I had such a satisfying meal here. The baked potato was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the pork spare ribs were incredibly tender and delicious, definitely something I would order again. The staff made the whole experience even better with their friendly and attentive service. Everything came out fresh and tasted amazing. This place truly delivers on both quality and hospitality.

Been coming here for 30 years. Their ribs are my absolute favorite and are one of, if not the best in the world and yes I have been to Franklin and LA BBQ and all over Lockhart. The ribs are outstanding. The rest of their BBQ is also outstanding and this is one place where the sides are as good as the meats. Still killing it after all these years!

Stopped by Pizzitola’s Heritage BBQ today and I’m so glad we did… The menu is amazing. Everything is made from scratch. The Brisket Enchiladas were so good, but Mama Pizzitola's Famous Banana Pudding elevated the meal to the next level of goodness… No wonder the place has been around since 1935!

Warm and welcoming with great service! BBQ was top notch and the pickled vegetables were amazing! If you’re there on a Friday/Saturday the brisket enchiladas are amazing!

This is hands down the best barbecue in Houston you can argue with whoever you want. The service is talked to you the atmosphere is nice and gentle and the food is amazing. I guarantee if you come eat here you probably will be biased to any other barbecue you ever have afterwards

I cannot believe that this is the first time I've been here during my entire life living here in Houston AND being a graduate of St. High School. I'LL BE BACK! Loved the brisket enchiladas with jalapenos on top. ( Fridays and Saturdays only)

Best bbq in Houston? I think so!! This place had such amazing food all around. The brisket enchiladas my bf ordered blew my mind they were so flavorful I got a classic dinner plate of brisket with potato salad and pinto beans - brisket was tender and smoky alone but the BBQ sauce compliments the brisket soooo well, potato salad and beans were just as delicious :-) Service was excellent and the gentleman who took our order was kind enough to make suggestions Honorable mention to the house made lemonade it was perfect combination of sweet and tangy! Please try this place!

Go visit Pizzitola's as fast as you can. I stopped by a few weeks ago for the first time looking for a new bbq joint and I was amazed and kind of mad at myself for having never been here before. We stopped in a Saturday afternoon and tried the weekend special brisket enchiladas and a 2 meat sampler plate. All of it was amazing. The brisket enchiladas were so good I came back a week later to have them again. Easily one of Houston's best local dishes around. Don't sleep on it. As for my bbq parter, they got a 2 meat plate for $16 which was unbelievable. It came with 3 pork ribs and 2 generous slices of brisket. I couldn't believe how low the price was for the amount we got. The ribs were easily the highlight of the plate but the brisket came correct on its own as well. The sides we got were good but hard to focus on next to the bbq. Next we got a slice of chocolate cake at the recommendation of by bbq partner and when I thought I couldn't eat another bite I found myself eating most of the cake. The service was top notch and very friendly and attentive. The dining room was very clean and had many tvs around with various sports games on. 10 out of 10 recommend if you're in the mood for great bbq and don't need the hassle of line waiting.

Hidden gem; finally stopped in to check it out and was glad I did! The brisket and ribs were tender/tasty; the corn and the pecan pie (cooked on the pit!) were great specialties. I’ll definitely be back soon.

Big shout out the the rocking food & service!! The epic brisket burger is melt in your mouth & the ribs are delicious. The green beans are so flavorful & the cornbread is divine! Thank you Cindy for all your recommendations & the hospitality This place is a Houston icon!!! Can’t wait to return. Ready to try the nachos & the rest of the menu items !!

What a gem. I’ve probably driven by it 1000 times and never noticed it. It gives old-timey, hole-in-the wall, iykyk vibes with the regulars chatting up a storm, country music playing, waitress checking on you like a mother hen. But enough about the charming ambience- the food is the real star. I got pulled pork and fatty brisket, mac n cheese and beans. It came with a pitcher of bbq sauce that had a nice kick to it. The pulled pork came with a side of sweet bbq sauce- also delicious. Generous portions (I have to take home half). I can’t wait to come back. Did I mention it’s been around 90 years? That’s centuries in Houston years. This place has stood the test of time and is still delivering.

Tim, Everything was executed beautifully for our dads Surprise 90th birthday celebration. The venue was ideal for this event. All aspects were well managed. The food was served hot, and the staff and waitresses ensured that drinks and food were consistently available. They were very attentive to our guests and exceptionally friendly. Family and friends remarked that “the staff and waitresses were excellent”. Overall, I found it to be absolutely perfect and remarkable. A 10 out of 10. I would strongly recommend Pizzitola's Heritage BBQ for any catering, celebrations and social events. Sophia

Came here after living in the area for a decade and having never been here I regret never coming before. The brisket queso was so good and the ribs, brisket, and sausage plate were even better. The owner Tim introduced himself and the service could not have been better! 10/10 Food Service and Vibe

Robbie Page

Couldn’t recommend this place enough. The locals say it’s way better than Truth bbq. And the best part, there’s no line! We had great table service and everyone was very friendly. Amazing food. This is the go-to local home town barbecue joint. Ask for Cindy and Esteban when you come in, they’ve been working here for 30 years

Great historical place with great food and desserts. The people that are there have been there a long time and they are great. The food is always amazing. The BBQ is some of the best and the ribs were awesome. The chocolate sheet cake was truly phenomenal. Overall, highly recommended if you have not been before you will not be dissappointed.

This is a great spot for the friendliest of service and great food. We lucked out and they had an extra contender which is the big 7lb beef shank that we shared. Absolutely amazing as it was tender , juicy and enough for 3 people. The street corn is probably one of the best corn dishes I've had as well and the cornbread is .yummy also. Overall a great spot and just wish I saved room for dessert as it looked great as well.

I was in Houston for a week for work and tried exploring a few bbq spots during that week and this place was by far the best. The brisket had lots of flavor, great bark, turkey had good flavor as well and the smoked street corn was delicious and not something you typically see as a side menu option at a bbq restaurant. The service was great, very kind and welcoming. It was the end of the day, they were out of ribs and Mac and cheese so I didn’t get to try those, but if I’m ever in town again I plan to return to this restaurant

There is an excellent customer service focus. The employees were well trained. The brisket was very good and have healthy portions . The atmosphere was nice very clean and well maintained. Great place for lunch or when the desire for barbecue hits.

Victoria Sledz

They are a popular bbq place and with good reason. The service is outstanding. It’s one of the few BBQ spots that provide table service and their staff is great. Despite getting busy quickly at lunch time, they checked on us often. I had the their ribs, turkey & brisket and it was delicious- a combined pound of meat. I opted for the Texas Caviar & Brussels sprouts and I was very pleased. The restaurant is rather historical. Restrooms were clean. Plenty of free parking.

Pizzitola’s Heritage BBQ offered great customer service, but I was disappointed with the small portions and lack of seasoning. The chicken was unfortunately undercooked. While the staff was friendly, the quality and quantity of the food did not meet expectations.
