Bollo Woodfired Pizza is undeniably a popular spot in Montrose, known for its mouthwatering wood-fired pizzas, tantalizing salads, and delectable Italian dishes. Nestled in the Montrose district, the restaurant boasts a cozy and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a satisfying lunch experience.
We recently had lunch here with my family after a long day of museum hopping.
Let's talk about the star of the show--the pizza. Bollo takes pride in crafting their pizzas with fresh, top-notch ingredients that are cooked to perfection in their wood-fired oven. The thin and crispy crust serves as a delightful canvas for the generous and flavorful toppings. I couldn't resist trying their Margherita pizza, adorned with fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and fragrant basil. Each bite of pizza was perfectly soft, crunchy and expertly prepared, leaving me craving more.
The caprese salad at Bollo is no slouch either. No all caprese salads are the same and this one was a simple yet delightful dish that showcases the vibrant freshness of its ingredients. From the vine-ripened and juicy tomatoes to the creamy and luscious mozzarella, every component is perfectly balanced. The addition of fragrant basil ties it all together, creating a salad that is both refreshing and satisfying.
Yummy!
Now, let's indulge in some dessert--the tiramisu. Bollo's rendition of this classic Italian treat is truly a decadent delight. The ladyfingers soaked in espresso impart a robust coffee flavor, while the generous dollop of whipped cream adds a luscious creaminess. Each bite of the tiramisu was an indulgence, providing a rich and satisfying conclusion to my meal. Not sure it was freshly made but we all agreed it tasted like it.
While the food at Bollo Woodfired Pizza is undeniably delicious, I must note that the service, while friendly, fell short of exceptional. Our server could benefit from some improvements to elevate the overall dining experience. Meaning he lacked friendliness and patience when explaining the menu.
However, this minor setback does not overshadow the culinary delights that await you at Bollo.
In conclusion, Bollo Woodfired Pizza is a great choice for pizza enthusiasts in Houston. Their pizzas are crafted with care, the caprese salad is a refreshing delight, and the tiramisu provides a sweet finale. Though the service could use some improvement, the food was enjoyable, and the inviting interior adds to the charm of your experience.
