Talespin Pizza

First, I have to start with saying this needs to be a Michelin star restaurant. This is the BEST pizza and side dishes complimenting the meal that we have ever had. We knew the creator of this new establishment since the days he was in Austin. We currently live out of town, and this was our one and only priority stop while visiting Houston because we knew how amazing Devan is with the way he combines foods. All locally sourced, he just creates an absolute symphony of flavors together in such a jaw dropping way. Well, after a nice feast, I can confirm everything we tried didn't just meet expectations, it superseded them by miles. The cherry on top is the fantastic customer service. We were kindly greeted by Eddie, and then met with Devan who explained the entire menu and helped guide us on what to pick to try for the evening. Their kindness and exceptional care with their customers is just absolutely a reflection of their love for combining food and a positive human experience. They are great listeners, and are truly humble and hard working people. The dedication this establishment has in working long hours to bring exceptional service and creative meals will blow your mind. We tried the Coffee Cowboy, the Rita, their scratch mac and cheese, chicken thigh meatballs, woodfired carrots and cheesecake. All of these dishes are so unique and each bite is so amazing. Do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and head on over here. Talespin Pizza will be the best decision you've made all day.

This is our first time here as we wanted to have a great pizza with the old style pizza oven. The owner and his brother is very nice and friendly. Their pizza is amazing. We also got dad’s brushesta truffled mushroom. It is so amazing. I really recommend this menu. Love this place and food.

I’m so happy to have a local not chain pizza place nearby! The pizza is phenomenal, super great staff, and reasonable prices. We ordered the Pig & Chicken and Rita. Don’t forget to add ranch it is SO good. Happy to have a new favorite pizza place.

We absolutely loved the takeout from Talespin! We tried the Texas Primetime pizza, and it was fantastic. The crust was thin, light, and airy—honestly, it reminded us of the pizzas we had in Napoli. The toppings were spot on too; we really enjoyed their creative Neo-Texan spin on pizza. The tiramisu was just okay—it was a bit on the sweeter side for us, but it didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed the meal overall. This place is such a gem, and we can’t wait to come back for more! Highly recommend!

This place is designed more towards carryout pizza as they have 4 window seats inside and then a few tables outside. Friendly and informative staff. Unique pizzas. We had the Fall Flavorbomb. It was delicious! My husband is already making plans on which pizza we'll have the next time.

the pizza is fire! went twice, tried 4 different flavors. loved all of them, 5am was our personal favorite. the crust is not greasy, high quality cheese and toppings and unique flavor combos. and the dessert comes in a mason jar you get to keep! :) cheesecake was awesome, definitely coming back for more.

Delicious!!! Friendly but small space, only small booth inside and two tables outside for small group dinning. But so worth to try! Nothing like your ordinary pizza place, unique in flavor and quality.

I was driving on the feeder and saw this pizza place, I pulled in, not knowing what to expect. Was greeted nice and quickly, and "bro" friended (instead of befriended lol) the staff. Eddie (the owner and head chef) came from around back and as I told them it was my first time to be in here he preceeded to explain his pizza style, that he wanted to mix fine dining and top ingredients with a fun Neopolita. Pizza and what they have been doing, and who they are. I immediately wanted to try the whole menu, but let me tell you, this pizza is WORLD class! The Coffee Cowboy was the recommended favorite, and I never had a pizza like it, and the taste was 10 out of 10. And what I mean never had a pizza like it i mean the style and the ingredients! Oh, did I mention they are farm to table? They are and are with local farmers!! Anyway, along with my pizza, I ordered the chicken meatballs app, and the sauce was savory and just the perfect amount of herbs. As I was handed the food, Eddie gave me a complimentary slice of Tiramisu and was on my way! Highly recommend and will be back SEVERAL times!

