I've been coming here for over 25 years. I love this place to my wife's favorite pizza or pasta. Everything is homemade. The owners always there he knows us by name. It feels so comfortable. We love the service nice ambience. Like little Italy read more

Today I came to get lunch and I came with a friend. As we entered we saw the menu and I had mentioned to him that I was going to get the chicken Parmesan sub. Once I got to the counter to order I told the woman and she repeated it to me correctly however when I received the food it was a meatball marinara sub. To me they sound completely different, but she swore that's what I ordered but I count show her because the receipt isn't itemized but I believe she put it incorrectly in the system due to her being her phone while taking my order. After she decided to bring me the correct order she slammed the plate in the table as if I had done something wrong to her. This place is only getting 2 stars because the food is decent but her service was very disrespectful for no reason Hopefully this reaches the owner. read more

Still feel exactly the same about y'all, and haven't tried y'all again because of how poorly this situation was handled. A manager should have at least reached out once in several months. read more

Highly recommend the lasagna. Above average. The pizza was also pretty decent for the price. Key note. Can't beat the price.

I LOVE this place. It's so "mom and pop" and I LOVE THAT! As my wife is a real New Yorker, she fell in love with the pizza and garlic knots/rolls. Everything else was great too (please see the pictures). Service was SUPER NICE and easy. This place is so freaking quaint. I can't wait to get my next slice! (I wish they had balsamic vinaigrette). Would I come back? HELL YAH! I can't wait! read more

I have been coming here since highschool (like 15 years) it is my favorite pizza in Houston so far. I love it. It's the perfect cheese to sauce ratio and flop. Their garlic knots are tasty; so good dipped in the marinara. The spaghetti marinara is really good too. I like the house salad. I'm a creature of habit so I haven't really tried more than those but I can imagine their other dishes are good and I will try them one day! The service is great. I saw someone else comment it's mom and pop and it so is this ambiance. It's great. I tell everyone about it. read more

Original Napoli - Memorial Dr - NY Style Cheese Pizza 16" Pizza - Italian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered the lobster ravioli, chicken Alfredo, calamari, and a side of garlic bread for a to-go order. The food itself is good overall, and the chicken Alfredo was definitely my favorite item - flavorful, well cooked, and the most enjoyable dish from the order. The calamari was my least favorite, not bad, but it didn't really stand out. That said, the portion sizes don't match the price point, and the restaurant seems inconsistent with how they portion both food and sauces. For example, the garlic bread came with four rolls but only one very small container of dipping sauce. The lobster ravioli order had only five raviolis, and even the salad came with a very small amount of dressing. Overall, it felt like everything had to be rationed. I've never dined in, so I can't speak to whether portions are better when eating at the restaurant, but for takeout, the value just isn't there. Good food, and would recommend you to try - but the pricing versus portions makes it hard to justify. read more

I have been going to Napoli for over a decade and never in all that time have I had such a terrible experience. I haven't been since last October and I'm not sure if management/ownership has changed since, but whoever's running it has no clue what they're doing. We ordered a half Hawaiian and half supreme pizza. Instead they made a third supreme, 2/3 Hawaiian and there's a whole sliver with nothing at all. My sister was eating a slice of the Hawaiian and there was literally plastic in it. How does that even occur? We brought it up with the lady at the cash register who seemed to be managing it and all she had to say was that she'll tell the workers to be more careful. That's not how you handle a food service error in my opinion. She didn't even apologize. I also had the pasta Napoli which I only ate half of and took the rest home. When I was eating my leftovers, there was a hard chunk of something dark brown in color. I have no clue what it was but there wasn't supposed to be meat in it. Bottom line, their food handling is atrocious. They've ruined the restaurant and the way they "dealt" with the plastic issue is unacceptable. I was a long time customer and I will never return. Maybe others are too careless to notice what has changed but I can definitely tell the quality and service has dropped. Do better. read more

