Spanky's Homemade Pizza & Bar

I got the margarita pizza, buffalo wings, and the homemade marinara meatball — and wow!! The wings were hands down the best (and biggest) I’ve ever had. The New York–style bread was delicious, and the pizza was perfect — my son and I even got to do the famous cheese pull with every slice! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I can’t wait to come back and bring the whole family!

Spanky's is an absolute gem! Every dish we tried was fantastic, and the overall experience was top-notch. The hot wings are hands down the best I've ever had – perfectly crispy with incredible flavor. The hot honey pepperoni pizza? It truly hits the spot with that amazing sweet and spicy kick. And you absolutely can't go wrong with the chicken Alfredo or the BBQ chicken pizza; both are bursting with flavor. Beyond the incredible food, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming, making for a great dining experience. Plus, the staff are consistently courteous, helpful, and timely, which just adds to the positive vibe. If you're looking for delicious food and a wonderful place to enjoy it, Spanky's is definitely the place to be!

The pizza was very good the crust, dough, and ingredients were all fresh. But the grilled chicken pizza we ordered was very basic. It was just pieces of chicken on top with no seasoning or flavor, and there were no veggies added either. Some chicken pieces were also not cooked well. Overall, it was a good experience and the service was excellent, but I think the choice of pizza was the problem

Mozzarella sticks were made fresh and tatty. Lasagna was yummy in a fancy setup with two breadsticks. Though the burger wasn't great. The pizza mediocre. It can be hit or miss. Service was heat

I ordered a large supreme today. The service was great, friendly, quick, and polite. They cut it in small strips like 12 pieces. I sure as hell didn't ask for that. I expected 8 as usual. It tasted bland and dry. I didn't enjoy it. $30 for a pizza ok, but disappointed. I have always considered Spankys a nice treat. Not this time.

It's nice to find places that leave such an impression that you find yourself craving their food! The first time I had the spinach and garlic pizza, it was love at first bite! The gluten free crust was perfectly cooked and the flavors were amazing and fresh! I don't work too far from the Spanky's on Spencer and I had been craving my favorite pizza so we went after work. It was busy so service was a bit slow, but when our pizzas came out, I could immediately tell that they were over cooked... I was disappointed because I had spoken so highly about how great the pizza was. I know that everyone can have an off night and that was not a typical visit, so I'll still go back. Hopefully next time will be better.

I have visited a few times for lunch as I have business in Pasadena requiring me to be there every other week. Latest visit was on 02/27/2025. The atmosphere is nice - we always sit on the bar side of the place and it is typically not super crowded on that side during the day. Our server, Alexis, is such a lovely person. She is kind, attentive and has a very engaging personality. She offers suggestions if you are having difficulty making a decision on any menu item. She is the top reason I like having lunch here. Alexis deserves recognition for the outstanding service she provides. I have ordered the Greek Salad, Chicken Tender Salad and the Super Duper Pizza. The pizza is always amazing - loaded with fresh toppings and super delicious. I prefer the original thin crust and it is just the right amount of crust for all of the tasty toppings. Overall a great place to have a delicious meal and enjoy yourself. (Sorry but I was so hungry that I only remembered to take photos after I dove into my pizza)

Disappointed in the service. We arrived at the restaurant and were told there would be a 25-minute wait which was no problem. I gave the host our name and number, but she repeated the number wrong, so I had to repeat it again. We decided to wait in the car for the text message. After 35 minutes passed with no update, I called to check on our spot, only to be told they had already texted us and gave our table away. It’s frustrating because I made sure the host had the correct number, and their mistake cost us our table! Instead of trying to make it right, they told us we’d have to wait again. We’ve been coming here for years, but this experience was really disappointing. Poor communication and lack of accountability from the staff made us our time and gas because of their error. I honestly should’ve talked to a manager because this type of service shouldn’t have happened! If this is the kind of service you want from employees who can’t even take down a phone number correctly, then be my guest.