Great crust and interesting toppings. Check this place out and try more than one pizza

Due to their hours, we have to modify our Fridays to get the pizza, but it's worth it. Staff is great. Pizza is near perfect. Crust is good. As many pizza places as there are in Houston, it's a challenge to find consistently good pizza. This place has it. Glad we were able to get it. An Influencer shared our secret. Today, Saturday 03-08, they sold out of 300 crusts by 5:15PM. Good problem to have, unless you wanted pizza in the evening. Excited at news they have plans to expand. Sad it seems I'll have to wait to get pizza again. Definitely worth trying to get...good luck.

Houston is one of the greatest food cities in the history of mankind...except when it comes to pizza. So hearing about a new pizza spot in H-Town always gives me a glimmer of hope. Glad to say that a spot like Talespin really helps us escape that stigma of lacking solid pizza. This is a fantastic addition, with tons of endlessly creative pizzas. And the prices aren't bad either. Just make note that unless you want to sit outside, it's really only a to-go establishment, yet even the vibe in the waiting room is fun since you can watch them prepare the food. The chefs are really cool and friendly too. Love this place!

NeoTexan Pizza is what they call their style. I absolutely love the fusion concept of traditional process of making pizza, but adding the Texan flavor profile to it. It really works! Talespin does a great job marrying the two and creating something very unique. The dough is absolutely on point. Not to thick, soft, delicate with a little chewy bounce against your teeth. Clearly they did their homework on authentic pizza not like your big box name pizza. We got the Autumn Flavor - Fall Flavorbomb and Coffee Cowboy pizza. Of the two, I REALLY enjoyed the Fall flavorbomb with its autumn spices and some kick in the taste buds with spices. Coffee Cowboy pizza was also quite taste with steak ontop. Good stuff! Of course with these unique and delish pizzas, you'll pay a more than usual price for them. They both came out to around $17 ish each. However it really isn't too far fetched for these prices as well as its higher than the typical, but understandably so. Unfortunately theres practically no seating area for dine in, but instead, they have a waiting area. There are a few tables for outside usage, but the vast majority is a call in and pick up place.

Round two. Still just as good. I forgot to ask them to crisp up the bottom. We tried another pizza and loved it. All the flavors sound a bit crazy, but the bad boy works. Pickled cabbage and pickles on a pizza? Who woulda thought.

‍ The pizza is absolutely authentic, fresh and delicious. We had the TX Cuban, Pepperoni & Pig and Chicken. The staff are super friendly. We placed our order online, & picked it up. We live about 40 mins from the restaurant but the pizza was still hot when I got home. We will be back again. The ambiance is super cute and the business located in a shopping center.

Was feeling indulgent today and tried the coffee cowboy pizza... it was great! The dough was very fluffy and pillowy. The cheesy sauce and arugula was super addicting. As for the coffee crusted steak, it was cooked perfectly and super flavorful. I would come back just because the crust was so good!

Great pizza, ultra fresh ingredients, and helpful staff. It's worth a drive to try if you are on the fence of going there!!

We were skeptical but decided to give this pizza place a try. They sell some creative fusion pizza. From my previous experience, fusion food often times create confusion. But not this one! We tried the HTX Hawaiian pizza and added extra Italian sausage for $1.25 extra! Boyy!!!! Pizza was superb! The crust! THE CRUST IS DA BOMB. And I'm very picky with my crusts too! We will definitely come back to try more fusion pizzas!!

1000/10! Great pizza, great service. The owners are awesome guys. WILL BE RETURNING! Got the coffee cowboy, a regular pep and their homemade chili crunch

I love the NeoTexan branding, looks great on the box and the website. Tried them on a whim on Saturday night, they have a great pick up location for my family and I didnt think the pricing looked terrible compared to peers. The pies are the artisanal 14" size with premium toppings for the NeoTexan side of the menu and another half of the menu having traditional flavors and a BYO option. As a pick up order the service was great! Walked in a tad earlier than the pick up window and was greated warmly and told the order would take a bit longer than expected, no problem as I was offered a drink while I waited. Wait was 15mins longer and I hardly noticed as I took a quick walk around the development. As a thank you for waiting, half the price of my meal was comp'ed and they gifted a tiramisu dessert (wife was happy)! Excellent way to earn future business. Food was really good in my opinion. Caesar salad with umami dressing was nice quality, would have loved more dressing because it was super tasty. Pizzas were a nice irregular shape, shows me they are all individually made. Crust was airy and chewy with an excellent exterior crispness. Toppings and sauce all worked together well and nothing overpowered or underwhelmed. Plenty of options for me to try on repeat orders. This is definitely our new take out spot!

