After an early movie at the River Oaks Theater next door, I waited till Happy Hour around 3 p.m. just to try their food. I stopped by for some ice cream next door at Marble Slab and perused a clothing boutique to pass the time. Since it was early on New Year's Eve, it was pretty empty except maybe a couple and a small group when I came in. I decided to sit at the bar area. I like that they had mocktail options and went with the Vesuvian Blush which has ginger, tea, lemon and mint. It was a nice and refreshing tea, and the ginger did not overpower the tea flavor. I ordered a few items from the happy hour menu. Happy hour is from 3 to 6 PM on weekdays. The Rucola salad was $10 and was a mountain high plate of arugula, spinach, pine nut, parmigiano, shaved fennel, and lemon citronette. It was nice, bright and peppery. It paired nicely with the margherita pizza I ordered, which was only $9.50. I added mushrooms as an extra topping. As another appetizer, I ordered the Cavolfiore ($10) which is crispy panko cauliflower, calabrian lemon aioli, parsley pesto, and Calabrian chile. It came with a half slice of grilled lemon. The cauliflower was tender and stayed crispy with the panko coating despite the aioli at the bottom. I'm also a fan of the Calabrian lemon aioli. This appetizer was delicious and I would order it again. You get a tiny Italian hard candy with your receipt. Happy hour was worth it! So much food at a reasonable price...especially for one person. I could have easily shared everything. I enjoyed the food and would return. I would like to try the Cacio E Pepe pizza and see how it compares to the one at Rosie Cannonball. read more

Finally tried Pizzana! This spot has been on my list forever, especially since it's located right next to the River Oaks Theatre. Overall, the vibe didn't hit quite as expected to me. We were seated along the western wall which felt a little awkward at a table for 2 squished between two groups. They didn't have any draft beer which is sadly a must for me when having pizza!! Another thing I noticed was the wine wasn't served in traditional wine glasses which made it feel a little less polished than I expected (especially for the price). We ended up not ordering drinks and focusing on the pizza! The Cacio e Pepe was great for a few slices but the parmigiano creama ended up being way too overpowering for me. Though, we LOVED the diavola pizza and would definitely get this again! Overall, it doesn't seem like it'll turn into our pre-movie spot like I had hoped, but might just be personal preference! Service was lovely and kind. read more

Great place for pizza. We went on a bingo night which was wonderful experience. Also joined their monthly club so can't wait to go back! Maybe an Italian singer on some nights would feel like a NYC experience. If you want great pizza and great service don't miss this hidden gem. read more

The family loves pizza so of course we had to try this place. Staff was friendly and accommodating, answered all our questions helped us with our entrée selections and made suggestions . Put in our order for appetizers we had the meatballs, Carvolfiore - cauliflower was crispy & delish, Cesare Insalata - (dining companions ate it up) , Chop - (chopped salad, good but I expected the ingredients to be more chopped), and Carvoletto de Bruxelles - (brussels sprout salad - crispy & tasty). Then our server came and took our orders for entrées. I ordered a vegan pizza because I can't eat cheese and they allow me to add sausage to it. The pizza was delicious. The crust was crispy and chewy. The toppings were tasty. The dining area is family friendly. We had a large party with kids and it was fine. Unfortunately, because of the center it's located in there is not a lot of parking and the close spots are paid parking . read more

My group and I came here for dinner after watching a movie at the River Oaks Theatre because it was within walking distance. The interior was classy and upscale, and the service was friendly. We were personally recommended the Diavola pizza, and the Neo Margherita; both were sliced into 6 pieces, and we shared them amongst the 4 of us. I also tried a bit of the Spaghetti al Pomodoro Pasta from my friend. As for my overall thoughts... the Diavola was definitely worth the try! It's nothing I've ever tried before; it had a spicy taste from the salami, and the drizzle of honey, along with the walnuts, added a unique sweetness. The charred shallots were also a delicious addition. The Neo Margherita was good as well, but nothing special. Both pizzas had a thin crust. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Pizzana. Still, if I'm ever craving pizza, I'd rather visit the hundreds of other pizza parlors in the Houston area, since I didn't notice much difference in quality. Pricing is steep, too (granted, it's in River Oaks), so I don't have much incentive to return, either. read more

Pizzana - Houston - DIAVOLA PIZZA - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

indoor decoration is beautiful always such a chill vibe. I've never had a rude waiter or waitress and the Margarita Pizza is to die for.

