Pinballz Pizzeria

We stumbled in here by chance but thank god we did. Somehow this place put out the best wings my girlfriend and I have ever had. Stellar drinks and jello shots from the friendliest staff before the new years night was exactly what we needed. The chorizo fuego pizza was so damn good. Definitely recommend it. Next time im in houston, ill drive out of my way just to get here, you should too.

Stumbled upon this shop after the balloon museum. The pizza is lite and has a fluffy almost biscuit like crust. Great taste. Great atmosphere with the music and pinball machine. Cool upstairs seating and bar downstairs.

I've lived in Houston for almost 10 years. Been all over the city, from the Heights to the Woodlands to Clear Lake; from Baytown to Katy, so when I say this is the BEST PIZZA IN HOUSTON, I mean it. Period. Incredible pizza, amazing staff, just a great place all around.

We were looking for a spot to eat some pizza after a Dynamo game, and found the perfect atmosphere here. The pizza was great, the salad was perfect, and the vibes were family-friendly. Service was amazing. Zhavian, the manager, offered exceptional service, and it's evident that he is an expert in the field of hospitality. As soon as we walked in, he was already welcoming us with a smile. If you're in the area, stop by for pizza! (They also have gluten-free and dairy-free options!)

YES THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE. Vibes? Immaculate. Pizza? Delicious Drinks? Solid. Happy hour? Tues - Fri 3-6pm. Owned by the same guy as Henderson & Kanes— so of course it’s delicious.

Delicious pizza! Needed a quick lunch and dropped in for a to-go order. They were quick and the service was nice. 10/10 on the crust which was light but yet crunchy and buttery. Will definitely be back!

My husband and I stopped by Pinball Pizzeria after Cidercade and wow we were blown away. The service was absolutely immaculate; truly the kind of attentive, thoughtful hospitality you rarely come across these days. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. We sat in their cute upstairs dining area which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I can honestly say I’ve never experienced such extraordinary service at a pizzeria before. We will definitely be back!

Pizza is top notch. The stuffed crust is impressive - crunchy AND chewy - I don't know how they do it! Friendly owners and legit pinball machines. Can't wait to be in town again to go back!

Wow. Apart from NY and Chicago style pizza. This is hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had. Well priced too. Friendly staff and chill fun atmosphere. Strongly recommend if your in town

Pinball Pizzeria was the perfect place to place a bulk order for our largest event of the year! Their service was top notch and our attendees wouldn't stop raving about how good the pizza tasted! Huge thank you to the Pinball team!

First time here and I loved it! Fresh pizza, great flavor, and super welcoming staff. I’ll definitely be back! The trompo pizza is a must!!!

As soon as we entered the place we were greeted with a warm genuine hello. The guy behind the counter was smiling brightly. The place was near and well lit. After promptly taking out order and answering a few questions we sat upstairs and waited. The atmosphere is super cozy and perfect for a casual date night. We aren't the only ones there but it felt like it. I had lemon pepper wings and could tater th fresh lemon juice that had been used in the preparation. My date had the pizza and was equally impressed by the taste and quality. It was a great experience overall and WILL return.

The staff was super friendly and the pizza was delicious! The kids had a blast playing the pinball machines, and the manager even made sure they got to enjoy them.

Pizza is amazing best I’ve ever had. Tres leches cake is so good. They don’t have it now but maybe later. Every time I come to Houston I stop by.

This place is incredible. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Crust was perfectly crispy, but also fluffy on the inside. Sauce and cheese were excellent. GET THE TROMPO PIZZA!!!

Amazing pizza cooked to perfection with just the right amount of cheese, sauce, and crisp! The wings are also very delicious and just the right amount of sauce is applied to them. The atmosphere is also one of a kind with a nice relaxed pinball theme, and the service is truly amazing very helpful and friendly staff. Would 10/10 recommend!

They allowed me to reserve the entire upstairs for my boyfriend’s birthday party which had 30+ guests. The manager was extremely accommodating and nice. He provided great service and went out of his way to help us. The pizza was also really good, especially the buffalo chicken pizza. I loved the vibe too. Thanks again for letting us use your restaurant!