Responding to the restaurant: Thank you but I was not looking for a pink sauce or a mix. I was looking for one scoop of marinara and one of Alfredo (splitting the dish between the two) so that wouldn't have worked. This is not the first time this has happened. $22 for manicotti because of Alfredo sauce is expensive. read more

Amazing pasta. I went with a group and everyone was blown away. The service was amazing. The food was fresh and very tasty. We will definitely be returning . read more

Was craving Italian food on a Tuesday night, Napoli is close to home, so I thought, why not? When we arrived there was only a couple of cars in the parking lot. That makes me think that either people didnt have the same thought as I had, or it wasn't very good. We entered, and I thought we didn't enter through the front. For a minute is was very confusing. Its not a sit down and order type of place. You order at the counter, they give you a number then when your food is ready they bring it out to you. I also have to admit, this place is a bit of a hole in the wall type place. It wasn't particularly small, but it wasn't big either. It looked like it had been there for quite a while. After looking at the menu, I decided on the manicotti, not something that I'd normally order, but for some reason it stood out to me. Apparently they make their pasta homemade. We got a salad with our meal, and it arrived 1st. It was a decent salad, and I loved the house dressing. It was nice and tangy and went really well with the salad. They also serve that with a piece of bread. It was nice and fresh and tasted really good dipped in the salad dressing. A few minutes later my manicotti arrived. It was HOT! I had a wait a few minutes for it to cool off. While I was waiting, I had a little piece of bread left and dipped it in the manicotti sauce. I was like... wow! This is really good. After that I couldn't wait for it to cool, I had to go ahead and try it. It was still VERY hot, but it was almost worth the tongue scorch. You could tell that the pasta was homemade. I dont really know how to describe it, but the texture was spot on. I ended up cleaning my plate, something that I don't do often. I am so glad that we gave this little place a shot. It was well worth is, and not overly priced. I just need to save room for dessert next time. read more

GREAT FOOD! It's definitely a hole in the wall for sure. Just like its neighboring place Siagon, it looks old and rundown on the outside, but don't let that fool you. It's good food, good staff and service, and overall great vibes. read more

Let me say the service was very good. You order at a counter and the girl working was helpful and was the only one delivering food and clearing tables. However the food was really bad. The mozzarella sticks were all bad unseasoned breading with very little cheese. The pizza was also bland and the crust was more like a cracker on the rim and the middle was somehow soggy. The penne 'homemade' pasta was .50 cents worth of bagged pasta with garlic olive oil so salty I could not finish it. For a restaurant that's been here in this area for years, I honestly have to ask why?? First and only time I would eat there and would also tell others it's not worth it. read more

I love this restaurant. It has been there for years, not fancy, but just great food. There is a particular salad that I order on a regular basis. I love it. They used to serve two pieces of their wonderful bread with it and a while back they cut back to only one piece. Now the one piece is about half the size of what it used to be and I find that very disappointing because it is so good. read more

I can't believe this place has been under my nose for 33 years and I'm just trying it for the first time! Cozy Italian restaurant with booth and table seating inside plus a small outdoor seating. It's a walk up order style but the bring the food to your table. Great service. I had the Caesar salad to start. They put carrot shreds in theirs. Interesting, as I've never seen carrots in a Caesar salad. It was good. For my meal, I had the Pasta Napoli. A zesty blend of basil sauce with a splash of alfredo sauce & fresh mushrooms. Served over ziti pasta. Bread is served with each dish. We also tried the fried mozzarella. These bad boys were huge! I have never seen mozzarella that big. Very tasty! The atmosphere is charming and the service is terrific! We met the owner, "Papa Zack". He was very friendly and dubbed his food as "Texas Italy" because the portions are so big. They truly are big. I had 2-1/2 meals off mine. The pizza at other tables looked delicious and I can't wait to try their soups. Will return soon! Apparently, Papa Zack is adding burgers to the menu. There's a small space to the right of the main restaurant that will be for burger orders, as best I can tell. If he does Italian food this good and adds burgers, this place will be unstoppable! I will want to try the new addition as well! read more