This was truly the first and likely the only ever time I have been so happy to have ordered in. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe and the Focaccia bread from Uber Eats and it was fifteen minutes until closing. I felt bad but I really did want to try this and I figured if they could not fulfill the order they would reject it but they accepted it and let me tell you: this felt like it was made in my own kitchen because it was so hot when it got to me, it was so perfectly placed into the bag nothing had shifted or spilled -- the pasta was perfectly in order like it was in a magazine. The bread was HOT and it had steam when I cut it open. This was not the end of the shift "hurry up and get it out the door" order, which I would have understood given the time I ordered it even, but it was beyond that. This was phenomenal, so please, whoever worked the shift or owns Pizzana; know you're doing a really great job and thank you so much! read more

We had our experience as take out and we were pretty happy with it. They don't really have an area to wait but luckily they weren't busy when I went so it wasn't a big deal. The pizza was delicious though, loved the parmigiano creama on top. The Panna Cotta was also wonderfully creamy and delicious. We enjoyed the caramel pretzel pieces but some were really big chunks so we crushed them a bit more. The main disappointment was the salad. While good it isn't worth $17 and I thought it would be more brussel sprout forward. Other than that we hope to try a pizza in person next time. read more

Slice, slice, baby! Pizzana is a solid spot for happy hour drinks and bites! Happy hour runs Monday - Friday from 3-6pm and includes 50% off beer, wine by the glass, and margaritas, 50% off margarita pizza and select bites for a reduced rate. They also have a few cocktails that their members can enjoy for just $5. The membership is completely free and also includes some other sweet perks like a free monthly pizza when you spend at least $25. Not bad, not bad! I don't indulge in pizza very often being dairy-free, but was THRILLED to see that Pizzana has two vegan options on their menu - vegan margherita and vegan funghi. You better believe I'm a big mushroom girl too, win, win! The pizza was tasty with even mushroom coverage and a soft crust. It was a little on the softer side such that you need to fold the piece in order to eat it. The flavor was good but I felt like it needed a little something more, some basil or thyme perhaps. I ended up adding some dried red pepper flakes which helped a little. For their drinks, the fresh watermelon margarita was the stand out. It's hand-shaken with fresh juice and garnished with a tajin. A perfect summer drink. Finally, it's worth noting that their tipping system is a little different. When I closed my tab, I honestly didn't pay much attention and automatically selected the default 20% tip button and had the receipt texted to my phone. After the fact, I took a look at the receipt and noticed that the tip was calculated from the total before happy hour and member promotions were applied. Instead of being about $10 (for a 20% tip), it calculated the tip to be around $20. While this isn't the end of the world as the waitress who helped me was very nice and provided great service, this calculation is a little weird. Overall, a good find for happy hour! I'm now a member and will be back for sure. read more

The food and wine were excellent and the ambiance is very sultry here. I enjoyed a Cacio E Pepperoni which is one of their recommendations and a 9oz glass of Cabernet vino (pictured) they do serve the wine in a normal glass FYI as they do in the photo for those that prefer theirs in a wine glass this may not be the place for you However, I did not ask the staff if they have actual wine glasses for serving. So wouldn't hurt to ask. I've also provided pictures of their menu. The staff was very welcoming and accommodated me when I decided to move my table from the bar to outside seating because it was such a lovely evening I wanted to enjoy it! They do have nice patio seating read more

Had Pizzana back when I lived in LA, was very solid. Houston's is just as good! I would call it a top 3 Neapolitan -style pizza spot, alongside Pizzaro and Bollo Wood Fired. Very nice inside, strong blue colors with a little yellow. Staff are friendly. Seeing the palm trees alongside West Gray from the window even makes it feel like I'm back in LA. They have a good variety of pizza. You GOTTA order the margherita, it's the classic and by which I use to compare spots; it was on point! 5/5 My gf ordered the Diavola, which even though it has spicy salami, wasn't quite spicy enough; overall the pizza was very sweet, given the honey and onions. 3/5. It's a little pricey compared to other spots given the location, the pizza's are around 13-14 inches (estimate), so it's right at the personal-size. I would recommend a 1:1 or 3:2 person-pizza ratio. Why did I knock out a star? Partly since they don't use a traditional oven (pizzas take a little longer than usual), but more importantly, the pizzas got 'stale' fairly quickly, so my last 1/3 of my pizza got really sad; cheese had solidified, and lost some of the chewiness of the wheat. The room temperature was fine, but honestly I've never experienced something like this before. Still on my quest for the #1 Neapolitan pizza spot in Houston, but Pizzana is a super welcome addition to the scene. Buon appetito! read more

