Meyerland-Meanest manager – We had lunch on a Saturday, busy time of the day. Tables were scarce and waiter is trying to clean them as fast as possible but manager was on his case telling him "don't you know how to clean tables?" in Spanish. Managers demeanor was slow, grumpy, unhappy, and simply mean. The rest of staff seemed on edge also. Food was good but the atmosphere was just ruined w/ the mistreatment of employees. Next time I hope the manager is doing paperwork instead.

Shame on NY Pizzeria – Anyone who thinks this place has NY Pizza has LOST THEIR MIND. The sauce is thick and sugary (everyone knows true NY Sauce is thin with tomato chunks.) The closest thing I found to NY Pizza is Franks Downtown (awesome!) Luigi's in Midtown, and Romano's on West Grey. Save your money and time people. Even though it may not be NY Pizza, in that neighborhood go to Barry's instead.

Katy Pizzeria : good pizza, awful service, rude servers, sheisty and cheap with their lemons – I visited this place, the pizza is good, but unfortunatey the staff, waiters, owners /manager or whatever they are, were extremely rude! They don't know how to treat and serve people, they have no idea on what they are doing. They are extremely shady and cheap and lied about not having lemons, for your water, they need to be fully supplied. The owners or managers, (or whatever they were) have no kind of manners and are simply unpro... read more

NEW RUSSO'S NEW YORK PIZZERIA ON KATY FRWY/BLALOCK – Thank you Mr. Russo for finally bringing New York style pizza to the memorial area off the Katy Freeway @Blalock. Fuzzy''s Pizza on Antoine, although very good pizza, needed some competition. Their pizza is high priced. We patiently waited for your restaurant to open and finally dined there the first week it was open. We loved the atmosphere and, of course, the pizza. Your new restaurant is warm and inviting just like the one off Chimney Rock @ Westheimer. Love the music y... read more

Love this place – Me and My Wife went there last night for a quick bite. I am truly amazed that I have not eaten there before....It is simply the best Pizza I have had in Texas. My wife, who is from New Jersey, feels this is the best pizza she has ever eaten. I would not try Star or any other pizzaeria in Houston - as they cannot compare. The rest of the menu looks intersting but I am not sure we will ever try it given the high quality of the pizza.

Hurrican Ike overcharging – On September 16, 2008, we ordered pizza from NY Pizzeria. at Westheimer and Chimney Rock . They were charging $20 for a $14 pizza. We complained that the prices were higher than normal and Anthony (owner) said tough sh!t and that we should be happy to just have the food. He also said he doesn't care and we should never come back. Anthony was insolent, selfish and rude. Fellow Houstonians, we will never go back there, I urge you to do the same. 

Business response:

Dear 6861501, We did not overcharge our valued customers. Our computers were not working because of the power outage so we could not use our cash registers, we were short handed, we had no change because the banks were closed, and we could not take credit cards. Here is a comparison between our regular price and the "IKE SPECIAL": - 12? PIZZAS: 3 toppings menu price = $16.45+tax Specialties menu price = $13.95 to $15.95+tax IKE SPECIAL = $13.86+tax ($15) ANY WAY YOU WANT IT - 16? PIZZAS: 3 toppings menu price = $19.80+tax Sp... read more

This ain't NY Pizza - It's Sysco Pizza – Just finished another try at NY Pizzeria in Houston. Have tried several of their locations. The Westheimer location still seems to make okay pizza but my experience today at the Holcombe store couldn't hold a candle to store bought frozen pie. This has been my experience at other NY Pizzeria locations outside of the Westheimer store. Today I tried a slice of meatball and jalapeno. The meatballs had been crushed up into large chunks, sort of like sausage but larger. They had absolutely... read more
