My family and I received a few meals from Marchese's as part of a meal train for our second child. We received the chicken pot pie, cheesy rice casserole, and the chocolate pie. Everything was absolutely fantastic and so easy to heat up. Think HEB Meal Simple but meals that taste like they're from a restaurant heated up in your oven. The pot pie is my favorite and we've since gifted it to another postpartum couple, bought it again for ourselves, and recommended the place to several friends. When my husband went to grab a pot pie for us a week or so ago, they'd just run out and the owner made two new ones for him fresh. She also said that we can always call ahead if we want something specific and they'll make it fresh! Such thoughtful, kind service! read more

Lasagna is really good. I highly recommend if you need a quick meal for the family. The staff were really helpful and gave great recommendations. Was my first time shopping will definitely not be my last. read more

I've been shopping here since way before COVID....heat and serve...high quality homemade food...very delicious lasagna....my favorite....!!!! read more

Terrific sausage with lots of fennel - bulk or sausages. Make it tri-fecta, buy some bread treats at Artisan, and eat soup and sandwiches at Ploughman's Deli. All in one small strip. read more

YES!!! Very much so it is good food and so nice to be able to buy an entree fresh and take home and compliment my salads and vegetables,

This kitchen has a good selection of "pick and take" ready-to heat or frozen entrees and deserts at reasonable prices. I selected two different frozen soups at $6.50 a bowl, a frozen chicken and rice casserole at $12 (feeds two), a frozen meat lasagna at $14 (feeds two), a small ready to heat chicken pot pie at $7, and a single serving ready to heat meat lasagna at $7 (by adding a salad and a side, this will feed two). Special note: The Artisana Bread Bakery is two doors away, and you can pick up special bread and sweets there, but note their more limited morning hours on Thursday-Saturday. read more

I love to support local small businesses. But please put more veggies and less cheese in your recipes! I look forward to trying again in future. I tried potato casserole and the King Ranch. I have two non cheese frozen meals in freezer to try next week. read more

They r super helpful and super amiable They took their business seriously The food are fantastic Love it so much The store is organized and neat read more

This little gem is a must try! I stumbled upon this place through Yelp and I recently stopped by after about a year since my last visit. Well stocked With lots of premade, take and bake, or frozen items, you can't go wrong with anything they serve. You can also find fresh sandwiches and desserts. On this visit, I got the famous pot pie. The individual portion for me is two meals, full of veggies and juicy chicken. I got the side of root vegetables to have later in the week but tasted them and they were well seasoned and baked. I also tried a brownie and it was a dense, crunchy but soft end piece. The perfect end to a delicious meal! read more

Love all the items they have. Convenient and great service with very nice people. Favorites are Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Spaghetti.

went to a party where the host served lasagna from here. i had seen the reviews and was super eager to try. and it did NOT disappoint! the lasagna was absolutely amazing - super cheesy, right amount of meat sauce, beyond flavorful. my gosh! no pics because i basically inhaled it. overall, i can barely wait to go in and see their selection to try more stuff and love that it's a locally owned business. read more

Just came across this little gem while I was visiting another business in the same strip center! I have been looking for something just like this for awhile now! I have tried the chicken salad (delicious!), the chicken spaghetti (I could eat this everyday!) and the king ranch ckn casserole(also very good!). My husband and I share one of the smalls and have a veggie side and it's always plenty to eat! I plan on using this for any meal trains for anyone that gets sick or friends that have babies! It is home-cooking without all the hassle! read more

have been coming here for years. everything is excellent. never had a bad meal!!!

Good take home casseroles. Don't always have time to make it myself. King Ranch Casserole is phenomenal! Close to home too..

It is so wonderful to have Marchese's in our neighborhood. Homemade meals ( no additives or preservative- Just home cooked goodness!). The Chicken Pot Pie is our favorite but they have many other good things. Fresh or frozen- your choice. They also have large and small sizes. They also have homemade sausage and deserts and made to order sandwiches. Family owned business that has been around for years. Friendly and fast service. Try them! read more

I'm an old Italian Chicago guy and I have to say, this is the best Italian food in Houston. The lasagna is outstanding, as are their spicy Italian sausage links. The chicken parmesan is to die for as well. I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Don't even think twice about picking up some food. You will not be disappointed. read more

Wonderful little family run business with some excellent home-cooking comfort food. Just discovered it about 6 months ago, and now regularly stock the freezer with my favorites for those evenings we don't feel like cooking. Haven't tried the whole menu yet but best dishes so far are the meat lasagna, chicken pot pie, roasted root vegetables, naan pizza and banana pudding. Some of the rice casserole dishes (like chicken enchilada with cilantro rice) are not so appetizing, sort of mushy and all the same texture. Overall, the prices are very inexpensive for what you get. read more

Got the king ranch for my mom, my papaw, and I. Very tasty. We definitely enjoyed it.

