3 Montrose Pizza Spots for Your Next Dinner Out
Three Montrose pizza spots, Pizaro’s, Nonno’s, and Betelgeuse Betelgeuse, with pies to try and how to choose between crust styles, tavern pizza, or cocktails.
Where should you go for pizza in Montrose? Pizaro’s, Nonno’s Family Pizza Tavern, and Betelgeuse Betelgeuse offer three distinct choices: several pizza styles, crisp tavern pies, and cast iron pizza with cocktails. Each location has a Google rating above four stars.
Pizaro’s: Pick your pizza style
1000 West Gray Street, Suite 400, Houston, TX 77019
Google rating: 4.4/5 stars
Pizaro’s on West Gray is a useful starting point when the first question is about crust. Its Montrose menu covers Napoletana, Detroit, and New York styles, so you can choose the kind of pizza before debating toppings.
Try the Detroit style if a thick pan pizza with a cheddar cheese edge sounds right. For a thinner pie, explore the Napoletana selection, cooked in a wood oven, or the New York option. Plan for another night this week: the official location page lists Monday as closed.

Nonno’s: Tavern pizza made for sharing
1613 Richmond Avenue, Houston, TX 77006
Google rating: 4.2/5 stars
Nonno’s takes a different direction with tavern style pizza and a crisp crust cut into small pieces for sharing. Its ordering menu offers familiar cheese and pepperoni pizzas alongside combinations that give a group something to talk about.
Start with the Wise Guy for Italian sausage and giardiniera, the house combination of pickled vegetables. Broccoli Garlic pairs roasted broccoli with garlic butter, mozzarella, and ricotta if you want a vegetable option. Add mozzarella sticks and you have the beginnings of a pizza night. The restaurant takes walk ins rather than reservations.

Betelgeuse Betelgeuse: Cast iron pizza and cocktails
4500 Montrose Boulevard, Houston, TX 77006
Google rating: 4.5/5 stars
At Betelgeuse Betelgeuse, the Montrose location pairs cast iron pizza with a neighborhood cocktail bar. Order at the bar, settle in, and make the pizza the center of an evening with friends.
Pepps keeps things familiar with pepperoni, pizza sauce, and brick cheese. Pesto Fungo adds mushrooms, red onion, basil pesto, and several cheeses for a different route. The location menu lists large and small pizzas, which helps when appetites vary. Families can visit earlier in the evening: the official policy welcomes all ages until 9 p.m., then switches to adults only.
