Best lunch deal in Houston. Where else can you get a pizza made exactly how you like for under $10? Not a thin crust, but not deep dish either. You can also get MASSIVE salads. Burgers and fries were good, too - according to my lunch mates. Huge outdoor (covered) eating area.

The pizza and wings were amazing! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. It was amazing sons ask the families with their kids enjoying one another and great food! Definitely a vibe! The margaritas are good as well.

OMG! This place is special! It was packed, and I see why. The food was AMAZING. We got the small Super Duper and 8pc wings (they only have one flavor). We actually ate twice because of the portion sizes. Even though they're a high volume restaurant, they don't sacrifice quality over quantity. We would definitely recommend them to anyone in the Houston area.

Stopped by to try the famous pizza and it did not disappoint. I heard this location is a bit better than the others so opted for this one. We started with bread sticks and wings and they were both delicious. The bread is nice and soft and had a really good flavor. The wings were actually so good. Nice and crunchy and nice hot sauce to them also super fresh. The pizza came out nice and hot. Very cheesy and soft hand tossed. I ordered a Alfredo pasta with shrimp and it was okay. It was a little on the bland side. The other foods ordered stole the show for sure. I live far from this location but it was worth the drive and will be back. Nice and big inside and staff were nice. Overall good place for the family.

Pizza are good. It took them abit longer but good taste. Sweet tea is good. Customer service is great, the lady very friendly. 1 lunch pizza (3 toppings) and 1 sweet/unsweet tea = $12 (after tax). Parking is plenty but make sure to be there early. They have security at parking I will come back with my coworkers!

A friend told me about how good the pizza was at this spot, so I decided to pick up a couple of pizzas and watch March Madness. Ordered 2 large pepperoni and sausage pizzas. Overall, it’s better than the major pizza chains, but not the best pizza I’ve tasted. Also, it was extremely greasy. 50/50 if I go back if this is the best pizza Houston has to offer.

Lily (The manager) this message is specifically for YOU!!! I come eat here 2/3 times a WEEK! Yes a WEEK! The food always on point, never had any issues, the service is good. But tonight my family & I had a horrible night! The food was way under cooked to the point to where you could see & eat dough! When this was brought to YOUR attention you walked over to our table thinking you were king Tuck or something! Girl sit down! 🪑 you argued with me saying that wasn’t dough & that it was not UNDER cooked! You still charged for the appetizers that were dry as your attitude 🙄 I will never come here again! The manger & district need to look into this matter & the way you handled this situation! Look at the dough!!! Look at that photo! I sure hope YOUR family consumes this & the manager argues with you the way you did tonight!

Staff are welcoming, they have a bar area, dining area, patio, as well as a To-Go section available, lots of options, and I would recommend the Super Duper pizza, fresh ingredients and takes less than 15 mins to get your order ready, highly recommend to stop by this historic place

Went for lunch with the family and the pizza was good, stuffed crust pepperoni, good buffalo chicken salad, good grilled chicken salad. The breadsticks are not so good, the pickle chips are plentiful but subpar. I don't care how good the food is, if the server has a full beard! Please have the server wear a beard net or something! Almost barfed when our food was brought out. Just the thought of beard hair getting in our food was gross. Obviously a delicate subject, I'm sure the server has the restaurant management over a barrel.

Everything was just mid. We got the mozzarella sticks and they were good but nothing to write home about. The fried mushrooms however were just bad, they were overly battered and didn't taste like mushrooms at all. The pizza, Alfredo were okay, reminded me of Olive Garden. The desserts were good bur doesn't make up for the rest of the meal.

I don't have any complaints about this visit. The pizza was good. The deep dish crust was crispy, like sourdough bread. The wings were cooked perfectly. Battered, then fried until Crispy and drenched in buffalo wing sauce. The kids enjoyed themselves and loved the food. The restaurant itself was nice. Lots of tvs and clean. Service was good, except the hostess looked like she was disgusted when she had to seat people. I even detected a grimace a couple of times. Can't imagine that job being ultra difficult. I highly recommend visit to Spanky's.