Great pizza....hands down.....go get pizza here. They dont really have sitting area so get to go

I wanted to give it 3-4 stars, but you can't rate on personal preference. You have to give "a whole body of work". Overall, the pizza tasted great. Toppings, the smoked tomato sauce, etc. I prefer more of a crisp to my crust, but....it's Neapolitan. It's going to more airy and chewy. That being said, I ate the whole damn thing so yeah I'm going to give a 5-star review. Next time if I want crisp, I'll toss on the stone in the oven for a few minutes. If you live on west part of Houston, here's another good pizza place to check out. No need to go close to downtown, save that gas money.

Another amazing experience at Talespin Pizza. We ordered the Candied Carrot and the bi-weekly special - Tx Cuban. I tried the Cuban first and it was fantastic, but then I tried the Candied Carrot. I was expecting it to be good but was NOT expecting it to be roll-my-eyes-good! We will DEFINITELY get the carrot pizza again (among other flavors which we already love).

Creative pizza combinations was what drew us in; we got the Chili Crunch Chicken this time and the Coffee Rub steak is on the list for next time. The homemade dough blew us away and with the fresh taste. It's hard to believe any of their pizza combos wouldn't taste amazing. My daughter loved watching them make the chicken thigh meatballs. Only feedback is when we first came in, it smelled like like something just burned - a smokey bitter smell instead of a pizza smell and we almost changed our minds but so glad we didn't. Our pizzas were amazing,, but my 3 year old was sensitive to some of the black burned parts on the under side of the pizza and we had to pick it off for her. Pizzas came out amazingly quick. Would def come back.

Talespin seemed like a promising upgrade from the previous pizza joint located in this shopping center, but I think there's a bit of room for improvement. We ordered a Fall Flavorbomb pizza, which was 12" and fed two of us sufficiently. It had chorizo jam, butternut squash, pecan romesco, and of course cheese. We both felt that all the flavors were kind of lost on us. The crust looked great but it was verging on more of a crunchy / stale texture instead of my preferred crust, which is chewy. It also seemed like the dough itself could use some more salt for flavor. The pizza was supposed to be topped with fresh rosemary, and it didn't seem like that made it on the pizza. Or maybe it did go on pre-oven and disintegrated while being cooked. I recommend to-go vs. eating there--this is more of a takeout joint. Service was friendly, the pricing was a lot more affordable than your typical non-chain pizza joint, and lots of the menu sounds good, so I hope to be back.

The Coffee Cowboy Pizza is amazing and now my new favorite so far out of the ones I tried!

Don't remember the last time I've been this impressed with a restaurant. Thought it was just going to be another good / decent pizza spot, but some of the better pizza I've had in a long time. Cesar is also beyond good. 10/10

This could be the best Pizza place in Houston and they were fast with the orders. Pizza takes can take a while to get out from the oven like 10 mins or more, but they took it out less than that like 5-8 mins, depending on how much you order. While it's small inside it's more of a take out place with small seatings inside and out. If they ever do try to expand to a bigger place than I will definitely go to that place too. This pizza joint deserves more praises and recognitions.

Have had Talespin on two occasions and I still can't get over how unique their pizza combinations are. I believe the most important part of any pizza is the under-carriage and crust. Excellent job here. No floppage and/ or messiness. Taste is amazing too. So far I have tried the Buff or BBQ which has halal chicken thighs, mozzarella, blue cheese pickled red onion, chilis and cilantro. They put all of my favorite toppings on a pizza. Out of this world tasty. Also tried the Caccio de Peppe. Oh boy. The smoked onion flavor with the fresh mozzarella, black pepper and top it all off, fried garlic. Solid pizza. Also tried the Texas Primetime. Worth a shot, hopefully the carrots don't scare you away. Y'all have shot your self up to top 5 pizza joints in town. Keep killing it!

