The Mister and I came here on a whim. First let me tell you that you cannot park right in front of their business on the street, as that is a no parking zone, yet we save a few people doing just that. Risky, but you do you boo. There is a garage on the backside that we park in and it's easy breezy. The atmosphere is really nice inside, so I felt kind of bad that I didn't put any effort into dressing the part and instead came in some work out shorts and a tank top. But they did not mind. LOL.
We ordered the Piola meatballs, which are a meal in themselves. For the pizza, we ordered the Diavolo. What I thought was odd was they don't have pepperoni, it's more like salami, but it tasted great! The crust was thin and the pizza was very delicious.
They have a full bar, too, and we did order drinks. It was a great meal that I am certain we will partake in again!
Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
The menu is full of great selections, and the open kitchen is fun to watch.
Will definitely be back!

Although delicious the lasagna serving was small, expensive and came with nothing else (like salad, veggie or bread). The place was clean but grungy looking. The kitchen staff were shouting at each other and you could hear other noises from the kitchen like blenders. We were seated close to the kitchen. Acoustics left a lot to be desired. Our waiter was nice as were other staff. We probably won't go back.

Lucas was really nice and very personable. Keep up the great work! Came here to start off my birthday celebration (5/5) weekend with my husband. ❤️ I drank a blue drink and my husband got Jack and coke. We are an appetizer to start off the night. The garlic knots which were super delicious.

Nice spot. I have passed by this restaurant many times and never stopped in. I actually had the Lasagna and it was great. Next time I am in the area I will have to stop in.

Food wasn’t bad but not the best I’ve had. Staff was very friendly and atmosphere is really nice. A cute date night spot and pretty affordable as well.

Top restaurant for pizzas and pasta. Nice ambience. One of the few places where our family cleaned up each of our plates!

I have been eating at Piola regularly for more than a year. The food is amazing! I generally start off with a beer and their Eggplant Parmesan. It is likely the best I've ever eaten anywhere. Then eat one of their amazing salads and a pizza. The Houston is my favorite pizza. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Delicious, fresh food! Love the atmosphere here and the food is always fantastic. I love the chia seed crust and the arugula salad.

Piola consistently delivers on well priced, tasty Italian food. I've had their pizzas on multiple occasions and they were very good.
On this night, I had their pasta and it was one of the best pastas that I've had in Houston. Eggplant parmesan is a go to for me at an Italian restaurant and this was very well prepared.
There are enough options here for a vegetarian to find something good to eat.
The staff is efficient, friendly and very helpful. They're happy to adjust things and even do something that's off menu.
On the night that I was there with two friends, it seemed like there was one waitress only but she did a spectacular job of ensuring that we were well taken care of. I will continue to go to Piola. This is one place that has maintained it's quality and good customer service over the years.
