Big Humphrey's Pizza & Italian

Disappointing...

by captainredfish at Citysearch

My wife and I were looking for a local pizza/Italian restaurant to frequent as we despise the cheap, fast food pizza places i.e. Dominos, Papa Johns, Little Ceasars, Pizza Hut, etc. Surpirisingly, the pizza here was very average and the price was way above average. Try Fuzzy's or Star Pizza in Houston for better pizza and price, unfortunately they are a long way from Pearland and obviously don't deliver out here. Not real impressed with customer service/friendliness, either. Bottom line: Just not what we expected from a 'Mom & Pop' type place that has to compete with corporate America's marginalized Italian...

Slow service for frozen food.

To be fair I did try this place twice. Once on a Friday and once on a Wednesday. I received slow service when the place was packed and when it was empty. The pizza was okay but I can get a better flavor with Freshetta Pizza. The lasagna tasted like it had been frozen and reheated. Oh well, off to find better Italian.

Family-owned Pearland institution since the late '80s, expect hearty Italian fare mixed with a few Tex-Mex flavors.

In Short
Eclectic décor at this local favorite includes '40-era wrestling photos and promo posters of owner Jasper Vitale's father, the namesake Big Humphrey. The menu features Sicilian recipe favorites like eggplant Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, and a house favorite deluxe pizza--a thick crust made fresh daily and topped with every manner of meat, veggie and a handful of anchovies. Also on the menu are some Texan treats like chicken fried steak and a popular half-pound burger sided by crispy French fries.

Alot of food for not-alot of price!

Great food, fast-friendly service. The only negative was the waitress forgot to mention the dinner special for that night (shrimp and crawfish over pasta), which I would have gotten if I had known. But the food is good and I would still go back.

• Pros: fast, friendly

good pizza

May family and I happened upon this restaruant last night when we were in the Pearland area and hungry for dinner. Big Humphrey's serves up an excellent pizza. The crust is crisp and chewy and there's lots of sauce, and the pizza is not greasy at all. The service was friendly and the candles on the table added a nice ambiance. Also the owner's family was dining in that night and it was nice to see how much they enjoy the food they make and how happy it made them that we liked the pizza! We'll go back next time we make a trip down there.
