One of the most amazing pizza places in Houston. Yes, it's small and niche but quality and care is unrivaled. Love the dough. The coffee cowboy is stellar. High quality meat. 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. read more

Read all the great reviews about Tailspin Pizza so I just had to see what this was all about. Order two pizzas on line for pickup on a Friday evening; when I saw people sitting outside eating a few tables and others standing around waiting. From the crowd at this very small establishment I was impressed and excited to try out choices of Pepper Vodka and Pepperoni. The Pepperoni was traditional but a limited about of pepperoni as you can see in the photograph, noting about of the ordinary. The Peppered Vodka sauce was excellent, but again limited sausage. The crust was probably the best part of the pizzas. Talespin is what I'd consider an "average" pizzeria when comparing to the "non-chain" establishments around town. Still not as good as you'd get at a proper Italian restaurant, but better than Domino's or Papa John's. read more

Amazing pizza. It is a little pricey, but honestly well worth it. We were hungry on the way home and ended up destroying the whole pizza together. The bread was soft, hot, and fresh, and the toppings were evenly distributed across every slice. The steak and truffle toppings were both amazing. You can tell the place is popular too, with a constant crowd coming in the whole time. read more

Talespin Pizza - Coffee Cowboy - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Talespin pizza brought back their pizza collab special with shawnthefoodsheep for a limited time and I had to jump on it before it ended. My friend and I came here and ordered it and waited about 20-30 mins for our pizza. They gave us free ice cold water bottles while we waited which was nice. The "One of the Herd" is a chicken tikka masala pizza which includes tandoori chicken, fior de latte, burnt red onion jam, cilantro chutney, and we added a chili bomb which was recommended by them. The pizza is pretty light and more on the flimsy side. The crust was incredible in a fluffy and easy to chew sense. The tikka masala sauce was bold and the chili bomb was def the move. This is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. They have a lot of interesting pizzas on their menu that I would like to try in the future as well read more

Talespin Pizza - One of the herd - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

So worth it! I've been obsessed with pizza lately and started trying different spots so I finally stopped in for a pick up on a weekday. I got the Rita with the smoked chicken. My pizza was ready on time and the service was great although our interaction was brief. It's a thin crust pizza and the edges were just perfect out of the oven. The chimichurri worked perfectly with the smokiness of the chicken. The cheese was so fresh and the sauce flavorful. Next time I'll order it well done because the toppings made it a bit soggy in the middle the next day. I can't wait to try more on the menu! The space is small and has patio seating. I would consider it more for takeout or a quick lunch. read more

Talespin Pizza - Rita with added smoked chicken - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Top tier pizza! The dough has that perfect chew while also maintaining a good crunch. It was my first time trying this place and I will be coming back to check out their other pizzas. I came in when the chicken tikka pizza was available and although it wasn't my favorite out of the three I got it was a cool combination of flavors. My favorite was definitely the coffee cowboy. Steak + pizza is a win in my book. I do wish the steak slices were spread out a bit more so each bite could have some steak. My only criticism with the place was that the slices weren't consistent. Some were super small while others were really big and it made sharing the slices a little difficult. Coffee cowboy: 9/10 Truffle my funguy: 9/10 super rich and a great vegetarian option One with the herd: 7/10 good flavors but needed some more cheese or sauce read more

It took me many a months to take a spin around the Tailspin block. I heard great things so boy was I surprised to find them located across the highway from one of my favorite 'za slingers Pizaro's! That's bold! I love Neapolitan pizza pies but this was my first time experiencing "NeoTexan" pizza. That being said, I ordered the One for the Herd with Unami chili bomb, the Pig & Chicken (for my partner), and an order of roasted carrots, leaving my fate in the trusted hands of chef brothers Devan & Eddie. Their menu packed with ingredients like smoked tomato, bone marrow bolognese, sherry and thyme pan roasted mushrooms, and coffee crusted steak, I grabbed my pies from the beautifully decorated pocket pizza window expecting big bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and precise execution. My husband would say he received all three. I would say the same regarding the carrots. The pie I chose wasn't my favorite rendition of the translated dish. This is perhaps because I've experienced other versions with bouncier crusts to support the bold favor profile, and pockets of fresh vegetables and acidity that do the same. Nevertheless, I can certainly say Talespin crafts a quality pie. I'm interested in trying their other offerings, and am incredibly excited to add a new style of pie to the intimate Houston pizza scene! read more

