What People Are Saying About Spanky's Pizza & Italiana
The Owner
Spanky's Pizza & Italiana
Owner
Spanky's Pizza & Italiana has been serving outstanding hand tossed pizza since 1976. We make oven-fresh, mouth-watering pizza exactly the way your order it. Choose from a variety of gourmet topings or try our wheat-crust pizza. Wash it down with a nice mug of beer or margarita. We also serve basic Italian dishes, salads, burgers and chicken fried steak.

In Short – Folks in Southeast Houston know that Spanky's has long provided regulars with hand-tossed pizzas in a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Diners seat themselves at one of the many booths scattered throughout the cheekily decorated restaurant, vying for a television vantage point on game days. The big draw is the thin crust pizza, although the menu also features solid classic Italian dishes like lasagna, spaghetti, chicken parmesan and fettucine alfredo. Salads, burgers, chicken wings and po-boys round out the offerings.
I'll NEVER go back!

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! My husband and I dined there and were ABSOLUTELY DISRESPECTED!! Within ten minutes of closing, we were packing up our leftovers and had just received our check and an employee walks in front of my husband who was obviously looking at the television and turns it off. No explanation, no nothing...and then from the back of the restaurant someone yells "you don't have to go home, but you have to get the f* out of here." But the killer is, that there were 3 other customers sitting at the bar looking at the television and casually talking to the bartender as we left. It was not that close to closing that you had to kick people out, in fact I had driven nearly 10 miles away from the restaurant BEFORE it was actually closing time.
I will NEVER visit again. And I will be sure to tell EVERYONE that I know how poorly we were treated!!!
- Cons: Horrible Service, Rude Waitstaff

The pizza from here is a lot better than Dominos and Pizza Hut put together. I loved this pizza place when I was a kid and I love it now that I'm older. I also love their cheese sticks. This place ROCKS!
The Details on Spanky's Pizza & Italiana
What to Drink:
Though you wouldn't normally associate them with pizza, the margaritas here are every bit as popular as the ice-cold beer.
The Extras:
A small bar area provides video games and a few more TVs for sports fans. The restaurant can tend to get crowded on Texans game day (it's close to the stadium), so plan ahead.
