The name downplays what's going on at this popular spot; Angie's Pizza is one of the most talked-about restaurants in Houston right now. Chef/owner Angelo Emiliani has an extensive and impressive background that has taken him from The French Laundry to the ovens alongside pizza impresario Chris Bianco. Wood-fired pizzas are indeed the hype here, though there are also a number of other items on offer. Make a reservation or you'll encounter a wait (though you might get lucky at their full-service bar). Begin with an appetizer like their wood-fired zucchini, twirl a plate of pasta or jump straight to their pizzas: the piccante stands out with Calabrian honey, Spanish chorizo, fennel and garlic. Fancy a spiced, sugared pecan sundae? Trust us, you do.