I've never had a Neapolitan pizza so coming into this I didn't know what to expect. My brother and I were looking at places to eat near the memorial area, we saw the reviews of Talespin and decided to check it out. Upon entering you immediately see a chef prepping the meats to your right and another doing the dough to the left. The pizza was phenomenal, great toppings, great dough/chew and even great ranch! Their ricotta was straight GAS, really flavorful. We didn't hear much of it, but I can tell these guys take pride in what they do responding to the whole "chef can you check...." And much more and the jokes they crack along the way. On top of that, when you get your pizza it's "inspected" and we got the Commander checking it out. Love what these guys stand for by buying local ingredients. Would definitely check this place out and even worth the drive imo if you're not near. Would not hesitate to be back. Thanks yall!

This has to the best new pizza in Houston hands down. It's so good, I'm going to make myself a punch card and eat the entire menu. Time: 7:15 PM on Friday, one day before the official grand opening, 9/28. No line. (This won't last as word spreads. So go get it now). Tried the Cacio de Peppe pizza and the Smoked Chicken Cobb and both were outstanding. The thin pizza crust was light and airy and the toppings of cheese and roasted garlic made it worth every penny. Now the salad can stand on its own. If I was just wanting a salad, this would be the one. It's pretty big and if you eat the whole thing, you won't have any room for the pizza. When you open the container, smoke chicken aromatics hit you right in nose. There is also candied bacon in this thing. YUM. Warning- there is only 2x two seat tables inside and 4x standing only tables outside and no restrooms so be prepared for that.

Very kind & experienced owner, kind staff and some of the best pizza you can get in Houston Definitely give this place a try you won't regret it, my best regards to the owner and can't wait until you open more locations! Pictured is a pepperoni pizza with extra crispy crust, it was delicious. I'll be coming back to try the steak.

Saw the pizza restaurant on IG!!! O boy lying in that video pizza say best pizza in town. It was fresh product that was good but they were stingy on the meat and can't cut a pizza how hard is it to cut pizza lol. Just take your a** to Sam's Club or Costco save your money lol. Just go to try another pizza.

Just tried this place tonight...def more of a takeout pizza spot ...ingredients seem super fresh, the dough is excellent and they prepare it really well...margarita pizza with pepperoni was amazing and our kid devoured the cheese pizza - def gonna be our new pizza spot in the area

The brothers were great and the pizza was even better I would recommend to everyone coming to Houston

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch and it was perfect. The gentleman taking our order was helpful and polite. The pizzas took about 10 minutes, which was not bad at all. We ordered the Coffee Cowboy, Texas Primetime, and Chili Crunch Chicken pizzas, and they were all tasty. Inside seating is limited to two small tables with two chairs each facing the glass windows. The outside seating area has four tables with four chairs each. We watched the owner made pasta from scratch through the kitchen glass door and chatted with him for a bit. Even though the restaurant has only been opened since September, he gave his employees a whole week off with pay for Christmas. Now that's a small locally owned business worth supporting, not to mention the delicious food doesn't hurt!

First, I have to start with saying this needs to be a Michelin star restaurant. This is the BEST pizza and side dishes complimenting the meal that we have ever had. We knew the creator of this new establishment since the days he was in Austin.

The food here is amazing! Amazing people with excellent service! I ordered off of DoorDash, and they called me to let me know they made a mistake. They immediately offered to send their driver with the correct order. They came quickly, and even brought a cheesecake as well. I would recommend anyone to order Talespin, as they offer quality service with excellent food.

Great Pizza! Located on the I10 frontage road between Wilcrest and Kirkwood. Neapolitan style pies using local ingredients. It was my first time ordering so I went for the basics -cheese, pepperoni and sausage. The dough was perfect, the smoked tomato sauce is absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff and service. Few tables outside but mainly a place to pick up. I will definitely be back to try all their specialties.