Finally got to try this place out. Pretty pricy pizzas. I use cheese pizzas as my baseline. And the cheese was great. All the pizza had nice chewy crust and very thin crust. All the other pizzas we got were very flavorful but I think less is more for pizza. Each slice is extremely filling. We got the carrot (good mix of flavor but didn't taste a lot of pecan), bone marrow (simply too heavy for me, I think if it had broccoli time something it'd be great, instead I was adding salad to each slice), crispy chicken (nothing was crispy on this pizza, flavor is good but no crispy chicken like described). We got all our pizzas well done and the crust was still floppy and a bit soggy. The carrot side and Caesar salad also like flavor bombs. Overall it's a great Neapolitan pizza spot. read more

This was my third time trying Talespin Pizza, and I've now established based on 3 tries: this place is legit. Everything on the menu sounds delicious. I've had the bone marrow bolognese pizza - amazing. Second time was build your own pizza (BYOP) with lots of veggies - also spectacular. Third time around, we heard about Shawn the Food Sheep's collab creation - the One for the Herd - which is basically a tikka masala pizza - and again, so good. If you're into creative pizza inventions (they call themselves a neotexan sourdough pizza place), Talespin is definitely worth a try, and then another, and another. Overview of experience: the restaurant is located off I-10 near Kirkwood on the feeder on the north side of the freeway. Parking can be tight but the spaces turnover quickly as they get a lot of to-go business. You walk in, ordering counter is 5 feet from the door, stand in line (not for long) and they take your order. You pay, tip, and they give you a buzzer. 15 minutes later - voila! The space is quite small. There are 4 seats inside and a few tables outside. It's Houston so it's either 40 degrees outside in the winter or 90 degrees in the summer. Just kidding - there are plenty of good months you can enjoy your pizzas outside. The place is clean but definitely not good to large parties if you plan to dine in. Pro tip: if nature calls, you can ask to access the restroom and they'll let you use it. I'm hoping this place does really well and stays in business for a very long time! read more

Shout out to shawnthefoodsheep on IG for recommending this place! Talespin pizza was some of my favorite pizza I've had in Houston! What they call "NeoTexan" sourdough pizza, I call delicious haha. We came on a Fri night for dinner and this place was BUSY, but for great reason. My only small complaint was that I didn't realize how small this place was before coming here. There is literally only 4 counter seats inside at the window then enough space to form a small line to order/pickup. Small space aside, this pizza was creative and very well made. We tried their B2P2, bone marrow bolognese, and their classic pepperoni. All 3 pizzas were so good it was hard to pick our favorite! I actually want to come back ASAP because so many of the pizzas on the menu sounded too good not to try, specially the coffee cowboy and chili crunch chicken. My only other tip would be to order your pizza well done if you're taking your pizza to go and have longer than a 15 min drive. Otherwise, dig in right away and you'll be pleased for sure, enjoy! read more

Neotexan Pizza?? I had to try it! I love when pizza has a paper thin crust and this was exactly that! The outercrust was also chewy and airy. I ordered an assortment of pizzas since everything on the menu sounded so unique! So, I had my eyes on the bone marrow bolognese pizza for the longest time, but whenever I wanted to order it, it was sold out! Same thing happened every time there was brisket offered as a topping, so it must be popular! The pizzas are so pretty. Not the absolute best I've ever had but compared to other pizza places in the area, this spot is not bad. I'm not sure how I felt about having buffalo sauce and bbq sauce on the same pizza (it was called the Buff or BBQ and we ordered it with buffalo sauce but bbq sauce was drizzled on top too??), or the ricotta being sweeter than normal, or was I tasting hot honey on everything??? I finally tried the bone marrow bolognese but actually it didn't turn out to be my favorite. The cup pepperonis are great! The pizzas aren't super salty like everywhere else. The truffle pizza turned out to be my favorite out of the assortment we ordered! Also, ask for the pizzas to be well done/extra crispy because I feel like the crust kind of flops normally. So out of everything we ordered, the truffle fun-guy (fungi), pepperoni, and cheeseburger ones were the best. read more

