffalo ranch cauliflower and the Montrose pizza. I think the cauliflower was okay, personally wouldn't get again cause I wish there was a little more sauce but not bad! The Montrose was so good and I think it's a good crust thickness, as someone who prefers thin crust. They had a really nice crunch on the bottom. The combo was so good and I would def go back to try some other pizzas! read more

We got here at 8:00 and got put on the list. They said it'd be a 15 minute wait to sit on the patio. We waited almost 30 minutes, never got a call or text that our table was ready. At 8:35 we went up to the hostess stand to see if a table was ready and they said "20 more minutes" They never called or texted us that the wait would be longer. It's 9:56pm currently and NO RESPONSE STILL. We came to a COMPLETELY different restaurant, had cocktails, and ATE FOOD already and are leaving before our table at your establishment is ready. We will NEVER attempt to come back here. If you're going to take longer than the estimated wait, INFORM your customers. Their time is valuable. read more

Excellent service and great vibe! We ordered the double pepperoni pizza with hot honey on the side. This combination is so good. I'll be eating my pepperoni pizza this way from now on. The combination of sweet, salty with a little spice makes it work! We also had the chicken vodka pasta which was cheesy and pasta cooked perfectly. The Cesar salad was made with anchovies the way we like our Cesar!! Great experience for our last night in Houston. read more

This place is way overpriced. The food isn't even that great. The location is nice but this used to be a nice fancy restaurant. I don't understand why they would put this place instead. read more

Ducky's is soooo cute! Love the retro feel and you're greeted by a cozy atmosphere the second you walk in. There are a couple sections that have couches and TVs and even some bar seating - seems like it would be a good spot to come watch a game. We ordered the crab rangoon cheesy bread to start and it's an absolute MUST order, so unique and delicious. For our mains I got the meatlovers pizza and my friend got the duck egg carbonara. Everything was good but they brought our food out in a really strange order: carbonara first, then pizza, and then finally followed by the cheesy bread. My friend had to awkwardly decide whether to wait until I had something to eat or go ahead and eat her main dish. Staff was all very friendly and checked on us throughout our meal. We'll definitely be back as food was tasty and I think they're probably just working through some of the timing as they're new! read more

Everyday I walk the neighborhood and I watched Ducky's come to life. I even saw the window painter hand draw the Peanuts characters on the window. Can't wait to see other seasonal holiday art. The service is great. Staff checks on you and get you everything you need. I opted for patio seating since I walked over with my dog. Bacon Spinach Dip - the chips were crunch. had a bite. doesn't break when you scoop. the spinach dip was surprisingly delicious. Had to ask for extra chips cause no dip goes to waste. Hot Honey Pepperoni - the pepperoni had crispy and cruncy edges and cupped a good amount of grease. It's not too floppy and not too crunchy. Pizza had a great structure. If you fold, you fold. If you just hold it, it stays and keeps it's shape. Great pizza. Can't go wrong with a classic hot honey taste either. Perfect pairing. Carrot Cake - This literally tasted like fall. caramel drizzle on top had this caramel apple taste to it that just made it even better Key Lime Pie - it almost had a cheesed cake consistency that I love. a lil thicker than usual but loved it nonetheless. I'm looking forward to coming back to try other items. Neighborhood pizza tavern that's kid friendly, dog friendly (tables outside) with great food and service. read more

Sorry to be a downer on this one. To preface, maybe they're still new and want to make an impression on the service but the hovering is just too much!! We went in on a weekday around 5 and not 1, not 2, but 3 staff members asked for our drink order all within a matter of couple of minutes, one on top of another. It's not like they couldn't see we've been greeted and given menus already and we're taking our time to look over the menus. So that made it kinda awkward and stressful for me. We finally decided on some apps (wings) and beers and they did came quickly, and wings were good and fresh (5 wings for $13). Pizza came, and I did see the kitchen staff tossing the dough so I knew everything was freshly made, and I have to say it was average at best (your mileage may vary) and I really was sorely disappointed bc I was hoping this could become our neighborhood "Cheers" kind of hangout. A few days later I had takeout pizza from Pizaro's and no contest even when the Pizaro was takeout and ducky's was fine-in, Pizaro's won by far (again your mileage may vary as pizza is such a personal thing). Sadly, Ducky's is not for me. read more

Very chill neighborhood spot with decent food and drinks. Our server, don't remember his name, was very attentive and kind even though it was very slow at the time. I appreciate this even more since service tends to lack at many places when there's not many guests present. Wings are great and prices are decent. Pizza crust could use some work. I do wish they had later hours for us industry folks. They're always done with food or about to close by the time we're able to make it. Will come back when we can! read more