It was my first time trying fried jalapeños, and they were great! Fried pickles are my favorite and they were delicious also! The fried onions are basically onion rings but were also great! The pasta was very mid. The shrimp were seasoned well, but the pasta was very bland. No taste at all! But overall the service was great and quick!

A super fun (and busy) place for sports games!! The pizza here is so tasty and such a good pride. My aunts ordered the Alfredo and loved it. The breadsticks that come with it look so good, too! Clean restaurant, friendly staff, and plenty of parking in their lot. I got the pepperoni passion personal size pizza (thin crust only available when you get personal size). They do really load it with pepperoni!! Soooo good.

Book marked this place a long time ago and finally had a pizza & pasta night. I honestly wished I ate dine in so i could try the drink menu but they were closing soon so take out was already working out in my favor. Entering in, the environment was lively; even for a Monday. The young lady at the to go counter explained the menu nicely, and had our food out in 20 minutes. Best $$ i've spent on pizza in awhile! The pasta was real cheesy and I loved everyyy bite of it. The pizza fed my ole' man to a T and had us comfortable in our netflix and chill night. Definitely coming back sooner than later. Thanks!

This is the original Spanky's. It's been around forever & I see why. We ordered a large pizza & was able to do half flavors. We had spinach & garlic on 1 side & meat lovers on the other. The pizza was delicious! We also ordered wings. They only have 2 flavors, but they were delicious as well. I had a mango & strawberry margarita that was good as well. I took 1 star away for the fried mushrooms. I didn't like them at all. Our server was great & we got our food quickly. There are plenty of tvs so if you want to check out a game while enjoying great pizza & wings this is the place.

Spanky's pizza is my only go-to here. The chicken Alfredo one is my favorite. The wings be eh sometimes to me. I usually pick-up. The service is fine. The vibe inside gives old-school weekend family spot.

Pizza is so yummy. Reminds me of NY style flavor. Took my children for a lil Saturday date and was not disappointed. It's not a new establishment so it had that homey feel. Customer service is good and cool for people who wanna watch the game and drink or for families

The food was excellent. I ordered the Stromboli Italian Club and it was great. The crust it's baked in is delicious and the size is amazing for the price. I had a slice of the veggie pizza my wife ordered and the pizza is very good. Ever loved the pizza crust. There's a ton of seating and lots of people eating and celebrating. Had a lively feel. We saw many items we want to try if we come back.

My best friend from college owns this restaurant!! To say it is delicious is an understatement!!! It has been a locally owned restaurant for decades!!! Her father owned it and then passed it down to her and her sister!! Some of their employees have been here since the beginning!!! This is the original location!! The new one is even swankier!!! They also have a barbecue restaurant named Gabby's, but let's focus on this one!!!! First off, the cheese sticks!! Just get them!!! Great way to start your meal!!! The marinara sauce is to die for!!!! The garlic and basil!!! So much flavor!! Don't forget to ask for a side of ranch!!! My daughter ate 5!!! I have only ever had one of their pizzas and there's a reason for that! It's absolutely incredible!!!! The personal margarita pizza. No questions. Just get it!!!! Pesto instead of sauce!! Topped with tons of cheese and tomato slices!! I cant even!!! I've never had anything like it!!!!!! The atmosphere in here is amazing!! The staff is happy to be here and all have smiles on their face!!! When the owners take care of their employee, it shows in their work ethic!! Amazing staff!!!

Great spot for a quick bite to eat. I really liked the option to have personal sized pizza, it was perfect for just one. I ordered the grilled chicken pizza , personal size and then a Cesar salad on the side. It was great!

I came with my family to watch the Texans game. Halfway through us watching the game some lady in charge of the TV named "Lilly" said she couldn't please everybody and was very unprofessional when I brought my concern to her attention. This place isn't cheap for her to be very rude. I wil never come here again for any game!!

