    Got the Capriciosa pizza, lobster ravioli, and calamari. The pizza and ravioli were excellent and had a lot of flavor. I'm not a fan of Italian food, but I was able to appreciate all the different flavors here. Great drink specials and super quick service

    Pizza was pretty good. And the whole place looks nice a welcoming. It sort of has a homey vibe to me. I will say the pizza it's a pricey at $21 for about an 11". Appetizers are also expensive. $15 for mozzarella sticks is too much for me, but maybe not for you. I didn't pay it. Staff was friendly though and again the pizza was pretty good. Not the best I've had, but definitely in my top 5.

    Good ambience for a weekday lunch. We especially loved the garlic fries. The pizza is amazing too! Recommend a simple Margherita pizza over anything else. It's best to enjoy the flavors

    Excellent!! Let me start by saying that Italian food is not my favorite but a colleague recommended this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Their marinara sauce is the best by far. Also get the calzone. Never heard of it but I like it now. All the pizza we ordered tasted great. And we're big on good service. Their staff all have positive vibes. Definitely going back.

    The pizza was great. We ordered the Carne Trio and kids pepperoni pizza for my son. The kids pizza was generously sized and more than what my son could eat. The other pizza was enough for my husband and I to share. We didn't have to wait for a table and the service was quick. There was a parking lot with ample parking. We will be returning again.

    Amazing gluten free pizza crust, great flavor and texture. Probably one of the best GF crusts I’ve had- good thing too as this pizza isn’t cheap. The entire pizza is full of flavor but not so greasy that it makes you sick at the end. Service was good, we never ran out of water as they were constantly coming around for refills. Not even joking, every time I even took a sip they would come fill the cup back up.

    The BEST pizza hands down!!! Our drive is always worth it (we live 30min away). Food is ALWAYS deliciously amazing and freshly made. Our waiter Carlos deserves the spotlight. He was very attentive throughout the night and his attention to detail went beyond our expectations. If you want amazing pizza and exceptional service THIS is your place.

    Pizza came out hot and fresh. You must order the garlic hand cut fries with aioli sauce. Order the calamari too and gelato at the end. The calamari was bomb. The best tasting calamari I have had. Pizza was great for sharing. The fries so delicious and hot and fresh out of the oil. Take a dip with that aioli sauce in every bite. I came all the way from DFW to try this place. I will be back.

    Everything about this place was spot on. It was a little pricey, but it was worth the value for sure. Calamari was delicious, pizza was delicious, service was spot on. One thing is we felt a bit duped by the Italian soda on the menu only to receive a can of Sanpellegrino, but this was a drop in the bucket of an otherwise perfect experience. Parking was easy, and we were seated quickly despite being a weekend evening. We’ll be back.

    Awesome overall experience. The appetizer was great. Really enjoyed the pomegranate soda and the pizza was some of the best pizza I have ever tryed. We had a very friendly waiter with great recommendations. I'll definitely be going back!

    This place was great. The pizza is super authentic to what you would find on the streets of Naples or any other Italian city. Our server Natalia was just awesome as well. 100% will be coming back here soon!

    This place is great, it has the best pizza and really good pasta. The sauce was very creamy and tasty. The service was great. The waitress Naty was friendly and helpful. I will recommend Linguine Carbonara and pizzas.

    Ordered the meat trio pizza plus a slice of Lemon cake for delivery. Crust has good structure and a little thinner than I was expecting. Crust is more NYcstyle. Flavor is good but a little salty. Delivery was right on time. Food arrived in excellent condition. The bottle of water and slice of cake arrived in separate bags.

    Pizza was so yummy, and they even sell dough balls to take home! Delicious salad and drinks, large menu with something for everyone. They even do build your own pizza for my picky daughter lol. Plenty of parking and good prices. Very happy we came!

    It's been a while since we've visited and decided to stop by for a late lunch on a Sunday since we were in the neighborhood. We ordered the black truffle burrata, classic Greek salad, margherita pizza, and anglio pizza. The burrata was fresh and good but where they fell short was the not fully baked bread and the big slices of tomatoes and whole basil leaves. It would have been nice if it was chopped up so that we can easily scoop it on top of the bread and cheese rather than cutting it ourselves. The same thing with the Greek salad...it would have been a better experience if the veggies were cup up smaller. Both pizzas were good. The anglio was our favorite. The service was a bit weird. We sat on the patio near the door and our waiter would pop his head out of the door when communicating with us....not coming to the table. He checked on us twice. He asked "how are you" which I thought was weird... I would have expected something like "how's everything tasting?", "do you need anything?". The lady refilling our water and the servers bringing out our food were great. It would have been nice to have fresh plates when they brought the pizzas out after having our appetizers. It's the little things like this and the care a kitchen takes when prepping veggies etc that makes a great experience which I feel they fell short of.

    So Bollo Pizza is definitelyranking higher than most on the top 10 Houston Pizza restaurants. Since grading pizza is so subjective I have applied a little structure to "Pizza Thursday" that helps YOU make up your own mind about this establishment. The grading is 1-5... with 5 being the best or most. Crust Thickness - 2 moderately thin, but perfect Neapolitano style crust Crust Flavor - 4.5, but 5 if you are aware of Neapolitano flour and consistency. Tasty with perfect shape and edge.. Cheese amount and elasticity - 5 had proper amout of stretch and well proportioned Topping quantity - 5 excellent quantity and dispersion I had the Carne Trio Rosse Pizze and I will forever compare all that come to this meat pizza Sauce Quantity - 3 perfect for coverage and just enough for what I like Sauce Flavor - 5 very nice Atmosphere Cleanliness - 5 Very clean and set up nicely. Good music and well organized so that you have space to yourself Atmosphere noise level - 5 very quiet and easy to have a conversation Day After - 5 it kept well and was still amazing. Comments: overall I grade Bollo at a solid 5. I am also a big fan of Stags' Leap wine, and was very happy to see that it was a choice on the wine menu. The Alabama location is perfect for sit down, outside dining, as well as take-out. I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to taste both the Tiramisu while my wife ordered the cheesecake. Phenomenal... The Pizza was very good, and worthy of return visits.

    Got food to-go and it was amazing. Only regret is not having the food straight from the kitchen because it tasted amazing. Having their calamari straight from the fryer, and pizza straight from the woodfire oven (I can only imagine) would have been divine. Definitely will be back. Also got a fettuccine chicken alfredo - Fresh pasta was good but the price was too high for it ($20 + $6 for chicken). I'd skip the pasta.

    First time dining here and it was truly a fantastic experience! The dishes were not only delicious, but the atmosphere was equally captivating. Highly recommend and will surely return for more. Can’t wait to bring my friends along next time!

  • 5/5 Sasha M. 9 months ago on Google
    Relaxed and simple atmosphere. The pasta is hand made by “Fabio’s…simply exquisite! And all pizzas are recommended! Always an excellent attention, with good variety of drinks, wine, cocktails and sodas. Outdoor tables and indoor ones. Own parking lot. This is the kind of place where you don’t pay a lot of money for a good quality meal.

    Their wood fired pizzas a really good. Ample indoor and outdoor seating, parking space and good location. The service is decent. We tried their lobster ravioli - the sauce was really good, creamy and it had chunks of lobster meat as a topping. For our pizzas we got pesto pollo pizza - it had a lot of goat cheese (more that what we had expected). We could barely taste the pesto because of the overpowered mozzarella and goat cheese. The crust was very good though. Apparently their tiramisu is very good but we were full beyond our capacity. Overall it was a decent experience.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious, lobster ravioli, $5 margarita, fettuccine alfredo, and capresse salad 😍😍😍 everything was absolutely delicious, service was amazing! I can’t wait to go again and try their pizza!

  • 5/5 Myoungjin L. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great experience we had here at Bollo! We came here for my friend’s birthday and everything was so smooth! Our waiter was very kind and the host was also great! Mozzarella was good and yummy. Their garlic fries was perfectly crisp to the end :)

  • 5/5 Otavio Maffud C. 2 years ago on Google
    Service is pretty good. The Pizza is not the best in Houston, but it is in the top 5, mainly because it is woodfired. The sauce is handmade, which makes the pizza not spice like standard American pizzas.

  • 4/5 MANISH S. 1 year ago on Google
    Dined in with family on a Friday night. No wait time yet restaurant was fairly full. Good place to hangout with Family and friends. Service was fast and food tasted equally good. Had Mozzarella sticks and Margherita pizza. Loved both. Will definitely visit again and recommend others.
