After becoming a household name in Dallas, Pie Tap expanded to Houston last year, finding a beautiful home in River Oaks / Highland Village area. While their expectations were sky high, they apparently were never met as the experiment fizzled in less than a year. On the surface, things looked excellent. The location was central and the venue was gorgeous. It was modern, spacious, clean, and buzzing with folks from all walks of life. The staff was young and ambitious, doing their best to keep things in line with excellent phone manners and were organized all around. The bathrooms were so clean that they ended up being my favorite part of their interior. The menu really embodied their "Pizza. Rotisserie. Bar." theme, which resulted in an extensive menu of food and drinks, with the semi-laughable solo choice of rotisserie, which was a half bird and a handful of sides at $19. Overall, the prices seemed reasonable by neighborhood standards, with the pizzas themselves all less than $20 and pastas were around the same. The kids menu had numerous sub-$10 items and free dough to keep youngins occupied. To be fair, the pizzas were not particularly memorable despite being extremely presentable. The staff would shower a blanket of cheese on the entrees, which made every dish look the part for quality food porn. Despite feeling a bit skimpy portion wise, the pastas fared far better than the pizza. The pappardelle bolognese was their priciest option but was also the weakest link flavor wise. The carbonara ($19) was tastier but was gobbled up faster than the rigatoni vodka ($20), which had the best presentation of the dishes. The cauliflower mash and broccolini were immediate passes (#1) and the wagyu smash burger ($16) was highly recommended but also highly underwhelming. Despite the mediocrity of several items, I still enjoyed what Pie Tap had to offer. While the space is now occupied by Anthony's New York italian (#2), I am hopeful that Pie Tap hasn't given up on the Houston market and will find themselves in another spot in town soon. ___________ (#1) No. Not again.

Pie Tap provides great quality menu items that don't make you feel bloated and weighed down after the fact. They use high quality ingredients and the entrees are pretty consistent for the most part. I personally opt for the pepperoni and sausage pizza. The pasta bolognese is also quite good and the chicken meatballs are light and flavorful. Marcus or Brandon usually takes care of us. He provides top notch service while maintaining an inviting environment. I would recommend Pie Tab to anyone in the mood for a nice casual spot with top notch food at a fair value. Just note the parking is limited and while valet parking is available I was informed during my most recent visit the valet parking is no longer validated by the restaurant so expect to pay about $10 for parking. (I hope the restaurant owners will re-implement the validated parking in the future). read more

My favorite Dallas restaurant now in Houston! Life just got so much better!!! I lived in Dallas for a couple of years and Pie Tap is one of the things I miss the most. So this is a welcome addition to Houston! I had to order my favorites; Simple Salad and Veggie Pizza + salami. I also HIGHLY recommend the board as an appetizer, but too much for just 1 person. Definitely shareable. Great location on Westheimer. Parking garage attached, so very convenient. Service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a cool laid back vibe. Casual while still elevated. If you have been to one in Dallas, it's the same vibe. I do not give 5 stars unless it is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. And I have them 5. Check my reviews and you will see I don't easily hand them out. Give Pie Tap a shot. Fill the restaurant. Keep them busy. If they don't make it, I will be very unhappy LOL. read more

Planed a full day outing around the location of this restaurant. Just to find out they decided not to honor restaurant weeks on "sundays" even though that is no where on the website or posting if there hrw menu. Since our server Marcus was so nice and we were starving by this time we decided to stay. The restaurant is well lit with upbeat music playing in the background Blueberry refresher mocktail 9/10 Rosemary lemonade 7/10 Meatballs 6/10 ~ lacking some flavor and texture Crazy Alfredo 9/10 Chicken pie 7/10 read more

Free parlking options. What a pain to find the free parking locations . But the trick is to go on the side street entrance to the garage. They have a 96 hour fermentation. As someone who bakes that just has me scratching my head so I assume that that 96 hour fermentation has to be at low temperatures in order to avoid overdevelopment of the gluten. That is to say over development of the dough that the yeast fed on. Weird. read more

New development in Highland Village apartment complex. You'll definitely be parking in the garage to get here. Other than that the restaurant itself inapproachable and bright. Lots of natural light and a clear view to the two pizza ovens they use in the kitchen area. Not much to say for the service side of things, we were say quickly at lunch time, friendly server to help us get the basics done and answer a question or two. The pizza style familiar to neopolitan I'd say, but it's not tavern or new you style. Very thin crust on the bottom almost tending toward cracker like crisp, it's not soft anywhere. Very bubbly edge and chewy too, easy munch on. The half dozen premade pizza toppings they have are pretty standard for American pizza joints, nothing that looks to corner the authenticity market. The topping composition is high quality though, I was really digging the fennel sausage sliced long and thin, it was also used in the rigatoni. Calamari was lightly battered with peppers thrown in as well, which is always a welcome addition. This is a great no fuss and no regret pizza spot, covers all the bases of what you want from a sit down pie spot, with plenty of drinks and beers available and tvs to watch. On the flip side it doesn't hit some of the highs are classic Italian flavors and combos you might be looking for when you do pizza. read more