I highly recommend this spot for pizza. The customer service is excellent and so is the pizza. I appreciate them having halal options, and they confirmed they are very careful with cross contamination between halal vs. non-halal items. I got the Coffee Cowboy pizza, which consists of coffee-infused steak and a smoked onion sauce. IT WAS AMAZING. The steak on there was SO TENDER and the flavors just fused together so well. I only wish there was a little more steak on the pizza. The inside space is pretty tiny, with some bar seats, but the outside has tables and chairs, so keep that in mind when it's triple digits out. I really appreciate that they have paper towel on the tables because things can get really messy. I wish I tried this at the beginning of my trip instead of my last day, I probably would have ate here 2 more times! read more

Keeping with my five theme because quality and staff are consistent. I still believe their Caesar Salad is outstanding. Jalapeno Spinach Artichoke Dip left us a little disappointed; while good, we wish the Jalapeno shinned through more. Chili crunch pizza without pickles, surprisingly delicious. We wish the crust held a little better but overall great quality. read more

Back again this time for my daughters 18th birthday. Decided to take it back to the era of pizza and a movie like we use to when we were kids, just leveled up the pizza while watching black phone 2 Chicken pesto Pepperoni (minus ricotta- cause not everyone is down with ricotta smh) Cowboy coffee Caesar Salad Didn't get to eat it there had to get it to go and drive it back to sugarland so that's the only part that sucks because their pizza is good cold, Luke warm, even for breakfast the next day but having it fresh out of the oven is like no other. read more

Saw this place on the Houston Chronicle's 100 Best Places to Eat in Houston list, and it was a new name to me, so I had to correct that. A friend and I were getting together for a girls night, and it was perfect timing to try a new place. I'm so glad I looked up reviews before heading over. I read that the place was more for pick up orders and there wasn't much seating for dine in, so we switched to a girls night at mine while I ordered online and picked up. The process to order was super easy. Their website is easy to navigate and the descriptions for the pizza are detailed and helpful. They have some unique choices that I've never seen before like the carrot pizza with a pecan pesto sauce and candied pecans. Yes please. They also have a coffee crusted steak on a pizza. I didn't get that this time, but I'm so interested and have a feeling I'll be going through the entire menu bit by bit. We ordered the carrot and the Rita, which is a margherita pizza with the twist of chimichurri sauce. We also ordered the boneless wings with the chipotle herbs de Provence seasoning and the honey habanero seasoning. My friend wanted me to get extra really good ranch and chili crunch ranch. Picking up and parking was easy. The folks inside were so sweet. I did have to remind them about the extra sauces, but that's why you check your order before leaving. We loved all of the pizza and surprisingly I didn't have leftovers. The Rita was phenomenal and the carrot was something I have never tasted but can't wait to have more of. The sauces were good. I will say the really good ranch was kinda meh, just a bit tangier, but the chili crunch ranch was sooo good. I loved the honey habanero wings. My husband did find the chipotle seasoning a bit drying, and he couldn't get through those. I really can't wait to be back and try more, and my friend is now having a party soon and ordering from here. Till we meet again, Tale Spin! read more

Really good pizza near the spring branch area. Such unique and different pizza flavors we throughly enjoyed. We got the bone marrow bolognese, the big red, Chili Crunch Chicken, and the Rita. All were delicious and so unique. The spices and flavors were melting on my tongue. The service was 10/10. Accommodating and awesome. Small place on the inside but we still ate there as they offered paper plates and napkins. I would recommend if you're in the area. read more

Heard really good reviews from social media so decided to give them a try. Starting off parking is a little tricky as the area is small along with the building. Walking in there a couple seats to the right, menu is on the wall to the left, and order & pickup counter in the center. I ordered the Coffee Cowboy pizza and a full order of Dad's Bruschetta (Dad OG's). It took quite a while for the food to be ready, as it was a Friday, and was just blowing up on social media. So I recommend ordering online beforehand, I also noticed while waiting for my food to be ready, that the staff taking orders were bias towards certain customers but that could just be me. There are more tables and seating outside in front with napkins rolls available which I sat at when the food ready. The Coffee Cowboy pizza had coffee-crusted hereford flank steak, smoked onion bianco sauce, mozz, white cheddar, caramelized onion, smoked salt, and truffled arugula. But sadly wasn't to my liking along with the Dad's Bruschetta. Overall, food wasn't really to my liking, and recommend ordering ahead of time. read more

Not sure what Neo-texan pizza is, but it tastes delicious! I tried the normal pepperoni - fyi, if you don;t like ricotta, ricotta cheese is in there - I didn't taste it at first, not a fan of ricotta but this was a subtle ricotta. I also tried the bone marrow bolognese pizza. I was excited for this but this was too sweet for me. I think the onion was too sweet? I don't like sweet on my pizza. Great ingredients, but would pass on this for next time. The dough is amazingly soft - will continue to get the pepperoni and try new toppings if I want something different! read more

