Luigi's Pizza - Houston

Service is amazing. They are very helpful and attentive to tables. The food comes out quickly and hot. Best appetizer was the Mac and cheese bites. This is the first place, where the Mac and cheese inside is creamy! So good. The Caesar salad was a good portion, and pizza is great.. loaded with toppings. The Alfredo was okay- needed more flavor and it seemed like more of a jar sauce than a heavy cream base. Overall, loved it and would definitely come back when we are in town.

I've been a long standing fan of Luigi's. They are one of the best here in Houston. If you love pizza you must go here. There are two locations for this chain, but this one is more home style while the other is connected to a Biergarten. The staffs are nice and we are always surprise at how big the slices are here. They're super generous. We got the cheese pizza and I love being able to taste all the individual ingredients. Crispy pizza with a nice, chewy bite to the crust. The sauce is natural and fresh tasting. Love the freshness here. Definitely a less is more kind of place.

The price is good, the facilities are a bit small, and the food is so-so. The people are friendly and they seemed to like the job but the calzone was really underwhelming and inconsistently cooked. Parts were scalding hot and others were cool. The meats were squishy in a bad way- like maybe too much fat or oil. The gelato was good. They do offer dine in but I don't think this is what they want from a business model as it is small inside and they don't wait on you at the table. Maybe the pizza would be better but the calzone was not worth a return for it.

I have always been a fan of Luigi's since I first ate there fairly regularly at the Downtown location a decade ago. I had only been to this location once in either 2018 or 2019 n still a big fan. I had almost forgotten about it bc it's so hidden off and never saw it once since then until someone I knew mentioned it recently. It all came back to me and I knew I had to pay a visit. I ordered a slice of Margherita Pizza, slice of Mushroom Pizza both dine-in and a takeout of Lasagna for myself too earlier. Everything was awesome, very well-made, really moist and very delicious. Everything I ordered reminded me of food from a great spot in NYC this past summer. The pizzas both had great oven/coal-fire crusts. The cheese and sauce were good quality and were about equal in amount to the other. The sauce was more runny and tangy, while the cheese was oily to an acceptable degree. The margherita pizza was one of the best I have had down here with a solid, very tasty profile of tomatoes, olive oil, basil and acidity. The mushrooms pizza was cheesy, earthy, tangy and very tasty like the other in its own way. I was lucky to get the lasagna since it ran out the last two of three times I tried to get it in the past at another location. The lasagna was very tasty with a rich, creamy, savory and sour profile to it. The sauce was a tomato cream and very good with supple ground beef and soft layers of pasta. It wasn't too salty or too sweet. Great, friendly service from the lady that took my order and what an exciting NFCC game to enjoy the meal with. It had been too long since eating here and will be back again.

I hate writing this review as this used to be my go to pizza parkour. Ordered a large pepperoni. The pizza taste decent but there were piece with a single pepperoni. I think I had on the large 16 total piece of pepperoni. This used to be a great place and I hope this was a one time thing.