I've had the opportunity to check out Pie Tap twice and I appreciate a laid back restaurant like this in the River oaks area. My friend and I went the first day they opened and got a chance to chat with the team about the restaurant. It's extremely spacious, with booth and table seating, along with a full bar. They have an impressive happy hour (3-6pm) with $4 mimosas, $5-$6 cocktails (add the mocktail option to happy hour as well please), and $7 half pies. This to me is a real happy hour. My second time here, I actually ate. I got the half pie margherita, the blueberry mocktail and a topo chico. The pies came out within 7 minutes and it was delicious. I got mine with the gluten friendly crust. Just wish they had vegan cheese. They also have decent salad options and a few other things for folks who may not want pizza. Plenty of parking in the garage so check them out! read more

Tapped into a new pizza spot in town. We started off with the salad that was so yummy we cleaned the plate. Perfect amount to share as a starter. The Prosciutto pizza was my favorite of all. All the toppings paired well together. The taste of balsamic in each bite. The ricotta almost seemed whipped and melted into the warm pizza. The margherita pizza was a little floppy. But I'm sure with time they will perfect it. When I mentioned this the waiter even stopped us to say he already told the chef. We were impressed with their response to any comments. Refreshing to see a business actually take criticism and be willing to improve. Honestly lately I have gotten used to waitstaff not being that attentive. Each one we encountered this evening were very much willing to do anything and answer all the questions. We enjoyed the outside seating which wasn't too loud considering it is along Westheimer. There is parking in the garage behind the restaurant that seemed to have ample parking on a Monday. read more

I was very much impressed by my visit to Pie Tap. It's new to Houston, just opened up a couple days ago, and I definitely recommend it to anyone The exterior is super hip, and when you walk inside it's even more modern, trendy, yet inviting. The decor and fixtures are gorgeous. The brick pizza ovens are awesome. The bar area was fully stocked and immaculate. I know it was pretty much a grand opening, but everything had a place and the layout/decor was exceptional I was greeted at the door and was told that I could sit wherever I'd like. Once seated the host came back with a brass bottle of hand sanitizer My server was very friendly and bubbly. She was incredibly knowledgeable in terms of Pie Tap - the menu, history, suggestions etc. The menu offers a variety of apps, pastas, salads, and other entrees, but their breaks and butter is pizza. They have plenty of beer, cocktails, mocktails, and other drinks to choose from The service was speedy, and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The food tasted incredible. It was nearly looked as good as it tasted My server was incredible, the ambiance was exceptional, and the food was delightful... I will definitely be returning Some tips: There is a parking garage/valet as part of the building Pie Tap is connected to. There are lunch specials and happy hour promotions. I would recommend the 1/2 pizza and 1/2 salad lunch option for $12. It's still A LOT of food Cheers!! read more

The Caesar salad was a strong start -- whole romaine, fresh, and well dressed. We ordered the Margherita and pepperoni pizzas, and both delivered. The crust has a nice sourdough flavor, and the pizzas were light enough that you don't feel weighed down. I'd definitely order them again. The honey roasted rosemary lemonade sounded better than it tasted -- it mostly came across as regular lemonade, which was a little disappointing. Service from our server was good. The hostess was a bit less welcoming when we mentioned we didn't have a reservation (even though one wasn't required and the place was mostly empty). Also worth noting: the booth-side seating is pretty tight, making conversation a bit difficult. Prices felt about average for today's economy. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the mood for light, well-made pizza. For those who care, the pizza is also good cold the next day! read more

Pie Tap - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Spotted this spot on TikTok and decided to slide through since they just opened on June 2nd. They've got a happy hour deal that caught my eye that includes food and drink specials. Sounds like a win, right? Free parking in the garage attached to the building, which is basically a love letter to Houston locals. Service? On point. The hostess greeted me the second I stepped in, and I'm pretty sure the manager chimed in too. The bartender was cool, gave solid recommendations, and yes they've got a full bar. I ordered the pineapple habanero margarita (light on the habanero because I'm not about that spicy drink life). It was actually amazing. Sweet, tangy, with just the right kick. Now... the pizza. I went with the happy hour pepperoni. $9, four slices, one pepperoni per slice like they were rationing it for war times. The dough was too Sweet for my liking but it was cooked crispy just how I like it. But for pepperoni? Nah. I like abundance, not minimalism on my pizza. Then came the plot twist: $3.50 for a side of buffalo sauce. Three dollars American green dollars And fifty cents. For sauce. Be serious. Please! Overall: Service was great Drinks are fire Parking ... free Pizza was mid. Would I go back? Yeah; but next time I'm ordering anything but the pizza. read more