This place has been a spot my wife craves, so we have been here a lot recently. First, they have a killer happy hour! They also take inKind, which is a great way to get rewards (message me for a referral code and we can both get inKind money!). We always get the artichoke, Caesar salad, and a pizza. We have sampled their pasta (tasty, but not huge portion) and just tried the focaccia the other day (loved it). It still is funny that this used to be one of the three Starbucks on the one corner that comedian Lewis Black called the End of the Universe. read more

Pizzana - Houston - MARGHERITA PIZZA - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Pizzana is a fairly new pizza place for the Houston area. It opened a little more than a year ago and we were excited to try this California based pizza place for their happy hour. Their happy hour menu is served from 3-6 PM Monday - Friday and offers 50% off beer and wine by the glass and other specialty priced pizza and food. Ambiance: the inside of the restaurant is very clean and modern and the tall glass windows let a lot of natural light in during happy hour. The bar area has seats for guests and TVs which were playing some sports channels. Service: service was very good here. We got to Pizzana at 5 PM and there were 4 other tables seated. Our server was attentive and quick with our order. Food and Drink: we ordered a glass of wine and a Peroni beer to take advantage of happy hour pricing. Their wine by the glass is pretty good and at 50% off it's a steal. We were able to order multiple rounds of drinks and ordered more wine but the glass and a margarita. They have a twist on the standard margarita and it is described as a Mediterranean margarita. The margarita was good and had a little different flavor than a Mexican margarita. We ordered the caprese di bufala as an appetizer to start ( not on the happy hour menu). It was tasty and vibrant and you could tell the tomato and mozzarella di bufala were fresh. We ordered two pizzas which were on the happy hour menu. We ordered the pepperoni pizza ($15 at happy hour) and the margherita pizza ($9.50 at happy hour). Both pizzas came out hot from the oven and the crisp on the crust was nice. The pepperonis on the pizza were little cups that curled up due to the cooking and that made for a delicious pepperoni pizza. The margherita pizza was also delicious and the basil on the pizza was also very fresh. If you like thinner crust pizza, this is a great place to try. Parking: it is mostly paid parking in the area Pizzana is located. There are signs with QR codes that you can use to pay. We paid $3 for 2 hours of parking so nothing crazy. Just remember to pay for parking of you do park in one of the river oaks lots near the restaurant. I have seen people get tickets around there. Overall Pizzana was a great experience for happy hour and I would recommend trying this place out for their pizzas. We want to come back and try the short rib pizza which we heard was amazing. I would put Pizzana up on the list of good pizza places in Houston. It can be a little pricier if you don't go for happy hour so keep that in mind. But give this place a try and see where it ranks on your Houston pizza list. read more

This place makes some awesome pizzas, pastas and desserts. I picked up a Cheese Pizza last night. Very fresh, very delicious, very good quality, nicely charred crust, good cheese ratio with taste to go with it and a very good tomato based sauce in one pizza. The pizza was juicy and seasoned without being too greasy. It had that flimsy, soggy feel in each slice, but some crispiness at the same time too. Very friendly and efficient service. Very few places make a simple pizzeria pizza down here and this place is thankfully one that can. The Bolognese and Vodka Pastas are very delicious entrees here as well from my previous takeout experiences with them. read more

During our visit, we tried the Cacio e Pepe pizza which had large dollops of parmigiano crema on each slice which made for creamy bites. The Funghi pizza was a sleeper, it was so good! Much of seasonal mushrooms and caramelized onions. Top notch. Lastly, I took the Vodka pizza home because I was stuffed. The smoked coppa along with the Calabrian chile were amazing pairings on this pie. Overall super solid. Only knock is pricing. Kinda up there, +$20 pies and you need to pay for parking. Other than that, solid spot. read more

Huge disappointment. Ordered the Corbarina and Carnivoro pizzas. Was not a fan of either because the entire thin crusts on BOTH were sooooo SOGGY. Whenever I picked up a slice it was just a sad droopy wet mess that was hanging on for dear life. Also, the cheese had no pull. The crust on a pizza is one of the huge deal breakers for me unfortunately, even if they claim to use fancy ingredients imported from Italy. For the price of these medium sized pizzas I was hoping for a bit more quality on one of the basic foundations that make a good pizza. read more

For all my thin crust pizza lovers this place is absolutely delish. Decadent and gourmet, the ingredients and the combinations are all expertly crafted. This is the perfect date spot for good food with good vibes. In the heart of Montrose, the restaurant is beautiful inside, the food being amazing is just a nice bonus. The Diavolo is SO good we had to get two of them. 6 slices for $20+ a pizza is definitely worth it when it tastes this good. Their pasta is all made from scratch and you can taste the time and effort put into the noodles and sauce! I would skip the broccolini and get another pizza Free parking in the garage across the street! read more