Great for our family - I'm currently pregnant and not feeling like cooking these days! The chicken spaghetti and lasagna are delicious. Will definitely be back, sending my husband for meals once baby is born :) read more

They have THE best Italian Sausage I have ever eaten. Tried the take home lasagna tonight and it is amazing. All of the casseroles they have look fab- looking forward to trying more. read more

Best chicken salad in the restaurant bidness. Best place to grab something home made to go to feed the fam when you're feeling lazy. Try the meatballs, chicken spaghetti, chicken salad, pot pies, Italian deli sandwich made by a real Italian, just try everything... hidden gem on the north side of Houston Texas. read more

OK this place is truly a blessing. The food is amazing you they make it freeze it you take it home cook it and it taste like homemade deliciousness. So far I've had the chicken spaghetti amaze balls. King Ranch chicken you will literally make yourself sick eating this because it's so freaking delicious. The macaroni and cheese will ruin you for the rest of your life for any other macaroni cheese then this macaroni and cheese so be prepared to never want to eat any other macaroni and cheese ever again besides this macaroniAnd cheese. And they also have plenty of desserts I will only divulged in the apple empanadas but holy moly.. say hello to your taste buds!!! read more

They saved my Thanksgiving meal. I am single and alone. I had bought one of their turkey and dressing meals to put in my freezer. This year's Thanksgiving I was not able to be with family or friends. My meal was very tasty. Not my homemade dinner but it hit the spot. It was moist and delicious the turkey Was fork tender. It was so much better than the frozen commercial dinner I would have purchased. Their food is so good. Thank you Marchese family. You made my Thanksgiving! read more

when I don't have time to cook, Marchese's is a go to place for me! everything is yummy

Artisana Bread recommended this place and we have now been back 4 times. We love the Eggplant Parm, Meatloaf, Chicken salad, chicken pot pies and the chicken marsala. We have in our freezer about 4 other things that we will try. It makes it so easy to defrost and then have a home cooked meal. The food is great, prices are great and much better than delivery when not wanting to cook. read more

LOVED the pot pie. The pasta that I tried was also decent. The pricing is about average for takeout food that you have to heat yourself. There are definitely I few more items I would like to try before recommending. Personally, the only drawback for me is the location. It's too far out in the middle of nowhere (in a kinda sketchy plaza). Definitely worth visiting if you're craving chicken pot pie or in the neighborhood, otherwise it's just too out of the way. Plus: The owner/person at the counter when I visited was humourous and easy to talk to. read more

Background: I first discovered Marchese foods while dining at a Houston area restaurant. The menu listed a pasta dish with "Marchese sausage." I asked the waiter what "Marchese" was. He explained that Marchese was a local family which made homemade sausage. I searched online and found Marchese Sausage Company. I sent an email to the person listed, Susan, and got a reply from her the next day. You see, for years,my wife and I had given homemade Italian sausage to our friends at Christmas time. A woman I have known for fifty years made small batches of sausage with her husband until they decided it was overwhelming. Santa was going to be sausageless. Well, Susan and I had a good telephone conversation and we ordered 30 lbs of Marchese sausage which she delivered. Then, when Susan opened her store front, we instantly became regulars. The Food: Let me say that my father's parents came over from Sicily. I grew up on pasta, Sugo, and sausage. Susan's lasagna reminds me of my grandmother's - rich with lots of cheese and sauce. Susan also sells her family's Italian sausage and it is still wonderful. I prefer the spicy version. We have tried most of her products, and her meatloaf is a standout! We also enjoy the chicken pot pies. We call before we go see her, as somethings sell out quickly. Her prices are reasonable If you want great comfort food without the effort, go to Marchese. Got to go, as we are having Marchese meatloaf tonight for dinner. read more

Try the chicken dumpling soup and Parmesan chicken, so good! Love this place, so glad we found them.