Went to Pie Tap for lunch; located in River Oaks. Not exactly sure the parking situation but we parked across the street at Walgreens and walked over. The interior is quite nice for a casual Italian spot / pizzeria. Upon being seated, we got the blueberry mocktail to start. It was tasty but a bit too sweet, 3.5/5. We ordered the fried calamari for appetizer; it was cooked well but the pieces were a bit small and it lost some of the tenderness of the calamari; 3.5/5. The Caesar salad was also ordered in a smaller starter portion; super tasty. The lettuce leaves were a bit large so it was hard to eat in one bite so it was spot on; 4.5/5. We ordered a spicy rigatoni vodka pasta for the table; pasta was cooked well (al dente) and the dish was well received, 4/5. We also got a few pizzas family style for the table; the sausage, the prosciutto, and the mushroom. The sausage pizza was slightly forgettable; the crust is a good and crunchy bar style crust. The pie could've used some more of the fennel sausage and some additional toppings. 3.5/5. The prosciutto was the favorite out of the three pizzas. I wasn't a fan of the dollop of ricotta cheese but after I took it off, this pizza is solid with a very traditional flavor profile (play off of the fig and pig combo). 4/5. The mushroom pizza was the least well received out of the three pizzas; the farm eggs on the pizza really gave it a breakfast feel; unfortunately if you're not an egg fan, this pizza isn't for you. If the mushrooms were sautéed or smoked a bit more, that could've added some layers of flavor to the pizza but most of this pizza went into our to-go box. 3/5. Overall, the interior of the restaurant is probably the nicest I've seen for a pizza spot in Houston. The pasta was solid based off of the one dish that we ordered. The pizza is a nice bar style with a very crispy crust; this is quite different than the slightly more doughy Neapolitan style. I think we should've ordered some of the other more basic topping pizzas, which may have been better received (Margherita and pepperoni pizza). read more

First time Pie Tapper.This place is leggit (if you can spot it from The 'Hiemer) I ordered the half pie half salad lunch special. What a deal at 12 bucks! First the salad. All greens were fresh. It had artisanal cherry tomatoes and all root vegetables were shaved - including endive. Lots of different veggies. Def NOT a "simple salad" lol. On to the personal pan Italian sausage pizza. I'm usually a "thin crust guy ". This one is on the thicker side but somehow is light. Almost reminds me of sourdough! The Italian sausage was SLICED link sausage straight off the push cart street vendor in Lower Manhattan! Really authentic. The Smoked Mozzarella was a beautiful complement to the sausage and was melded together with some of best sautéed onions I've ever had! Really a classic pie. Totally satisfying! I washed it down with a Four Corners El Chingón IPA (outstanding) and great conversation and service from Kora, the knowledgeable barkeep. ILL BE BACK!!! Only drawback is this place is hidden under some apartments in the retail space. Skip the valet and plenty of parking to avoid rain and heat!! read more

We had a perfectly fine takeout dinner from Pie Tap. We ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta, and it was fine--the sauce was good, though I thought the big slices of sausage were a bit odd. The pizza was fine flavor-wise but perhaps a little tough--maybe the pizza would have been better if it wasn't takeout. read more

Pie tap is amazing! From the Sourdough crust to the hummus with fresh sourdough. The pizzas are delicious and the customer service is A+! The vibe is great for a date night, dinner with friends or for families. Everybody is so welcoming. I am not sure why they don't have an hour wait! read more

Update bc my review bc I went back today for brunch and Pie Tap outdid themselves compared to the last visit. Garlic Puff - YUM! Cinnamon rolls - So flavorful and delicious Friend had the GF crust pizza and enjoyed it. Others had the chicken meatballs which had zero complains. We had farmers breakfast and the blueberry lemon French toast. Both VERY good. The potatoes were spot on. Also, the brunch drink specials can't be missed. $5 sangria and great mimosas. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy and they were giving the same attention to all of their tables. Friendly and funny! This restaurant isn't nearly as busy as it should be. I will definitely return. So come and check out their brunch, you won't be disappointed. read more