We ordered a pizza to be delivered to our hotel room. It was cold. Not even warm. So, of course it didn't taste good. I have eaten cold pizza before and it has flavor. This pizza did not.

Awesome pizza and wings I will come back!! Went to pick up pizza atmosphere amazing! Awesome job with executing my individual request. I will be back!

Good pizza, good delivery, easy, yummy! I haven't eaten in but the delivery to my house was great. Fun choices and Neapolitan style pizza.

Fantastic food. So far my favorite is the Bone Marrow Bolognese. I'm looking forward trying more flavors.

Took a chance ordering and exceeded my expectations! Creative flavors, quality toppings, and quality topping portions. This will be my go-to pizza place from now on. Wonderful job. Cute pizza box design!

Pizza here was good but not blow my mind away. We tried the vodka and Hawaiin and they were pretty good not too salty but crust could have been a little bit crispier the toppings when hot fell off but when it cooled down was better. The tiramisu and wings were much better I would suggest to try. Overall good place kind of expensive wouldn't be going too often but formidable pizza place.

Stopped here on the way home after seeing the new sign and decided to check it out. I was instantly greeted by the owner who was extremely friendly and very kind. The ingredients they use are local and fresh. I tried the Cacio e Pepe, pig and chicken and was blown away. The price and quality is outstanding, I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Dam good pizza and the owner was super nice and friendly when I came to pick up the pizzas. I could tell he has a lot of passion and pride in making his pizza and it was backed by how good it was. I had to wait an hour because I had a long drive home after picking up the pizza but it was still real good. I think it is the best pizza I have had in Houston so far!

This is the best pizza spot in Texas. Since I first found it about 5 weeks ago, valery and I have been back at least once a week since. Everything is made from scratch and the hospitality is next level.

When I tell you the best freakin food! I mean it! I feel so honored to have found this joint, the service is by far awesome! I went back the very next day to try more delicious food on the menu. I will definitely come back when I am in Houston!

The owner was super friendly and super generous about explaining the menu. I got the coffee cowboy and it was special. My daughter got the classic cheese pizza and it was also great. There are a bunch of other things on the menu that I want to try next time.

Phenomenal food. Great service. Everything craft made. Takeout or delivery only. Very unique flavors.

Quite literally the best pizza spot in Houston.You will not be disappointed eating here,highly recommend the steak pizza.

Picked up food a girl's night with wine. Tried the pig and chicken pizza, chicken pesto pizza and the jalapeño spinach artichoke dip. The pizzas were delicious with just the right amount of toppings! My friends and I particularly loved the dip! Will be back to try other options!

Had some issues with a order but things happen when you first open. They have great pizza and the owner delivered it himself. Retail is tough, mistakes always get made. But its how you handle it will make me a customer for life. Great job talespiin!!

Overall the place looks very nice and clean my girlfriend and I sat outside to the enjoy the nice weather and some delicious pizza. Pizza was 10/10 my girlfriend loved it! And she's picky with her pizza, the guys at the counter were very friendly and patient with us to get our order together. Overall great experience and would love to come back and visit again.

The food was pretty good! My favorite was the chicken thigh meatball and the tiramisu. The chocolate espresso pot de creme was so rich and yummy but a little bit too much coffee for me personally. I tried the buff or bbq pizza and I'm not usually a fan of blue cheese but it paired surprisingly well with everything else on the pizza. I also love the bread and crust on the pizza, it was soft but not too thick. Im excited to try some of the other pizzas when I come back. The staff was so kind and I love the vibe of the place. Unfortunately there isn't any seating but definitely worth a try, with the weather getting cooler it's a perfect picnic food item!

Talespin Pizza was absolutely great! They are a new business still trying to make a name for themselves. The front staff was this awesome guy that was radiantly friendly. The wait was a little long than expected but it is made to order brick fire oven pizza (so that takes time)!! Would 10/10 recommend. Everyone needs to try this pizza!

10/10 Solid food, will come back for more, truffle flavor on the coffee cowboy with the steak? Great combination. And the artichoke dip was absolutely delicious.
