They also do half off pizza on Mondays (the large custom pizza was only $11) which is crazy. If you order a dessert be warned, they are huge so bring a friend. Overall wonderful spot for lunch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you haven't tried before and want something nice, especially for the price. Service was also top tier, the staff was very attentive and pleasant, as well as great at explaining options.

The space is smaller but I think its designed to be that way. More so a spot to pickup and if need be theres a few tables in and outside to eat at. We ordered the pig and chicken pizza along with the truffled mushroom bruschetta. Both 10/10. The buschetta by itself can be an order. Good lord it was so good. Nutty, mushroom, cheesy crispy but not dry bread. Im a big toppings make the pizza guy. Perfect crust. I asked for it to be cooked a bit longer because i like really crispy edges. Good bread to topping ratio. You can tell the toppings arent just run of the mill stuff you put on top. The pizza was flavorful, the ricotta was creamy and gave a good cut through with the fatty meats on the pizza. Wonderful job talespin. I need to come back for the breakfast for dinner pizza.

- Houston flavor with attitude…read more Gypsy Poet is one of those Houston spots where the pizza shows up acting like it's the headliner, and the drinks roll in like they're trying to renegotiate their contract. They're known for their artisanal, wood‑fired Neapolitan‑style pizzas and whimsical, eclectic atmosphere, and somehow they pull it off without feeling forced or theatrical. The dough has that confident chew -- not floppy, not stiff, just right. The toppings taste intentional, like someone actually sat down and said, "We're not doing mediocre today." Every slice feels like it's trying to impress you, and honestly, it does. Gypsy Poet's drink lineup is way stronger than you expect from a pizza parlor. The lemonade snaps -- bright, sharp, and ready to wake your whole brain up. The sangria is cold, fruity, and dangerously smooth -- the kind of drink that convinces you you're the funniest person in the building. The beer and wine selection stays reliable and unfussy, perfect for when you want flavor without theatrics. The atmosphere leans whimsical and eclectic, but not in a way that tries too hard. It feels like a creative studio that decided pizza was a better use of its time. Art everywhere, people everywhere, energy everywhere. Students, creatives, downtown workers, and that one person who looks like they're writing a screenplay about the place -- all in the mix without stepping on each other's vibe. It's lively, expressive, and very Houston in that "we're doing our own thing" way.

I have to confess that I'm a bit of a pizza snob, as are my companions, so it's noteworthy that all three of us gave very high marks to the pies here. Dan and Azar both ordered the Neo Marguerita pizza (with mushrooms added), and I got the Funghi. I think a significant highlight of their Neo Marguerita pizzas was the sauce - extra rich and intense from tomato pulp - it enhanced all the other ingredients perfectly. My Funghi pizza was just a delight in every way. You simply can't go wrong with mushroom umami and the sweet intensity of caramelized onions. The cheese and crust were miraculous, too. Did I mention that this was on a Wednesday? My bad. It just so happens that on Wednesdays wines are half off! A crisp, clean Pinot Grigio paired well with our meal. Last, but certainly not least, the service was above par - efficient, friendly, and responsive. My takeaway: if you want authentic, delicious food and a welcoming vibe, go here! You won't be disappointed.

The delivery driver used to deliver pizza for another company that closed the doors after 30 years. He came by the house and dropped off a menu. I am glad he did. The pizza is great. The dough is perfect and the amount of toppings are above the normal from the "chain" restaurants. One of the best pizza restaurants for delivery within their area. read more

Although his focaccia are available at Spec's, frozen, to bake at home at 450 F for 6 minutes, on Sundays, Chef Andrea prepares these exquisite Roman style pizzas from 9-2 at this location on Yale at Tidwell.

So much knowledge on its culinary history. He wants to move pizza to where it is treated with respect, not as a throwaway quick something something, but as a serious example of haute cuisine. And I'm right there with him. Side note: You will see a bad review here from Rami M. Read it carefully, as he chose to give a bad review based on his waiting time. But if you read more, you will see that the staff bent over backwards to make it right for him, comping his meal and giving him some frozen pizzas to take home.

A few of our group also ordered salads, I chose not to. The salads came out super fast and looked good, they top the salad with big shaved pieces of carrots which gave the salads a really nice look. My friends all enjoyed them. Then the pizzas came out, one friend got the Grandma Pie with a nice thick crust. Another got the Godfather and I ended up getting a veggie topped one with mushrooms, onion, green bell pepper and black olives and one half of the pie also had spinach. My pie was really good, they must have a really good and hot oven as my pie was crispy with the thin NY style crust and jus the slightest bit of char on the rolled edges. About the only thing that I'm knocking off a point for was the cost, these pizzas aren't cheap like the usual chain pizzas are. My 14 inch pizza with tax and a small tip was $39 and change!
