    Margherita (Med) Chicken Alfredo (Med) Starburst (small) Gorgonzola Pesto (small)
    Hemi K.

    Star pizza was great!! They have happy hour from 3-6 which seems great! I love how they do half toppings so you can try different flavors. I think we may have over ordered for three girls but it was great. We definitely carb loaded and felt very full afterwards, but I loved trying the different flavors and taking the leftovers home. Would definitely recommend Margherita and the chicken alfredo. The others were great too but these were the highlight. I liked the new york crust paired with the different toppings. Would definitely go again for a pizza trip :)

    12-2-2025 Had starburst personal pizza while sister ordered spinach pizza was delicious cooked to expectations very colorful and very tasty. Prices for happy hour was great. Atmosphere was serene with very few people, music excellent. Best tasting pizza in Houston Heights area. Loyal customer Mary L.

    I'd realistically give Star Pizza in the Heights a 3.5 if Yelp allowed it. The pizza is good, but for the area it's definitely not the best. The salads are great though, especially if you're trying to feel a little better about indulging in pizza. The servers are friendly and the parking at this location is amazing !!! I never feel like I'm fighting for a spot. Portions are big and the lunch special is the perfect size. The fried potatoes are actually pretty good, though it's hard to mess up potatoes. The pasta salad was just okay and definitely needed a little zing, but for the price it wasn't bad. Overall, I'd recommend coming here for a hearty meal and some good gossip time.

    My son commented that the pizza was heavy when when we picked it up for takeout. His wife selected a pizza with garlic and spinach toppings. He added pepperoni. I've never seen so much green on a pizza... the must have been a pound of spinach! The slices could not be lifted without the center collapsing. The flavor combination good.

    Half Benz, half Verde, all delicious

    That this place has only 3.5 stars is insane- their pizza is amazing. This is coming from a person who is pretty meh on pizza, but Star? Hell yeah, brother. Their Benz & Verde pizzas on Chicago-style wheat crust are my favorites. Grab a side (or pint) of ranch; they make it fresh, you won't be sorry. They also have solid salads and apps.

    We had a big party of 20 to pregame before a show at Rockefeller on Saturday. The service was great, but the pizza was terrible. My husband and I've eaten at the original Star Pizza's Norfolk location and it's so much better. I ordered the personal Ben's pizza. It's a perfect personal size if you're not sharing. I was able to finish my pizza to carb up with my beers. The pizza was dry and over baked that the crust was burnt on the bottom. It lacked tomato sauce and the crust was just too hard. I don't think we'll be back to this location.

    The Chicago style pizza is the way to go. So very good!!!! And the sliced Italian sausage. Spectacular! Lovely service. The NY Style pie wasn't it at all. Sorta like better than average dominos.

    My flexitarian friend enjoyed the buffet which is tries quite recent reasonably and assured me that all the food was fresh and flavorful there they were kind enough to make a vegan pizza for me. They have vegan cheese and vegan pepperoni service was snappy. They offered craft beer because it goes great with pizza and if you're in need they have cheesecake which friend tell me from experience is quite good. A huge parking lot which is free. I went to Washington location but advance Montrose location at two is very good.

    We've been to Star Pizza many times over the years but never this location and it did not disappoint. We started our meal by sharing some Caprese salad which was crisp, fresh, and delicious. We also ordered a large Starburst pizza with the expectation that we would take some leftovers home. We ordered deep dish but it isn't just thick dough like some places. Just delicious crust-more of a medium thickness but it comes up the edges of the deep dish. Very flavorful crust and pizza-I wish they'd open a location in Cypress so we could have it more often!

    Happy hour.

    We're at Washington location. Hazard. Faithfully get goat cheese and Starburst pizza. We love Star Pizza. Service excellent. Restaurant nice.

    Left Starburst, Right Hanks

    Popped in for some pizza. Couldn't decide on what to get but the very friendly server helped me decide between 2 pizzas. We did half and half. LOL I didn't even think of asking that. I did half Starburst and half Hanks. Very filling! I always order a large so I can take home about half as left overs. I didn't even kill half of it because it filled me up! So maybe 2 1/2 meals out of a large pizza (for 1 person). I like that! There is a good variety of pizzas to choose from. Salads as well. I went with a small Greek salad with the House Italian. Very good! There were other options like sandwiches and pasta as well. Maybe next time. My server, Marcus S, was very attentive, very nice, and you just knew that he knew what he was doing. That's starting to be a rare thing at some restaurants these days. This pizza joint has a pizza joint feel to it. Great for a group, the family, and probably even a company event. Sports team dinner would be smart to come here as well. Decent size parking lot as well.

    I did pick-up so I cannot comment on service except that I was greeted when I walked in and the person who checked me out was friendly. I got the pepperoni deep dish pizza and it was pretty good. I paid for extra cheese and it seemed Iike a normal amount of cheese (not extra) and the few pepperoni got lost in all of the sauce, meaning there wasn't enough of them even though it's a deluxe pepperoni pizza. But in all it was tasty and I'd order it again with more pepperoni.

    We ordered a pepperoni pizza from Star and got it as take out. The pizza did not take too long to make and the people at the cash register were friendly. The best way to describe the pizza is a perfect feel good pizza. It is a simple yet great option and we hope to try to more of their other pizzas in the future.

    Does this location still have the lunch buffet?

    Nope!

    Is the lunch buffet still available?

    It was never thought it was good, really. It looked to me like something put,together so they could say they had a buffet. Very limited, the salad was minimal, just a few pizzas.… 

    Do they have a buffet and if so how much before tax?

    The buffet is back ! ONLY ON TUESDAY'S From 11-2 !! Just the pizza and a drink for 13.95 or you can add a dinner or ceasar salad for $2

    Easily some of the best pizza I've ever had…read more Friendly staff upon walking in. We were seen once the line moved through to us. We had the order put in ahead of time and it was ready on time. 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.

The fungi is everything I would have hoped for as someone obsessed with fresh mushrooms, truffle, and garlic. The dry rub wings are also seasoned extremely well. The fresh dill ranch dipping sauce is fantastic. Finally, the staff there is awesome and it's great to watch Masters at their craft. And they also have weekly rotations of custom pizzas To keep things fresh, no pun intended. I will definitely be back many times. Next time I'll try one of the desserts. They looked very unique.

They serve pizzas by the slice, which is a nice option not all pizza places offer! Most of the times I've had Luigi's was in fact at Axelrad's and the pizza always comes out timely and fresh. While Axelrad does not allow pizza boxes, Luigi's will serve your pizza on a hot plate if you'll be enjoying it at Axelrad. Our most recent visit was late-night following an event and Luigi's was the only pizza joint still open. We ordered a 16" pizza, half Supreme and half The Meats (meat lover's). Both sides were delicious - the Supreme was loaded to where the slices were floppy and The Meats lived up to its name. I like how they include hamburger (ground) beef on The Meats to make it a 4-meat pizza in addition to pepperoni, sausage, and Canadian bacon. Crust is on the thinner side and has a good chew texture to it. Adrian behind the counter helped us on our last visit - he was friendly and quick to bring out the pizza. After placing the order via phone, he quoted us 20 minutes, and the pizza was indeed ready within that timeframe. There is not much atmosphere here, as it's more of a grab-and-go type of place. They do serve gelato but on my last visit, the gelato machine was broken but they had a note stating that they still have gelato in the back freezer. Luigi's is always a solid option for pizza in Houston. Don't sleep on this place especially if you find yourself at Axelrad and get the munchies!