This is such a great local restaurant. We enjoy supporting locally owner businesses and this one is one of the best. The food is very good, the service is great, the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is clean and relaxing. Parking is ample. I encourage others who live in the west Memorial area to stop in and enjoy a great meal. read more

I had lunch here last week for the first time coming in with low expectations. From what I understand this is a small Houston area restaurant chain and the outside looked a little dreary and the interior is cozy and relaxed. Parking spaces are plentiful in front. This is a counter service restaurant that has indoor and outdoor seating available along with a separate party room. From the lunch menu, I decided on the Scallopini de Pollo for $10.95 that also comes with a salad and bread. Almost all of the entrees on this menu were below that price. After getting my drink from the self serve station, I grabbed a table and about 5 minutes later the salad and bread arrived. It was a nice salad with fresh greens, cucumbers and tomatoes with a side of Parmesan cheese and was very good. The bread was 2 large warm rolls and this food was a nice start. About 10 minutes later the entree arrive. It was a large thin cut piece of chicken sautéed with a lemon flavor beside a bed of cooked spinach on the plate. The chicken was very flavorful and still juicy with the hint of lemon. The spinach was also very good and a delight to eat. I must say that this meal was not only tasty but also a generous serving of food. For the money it was a real value. This is a quaint restaurant with a nice neighborhood vibe to it that anyone would feel comfortable to come to for a casual and relaxed meal. I would be happy to return. read more

Please be careful eating here. My husband and I got the worst food poisoning ever from eating here. I called to inform them and I was hung up on. Use to be one of our favorite restaurants but not anymore. read more

I've been meaning to try this place mainly due to the Pizza. Ordered a pepperoni via UberEats delivery. This pizza isn't "artisan" by any means. It's definitely not close to the Marco's, Domino's, etc. It's a straight up pizza pie, New York style. What I love about it? It's got a crisp on the crust! It's not doughy or chewy! On top of that, it tastes great. I definitely want to try their Sicilian as well. read more

Extremely good homemade pasta and sauce. I got the eggplant parmigiana, which every meal comes with homemade garlic knots and house salad. Delicious, very comfortable atmosphere. A gem in the Memorial area. I will definetly go back soon. read more

First, the food is good. Let's get that out of the way. Secondly, the food is ridiculously cheap! We got Calimari, meatball sandwiches, Belgian mussels, sausage and peppers, a beer, and a glass of wine for $50. No lunch menu either. No special for the day. Those were the regular prices. Lunch menu was even cheaper! The place is quiet. They play mostly jazz music and 40's type music in the background. The place is cozy inside. Nothing super spectacular, decor wise, but for a cheap date or a family, this is a great place. Also, you won't be able to eat it all. The portions are pretty large. They also give you free homemade, fresh baked garlic bread with your meals. Excellent bang for the buck. read more

The food was nice and hot and they have the best marinara I've ever had!!! This place has been open for many years and my family has always come here. It's still a favorite of ours read more

I've put up with napolis enough times. The owner is a dick and shameless when it comes to understanding guest issues. Every new hire needs time I get it but it's basic stuff. Two pizzas not one. Capers added (which ahouls already be there) they don't come on it. Got food poisoning once. After the workers and food poisoning I tried again bc their food truly is good. The owner was just up right rude and entitled. Steer clear. Food is good but don't support a butt head. read more

We were on a quest to find the best pizza in our part of town...and we were delighted to stumble upon this place. Boy was the pizza great! To start off, we were greeted by the owner/founder who generously helped us figure out the extensive options. Tis a cozy place, filled with long term regulars, several of which he addressed by name. While we loved the pizza, now I want to come back soon and sample the many other Italian dishes on the menu. read more

I've been going to this restaurant since 2002. It used to be a great place to order to go. Lately, the food quality has declined and the counter staff can't seem to get my order right.
