It's been a while but love this location. Like that they have TVs with sports on and the food is decent.

Loved the vibe! A cool place and apparently a staple for many Houston families. It was my first time but the pizza is great and the margarita were STRONG in the best way!!! The vibe is laid back and relaxed. The staff is chill and helpful. I will say these fried mushrooms need work. The batter wasn't seasoned at all. But the coating but so perfectly crispy they I believe they would be good with some seasoning! read more

The pizza here is worth the wait. There is a constant flow of people coming here to dine. The wait staff is friendly and on top of refills and walking by to check in. Be prepared that you might have a wait for your pizza but it's worth it! The next time we're in Houston, we are coming back. read more

My bf and I went here when visiting from out of town and the place was packed when we arrived. Originally, we were quoted about a 40 minute wait, but luckily a table opened up and we were seated within ten minutes. Our waitress greeted us promptly and answered any questions that we had about the menu items. While the restaurant was very busy, it was surprisingly not that loud, which I appreciated and my bf and I were able to hold a conversation without having to yell at one another. This is definitely a family-friendly restaurant but they do have a bar area too which is nice if you wanted a possible older atmosphere. I had two margaritas which were both good and the fried pickles were very good for an appetizer. To me the pizza hit the spot. When we order meat lover's pizza, I like it with a lot of meat and this definitely had that. Our waitress checked on us often, even though the restaurant was busy and I definitely appreciated the good service. I enjoyed our meal and service here and would definitely go back if I was in town. read more

This place is a total trip down memory lane! The food tastes exactly like old-school Pizza Hut I'd bet money they have the original recipes. The only thing missing was the buffet and salad bar. It's an incredibly family-friendly spot with top-notch service; despite a busy Saturday night, our waitress didn't miss a beat. While it might not be the "best" pizza in the world, it is a must visit if you're craving that nostalgic Pizza Hut flavor. We had drinks, fried pickles, and a large meat lovers pizza for under $50. I'll definitely be back to try the wings next time they looked amazing, and the waiter said it's one of the top sellers. I will say the place is a bit old feeling, but it was clean and well ran, props the the staff and great food. read more

Whack! Came today, 8-13-25, in for Wednesday pizza special, order a large pep with mushrooms, cheesy pizza sticks, one soda $30+ Waitress failed to tell me pizza special is voided if you order more than one topping, so because I got mushrooms on it, I pay and extra $10 or so. Shame on the waitress "of yeah that's only for one topping." Gee, that would be nice to know when ordering. Ridiculous read more

A few days ago, I drove by Spanky's on my way to a litter clean-up, and it stuck in my mind. So when someone suggested meeting for lunch on the East End, I figured it was the perfect chance to give it a try. I went for their $9 lunch special and chose a pizza topped with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon. The portion was a great size--not too big but definitely satisfying. It reminded me a bit of the frozen pizzas I used to eat as a kid in terms of size, but the quality and taste were on another level. The toppings were flavorful, and the crust had just the right crunch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure my water glass stayed full, which I really appreciated. If you're in the East End looking for a casual lunch spot with a great deal and friendly service, Spanky's is worth a visit! read more

Let me start by saying this is my favorite Pizza place in Houston and it's not even close! Pizza always comes out delivious and piping hot. Not too many places do a deep dish pizza well and Spanky's hits the nail on the head. Things can get a little tricky with the service in particular the seating hostesses. There has been more than once I have waited while being completely forgotten in the queue for seating. I have had good experiences with the servers once seated. Also they could turn the temp up just a lil' bit its usually an ice box in there so bring a sweater along. read more

Not quite sure how to review this experience because it was a mix of bad and good. Our waitress was rude throughout the visit, which was frustrating since I was dining with my nieces. However, after talking to, the manager, he handled the situation well and made an effort to correct things. KB also stepped in and completely changed the vibe for the better. Really appreciated the professionalism from them. read more

Spanky's pizza has become my spot for pizza, I have gone 3 times now since hearing about them and every time the food has been on point. ( pizza & wings) The service is very attentive and patient and I just love how upbeat the environment has been each time. Keep up the good pizza work, I'll be back! read more

We came to eat as a family of 3 (1 child who is 16 months) on a Monday night at 6PM. We were greeted and taken to a table, only to be told they didn't have highchairs. Unfortunately, we cannot have him on a booster and as any parent knows, holding a toddler during dinner is not enjoyable. We decided to leave and dine elsewhere and as I looked around, it wasn't that crowded and I only saw perhaps 3-4 tables. Very disappointing to see that a family restaurant does not have more high chairs. We love to either order on Monday or Wednesday or dine there for family night. For someone who has gone to spankys since I was a kid at their old location in that parking, it was disappointing and frustrating to leave to find somewhere else to eat. read more

I'd seen Spanky's when driving down the highway, but it was after a fundraiser went horribly wrong with a volunteer group I helped out with that we actually went over there to try it. The guys who were still students at UH were shocked that I'd never been there because of how much of an institution it is to them. Like a lot of dine in places, they have a variety of sizes, pizza depths, and toppings that you can order. I'm a pretty simple guy who prefers just pepperoni, but I went with what they wanted, which included a variation of a Supreme pizza and a meat lovers. Both were fairly large, New York style, and filled us up pretty quickly. Service is always a bit weird at a pizza parlor, since the Parmesan and red pepper are already on the table and they're basically just refilling drinks, but the service was as good as I've had at any other pizza restaurant. Was it the best pizza I've ever had? Obviously not. Was it a solid pizza at a great price point from a place that definitely deserves its status as a local institution? Definitely. read more

First time loved it. Crust is perfect. Order the Original Thin crust. We ordered Toscano with white sauce x Super Duper both small and it's still a lot read more

A Houston marquee. Pizza is great and I've been eating here since the 70's. Tricky location but the food makes it worth the navigation.

