The Best New Restaurants in Houston, Texas in July 2025 | Eater Houston

"From chef John Avila and the owners of barbecue joint Henderson & Kane General Store, this pizzeria aims to celebrate Second Ward with a side of fun. A nostalgic nod to East End Big Humphrey’s pizza joint from the 70s, Pinballz slings homemade pizzas topped with locally sourced ingredients in a retro-styled atmosphere. Some of the most compelling specials include the Trompo Pizza, topped with slow-cooked pork and pineapple; the Chorizo Fuego, which features chorizo, salsa verde, and a cheese-stuffed crust; and a H&K Brisket pizza topped with Henderson & Kane brisket, blue cheese, balsamic, and caramelized onion. Diners can test their skills on the John Wick-themed pinball machine between cheesy slices, subs, wings, and tiramisu tres leches." - Brittany Britto Garley
