    Coffee cowboy pizza
    Tim C.

    Amazing Coffee Cowboy Neotexan dough, coffee-crusted flank steak, smoked onion, bianco sauce, white cheddar, caramelized onion, mozz, smoked salt and truffled arugula. We shared a blueberry cheesecake in a canning jar...it was almost as great as the pie. They have two tables inside and a few more outside.

    Pepperoni Pizza

    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.

    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.

    One of the herd

    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

    Rita with added smoked chicken
    Tiffini D.

    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.

    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

    The black box

    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!

    Gluten free Pepperoni
    Fre'Dasia D.

    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!

    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.

    One for the Herd

    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!

    Front entrance, busy Fri night

    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!

    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.

    Sanela S.

    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!

    3.5 stars, edging up to 4…read more I just came through the walk-up window and grabbed a slice, so this review is for a single slice at the window. They had a pretty good selection of by-the-slice pizzas that day. It came out in about five minutes -- this is your classic style where the pizza's already made, and once you order they throw your slice in the oven to heat it up, drop it on a paper plate, and hand it to you at the window. All-beef pepperoni slice, ~$5.50 -- a pretty good slice. The crust was very thin and got very crispy after cooking. On value, though, $5.50 for a single slice is a little much -- I think somewhere in the $3.50-$4 range would feel better. You'd probably get better value ordering a whole pie. In general, a very, very good slice of pizza. Price notwithstanding, if you're a pizza lover in Houston, I'd suggest stopping here and trying it at least once. Would recommend, and would return.

    Good later night pizza option downtown. An individual slice of cheese was $4.50, and the slice is…read moredecently sized. It seems like their style of pizza is quite thin, so if that's not your preference I'd steer clear. There are a few seating options inside as well as some more seating outside. I really enjoyed their decor, it felt eclectic and Italian-adjacent. There are a few parking spots in front, otherwise there is street parking to the side.