An H-Town staple for local pizza. A must have if you have not yet! The ambience is excellent for dining with friends or family. Great place to watch games! The service is Always on point with experienced staff!

We have always loved Spanky's. I think it's some of the best pizza in Houston but lately the pizza has not been great, it definitely has gone down hill. Not sure if they changed up their recipe or if it's the folks in the kitchen, but the past few times I've ordered, the dough on the NY style was undercooked. It was raw, soft and chewy. The crust was the best part but now it's served doughy, raw and flavorless. What a disappointment.

Absolutely love this place! Not quite the original, but the food is just as good! Remember coming in as a kid to the original building and it was always so gooooood!! This place doesn't disappoint! The wait at lunch time was about 15-20 minutes but it was worth it! The pizza was great our eyes were bigger than out stomachs so a small would have been enough for both of us as we took more than half of the medium home! The service was great, my only complaint is that it's terribly cold in there! I get it the ovens the people the drinks it would get warm real quick, so bring a lite jacket and you'll be fine!

Today we had the large pepperoni passion with added Italian sausage and it was delicious. We also had the jalapeño and onion ring appetizer but honestly I'm not too fond of the onion rings because they are so thin and the onion comes out when you bite into it. Our server was great the ambiance is casual and this establishment stays very busy. It's clean for the most part the cleaning staff is on the ball quickly cleaning tables and floors making it ready for the next guests. It is somewhat loud but tolerable. This is close enough to Chicago pizza for me. The salads are fresh and large enough for more than one person. Everything we have had here is great and I do recommend coming to try it out yourself. We try to get something different every visit and are always full and happy with our choices. The sweet tea here is also great with all the refills you can drink. Awesome job by everyone on staff including managers.

Listen, this review is about the pizza and the pizza only! When I tell you spanky's has some of the best pizza in Houston that is exactly what I mean!! I first found out about spanky's on DoorDash we ordered the super duper with stuffed crust and it was absolutely amazing! It had tons of meat, it was fresh, it was hot and delicious!! We ordered it again a couple of weeks later thinking that there is no way this pizza is going to be as good as it was the first time and it was!! They are a must try if you are going to be in the vicinity of hobby airport this one on telephone road is a must stop by and try. You will not be disappointed. I'll be back super duper soon! Can't speak on the ambience, but they must be doing something right because the parking lot stays packed.

I have been looking for a pasta place for a long time. I can honestly say I found my new favorite restaurant. I just had mouth surgery any this was made with love and perfection. I got the three meatballs with mozzarella and the Chicken Alfredo. It was simply delicious. Portion sizes are huge and definitely affordable. Can't wait to order here again.

Pkasters! You know what I'm going to say. No. Not close to NYC style. Too doughy. BUT the pizza was delicious. The ingredients was fresh on my cheese and spinach pie. I like the inside as well. Very lively and noisy and great spot for friends. Next time I'll stay to get the full vibe. If you pop in let them know PKast sent you. IG- #Pkast

They have good pizza. I prefer it over many other local places and it's always hot when it arrives. They should offer French fries because that's all the menu is missing. No complaints. The veggie lasagna is always a hit!

Born and raised on Spankys but the last 5 times ( didn't want to give up on yalll) our pizza has been ABSOLUTELY CRAP! The pizza is raw or completely burnt! Never thought I'd say this but yall have lost a customer forever.

Spanky's serves up some heaping big sandwiches! Dropped by for a birthday celebratory lunch and ordered a Stromboli club. That thing was huge and filled with copious amounts of meats. Other members of my party had the individual lunch pizzas, custom made to order and bigger than most mini pizzas. The food was fresh and hot and the servers fast and personable. Who could ask for more? Not me, I had to take home leftovers!

