"Terrence Gallivan, the chef behind the shuttered Pass & Provisions, makes his return with this crudo-slinging pizzeria, which promises Houstonians a refreshing balance of hot and cold dishes. Start with the oysters on the half shell, served with calamansi and pink peppercorn mignonette, or the hibiscus-cured salmon before devouring enticing pizzas like the mortadella-laced pie that’s drizzled in an earthy pistachio pesto and dotted with balsamic onions. The smoked maitake pizza, which is covered in scamorza cheese, tomatoes, and rosemary, is another worthy pizza pick before the essential finisher — pistachio soft-serve with a chocolate-covered cannoli shell. Insider tip: Bring your credit card, and be sure to take advantage of its walk-in seating at the bar and on the patio. Elro, which is cashless, only has seven tables available for reservation." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