Summary: I only did a call-in, carryout order but it was a quick & pleasant experience. (Seriously, have you had Maxxo'x on fairmont? That place's service is a nightmare.) Run down: I had coupon in the mail & finally caved in to try this place. I've wanted to try it but nervous because I wasn't familiar with the area. I've always heard good things about Spanky's. Had to try it for myself. Glad I did! I called, some one answered & took my order within 2 rings. She answered my questions & took my order. She said it would be ready in 20 mins. I got there in 25 & it was ready! I was greeted upon entry. No wait at the register. It was clean & inviting for the most part. I wasn't inside long. As a test, I ordered a plain cheese with stuffed crust & some buffalo tenders. It came with crinkle fries. It was good af! The pizza was hot. I loved the stuffed crust. I had to be sure they wouldn't mess up a simple order before I go full in on a new place in this economy. Well worth the extra cost. Buffalo sauce wasn't too salty. Tenders were juicy, lightly fried. I thought they were perfect but my kids said they could have fried them a little harder. Fries were fresh & golden brown.

Haven't been here for over 10 yrs. Brought my brother and his family. 6 of us and ordered a Limited time Hot Honey and a meat lovers large. Mom order a fettuccine alfredo pasta and loved it. Let me tell you the hot honey was fantastic and the meat lovers was great. Meat lovers was a solid 8 outa 10 Hot honey was a great 9 outa 10 I missed this place and glad I came back. Definitely must try

I'll start by admitting that I'm a pizza snob. That's not to say that I don't care for chain restaurants or even something from the grocer's freezer on occasion. This place produces a decent pizza in a fun atmosphere with good service. We tried the NY Style and Thin versions. A NY crust is supposed to be slightly crisp and foldable. The version here was more like the standard national chain -- a little on the thick side with no discernable crisp. On its own, it's OK. But don't call it New York Style when it's really Papa John's style. The thin version is more accurate ... a cracker crust that resembles a bar pie. A well-executed cracker crust brings the crunch (i.e., Marco's and thousands of bars out there). This place, not so much. I think this will be better warmed up in the toaster oven later today. -- The sauce here is bland, but the cheese and pepperoni are quality. Further, both pies were served right out of the oven and arrived scorching hot. That's a good thing. I waxed nostalgic and ordered fried mushrooms. These came straight from a bag that was likely bought from Sysco., and that's OK. The chips and queso, which are also fine, were delivered to the table because I happened to mention that we were first-timers at Spanky's. I realized, before coming here, that Spanky's is a Houston institution. While the service, atmosphere and prices are all outstanding, the pizza is not memorable. Perhaps I just don't get it. I've only lived here for 10 years, after all.

Absolutely must eat pizza place. Everything is good. Great variety. The service is top notch. Food is always hot and fresh and quick. The ranch is good. The servers always keep drinks full and are friendly. Love this place.

This location is very busy on Wednesday nights! Eat a light snack before coming. I love coming here the pizza and sides are amazing and so tasty. The ambience is busy but the service is great!

Spanky's Pizza...great food, fun atmosphere, and good service. I've been going to Spanky's since childhood...Pizza is always fire! I prefer the thin crust. Got different variations, all were super tasty! Ordered 1/2 mushroom 1/2 cheese large, ordered pepperoni and jalapeño, pepperoni pizza. Wings were super tasty, big wings, sauce is rich not too hot but very flavorful. Kids spaghetti was so good...no complaints from the kiddos today! Ordered the fried pickles & fried mushrooms...batter is perfect, light, crispy. Both served with ranch dressing. We also ordered a side salad...very fresh, ranch is always so good. Service was good, waitress was super friendly and helpful. If you haven't checked out Spanky's Pizza...you're missing out!

Food very good had a great waitress very affordable food definitely go back hadn't been in yrs decided wanted go there place was real busy but got in fast

Best deep dish in Pasadena TX great atmosphere wide variety of food choices. There's a great bar with plenty of appetizers.

Top tier pizza, service and cleanliness EVERYTIME!!! Get the fried pickles, pepperoni passion add beef and the wings. Oh and don't forget the margarita!!!

