I am glad that the quality had not changed from when I first tried it in 2009ish. The pizza is nice in thin but you can still taste the crust and sauce. There is the right amount of toppings and cheese as well. All that plus a very reasonable price for a huge slice of fresh made pizza. We also tried the cheesesteak for the first time and were not let down. It’s almost like a poboy break with the crunch crust but soft center. They have parking as well which is awesome. I have no complaints at all!
So Luigi's Pizza is definitely higher up on the top 10 Houston Pizza restaurants. Since grading pizza is so subjective I have applied a little structure to "Pizza Thursday" that helps YOU make up your own mind about this establishment.
The grading is 1-5... with 5 being the best or most.
Crust Thickness - 2 moderately thin, but perfect NY style crust
Crust Flavor - 5 tasty with perfect shape and edge
Cheese amount and elasticity - 5 had proper amout of stretch and well proportioned
Topping quantity - 5 excellent quantity and dispersion
Sauce Quantity - 2 perfect for NY style pizza and just enough for what I like
Sauce Flavor - 5 very nice
Atmosphere Cleanliness - 5 simple pizza joint, nothing special or polished.. good music and if you're inside there are a half of a dozen tables and a tv to watch
Atmosphere noise level - 5 very quiet and easy to have a conversation
Day After - 4 it kept well and was still really good.
Comments: overall I grade Luigi's at a solid 4.5 out of 5. The only downside was the side salad I ordered. The Styrofoam box was too small to properly add dressing and mix without making a mess. But don't let that deflect from the pizza...
The Alameda location is perfect for sit down as well as take-out. There was a soda fountain and dessert choices as well. With Axelrad next door, and just adjacent to the HCC campus I'm sure they do a good pizza by the slice business for lunch (very affordablepizza by the slice). The Pizza was very good, and worthy of return visits. I grabbed a menu for delivery as well since it's only a few blocks from home.
Recommend the bread sticks, so crunchy and pillowy on the inside. I had a margherita slice, fresh basil. crust is phenomenal on its own, you can smell it from the parking lot. The pepperoni 🍕 was so good, not greasy and the cheese to sauce ratio was good. The gelato was just ok. Laid back pizzeria.
Edit: the only thing that would make this better would be real plates and tables with chairs outside; instead of picnic tables.
Pretty decent pizza. Cannolis I could've skipped. Having dogs walk through while I eat is not my thing but overall a good experience.

Great service, helpful staff. Inside, outside dining. Spaghetti would have been great but the sauce portion was so small the Spaghetti was too dry to eat. Meatballs were tender and good. If you like your salad mostly lettuce core and spinach leaf then you'll enjoy that but prefer regular lettuce. If I return I will try a slice instead.
Luigi's pizza was phenomenal! The dough, the cheese, toppings - everything was perfectly balanced. The pizza was so good I ate an entire medium (12") in one sitting! I was a little disappointed some of my crust and underside of the pizza was burnt, but it didn't detract from the flavour. The place is small, but they have outdoor seating available if you can't get a spot inside. If I'm back in Houston I'd come back to this place in a heartbeat!
First time coming, had the meatball sub and onion rings, food was good. Place is kinda small, so it was pretty crowded.
Luigi's is a fun spot to grab a bite with friends. Its mine and my best friends go-to spot on days where I work late. It also shares a beautiful outside area with a neighboring bar. If outdoors aren't your thing, there's an air conditioned covered patio as well. The person with the red dreds has been our cashier every time we've gone and they are super nice and helpful. The food isn't 5-star or anything, the sauce they use for the pasta dishes is a little off and the pizza slices are occasionally burned a bit, but its still fine for the price and the atmosphere. Nice place to hang with friends
I did not intend to go to this restaurant at first. I was trying to go to the coffee shop next door but it was cold and raining outside so I decided to go to Luigis instead. I was very surprised to find a really good pizzeria kind of like New York style pizzas and calzones and they even have gelato, the food was delicious. They have plenty of outdoor seating but very little indoor seating they’ve got outdoor heaters in next-door there’s a bar with a bunch of hammocks and interesting patio.
This is a fun place to go to with friends and buddies to hang out and enjoy some Italian food pizza lasagna or calzones with gelato for dessert.
I always love coming to this place. My friends all drink, but I don't, so while they're getting busy at Axelrad, I walk over here and grab a pizza and soda AND ICE CREAM. The pizza is always so delicious and their ice cream is almost always top notch and unique! Definitely recommend giving this place a try, I'm sure you'll love it! (:
