CATERING TO YOU...
We bring Pizzitola's HERITAGE BBQ to corporate lunches and planned celebrations across Houston.
Came here after living in the area for a decade and having never been here I regret never coming before. The brisket queso was so good and the ribs, brisket, and sausage plate were even better.
Great historical place with great food and desserts. The people that are there have been there a long time and they are great. The food is always amazing.
I ordered the brisket enchiladas which were fantastic.. there is so much flavor packed into those enchiladas & the brisket was tender. The beans & veggies were great too.