Horrible. No taste, soggy food, under cooked dough. Definitely don't recommend, nor have any want to try this place again. 1 star is generous read more

Food is great but the customer service can definitely be coached. Whoever the lady at the front counter today was very discourtesy and seemed like she had an issue listening to my request. When I explained how I was handled yesterday she caught an attitude. She shouldn't be working on the phones if she doesn't want to provide great customer service. It almost felt like I was a bother and hassle to deal with all cause I asked for extra cheese since their system doesn't allow on the app to add extra cheese. read more

A super fun (and busy) place for sports games!! The pizza here is so tasty and such a good pride. My aunts ordered the Alfredo and loved it. The breadsticks that come with it look so good, too! Clean restaurant, friendly staff, and plenty of parking in their lot. I got the pepperoni passion personal size pizza (thin crust only available when you get personal size). They do really load it with pepperoni!! Soooo good. read more

Worst pizza (super duper) i ever had, not much for the price, greasy, soggy and tasteless !!!

We ate lunch before the UH game, and enjoyed the large menu selections and variety. I recommend the buffalo chicken entree salad! It has a lot of chicken on it and a really delicious sauce. My only issue with the establishment is we are in the South and they only offer Pepsi products !! Everywhere in Houston should offer Coca Cola! read more

I don't have any complaints about this visit. The pizza was good. The deep dish crust was crispy, like sourdough bread. The wings were cooked perfectly. Battered, then fried until Crispy and drenched in buffalo wing sauce. The kids enjoyed themselves and loved the food. The restaurant itself was nice. Lots of tvs and clean. Service was good, except the hostess looked like she was disgusted when she had to seat people. I even detected a grimace a couple of times. Can't imagine that job being ultra difficult. I highly recommend visit to Spanky's. read more

I've been wanting to try Spanky's for a while now, so today was the day. The Pasadena site was pretty cool. ordered a medium 2 topping pizza with standard thin crust to go. It came out pretty fast, but quite pricey for a pizza that size and only 2 toppings. Got it home and it was VERY underwhelming to say the least. worst crust ever! Probably made with no semolina and only all purpose flour. No flavor and kind of fell apart. Very little sauce and skimpy on the cheese. The chicken and meatballs were over cooked. I will not be back, as first impressions were a complete deal breaker. read more

Spanky's has garnered a special place in my heart. I have only had their pizza as take-out as of now, but it has always been absolutely fresh and delicious every time! Today I got their pizza lunch special (comes as thin crust with 3 toppings) and my goodness, what a nice treat in the middle of the work day! Totally made my day. I initially came to know Spanky's from word of mouth as to how fantastic their pizza is. They definitely deserve all of the hype! Not only is their pizza delicious, but they are very rooted in serving the community around them as well. They were quick to donate pizza to an organization that I was seeking to assist. They were so incredibly kind, and helpful. Everybody I have encountered there has always been top notch with their customer service. I truly can't say enough about how great my Spanky's interactions have been thus far. My goal is to get the full dine-in experience now! Even though I've only been in to grab to-go orders, I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. Great pizza, great customer service, and solid dedication to their community, Spanky's definitely delivers it all. read more

I will always ride by this place and say that I will visit and never did. I finally made it and it was so good. The pizza was great. I also had a salad which was good. The chicken tenders are fire.

Amazing place. We always make the trek from Northwest Houston suburbs to eat at this special gem. The margaritas are great and the meatball pizza hits the spot. The food is hot but the prices are not. Give it a try! read more

The service was amazing, my waiter was super friendly and honestly came to the table the perfect number of times, not too much and not too little. The only thing is I ordered a pizza to go for my family which was the new hot honey pepperoni flavor (if i'm remembering the name correctly) and I unfortunately saw a little friend (tiny baby cockroach) in there who wanted my pizza too. I've been to this location a couple other times and never had any issues I just wanted to bring this up just so the staff is aware. I also didn't even open up the box until I had gotten home so I was a little frightened. I know things can happen as to why that was in my order, but when I got home, I opened the box and immediately saw it in there it just caught me off guard. From the table I was sitting at in the restaurant I can see all the pizza boxes stacked up on top of one another. I just ask if maybe staff can refrain from setting up too many boxes as for cockroaches are attracted to the cardboard due to the moisture and shelter it creates for them since it is a dark box in the kitchen where the food is being cooked so it's always steaming in there from the food locking in that moisture. read more

They need to train the lady bar tender to multitask. I patronized this location twice in the past 2 weeks and felt ignored both times by the same lady at the bar. I felt the need to express this concern to the manager on duty Friday night and felt as though she didn't take it serious. I don't patronize them too often and thought about using them for a business lunch next month BUT now that won't happen - for sure!! $$$$. you never know who's patronizing You.. read more

My best friend from college owns this restaurant!! To say it is delicious is an understatement!!! It has been a locally owned restaurant for decades!!! Her father owned it and then passed it down to her and her sister!! Some of their employees have been here since the beginning!!! This is the original location!! The new one is even swankier!!! They also have a barbecue restaurant named Gabby's, but let's focus on this one!!!! First off, the cheese sticks!! Just get them!!! Great way to start your meal!!! The marinara sauce is to die for!!!! The garlic and basil!!! So much flavor!! Don't forget to ask for a side of ranch!!! My daughter ate 5!!! I have only ever had one of their pizzas and there's a reason for that! It's absolutely incredible!!!! The personal margarita pizza. No questions. Just get it!!!! Pesto instead of sauce!! Topped with tons of cheese and tomato slices!! I cant even!!! I've never had anything like it!!!!!! The atmosphere in here is amazing!!