Wow!!!! What an amazing Chicken Pot Pie! This was the first visit of many to come! I was so excited when I went into this little Locally owned business. Sue and her family have been in business for two years. This is a great place for working people who rarely get any homemade from scratch food. It is a great concept. They make a variety of sizes. Meals for singles or party sizes for 10-12 people! The prices are WAY TO LOW for the quality! I am just a person who stopped in to see what her business was all about.... I never knew how delighted I would be! Thank you for dinner Sue I can't wait to come back to see you! From a person who moved to this Great city, From Illinois who truly misses her mothers southern cooking! read more

Chicken spaghetti!!! The perfect "warm my tummy" lunch... the lady working there was really suggesting the chicken salad, although it's not my fave thing to eat, I may have to try it on her advise! Very clean and friendly. Price fair for homemade food... read more

I have been wanting to try Marchese's Kitchen. I am so glad I did! I bought a large beef enchilada casserole, a side of Cheesy Broccoli & Rice and a dreamy Italian Cream cake, to share with my family in Anahuac. That's about 55 miles east of Houston. My grandson said everything was so good that he would drive to Houston to buy a ton of Sue's casseroles. My great-grandchildren had seconds. My family raved about the food and it's amazing flavor. Yes, there is road work going on along Pinemont. Guess who was buying lunch at Marchese's? Those tough construction workers! Try it! You won't be disappointed! 965 Pinemont #700 Houston, TX 77018 (713) 497-5378 read more

Delicious comfort food recipes which only require heating at home to enjoy that homemade feeling and taste. Business owners are nice, accommodating people. Great experience all around read more

This is my favorite take away place in Houston. No idea what to cook tonight? Well stop by Marcheses. I originally came for the King Ranch Casserole (which is AMAZING) but I keep coming back for authentic Italian food. The spice mixture that is used in the meats is incredible. Just spicy enough and we a strong flavor of fennel it complements the pastas very well. We have tried the pot pies as well and never been disappointed. The best thing is the price. A large king ranch casserole runs you $27 but will easily feed a huge crowd. My family of four is easily filled up by the small size dishes that start at $10. I'm here at least once a week for an easy, filling, delicious dinner when I don't want to cook and just want something to heat up. read more

It's ridiculously sublime Italian Grand Mother fabulous!. The Meatloaf! WoW! Let me simmer down now and say that I brought a group of dishes home about a month ago. The eggplant Parmesan, bacon egg and cheesy quiche, apple empanadas. All SO good. Oh but the Meatloaf! read more

Great place to pick up a "home cooked" meal. The food is tasty and easy to heat up. I have given gift certificates to couples having a baby.

I wasn't sure what to expect eating food from a take-home kitchen but I'm so glad my wife and I decided to stop by. We tried the beef lasagna. The owner markets it as a century old recipe. It definitely stands the test of time. The sausage and sauce had terrific flavor. The family portion was $27 and fed a family of 5 with plenty of leftovers. It could probably feed 8 people. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying the king ranch casserole. read more

The family recipe Marchese sausage is the best ever. We stock up to take it back to Colorado for pizza making, and to add to our lasagna. No way we will ever share our secret, but we do share the sausage with our best friends. Love the convenience of the pre-made food, and we are having a wonderful time when we are in town trying everything. Can't wait to get to the Chicken Pot Pie - a great January meal. read more

FABULOUS! DELISH! Tried them for the first time last evening. Picked up 4 - $10 trays. Chicken Parm, King Ranch Chicken, Beef Enchiladas and Meat Lasagna. Each $10 tray feeds 2 people. Trays are frozen, you need to defrost first then bake for approx. 30 minutes. I defrosted 2 trays in the microwave then straight into the oven. So far the King Ranch Chicken and Lasagna were great. Plenty of meat and cheese, both items were very flavorful. Tonight we will have the Beef Enchiladas, I know we will not be disappointed. Lovely lady at the front was sweet and helpful. Inside appears spotless. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Seriously the best chicken pot pie I've ever had! Everything we have gotten here is great! At first the prices seem a little steep, but you get many servings out of it, so it's worth it! Great for stocking up the freezer and having comfort food at home. read more