For those that won't read my whole review: Eat here and get some pizza for crying out loud! I've been coming here for a while now with my girlfriend and it is consistently a hit. It's always packed on the weekends (for a good reason) but the wait usually isn't too bad, definitely worth it. You walk in and it's somewhat like a sports bar mixed with a family pizzeria. There's lots of seating and TVs everywhere so you can watch all the sporting events. The staff is always very friendly and helpful! The restaurant has been fairly clean every time we come as well. We ALWAYS get the New York style pizza, half chicken alfredo and half pepperoni, spinach, and pineapple. This time we got it with stuffed crust (yeah they got that here) and it was good to try but it was kind of heavy; we're going to stick to the regular crust but I'm glad we tried it. The chicken alfredo here is my favorite pizza of all time. The moment I take a bit of that pizza, all my worries disappear, not even exaggerating. The mixture of all the flavors are perfectly balanced with just the right texture. The drinks here are pretty good too, they're strong and flavorful. Overall, Spanky's Pizza is definitely a top contender for my choice as a last meal. If you haven't eaten here then I'm sorry for your loss...it's an investment on your happiness. (I meant to take a picture of the whole pie but I was too busy devouring it and forgot so here's a picture of my last slice, which probably only lasted 10 seconds on my plate)

the managers let go one of the best bartender and added a server to bartende on Thursday now... he is horrible as one... not a people person.. my husband and I had Thursday date night and now we will change it to Friday nights... Justin is horrible, keep him as a server and bring Chrizetta back...

Good pizza and fun spot. The super duper is similar to the supreme, we ordered the NY style but thought it was supposed to be thin and came out poofy like Pizza Hut's. We ordered the small which was enough for two people, maybe even four people if you order sides. The baked spaghetti is pretty good, and the chili cheese fries were standard and a huge portion. The fried mushrooms were also good, everything was made fresh. I'd come back here for the options and variety that they have compared to large chain pizza places. Take out orders were pretty fast on a Sunday.

If you want a great place for pizza and wings, you gotta visit Spanky's. I honestly have been coming here since my early teens, and still, they are doing it. You have to realize people are hard to please regardless of the type of food, especially in Houston, so for thus establishment being open for so long has to show that the food is worth it. I always go to the 610 and Telephone location, aka Original, and there is another one in Pasadena, which they opened up a few years back. If you're in the area and craving pizza, give Spanky's a try.

The establishment's decorations and it's environment is a 5/5. My team and I (8 people total) were greeted by a waitress and guided us to a table in the middle. We were then asked for drinks but all of us got water. The menu is on a QR code on the table so you can use your mobile device. We got three pizzas: margarita, chicken Alfredo, and super duper. All hand tossed. The margarita pizza was ok in my opinion. 3/5 overall. Ooey stretchy cheese was great I almost choked. Didn't really taste much that differentiates from a regular cheese pizza. The chicken alfredo pizza was good. 4/5 literally chicken alfredo without the pasta on top of pizza. Although my team didn't eat most of it I finished it for them. The super duper pizza was good. 4/5 it's similar to a supreme pizza and it's heavy on every distinct flavor Overall, 4/5. Would I go again with my team or friends/family? Next time this place is recommended because I did not try most of the menu.

What a fun place to enjoy dinner while we are visiting Houston! Spanky's has a great menu with a variety of selections to choose from. I enjoyed one of the best salads I've had in a very long time (Greek salad with chicken). My family really enjoyed their meal too. We went on a Friday night and it happened to be St Patrick's day, but we only had to wait about 10 mins for a table. The service was great and friendly! The breadstick and fries were a little bland but everything else was delicious! It's a little noisy in the restaurant but it was a fun dinner! Also, we asked for avocado but they don't carry it.

Went here last Saturday and had a great time at the bar with friends. Bar staff was pleasant, drinks were good. I had the Philly cheesesteak and my friends had the pizza. Pizza was definitely tasty and full of meat. The sauce was perfect because it wasn't overly saucy. Will definitely be back as I signed up with their rewards program.

I travel a lot. Been all over the place. I eat out a great deal and rarely take the time to do this. Truth is most of the time there's something bad to say and I'm just not into it. This good was so good here we are. And got here fast so I thought oh no. I'm here to tell they aren't messing around. Can't even eat it all. Can't wait to come back down here. I highly recommend Spanky's'
