Star Pizza Houston Reviews
I’ve been visiting Star Pizza on Norfolk for years, and it’s hands down the best representation of Chicago-style pizza in the Houston area. I grew up in Cicero, Illinois, so Chicago pizza is more than food to me—it’s comfort and nostalgia. Every time I’m craving something that reminds me of home, Star Pizza is where I go. The Ben’s deep dish pizza is a must. Thick, hearty, and packed with flavor—exactly how it should be. The staff is always great. The kitchen manager regularly comes out to greet guests, which really shows how much they care. We usually get Gaven as our waiter, and he always makes the experience pleasant and easy. If you’re from Chicago or just want the real deal, this place delivers every time.
The Pizza is always crispy, and delicious. The pasta's deffintly taste like made from scratch. There is a pleasant atmosphere, and check out the lunch buffet.
Everything from the atmosphere, the staff, and the food was perfect. We ate more food, but I forgot all about taking pictures when our delicious pizzas came out.
Pizza and cheesy bread were delicious! 10/10 highly recommend.
Fantastic and delicious as always. All the locations are great, but this one let's you leave your mark. Service and atmosphere is great.
My coworker and I stopped in for the lunch buffet at Star Pizza, and it was sensational from start to finish. The moment we walked in, Amanda greeted us with such warmth that it set the tone for the entire visit. The buffet itself was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and offering a wide variety of options that made it easy to try a little of everything. Gaby took incredible care of us throughout the meal; her attentiveness and timing were spot‑on without ever feeling rushed. A special shout‑out to Luis, who went above and beyond by bringing out some of his personal favorites for us to sample. That extra touch made the experience feel personal and memorable. This team truly delivered a 10/10 lunch. Great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’re already planning our next visit, and I highly recommend Star Pizza to anyone looking for a delicious and enjoyable meal.
Star Pizza never disappoints! Every time I order, the food is fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. The crust is always perfect, the toppings are generous, and you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the whole experience just feels welcoming. It’s one of those spots you can always count on for a great meal, whether you’re dining in or picking up. If you’re craving good pizza with even better service, Star Pizza is the place to go. Highly recommend!
It was our first time here and it was a pleasant experience. We ordered one deep dish pizza, and 2thin crust. It was surprisingly really good. First time having deep dish so I really can't give a solid opinion on how good it was. Go for the most part , it was pretty good especially the thin crust. I would definitely go again.The prices were reasonable,and service was good.
Visited here for the first time in 10yrs and couldnt be any happier with the experience. I had a planned bday lunch and I arrived early to ask if there was any way I could leave some cupcakes with them as we were gonna be back in an hour, I was greeted with a friendly lady (im sorry i didnt catch her name but you know who you are!!) who accomodated my request. The best part, after we were done with our meal, our amazing server Gavin, and the same lady came out, unprompted, with all I had brought, plus lit the birthday candles and sung my friend happy birthday. Could not have asked for a better outcome!!
Star Pizza Review (5 Stars) Star Pizza genuinely offers a unique style of pizza-making. The high-quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation result in a phenomenal pie that tastes homemade yet elevated. The crust is perfect, and the flavor balance is excellent. This isn't your standard pizza joint; it’s a distinct and delicious experience. Friendly staff and consistently great food earn them a solid five stars.
Delicious pizza! We had the New York style pepperoni pizza and added mushrooms 🤤 they are not shy with the topping or cheeeeese! Loved the nostalgic atmosphere you can even make your mark on the walls here! Excellent service, clean and well lit area, security to watch the parking lot and a nice patio.
This place is amazing and a must try!!!! We ordered a large Chicago style and a mini New York for our 7yo son. Both were AMAZING! The crust was so buttery and delicious, the marinara and meats were bursting with flavor. We also ordered the meatballs for our app and they were so delicious! The restaurant is clean, the staff is very friendly. Overall, 100/10. We will definitely be back and have a new favorite pizza joint!
This is my second visit and I can't believe this is my first review. I've been here once before and loved it. It was a Saturday night and it was crowded so we got to eat on the second floor...which I didn't realize they had. The menu is quite extensive so there was something for everyone. Even keto pizzas, my wife got one, the cauli-keto starburst pie, it was very tasty, lots of veggies and meats on a cauliflower crust. I got the 8 inch New York style pie wit' lots of meats and veggies and fresh jalapenos. We shared a pint of Twisted X beer. I purchased a t shirt.....this may help me remember to come back more often. Great food and service and reasonable prices. 6 adults and 2 toddlers enjoyed some amazing pie and pasta and a few libations. My wife and I shared a pint draft of St. Arnold's Watermelon Cider....never tried this before and it was really good. My wife had the pasta salad and a side of fried baby potatoes. I enjoyed the meat lasagna with marinara sauce. We ordered a baked goat cheese appetizer with french bread for the table, it was enjoyed by all. The service by Norma was over the top. I wore my Star Pizza t shirt and they kept trying to put me to work....just sayin'....we'll be back for more of these goodies.
If you want really good and fresh deep dish pizza, Chicago style or thin crust, this is the place to be. Our server, Jessica greeted us with a smile, was attentive and gave good suggestions on what is good and tasty on the menu. (She mentioned the ones she already tried herself.) We chose a goat cheese appetizer( a dip) which was warm and delicious with black olives, sun dried tomatoes, italian seasoning and thin, light italian bread to dip. We chose a deep dish which we were able to split ( half pepperoni and the other half spinach and fresh mozzarella). The atmosphere has an eclectic and artistic vibe on the inside and the outside literally looks like a house with a huge porch.
Star Pizza delivers more than 5 stars to the quality and flavors of their pizzas a day desserts, sincere customer interactions, and the relaxed environment indoor and outdoor. The ingredients taste fresh with a mama's style love. We enjoyed the deep dish meat lovers style pizza and a gluten free pepperoni pizza. If you want a great pizza in Houston this is the spot. We took a piece of strawberry cream cake home to share later and it too was a world class homerun. The environment does have several mobility challenges. Take some extra steps to communicate with the restaurant about your visit if dining with patrons with mobility challenges.
First time dining in. Such a neat spot! It’s very family friendly. We walked in around 12:45pm and were seated right away. Loved the art and doodles all over the walls and ceiling. My toddler was provided a folded colouring sheet and crayons to pass time. The food portions are generous and delicious! Loved the Starburst Chicago-styled pizza - highly recommend it!
The specialty pizza was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a decade. The crust on the deep dish was so good that I saved it and took it home to reheat and eat it. Even the cheesy garlic bread was excellent. The Chicago style in my mind was always a pie style with sauce over the top and really heavy on toppings, this was not that. Still, excellent food but if you go expecting the pie style, this isn’t that. 100% my favorite pizza joint in Houston.
Fantastic! I love this little restaurant. It’s in a very old building that has a lot of history on the walls, a lot to look at. I love places like this that are different, unique. I ordered the chicken, avocado & bacon sandwich on wheat bread with potatoes. The sandwiches come with a side of pasta or baby potatoes. My friend had the pasta, so I was able to taste both sides. I loved the potatoes. They were roasted and just the right amount of crispy. The pasta salad was seasoned perfectly, and tasted delicious. The sandwich was very good as well! The waiter was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. If you’re looking for someplace different from the every day, usual chain-restaurant, give Star Pizza a try. Hopefully you will find this place worthy of returning again and again, as I did.