Extremely delicious place to stop in and enjoy lunch. I ordered the fried pickles for appetizer, and the baked spaghetti. Both were good The spaghetti was a full serving, so I have leftovers - yum! The service was a bit slow but all the staff members were willing to assist. The ambiance is very friendly and fast paced. I will be returning for lunch!

We had great service from our server, and the hostess was okay. But that's beside the point... if you come here, stick to the pizza. I came with my family and did not feel like eating pizza so I made the mistake to order spaghetti. I ate the noodles with the sauce, which wasn't so bad, but once I took a bite of the meatball, I literally gagged. Not sure what kind of taste it has but it's disgusting.

I ordered to go so I don't have much to say about service. But I can say that the food was so good that I do plan on going in person to dine in. I wanted to try the pizza but saw that they have other foods as well so I got both the chicken alfredo pizza and veggie lasagna. I was very happy to see that they actually have veggie lasagna, as a lot of places that have Italian food do not. I also liked that they have different sizes of pizza (s,m,l). I had a small since I ordered the lasagna as well. Both items were delicious and the next time I go, I will definitely get the lasagna again.

Ate there in May 10th at around 12:30. Found a metal screw nut in my pizza. Was told it fell from their cooling racks. They comped the pizza and apologized but, I still got charged the rest of the meal. They also didn't say anything like I hope this doesn't dissuade you from coming back. They really didn't seem to care too much. I've gone to that location or Telephone for almost ten years but never again. I like my pizza without extraneous hardware.

Service has never been great when we come(literally have never had a good service experience) but the wings and pizza are really good here, probably the best we've ever had. This time I tried something new and was disappointed. The buffalo chicken sandwich was not a filet, it was two chicken tenders which made it a messy pain in the butt to eat with the tenders falling out or trying to take a bite and the tender slip and your bite is all bread. The tenders were also so over cooked I choked on a piece and pulled out a long sliver stuck in my throat. The tomato on it was also disappointing(pictured). Come here with patience for the wait staff, bc you're gonna need it, but you'll have the best wings or pizza if that's what you ordered.

Ample parking, large inside with separate bar area. Was recommended by an older gentleman that frequented this place for many years and raved about the deep dish pizza. So we had to try for ourselves. Husband wanted the margarita pizza and I just wanted plain cheese so we combined both on one small pie for a quick lunch . We ordered the sweet tea and it was the perfect combo. We will definitely be ordering from there again when in the area.

Love this place. One of the BEST in the Pasadena area. Service is excellent and the atmosphere to top o/f the line. Many TVs for viewing of sporting events. Highly recommended.

helpful staff not bad on the eyes and pasta and pizza awesome great lunch specials. spaghetti and meatballs a lil spicy but meatballs some of the best i have had can't miss long time local spot

This is my second time visit in Spanky's but the first time at this location. I first went to the location of telephone Road about 10 years ago. This location seems a lot newer. So I assume this location is probably the second location. Food: I went with their thin crust lunch pizza with three toppings. It was absolutely amazing. My girl went with the wings and they were just as good. It's funny because I haven't been to Spanky's in 10 years but I remember exactly how the wings tasted and talk about quality control because the wings tasted exactly the same. They were absolutely amazing. They are also very large. Huge wings. Full of flavor and very tasty. I would definitely come back here again and try more of their food. If I lived near the south side I would probably visit this location a lot more but I'm deep in the northwest so it's kind of hard to make it out there. I will definitely come back soon. The customer service was really good. The young lady that waited on us was very attentive and make sure we got everything we need in a timely manner. I will definitely be back here soon. Thanks again

Nicole gave us great service, the pizza is always great. Best sweet tea around. Ambience is casual. Ordered the pepperoni passion and hot wings. Always great atmosphere here, great music. I do recommend trying it out.