Devin & his bro own it , they have been open for about 17 months. They came here from Austin. Their pizza is amazing. They use high-end quality ingredients. It's a tiny place. You basically walk up and order your pizza called in and you leave. They've got about four tiny tables outside, kind of like sprinkles, cupcakes set up this Pizza is blowing away the competition you've got to try it out. read more

The famous 'Neo-Texan' pizza. Kudos for them for pushing the boundaries of what is pizza, and for actually being delicious at the same time (which some restaurants forget to do...) We got the Coffee Cowboy and the Bone Marrow Bolognese, both highly recommended to me. Both were fantastic, highly recommend. The bolognese is a bit heavier, so you'll have to pace yourself, maybe pair it with the basil chimi churri. I think the pricing is honestly pretty fair. Crust is great, much better than Pizzana's. Lots of folks came in to pick-up. Tip, you gotta eat it while it's HOT! Not ideal to eat on site, but it's possible. There's a small counter inside, and some tables outside, but you're basically next to i-10, so maybe there's a car fire to keep you entertained. Just praying for whichever Neo-Texan god to bring a second location to Sugar Land! read more

Great little place off I-10 that offers something different than the usual pizza place. Ordering online is easy and the estimated time is spot on. I've gotten the truffle mushroom bruschetta (5/5) twice and the half order is more than enough for a couple meals as the slices are big and it's quite rich. It's crispy and soft in the right places. Would recommend this dish. Also tried the bone marrow bolognese pizza (4/5) and I wasn't sure how'd I'd feel about it, but I ended up liking it quite a bit. It was a bit sweet, which was surprising but worked well with the flavors. Lastly, I've tried the chicken thigh meatballs (4/5) and can confirm they are tender and flavorful, but felt a bit salty after a few. There are some counter seats (3-5) if you want to eat there, but this is more of a to-go setup. read more

I really really enjoy Talespin, if you're gluten free, you need to try this place! Their gluten free pizza is legit. It's not a cauliflower crust or a paper thin, crumbly, cracker type gluten free pizza. They're super consistent, and I know that whatever I order will be good period. I've order from here via their website and Uber Eats at least 8 times, and each time it's great! I will say that sometimes the crust lacks flavor, but nothing homemade garlic butter can't solve! read more

Ok this place is amazing and my review is way overdue! We've had 7 different pizzas from them now and my favorite is the coffee cowboy. My husband's favorite is the truffle my fun guy. The desserts are all phenomenal. Really surprising for the pizza spot! The candied carrots are delicious and so are the wings. I wish the wings were bigger cause they're pretty tiny, but the flavors are spot on. Def recommend talespin! read more

Talespin pizza- a pizza joint with a very eye catching menu! Got the coffee cowboy (coffee crusted steak, smoked onion, bianco sauce, mozzarella, white cheddar, caramelized onion, smoked salt, and truffles Arugula) and the bone marrow bolognese (beef and slow bolognese, smoked onion, Blanco sauce, ricotta, fresh mozzarella, parm, red wine and chives) pizzas. Both were incredible! Loved the presentation and the quality of the ingredients. The steak on the coffee cowboy was my favorite part and compliments the rest of the pizza so well. 13" pizzas. If those two dont sound interesting enough, the other items are a wordful of delicious sounding pizzas. Parking is limited and the store itself is very small. Definitely more of a Togo place. read more

We had a great takeout dinner from Talespin Pizza. We ordered the caesar salad, and I really liked it--a solid caesar dressing, and the greens were super crispy and fresh. For pizza, we ordered a pepperoni pizza, and I liked it--very good, and i want to try one of their more creative pizzas next time. We also ordered a couple of the sauces to try--the hot honey and the ranch--and both were excellent. I also really enjoyed the side of roasted carrots that we got--I'd definitely re-order the carrots! read more

I heard some things about this place on tiktok and saw the yelp reviews. I was honestly pretty excited since I was in the area today. The guy at the register was really nice and felt welcoming. I ordered a cheese pizza for my son and chicken pizza for me. He ate one slice and decided it wasn't for me. I was pretty hungry and ate 3 1/2. They were kind of too burnt for my liking. I did smell some type of burning smell when I walked in but I just hoped it wouldn't happen to our pizza. Maybe I'll come back again and try it and just ask for less cook? I don't know how it works but it had potential. read more