Came here to try for the first time during Restaurant Weeks. The waitress was very nice .and the menu selection on the special and regular menus were nice. I ordered a sangria, meatballs, pepperoni pizza, a cheese and meat board and donuts with chocolate. EVERYTHING took so long to come out. It took about 15 minutes for the sangria, about 30 for the meatballs and even longer for the board and pizza! The sangria was watery and lacking in flavor considering everything that was supposed to be in it. The meatballs were lukewarm and lacking in flavor, the pizza was lackluster and the donuts were very thick. The charcuterie board and bread were decent but the star of this show was the jam that accompanied the board. All in all the experience was disappointing. I likely will not return. read more

Started with the Caesar salad- delicious, love the crumbles on top. Chicken lollipops were amazing, and the rigatoni pasta was chef's kiss. our bartenders were knowledgeable, and excited about the food. The restaurant deco is modern, casual. Definitely recommend. A lot of food, but not heavy like other Italian based establishments! read more

Went in for brunch this weekend and left really disappointed. Waitress was sweet, but service was very slow and the restaurant wasn't busy (our table of 7 was the largest!). Every dish our table ordered was either lackluster or bad (not cooked through, cold, or too much of a spice or condiment). No coffee available so just espresso drinks that were really bad. The manager did acknowledge the cinnamon rolls were undercooked and offered to make it right. The breakfast sandwich was the best item we ordered. We are locals, so we're really rooting for Pie Tap! We've been multiple times before and it has been wonderful, but this last experience was poor. read more

They have a great happy hour. I love their pizza the workshop salad. It's very clean and service was very good.

I love it! Think of mod pizzas parents when it comes to the layout of the restaurant. The food is super good, everything tastes really fresh! I had the pepperoni pizza- A1. I also had the blueberry french toast which I really liked full of fresh blueberries and loved it wasn't overly sweet . Service was great and the manager also checked in periodically.

Tried it for the first time 6/8/2025. Very pleased with this place. Had the lollipop chicken wings (hot honey garlic), the prosciutto pizza, and chocolate cake. Everything was so good!

Highly recommend. read more

I am currently leaving High tap. We love the restaurant have been here multiple times, but today was a joke. The waitress named Valeria was absolutely horrible. We ordered a Caesar salad and an appetizer. They never brought it and then brought the main courses. The pizza was cold. it was not correct. The manager was not very smart or helpful.

I made a pickup order on Uber Eats for myself because I needed to eat on the go. The waitress told me it would be 5 minutes when I arrived for my order to be ready and it took about 20 minutes to get my food.

The donuts are hard and the strawberry jam and honey that went all along with it was not good either. I will not be returning and I was disappointed with the food and service. read more

Went for brunch at 11 on a Sunday, only a few tables of people so no problem getting seated. A little quiet for our table with toddlers but I'm sure when it's more crowded it'd be more lively. Overall a casual atmosphere, kind of reminds me of North Italia vibe. Food was delicious, the kids chocolate chip pancake is large and so fluffy and definitely taste like a dessert. Salmon board was perfection with homemade sourdough. And husband's farm breakfast looked great, definitely would come back and want to try pizzas. read more

This is the HOTTEST new spot for date nights,girls brunch, or even just a quick bite with the family!

Definitely a spot to check out the dough is incredible as well if you are looking for a step up from your normal family pizza night ! read more

Pie Tap is a cool, relaxed environment to hang with friends and enjoy some good Italian food. Went for date night and upon arrival ran into a few friends already dining, we joined them and had a great evening of food, folks & fun!

The wagu burger so yummy and the spicy rigatoni pasta was a good recommendation from Brandon! We also had the arancini app!

Thanks Pie-Tap!! read more

The portions get smaller and smaller each time we go there. The calimari appitizer cost $15. but only had a pieces of seafood. Worth about $5 at most. Two orders of the voka pasta each at $21: but half the size of the amount of food from last 2 visits. I guess the tarrifs are driving down the amount and size of the portions that are served? The food is excellent but wish they would increase the size to make it worth it. Also they are running contest to support chaning their name on Instagram but impossiible to enter to win the $200 free food. The manager did not know anything about it! Pizza excellent, especially the dough. read more

we were excited to visit this new Pizza place, and sadly disappointed. It was a nice atmosphere, busy but not packed and the worst service I've had in years. We ordered appetizer, bread puffs and when it finally arrived it was good. Two pizzas were delivered so our friends begin to eat their order, and we waited, and waited - our salad made it, it was not as our waiter described and it went back. We then easily waited another 30mins hoping our last pizza would arrive, nope it was the to go order! After what seemed like forever, and after our friends had finished their pizzas, ours arrived. It was ok, and frankly after being in the place for close to 2hrs, i was out of the mood. I will also say that all the tables around us were being served. We couldn't even get out drinks refilled! We were told the manager was too busy to come by our table(we didn't ask for one). I hope this place survives. Restaurant business is tough, but I will not be returning. read more