This pizza is like no other! My parents brought us here every year for a treat growing up. So many great memories and delicious slices
One of the best deep dish pizzas you'll find in Houston. Love the location and atmosphere- highly recommend the deep dish but the traditional pie is good too
Loved the server, so polite & service was quick. Pizza was good! I went here while my daughters were somewhere else.

The best pizza in Houston. Reasonable prices, good service , easy parking. Large portions of toppings.

Great food, very delicious! waiter was attentive & patient with our grandchildren. Would go in off peak hours, very small place. Plus a lot of signage indicating not to leave items in cars-daytime…
I ordered a pizza, cheese bread, and a salad. Enjoyed them all. delivery was quick and the food was warm. No complaints at all. It’d get it again.
Superb!!! Great value for $$. Fresh ingredients. Super friendly staff. Do support your local businesses.
Man, this pizza was wicked. In a good way. If you are a cheese lover— this is for you. It was almost hard to eat because of how much cheese there was but once I popped it back in the air fryer later in the night, it was better. maybe cause the cheese had settled a bit. I believe we ordered the chefs special.. it’s the last pizza on the list. I’d recommend this place for all the deep dish, cheese lovers. 😊
First time trying Chicago deep dish and star pizza did not disappoint. Generous with toppings, I have trouble finishing a medium one myself even though I was starving. Taste was rich and robust, though a little bit of a cholesterol overload for me coz I ordered with extra pepperoni and cheese. YOLO!!! Back for more next time I am in town
Star Pizza is a Houston classic for a reason, it's absolutely yummy! They serve up great pizza that's consistently delicious! The overall value is excellent, as the prices are good for the quality and portions you get. The staff is good too, always friendly and helpful. However, be warned that parking is bad. Dealing with the lot or street parking can be a real headache, especially during peak hours. You'll definitely want to factor in a little extra time just for parking, but the tasty pizza makes it worth the effort! Love how they provide food for Cactus Music events!
The wait was long, we were really hungry decided to skip the appetizers as it was all bread. I wish they would have a different selection other than salad to snack on while waiting for food. Pizza was good live the crunch from the first bite, and the sauce was a bit sweet but good. Our waitress provided excellent service and was very attentive, staff very friendly. I live far from here but if I were ever in the area I would come back for another visit.
It was okay nothing special, the Chicago style definitely better than the New York style but overall it's not worth waiting over an hour for. The service was drowsy.
This place is consistently regarded as one of the best pizza restaurants in Houston. Now returning again some five years after my first visit, I'm pleased to see that hasn't changed. It is clearly po…

We were in the mood for deep dish pizza, and saw that Star pizza had it, so we decided to visit. The restaurant is very casual, with murals and graffiti. We started with the baked goat cheese, …
First, I have to say that the service was fantastic. My waitress was super nice. There was zero wait time. The booth was comfortable. And to be fair the Caesar salad was really good. But the pizza was disgusting. Burnt around the edges and undercooked in the middle. All I could really taste was the sauce because the pizza mostly just consisted of sauce. I had the Thursday lunch special, which is a personal pizza of your choice with a salad for $12.99, drink included. I arrived right at noon. My salad came out quickly because as I said, my server was awesome. The pizza took about half an hour. I wish I had gone anywhere else.
waited 1 hour for two mediocre pizza. ridiculous. Save yourself time and go to papa John's.
Wow the buffet really was disappointing I did have 4 tiny slices I paid 15 dollars Iv had better frozen pizza from my freezer NEVER AGAIN \nYou made you money off me!\n\nVERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER
When Dominos is better than a place you used to believe was the best Pizza in Houston? You just lost a decades long customer. Your Pizza is sucking! I

This was the nastiest pizza I’ve ever had. Literally gross. From the dough to the cheese, don’t know how this place has 4.5 stars. I would give it a 1 star AT BEST and that’s because the service was decent. Literally cardboard would taste better. Ordered “NY style” and Chicago deep dish style. 🤢