100% recommend this family fun restaurant, the food was incredible and great portions and greater prices, management was really nice and very welcoming Definitely recommend getting any of the pizza, lots of variety And the wings are to die for!!!! Recommend Anthony, he gave us great service

Rachel was soooo Good! She was the best waitress that I ever had! She should be a manager. She is so people oriented and we never asked for things cause she was always bringing us just what wanted. Please appreciate this girl cause she deserves it. Thanks, Debbie

Hands down our favorite go to! I love that they put the pepperoni under the cheese, it makes each bite much more intentional. Ordering online is breezy and seamless. Their ranch is also top notch and a must. Every employee I've ever encountered is super nice and personable and makes you want to come back.

The hostess is rude chewing gum like there is no tomorrow when asked if our table was ready she said I told uou all it would be about 50 minutes you need to wait well other were coming in and they were seated faster walking around like she has no care in the world guess she is here just fir the pay no customer service in her at all but taking selfie is very important to her think she is getting a great laugh making us wait to make it worse a bigger group than us came in a she sat theme worse hostess every

Buffalo Chicken Salad was delivered with no salad dressing -- called to complain and they said that was "too bad" that the driver did not grab it. They do not care.

Waitresses don't care. Even when I order to go the young lady's at the front keep talking to each other like they don't care and ignore the customers. Even as an Uber Driver they have excessive wait time to prepare an order over 20 mins so I had to cancel.

It was my first time at Spankys and I was impressed. Waitress: Dalia (or something like that) she has a snake tattoo on her right arm. She was super nice and very attentive. I absolutely adored her. She really takes care of her customers. RAISE HINT HINT Food The best Fried pickles ! The pizza was amazing. We ordered 1/2 cheese and 1/2 veggies. We asked for the mushrooms on the side. They grilled them for me. Dalia suggested it because I didn't want them raw. The Alfredo pasta was Okay pwr one of my guests. Get the PIZZA. YYM! Oh yeah, I also order a frozen margarita w/a dose xx's beer in the glass . It was Super good. Definitely ordering that again ! Parking Good size clean parking lot. They do have front row

Bathroom 5/5: Clean and appears to be regularly cleaned. Dining 5/5: Clean, spacious, easy to maneuver Customer Service 5/5: I had to draw attention to myself in order to be waited. There was no one at the hosts station but the sign says wait to be seated. Another waiter seated me so that was an early awkward experience I wish was avoided. After some confusion about the waiter I finally met my real waiter and she was a doll ! She knew the menu, was conversational and made the time to make sure I was taken care of. Food 5/5: I always order the meat lovers on thin crust with jalapeños on top and it is the best pizza in town. You heard it here first. The ranch isn't an extra charge and I hear it's homemade. I've tried other menu items such as the lasagna and salads. They were delicious. A house secret is that margaritas (which by the way are super strong) can be ordered by the pitcher in house and to-go! I promise you don't try to drink it alone it won't be pleasant. Also, their sweet tea is very good. Price 5/5: $$$ They are pricey but the taste supports it, the ranch is at no charge, the alcoholic beverages are really strong so your money is getting it's full values worth. They have a rewards system ! So be sure to sign up. Vibe 5/5: I've been to both locations. Both can get packed really quickly but I've never felt unsafe, squeezed or uncomfortable by the crowd. It has a bad feeling and many people bring their whole family. This is he perfect place for drinking with your buddies on a work night Overall: 30/30 perfect score

Food and service is always good but Rachel is absolutely outstanding! Very attentive, funny and we got some education on pizza!!

I didn't like it taste like school pizza (if u a 2003 baby you know what I'm talking about) or the frozen pizza they meatball spaghetti taste like sink water yuck just don't eat here save your money

Ordered a meat lovers pizza and cheese sticks, it was great tasting, we love this place. The service is really good.

Called to place a to go order and the young lady on the phone was not very nice and seemed to not want to be there. I was not impressed with her service. I used to go to the Spanky's on telephone and it is the complete opposite of this place. When I got there to pick up my order there were no signs or anyone to tell me where to go. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo, which was so thick I had to warm it up with water... taste was ok, wouldn't buy again. Also the lasagna, which per my cousin was dry. We also had a margherita pizza thin crust crispy, it was like a cardboard. I would not get pizza or pasta from them ever again.

Always on point! Great pizza. Good service. Good atmosphere to be casual to hang out eat and drink.