The pizza here was straight-up amazing--cooked perfectly with a great crust, solid sauce balance, and quality toppings. You can tell they actually care about how the food comes out, not just pumping pizzas through an oven. Service was on point from start to finish--attentive without being annoying, fast, and genuinely friendly. The place itself is very aesthetically pleasing: clean, well-designed, and comfortable with a laid-back atmosphere. Overall vibe is super chill, which makes it a great spot for a relaxed date night or just hanging out without feeling rushed or overcrowded. Good food, good service, good energy--easy recommendation. Highly recommend checking it out. read more

Great reviews but damn my wait time for food was long , it was not busy at all when I arrived ordered wings and pizza the wings came out first about 10 minutes but the pizza took about 30 min not sure why . I will say whoever is cooking sent me over an order of some kinda bread thing as a courtesy due to me still waiting on food . I was alone and only 3 people at the bar when I arrived . The service was quick easy to order and ambiance nice and chill this place is cool very good chill spot, the bar area is great multiple tvs available for games . Once I finally got my food the table next to me got there pizza faster than I got mine I don't know if maybe cuz I was alone and they came in being a group of 4 but I observed the time . Overall my pizza was great very fresh I got the hot honey pepperoni all its missing is some jalapeños . The wings were good I tried the Tequila pineapple definitely different they have no spice if you want them spicy get another flavor . Pizza had a lot of hot honey and very well made to me like I said it's just missing some jalapeños. Overall food great ambiance great cool vibe but my personal wait experience terrible for my pizza. Highly recommend to stop by and try the food here the wait isn't always like that I'm sure. I will say at the end the waitress did apologize for the long wait and did say normally it doesn't take that long not sure what happened today. The food is great . Manager made sure I was taken care of before I left and that's appreciated. read more

i've been to Ducky's Pizza & Tavern so many times with friends, and it's always a solid go-to. it has that relaxed, slightly industry-heavy montrose vibe that just makes it easy to hang out and stay awhile. alex is a great server! super friendly, attentive, and always makes the experience better. food-wise, the montrose pizza & asian wings are easily the best thing on the menu. i literally have to order them every time. their specialty pizzas are also really good, with a lot of fun options that don't feel basic. i like coming here when i want a different vibe from Ducky McSweeney's! it's a little more laid-back but still has great energy. their cocktails are always on point, but if i'm not in the mood for that, i'll usually go for a sauvignon blanc. overall, it's just one of those reliable spots you can count on for good food, good drinks, and a chill atmosphere with friends. read more

It pains me to write this. We have been loyal Ducky's customers since they opened. The first time we had an amazing pizza. It was everything I ever want. The pepperoni was crispy. The crust was perfect. The pizza sauce was flavorful. After that first visit, it was never the same. The second time, the pizza was undercooked. Since the second visit, the pizzas are so greasy, they sit in a pool of grease. It is unreal how much grease comes off the pizza. The final time was tonight. This time, the pizza tasted completely different than I remember. The sauce had no flavor or something else was totally off. I could only stomach one piece because of the grease. The service was also bad. We sat at our table for so long before our waiter greeted us and when I pointed out the issues, they didn't do anything meaningful to suggest they cared. It's back to the drawing board for a good pizza place in Houston. I am really sad that I can never get that same pizza I had the first time at Ducky's. I'm giving it one extra star for the original pizza I had. read more

Meet several friends at Ducky's just after Happy hour and still had a good time. Beer was nice and cold. Had the fried mozzarella that was very nice. Their signature pizza was a hot honey with pepperoni. It tasted great. The crust was crisp and was devoured. The staff is professional and friendly which is no surprise since it is a community establishment. Ducky's can be very loud with their audio system turned up. Had a great time and would recommend it to anyone. I will be back. read more

Amazing experience from start to finish! My girlfriend and I had such an incredible time at Ducky's Pizza and Tavern. From the moment we walked in, we loved the building and the overall vibe, it felt welcoming, cozy, and full of character. The food was absolutely amazing, but our favorite by far was the meatballs, seriously some of the best we've ever had!! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. On top of that, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely taken care of without being overbearing. This place made for a perfect date night, and we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, great vibes, and great service! read more

Very disappointed. We enjoy coming to this establishment because of the food, how late they are open, and location since we recently purchased a home down the street.

Good service. Friendly etc. Nice people. Good tv action.... I like everything about this place but.... They need tables where the dart area is. Need more 2 and 4 top tables - move them out if someone actually wants to play darts but srsly ... Red Lion and Rudyards (Kenalleys and Phoenix too) has a long head start on you for darts. So. Ditch that idea and make more tables available that aren't high tops or couches. Also, we got the honey pepperoni pizza. Nothing "amazing". Some slices only had 2.5 or 3 on. Ok price at $18. But Appetizers and non pizza items looked better coming out of the kitchen. Will try some non pizza items next time. Keep improving please. read more

Was driving by saw they were open and popped in. Super friendly staff and interesting pizza options. Seeing as we were first timers we decided to base line them with a cheese pizza and they nailed it!!! Thin crust was totally on point and the crust tasted great.
