The Gypsy Poet - Houston

The best brick oven pizzas in Houston. Live music and great ambiance!

It’s not hard to earn a five-star review! You just need great food, a great environment with a unique twist, and great service.. of course the drinks are always a plus. This place had all of the above and the plus! Needless to say this is one of the best pizza spots Houston has at the moment.. I haven’t had anything that tops it yet. Hopefully they keep the hard work up to maintain that number one spot. The honey with the pepperoni pizza is an incredible combination. Every ingredient tastes fresh. Great environment to go with friends or even on a quick date with your s/o. Be ready to wait, this place is packed almost every day! Quality of the food definitely backs the price up. Shoutout to the staff for being attentive and friendly.

Let me start this by saying I?m from Chicago so I know good pizza when I see it. It?s basically another food group there. We went here for an early dinner because we were in the area and the reviews looked promising. It?s a little bit tucked away and the vibe is a bit hipster but not in a bad way. Their staff were polite and attentive. We ordered the Sicilian journey and the trouble maker. Both were excellent. Normally I?m not interested in chewier crust but it was pretty good. Know that this type of pizza is definitely Sicilian style on the thin side fresh toppings minimal cheese and sauce. For the style it was pretty good. Would definitely recommend and go again.

This really is unique artisan pizza it?s delicious?. I added pepperoni to The Troublemaker wow???. The one with prosciutto was also amazing i don?t normally like prosciutto on its own. Really yum on this pizza. The Pepperoni Madness pizza with the hot honey was also a big hit! For me to love a pizza with less toppings than I normally add for it to still taste so good is really saying something ??

This was my first visit. My husband and I shared the pepperoni pizza. I was hesitant about the hot honey so I asked the guy who took our order and he recommended that we try everything as. I have to honestly say that it complimented the pizza well. I also let him know that I like my crust crispy. Again, he recommended that we get everything as is. I would have liked for my crust to be crispier, next time. I wish they offered fresh garlic as a topping. I definitely appreciated that they include fresh basil and fresh Parmesan on the side. I also wish they had Cesar salad as an option and cheese cake for dessert. Overall I enjoyed the pizza and can?t wait to try it again!
