Can you REALLY trust city search?

by absolutburton at Citysearch

I see that citysearch has 5 stars for so many restaurants...a lot that stink... the reason I'm saying this on here is because of the "authentic" NY taste. I'm a born and bred Manhattanite living in Houston. I don't think it's physically possible to match NY pizza. Although they do a good pizza here. Smaller than NY, a little thinner too. More expensive for other Italian staples. Salads are small for what you pay. I would still recommend it anyway.

Not quite NY, but as close as possible!

An Upstate New Yorker displaced in Texas, I have made it my mission to find the best pizza in town. While there are still some flaws to be worked out, such as the fact that they do not make a bunch of specialty slices, but rather just put the items you request on top of cheese and then reheat, this pizza is the closest to the real thing that I've found yet in Houston. Don't go expecting authentic pizza, but it is by far the most acceptable I've found so far. Crust is perfect - I can't believe how hard Texans find it to make the crust crispy yet soft and the right thickness. They don't use cheap crappy cheese, and the sauce is correct pizza sauce, not marinara. Could use a little more salt and oregano in the sauce, though. Overall score with 10 being Pavone's Pizza in Manlius, this place scores a 7.5. Good enough for this New Yorker and MILES above the NY Pizzerias and Gotham Pizzas in this neighborhood. Give it a try! You'll be pleasantly suprised.

This little slice of Italy is a gem among chains, vying to make pies you can't refuse.

The Scene
Take a New Yorker to this joint. If he doesn't say it reminds him of Queens, it's because he's crying tears of homesickness. Dishes are authentic pizzeria staples (the owner hails from Italy via Ozone Park), but the low price is the main draw. Don't bother if you're out for the fancy stuff.

The Food
Salads are hit-and-miss, especially when the place gets slammed, but pizza's the star: thin-crust and snappy, flavorful and moist, sans drippy fluorescent-orange grease. Abundant fresh meats and vegetables serve as stand-alone meals despite their cameo performances as toppings. Cheeses have an Old-World texture, and zesty sauces, even plain-Jane marinara, have exactly the right amounts of herbs and garlic without any neoclassic minimalism.

slice as big as my head

by moms_kitchen at Citysearch

Get a slice, and share w/ a friend. Its tooo big. Great pizza. Yes a little more expensive than what I'm use to. But then a picasso is more expensive than a velvet elvis painting.

• Pros: your kids will love the pizza, plenty of parking
• Cons: little more expensive. But hey, I pay for coffee at starbucks, so Im not complaining.

Love their Manicotti

by cutebabygirl at Citysearch

I think you get a great deal for your money here! Salad and garlic bread are included with all the entrees and the food is so very good for the price. And you can even get wine with your meal. It has a really neat New York meets Houston atmosphere.

• Pros: Tasty, gerat marina sauce, a lot for the money

You want to eat here

Pizza here comes pretty close to the stuff in NY, best I've had since moving to Houston. Although I wish the dough was a little softer...
