Star Pizza

If you can't get to Chicago, Star Pizza is the closest thing in Houston. It can get crowded on weekends, but they usually keep up with demand. Parking is not great, but you can usually find a spot on the streets near by.

Pros: Great pizza

Cons: parking

This place is really excellent for tasty, real pizza that is made to order. I have always had excellent service and a perfectly done pizza every time. The wait staff is friendly and attentive, there's always parking, and it's a perfect place to bring a crowd.

Pros: excellent pizza, made to order, parking, service

Cons: Gets crowded on weekend

This was my first time at Star Pizza. I would definitely come back for lunch, and even dinner. I love this place. If your in the mood for fantastic food in an uber-trendy atmosphere, you will probably love it, too. The was great and the waitstaff , albeit overtly cool, was very friendly. Try the Margherita Pizza or the Rosemary & Garlic Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

Pros: Excellent food. Freindly Staff. Casual atmosphere.

Cons: None

They have great pizza, great service and a great lunch buffet. Salad bar is always good. It is easy to get in and out quick for lunch.

The pizza I had delivered last night from Star Pizza in the Heights was DIS-GUS-TING and pretty much inedible. What was wrong with it? Well the main problem was WAAAAAAAAY too much cheese. That caused other problems as well. For example, New York style crust is supposed to be crispy!! This crust was the total opposite of crispy. It was doughy and moist and the pieces totally fell apart when we removed them from the box. Additionally, because of the inch-thick layer of rubbery cheese, when I received the pizza, much of the cheese had already slid off the top of the pizza, taking most of the toppings with it and coming to rest stuck to a corner of the cardboard box. All in all, it was one of the most disgusting pizzas I have ever had in my life. The only part that I could bring myself to eat was the crust. If I could do the night over again I would have saved some money and gotten a way more edible frozen pizza or Papa Johns

Pros: cool atmosphere

Cons: nasty, disgusting food

This place is awsome. I love the cozy feeling this place has. My girlfriend and I were seated very promptly and had a nice table with the angel babys but. It was a packed house but we felt alone because of the large seats we had. The Pizza is the best I ever had. Im a really hearty guy and usually i eat an average of 4 slices, yet the pizza slices at this joint were so big and fool of toppings that I only ate 2. Best place to hang out with a group friends after a movie.

Pros: Good Pizza, leave stuffed

Cons: Location street is wierd, might confuse out of towners

I had heard such great things, but what a disappointment. Our waiter was lacking any personality and was very inattentive. The deep dish pizza was soggy and covered in mushrroms for lack of the other ingredients promiced by the menu's description. And the bathroom was so gross I thought I would get a disease. It's not good at all, just trendy, but I don't like to follow the crowd so I will never go there again. It was way way over priced, almost 20$ for a large supreme! Barry's is the best.

Since I am still looking for the quintessential pizza, I cna only give it a 9.8 rating..but this is as close as you get.

Star is the best and most original pizza joint in Houston. Pizzas take 30-40 minutes to cook, so either order ahead of time before you arrive at the restaurant or try the goat cheese truffle or the Chelsea salad while you're waiting. Both are fantastic preludes to Star's delicious pizza. If you haven't tried Joe's pizza on a deep dish crust (try whole wheat!), you don't know what you're missing!

You must order the roasted head of garlic with goat cheese for starters! Each clove is like a warm, buttery explosion in your mouth! As for your meal, you can't go wrong with any pizza, pasta or entree. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed; great for a casual date, family dinner or night out with your friends. You will not be disappointed! If you want awesome pizza, Star is the only place to go!

Pros: delicious food, good service, warm and cozy feel

Cons: parking