Pizza was so good here. We had just plain pepperoni on one half and added jalapeños to the other. Both were delicious. And their crust makes it better. Like a crispier version of pizza huts pan pizza. They have a great thing going here for sure!

Pizza is always great , wings are always crunchy and most importantly big wings not like all the wing places that charge way too much and they give you tiny wings. The fried pickles were hot and crispy and the chips and queso were also very good. Waiter was very friendly and brought the food out as soon as it was done cause everything was hot when it came out. Last , the restaurant was very clean and so were the restrooms.

Yummy food. I've only ordered to go but the service was great and quick prep time. My kid loved it! Must try the pizza!

Spankys never disappoints with their pizza, burgers or wings. Tried other dishes but those listed are my favorite ! The drinks here are good as well and the service. I like how they also give out coupons. They come in handy and make me want to visit more

Nice big open place on the inside. We ordered pizza and thought it was pretty good, while almost everyone around us ordered pasta. Overall, friendly staff and good food.

Not enough food for the price. Pretty ridiculous. As you can see this is maybe 2 ounces of chicken and a box of lettuce for $14. That's absolutely stupid.

Delicious food, especially the pizza. Pizzas have a lot of meat and cheese. Service is great and prices reasonable.

We love Spanky's, they are nothing if not consistent. The appetizers and the pizza are always equally delicious. It's a yes for me, over and over.

The wings here are absolutely the BEST hands down! Meaty, tender, breading is fantastic, spice is just right! Hands down one of the best ever!

I ordered take home last night and when I got home I realized I left my wallet at the counter. After asking them if I left it there they said no, but I went to check anyways. They told me they'd call me if they found it, but when I called back the next day still nothing. I asked if they could review the camera footage and they declined. Seems as though someone stole from me and their manager would rather not be of help. Food is mid when you take it home, better to eat there

Great food options. The workers are very nice and helpful if you do not know what you like to eat. The restaurant is very nice and has a cool vibe. The Pizza is super good!

Um, what happened to the sauce? It is VERY spicy and kinda burns. What happened to the original sauce?

Had an amazing experience on a BUSY Friday night. Brittny had several large tables and still made our table of four feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. She was friendly, outgoing, attentive and engaging and anticipated our needs despite her heavy load . Jeffrey, the manager, was friendly and receptive. Best pizza in town, great margaritas and with staff like Brittney, how can you go wrong?!?!?

service was great the server I got was amazing the pizza was a 10/10 best pizza for a reason I also got the mozzarella sticks they were a decent 7/10 I didn't get much of a cheese pull lol but the marinara sauce was fine as well and lastly we got the wings there is only one flavor which is buffalo which is fine with me and my family because we like spicy I just think they were to breaded but the wings were huge!8/10 in overall experience 9/10 restaurant was clean and so was the bathroom so will come again!

I came here with my coworkers for lunch one day. They always wanted to try this restaurant so we did. It was busy for lunch rush, but we were able to be seated right away. I ordered spaghetti with meatballs and it had extra cheese on it. The waiter recommended it so I figured I would try it because I love cheese. When it came out, there was a ton of cheese on it, maybe a bit too much. Not enough sauce on the spaghetti. There was a lot of pasta and enough to have leftovers. The bread that came with it wasn't cooked all the way through. It tasted doughy and undercooked. My coworkers got pizza. The pizza did look better and they ate all of it. I'll get the pizza if I go back. They shared it and said it was enough food. The price wasn't too bad but I would recommend the pizza over the pasta.

Check out Spanky's pizza, both our food and service received was great. Our server name was Rachel and she was really friendly. We will definitely be going back

Went to spanks pizza tonight waited 50 minute for a pizza when people were being served all around me after they came in 10. 20 and 30 Minutes after me and they ate and already left the restaurant. When speaking to the lack of manager she did nothing and did not address the issue after waiting an additional 5 minutes I left money for my tea and left. We drove 30 minutes to have their pizza And their service tonight was the worse service I have ever experienced. We called in a pizza at the other location and made the drive to the telephone road location