Staff had amazing customer service/very professional and warm at the same time. No corporate bull like most places out here. Crust was delicious and i built a personal “10 for my husband and i paired with a 6 pc buffalo wings. Pizza crust was crisp, cheese ratio to toppings was perfect. And its clean, definitely this place is a spot for me now!

The pizza here is absolutely top notch—bursting with flavor and made with a perfectly balanced, crisp-yet-chewy crust that shows real craftsmanship. Every bite tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The staff is equally impressive, willing to accommodate any request with a smile. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and the location couldn’t be better—easy to find, convenient, and a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. We will be coming back!!

Wish we had tried this awesome pizza sooner! Full of taste and blows all other surrounding pizza joints out of the park. Restaurant itself is cool and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Trust all the other 5-star reviews and try it!

First off.... this place is awesome!! I went here for the first time with a friend on our way to a concert and thought we'd stop by and check it out, beforehand. I think the only downside I will say in this review is the parking is a little tight but other than that, no complaints. Now... onto the the positives! We ordered two small pizzas (perfect for two people). The first was the Chorizo Fundido (sorry if I misspelled), the crust was perfectly crisp and slightly charred, perfect crunch outside and soft inside. Chorizo was tasty and the jalapeños were a great combo. The green salsa served on the side had great taste and loved the heat level!! The second was a custom one, 2x pepperoni (the little cupped slices and shredded pepperoni) with goat cheese and hot honey (served in packets so you control the amount of honey). Again, perfect crust, great tasting toppings! The goat cheese was crumbled instead of smeared. I/we will definitely be back!! As we were leaving the staff thanked us for coming to try the pizza. And the wait time for the pizzas were very short (we did go when it wasn't busy, so times may vary).

We had a great experience at Pinball Pizza, and a big part of that was our server, Co. Co was amazing—kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure we had all the details on the food and drinks. We ordered the brisket pizza and lemon pepper wings, and both were excellent. The wings were perfectly crisp with great flavor. The brisket pizza was a unique specialty with bold, well-balanced flavors. I personally prefer a more crisp undercarriage, but with the weight of the toppings, that can be difficult to achieve. We also added stuffed crust, which was very unique and unlike any stuffed crust we’ve had elsewhere—definitely a standout. They have Woodford Reserve which was a delight to have as a nightcap. The atmosphere was great with TVs upstairs and downstairs, and they’ve also just added a full bar, which makes it an even better spot to hang out. Great food, great vibe, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for Co!

The whole staff at Pinballz is great! Food is top notch and service is excellent! Pizza is great , perfect crust and fresh ingredients! Also they're sub sandwiches are great , and they've got great appetizers! Just go , everything's great, tell your mom , your cousin , your neighbor , tell a stranger at the park . Pinballz is the spot for pizza in Houston!

This is hands down the most amazing pizzeria in Houston. The moment you walk in you can smell the fresh dough baking and the rich aroma of their sauces. The crust is perfectly crisp on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside, and every topping tastes incredibly fresh. The cheese melts just right without being too heavy and the flavors come together like no other pizza spot in the city. The staff is always welcoming and you can tell they really care about the food they’re serving. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or ordering a whole pie to share, it never disappoints. After trying so many places in Houston, this is the one that truly stands out and I honestly can’t imagine going anywhere else for pizza

Visitedfor the first time on 1/22/2026, pizza was ready quick and staff was very nice and helpful. The pizza was delicious They also have two pinball machines that take quarters only

Stopped by because it’s a few steps from Cidercade, in the next lot, and a budget friendly spot. I loved the pizzeria’s interior decor with the neon and astronaut type art. They do have seating inside and a small upstairs with booths that overlook the kitchen. The small pizza, a 10 inch, is shareable between two people. It has a choice of three toppings. The pizza was made fresh and came out fast. We were so hungry that we inhaled it before I took a picture but it had great flavor!! They also have fresh cake and cannolis which looked amazing. Very good pizza, friendly staff and cute place. I will be back :)

Pinball Pizzeria is such a fun, tucked-away Houston spot. The space has great energy, pinball-inspired decor, and a second level that overlooks the open kitchen, which makes it feel lively without being chaotic. The pizza is where they really shine. The mozzarella and chorizo stuffed crust is a must, and the Trompo pizza is packed with bold flavor. We also loved that you can build your own and customize it however you want. They’re offering a $65 Valentine’s dinner starting February 10 that includes three courses and your choice of wine. The heart-shaped pizza is a fun touch, and everything we tried was well executed and generously portioned. Great option for date night, Galentine’s, or just a casual night out with friends. Definitely a neighborhood gem worth checking out.