Grabbed a takeout pepperoni pie a few weeks ago and made the mistake of listening to another yelp review that recommended getting the pizza extra baked/crispy - do NOT do that, it absolutely ruined the crust, it was so hard. Pizza itself was decent, pepperonis were good and the cheese variety on it was nice but I wasn't the biggest fan of the smokier cheese they used for this context. The rest of their menu looked really cool, would def come back to try a more fun flavor. read more

Talespin offers a variety of fun options for pizza. We had a hard time deciding which to get, but ultimately ended up with the Chili Crunch Pizza. It comes with Spicy Fried Chicken, Chili Crunch Ranch, White Cheddar, Hot Honey, Pickled Red Cabbage, Pickles, Crispy Garlic, and Chives. It was fantastic and I would highly recommend it. I usually judge pizzas on their crust, and this one was perfectly chewy, soft, and pillowy. They are open until 7 or 8, or until sold out. We were going to arrive about 15 minutes before closing, so we placed an online order, and it was ready for pickup when we arrived. Seating is limited, and also outdoors. Overall, Talespin was amazing, and I would definitely come back again to try their other menu items! read more

We've had Tailspin pizza twice now, and both times, we had to very carefully look at our box and make sure it was labeled gluten free. This is hands down the best pizza I've had in Houston. Not the best "gluten free pizza." THE BEST PIZZA, full stop. It's not super clear on their menu, so if you have any questions, call them. There's a lot more stuff on their menu that's gluten free than it seems. Oh and their regular crust is delicious, too, as confirmed by our gluten eating teenager. We've only had it delivered, so I'm not sure what the ambience is like. But if it's that good delivered, I can only imagine how good it would be fresh out of the oven! Do yourself a favor. Try it! read more

Everyone's been raving about Talespin so my cousins and I got two pies to go. Ordered the cowboy coffee pizza and bone marrow bolognese pizza. Love the sourdough crust (think that was the highlight of the meal). The cowboy coffee was meaty and the arugula on top was dressed which was nice (and not thrown dry on top). The bone marrow bolognese pizza was very rich (maybe a little too rich) and the flavor had so much depth with every bite. Both pizzas had white sauce. I think the price tag is a bit high but what you can expect from an artisan pizza shop. Would come back! read more

Omg, spectacular pizza! I decided to give talespin pizza a try on a weekday for lunch and I was very impressed. The restaurant is quite small, but I heard that they are expanding soon. There is one bar table indoors with four seats, and there are a few tables outside. There are so many interesting pizzas on the menu and it's actually hard to decide what to order since they are all so appealing. I ended up choosing the bone marrow bolognese which was fantastic! The pizza crust was perfection with the perfect chew, and the bolognese was savory and paired well with the ricotta cheese. I plan on coming back to try other pizzas and menu items.

Literally mid bite writing this review because it's so good I can't wait! This is our first order and we are floored by the flavorful combination on these pizzas. After seeing some online hype we decided to finally give it a try. Today for lunch we got the Caccio de Peppe pizza (with the optional caramelized onions, sausage, arugula, and mushrooms) and the One for the Herd pizza (special collab chicken tikka masala pizza). We also ordered a side Cesar salad. Both pizzas are EXCELLENT. You can really taste the attention to detail and seasoning given to all the toppings and elements. The sourdough crust has a slight smokiness from the wood fire aspect which gives it a unique flavor. The Cesar salad is divine too! It's bursting with garlic, Parmesan and Cesar flavors with the perfect crispy breadcrumbs. As Spring Branch residents we're so pleased to have this local gem as part of our neighborhood. We can't wait for our next visit where we plan to try the Peppered Vodka Pizza and the Pepperoni Pizza. Come try their food ASAP!! read more