I've been seeing this place all over TikTok/Instagram and so I finally had the chance to try it out. My friend & I came on a Saturday night and though it was a bit busy, we were able to get seated pretty quickly. The vibes inside were so cute. We ordered the limoncello martini, which was really good. Then for our meal, we ordered the Caprese di Bufula and the Cacio E Pepe pizza (with a side of chicken, which they do not put onto the pizza but will bring it as a side). Omg, all of it was so good. I'm obsessed with that pizza. Lastly, we ordered the tiramisu and for me personally, it was perfectly balanced with sweet & bitter. I'll definitely be back to try more. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for happy hour! I got an aperol spritz but I guess you get what you pay for it was $5 and it was horrible we had to send it back. The pepperoni pizza was SO DELICIOUS. it was plenty of pepperoni on there. They did not skimp out on it. The crust was thin and baked to perfection. Literally the best pizza I've had in months. The happy hour menu is pretty limited to a couple of items which kind is sucks but at least the pepperoni pizza is on there. They have different menu items for regular price which I would like to come back to try. The service was pretty good. We came at a non busy time and day Monday at 4:30pm hour. Ambiance is pretty causal no need to dress up. Either way great pizza and great service. read more

Perfect spot to unwind with a drink after a long day. It's an open bar with a solid menu, and the server was attentive and kind.

Came here for a Monday lunch. Resy showed they were booked til 1:30pm, but when I called, they said that there were plenty of tables available. There is a free garage across the street or lot parking for $2.50 per 2 hours. We tried the fried cauliflower and meatball apps. They were both excellent. The cauliflower was perfectly crispy and they were generous with the sauce. There were 3 meatballs in a pond of marinara sauce and 3 well-toasted slices of bread. We were filling up before the pizza even arrived. We opted for the cacio e pepe, which was fantastic. I really liked the crust and toppings. Service is friendly and competent. The vibe is neat and clean and on the more casual side for West Grey. read more

Very upscale pizza place. Might have to call it a pizza parlor or something fancy - what was not as refined was the service. It took a while for us to get water and our orders in but once I spoke to the front of house, things got better. Better but still off as our food came in an odd order with the drinks coming last. That being said Cacio e Pepe pepperoni was great, the Pignatiello was mind blowing, the cauliflower was crunchy and fun, and the Tricolore would have been a refreshing way to start the meal if it had come out first. read more

Went on a Friday evening for happy hour and had a great time. We got a margarita pizza (which are half off during happy hour), and the diavola to share. The margarita was standard and exactly what you would expect for a margarita pizza. I enjoyed the thin crust and the fact that it was discounted made it taste even better. (5.5/10) The diavola was delicious. The savory and crispy slices of spicy salami with the sweetness of the honey was a divine bite. I think the charred shallot also added a hint of sweet smokiness to the pizza and made it a pie I would order again. (7.5/10) The ambiance was a bit fancier than a typical pizza spot and the parking is all metered parking around the area and lot, but it is relatively cheap so worth it if you are in the area and craving some pizza. read more

I came here for a date night and was really excited to try this pizza place that has been on my radar for a while. Pizzana is located in the River Oaks area and showcases a very sleek and modern interior seating area. Pizzana is from LA and has won several food awards, most notable being the Michelin bib gourmand. We started the night off with a Polazzo paloma and an ostia old fashion. For the pizzas, we enjoyed a cacio e pepperoni and the Margherita pizza. - Cacio e pepperoni: honestly, this pizza was a bit salty and the pepperoni overpowered the parmigiano crema. I think getting the regular cacio e pepe is the way to go. - Margherita- I really enjoyed this pizza. The crusts were light and airy and the ingredients they used were very fresh and bright. This is a pizza that I would order again. The service here was really nice. We were taken care of well throughout our dining experience. I also really appreciated how they use elevated pizza stands so that your pizza doesn't take up a ton of space on your table. Honestly, it is hard for me to say that pizzana truly stands out against other pizza shops, especially with the competitive scene in Houston, but it is definitely worth a try and makes for a great date night! read more

Came here for restaurant week. Was hoping to celebrate a recent transplanted friends birthday. Asked the server to please put a candle on the dessert for me. Ordered the Margherita pizza with ceasar salad. The pizza crust was way too flimsy and collapsed. It took me over 7 mins to get the attention of a passing server as ours was not paying attention or looking over to our area. Once we flagged the passing employee, she fetched our server and we were able to order dessert. Once dessert came(the lemon cake) there was no candle on the dessert. Also, the cake tasted old. Definitely pass on the limone cake. Would not go here again. Disappointed as I've been really looking forward to this place. read more