$13 small 10 inch pizza with 3 toppings. The crust and underside was nice and crispy. Reminds me of pan pizza. Roasted garlic and chicken were good. Sauce is decent. Friendly service.

This place is absolutely amazing. They have a great selection of pizza the mozzarella sticks are super crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed some buffalo wings with blue cheese and they rock! When you stop by, please enjoy a San Gennaro Italian sausage hoagie. This is literally what you would enjoy at a feast in New York.

Located less than a mile from all the main sports venues in downtown Houston, this pizzeria may not look like much from the outside—but don’t judge a book by its cover until you try it yourself! I came expecting more pinball machines, but quickly realized I was here for the real attraction: the “pie.” The moment we walked in, we were greeted by Zavian, the manager, who is the heart and soul of this place. His personality is one-of-a-kind and truly the “secret ingredient” that makes this pizza spot special. He even took the time to show me some of their fresh ingredients—like their Canadian bacon (real ham, sliced fresh)—which helped me decide what to order. My kids and I went for two pies and three soft drinks, then headed upstairs where most of the seating is. The upstairs area has plenty of TVs showing all kinds of shows and live games, making it a perfect hangout spot before or after an event. Our pizza came out fast, and Zavian personally brought us drinks, trays, and plates. When I asked about our second pizza, he had a moment of confusion, but without hesitation he said, “Don’t worry—what kind did you want?” I offered to pay, but he simply smiled and insisted it was on the house, taking full ownership of the mix-up. That kind of humility and thoughtfulness is rare these days. The pizza itself? Incredible. My kids—who have very high pizza standards—devoured it and called it one of the best they’ve ever had. It’s no surprise once we learned they make everything in-house, from the dough to the sauce, using only fresh ingredients. We had such an amazing experience, and it’s all thanks to the great food, the welcoming atmosphere, and especially Zavian, who lights up any room with his smile and energy. We live in Pearland, but this place is worth the drive—and we’ll be back sooner rather than later. If you’re in Houston, especially near downtown, do yourself a favor and check it out.

We are from out of town and the kids wanted pizza, I didn’t want it from a chain. Very good food, GREAT atmosphere, GREAT service. Staff was helpful and my kids had fun playing pinball instead of on their phones!

First time here and this place was amazing!! Pizza was sooo good and the manager is very nice! Definitely coming back!

The Pinball Sub: loaded with meatballs, marinara sauce, and toasted, with a 4 cheese blend. The crunch was super satisfying, the taste is great(not overbearing either). The service was great and the restaurant was very clean 😁 Would definitely come again for one of their pizzas 🍕.

Okay EADO! (Scroll down for bullet points if you don't want up read all of this lol) This place is legit. I came in expecting subpar pizza. I walked in and was greeted immediately. Jose was so nice and explained the current menu and how it will soon be expanding. Yay!! I ordered a BYO (build your own) pizza (Base pizza is a 4 cheese pizza. I added pepperoni, green peppers and olives). Wow. Crunchy and chewy crust, fresh tasting ingredients, popping flavor. This is NOT the same owners of the previous pizza place. I went home with a few extra slices and let my brother try it. He immediately placed a pick up order (He wanted pepperoni and chorizo). I tried some of his. Also delish! Y'all! Come and try it!!! I will be back and I'm bringing my fam. Lol. Its a great spot if you're going to a ball game (Astros, Rockets, Dynamo) or a show in the stadiums, swinging by EADO for whatever, Cidercade, etc. They also have tvs! They mentioned working on getting sports packages to watch games which they technically already had some on. You can tell they really care about making good, quality food (after speaking with the manager, Jose). They make the dough fresh daily. I'm excited to see them grow! Oh, they mentioned catering for businesses as well!! They have not had a grand opening yet, so there's more to come! -Ambiance: Laid back and welcoming -2 restrooms behind the stairs -Food: I only had the pizza which was delicious (no deep dish or thin crust YET). Crust was so good. I was told they make it fresh daily. Will be back to try other items! NO pizza by the slice, but I was told they will start making 10inch personal pizzas! -Drinks: Soft drinks available. Beers and seltzers will be available soon (liquor license)!! -Location: Across from Cidercade. 12 min walk from Minute Maid...ok, Daikin Park, whatever...and 12 min from Shell Energy aka the Dynamos Stadium -Service: Excellent service. The staff was very kind. -Seating: Inside seating only. Bar seats plus a few spots downstairs and then more upstairs seating. -Free parking in lot; I believe street parking is free, but DOUBLE CHECK

