Can we dump the "Montrose" label

by fakeracismstopcryingwolf at Citysearch

Whether or not Star Pizza itself calls this a "Montrose" location, it is not in Montrose. At least not the Montrose that most of us want to avoid when thinking about who is handling our pizzas. 59 and Shepherd is hardly "Montrose" so give it a rest already.

• Pros: Great pizza
• Cons: None

The best or second best pizza in town

by englishalien at Citysearch

My girlfriend and I are both students, and as such enjoy unique (non-chain) joints with great food and reasonable prices - thats exactly what you're getting with Stars. If you go expecting plush decor and smartly dressed waiteresses, you'll be disappointed. This is a good old no frills pizza place with both New York and Chicago styles to choose from. As vegetarians, I can't comment on the meat offerings, but the veggie special includes a bunch of juicy toppings like broccoli, mushrooms, etc. Its a toss-up between Star and Frank's as to who does the 'best' pizzas in town, but if we're talking toppings I'd have to go with Star!

• Pros: Awesome pizza, with both NY and Chicago styles. Friendly customers.
• Cons: Could do with more veggie options maybe.

Best pizza in Houston

by gocoogs91 at Citysearch

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

I love this place!

by cschace at Citysearch

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

Best Pizza in Houston

by htownhurricane at Citysearch

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

You will never order delivery again.

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!

Hands down, the best pizza in town!

by zptabby at Citysearch

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
