The Hit List: New Houston Restaurants To Try Right Now

"In a city where Neapolitan and New York-style slices run the pizza game, we’re especially thankful for Gold Tooth Tony’s, the Heights pizza joint turning out some brilliant and hefty Detroit-style pizza. Each slice, made of fluffy buttered dough and smothered in glistening cheese with edges crisper than a fresh line-up—could easily be a meal on their own. There are classic options like cheese and margarita pizza, but we like to get the more decadent varieties, like “The Griz,” that tastes like a buffalo-chicken-bacon explosion. And with some of the crispiest wings on the northside of Houston, we’re convinced that everything coming out of this small-but-mighty counter service joint is flawless. We’d camp out for one of the few tables inside, or stand outside and eat under the neon glow of the restaurant. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