So I happened to check out this place before an Astros game to pregame it & it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Jose & Cesar really made us feel welcomed. This is a growing gem with food that’s out of this world, but when you talk about location location location…this is it!!! Houston style pizza, as their slogan says “Houston we have pizza” is amazing. From cheese stuffed chorizo crust & who in the world puts brisket on a pizza. All I have to say is THANK YOU! Check this place out & you won’t be disappointed!

Awesome pizza and atmosphere by downtown and all the stadiums! Let’s go! The pizza is great with a crispy under carriage, plenty of cheese and tasty toppings! The garlic crust is also a nice touch. Also, 11 bucks for a fresh made 10” personal pizza is a great deal! The staff was friendly and it comes out fast. Good place for a work lunch or a game because they have a bunch of TVs too.

Emily Crawford

We are from out of town and the kids wanted pizza, I didn’t want it from a chain. Very good food, GREAT atmosphere, GREAT service. Staff was helpful and my kids had fun playing pinball instead of on their phones!

Elyssia

First time here and this place was amazing!! Pizza was sooo good and the manager is very nice! Definitely coming back!

Brandon Luckain

Jose and Cesar made sure I was well taken care of here. Everything tastes as good as it looks. Fast service as well. The H&K Brisket Pizza is probably the best BBQ pizza I’ve ever had. It’s like your favorite parts of a proper BBQ plate, conveniently fitting onto a perfect slice.

Stephenie Nguyen

We wanted pizza and pasta to make the Sunday scaries go away. It was our first time trying Pinball Pizzeria. If you’re looking for a hangout spot with good vibes and even better atmosphere, go visit them! Their attention to detail in decor brings you nostalgia with a twist of H-town. This is all from our visit to pick up our food. Zhavian (if you’re reading this, I hope I spelled your name right) was super friendly and welcoming. There was a mistake on our order and he helped make up for it. We thank you for providing great customer service. We look forward in coming back to try more menu items!

The owner is amazing, incredibly kind and helpful, and makes damn good pizza. It’s got a very homey and modern atmosphere, we’ve tried all sorts of pizzas and combos from here, the margarita with some extra Mozz is by far our favorite, perfectly sauced pizza and a nice sized crust with good crunch and just enough softness to blend everything together. Service has always been great, great vegetarian options, their pasta tasted very simple and satisfying, portion sizes are great

This hidden gem not too far from downtown is great. We love the pizza and wings! I totally recommend this place. The staff is wonderful and I atmosphere is relaxing. Fun place to watch the games as there are plenty of TVs and the music Playlist will have you tapping your feet!

We were in the area. I saw this place online, decided to give it a try. We were in and out in 45 minutes It was great, pizza was good The service was good they gave us a sample taste of one of their specialty pizzas. They have specials and happy hour I recommend

We had a Trompo pizza and if you are team pineapple on your pizza or like al pastor tacos, you will enjoy this one! Also, I loved that they had a few games to play at that table for my 9 year old son to stay busy ( in addition to pinball machines) and a really neat “egg hunt” of pinballs around the restaurant. Love the food and experience there and will be back to try other food items!

First time here and was warmly welcomed upon arrival. Had a seat at the bar for a beer and to see what all the fuss was about. The pizza is delicious, the staff is friendly and the pinball machines are nostalgic if you haven’t been your missing out 10/10 recommend.

We stopped by while biking around the neighborhood and were amazed by how friendly the staff was at Pinball Pizzeria, how wonderful the food was, and by how delightful the selection was. They offered to let us keep our bikes inside, they welcomed us so warmly and it was such a delight. We got the Trompo Pizza and it was incredibly delicious and filling. There were two levels and plenty of TVs with sports on the top level. We have leftovers and we are excited to go back and try more pizza, pasta, and subs.