Talespin blew up after a well-known local Houston food blogger visited them, and after that, I KNEW I had to check this place out. plus, I LOVE a good pizza! Small in space, but mighty in flavors - this local pizza spot perches itself up in the Memorial area off of N. Kirkwood and I-10! They offer a walk-up style pizza joint but they do offer minimal seating inside and a few tables to accommodate those who prefer eating outside! Not a true patio - but they have tables large enough to comfortably fit at least 4! Once you walk in, you know EXACTLY where you're at! The aromas coming from the pizza oven greet you with a tantalizing menu of NeoTexan style pizza with some very interesting shareable items and salads. They offer your traditional pizza styles, but there's nothing traditional about this place! Don't put them in a box, no pun intended! They offer craft beers and non-alcoholic beverages as well! Greatest of all, they provide complimentary bottled water to their patrons. I highly recommend their Bone marrow bolognese and their coffee cowboy! Ask for their chili crunch sauce on the side! Call it personal preference? But I do wish the bottom of their pizzas were crispier, and stayed crispy during the time of consumption too! Crust is lovely on the edges but loses the crispy factor on the bottom! The bolognese is on the heavy side, so try to balance it with a salad. Few facts: - ALL their pizzas are the same size! If I'm not mistaken, they are all 13" pizzas! - parking is a bit tight but I'm not sure if they offer additional parking somewhere else - they have a designated discard pile outside of the restaurant to throw away empty pizza boxes! Love the vibe. Love the customer service and I will def be back to try more pizzas! read more

My wife and I love a good pie, so when she told me she wanted some GOOD pizza this weekend I knew that I had to choose wisely. Talespin had been near the top of my list for a while so I figured there would be no better time than the present to give it a shot. Talespin has a small interior and their staff brings an incredibly down to earth and friendly presence that matches that energy. The place was packed and after tasting their pizza I can understand why! My wife and I ordered the "Bone Marrow Bolognese" and the "One for the Herd" Neo Texan Sourdough Pizzas. The latter a limited time Chicken Tikka Masala fusion pie. Although it was their busiest lunch of the year so far it was not a long wait and upon arrival of our food we seated ourselves at one of their tables outside to enjoy. The Bone Marrow Bolognese had plenty of meat and the sweetness of the Ricotta cheese definitely balanced well with the savory beef. The sourdough crust had a a nice char and was heavy enough to hold the toppings but light and airy enough for a good crunch/finish. Think New York pizza as a crust comparison. The Herd pizza had a Chicken Tikka base that could stand on its own. The Cilantro Chutney swirl added a fresh note to the heat. Overall the ingredients on both pizzas were fresh and you could tell that care and craft were put into each of the pizzas. Talespin has a healthy roster of truly unique pizzas some classic and some that you will only find in house. Many pizza spots struggle to find the balance between aesthetic, taste, and price but Talespin hits on all of these. As an added bonus the staff is on point. Midway through our meal a team member stopped by to see how we liked the pies and had a nice chat with us, it's the little things. Definitely my favorite pizza spot in Houston so far, we will be back! read more

What you usually get when you make your own whacky pizza: A bunch of mismatched flavors that sorta kinda taste good, but because you chose the ingredients, you have to like it. Talespin pizza: unique flavor combo that actually works very well together that come from a clear attention to detail. My gf and I ordered the Chili Crunch pizza on my first visit here after seeing many viral videos highly regarding this joint. It is essentially a spin on hot chicken pizza but more elevated. The pieces of fried chicken were crispy, soft, and moist as it should be. The sauce was spicy, tangy, and mayo-like and paired perfectly with the chicken. The pizza comes with cheddar + mozz, but I am usually a mozzarella only guy when it comes to pizza, so we got half w/o cheddar. I tried both and couldn't taste much of a difference, which was good for me! The two different halves were delineated by a clear difference in color of the cheese. The dough was insanely good. Slightly crisp, not too chewy, and fluffy. Service was quick, we ordered online right before they closed and it was ready upon arrival. We ate outside on the few tables, but their proximity to the highway made it hard to hear each other. They would do really well if they had additional seating, which based on their responses to other reviews, they are in the process of finding a second location. At $16-18/specialty pizza, I think the pizzas are well worth the price. For smaller stomachs, a pizza can stretch to two meals. FYI: They are closed 7/1-7/6 per the sign on their door. read more

On a whim, my wife and I tried this place. We didn't have a lot of time and we were in the area. Man, oh man, did we find a gem. Seems like we were late to the party! At first we didn't know what to expect and even though their seating is extremely limited and most of it on the sidewalk, we had a good time. Definitely not a place for big groups. It is best known for takeout and delivery. But the pizza flavor was so good. The crust was light and airy, with a sweet sauce and balanced cheese flavor. Quality ingredients! We tried the classic pepperoni and the Pig pizza (sausage, pepperoni, & chicken). We do not live in the area, actually about 30 mins, but we will be visiting again real soon. read more
