The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 23 threads.
What people say, in short
Recommended by many commenters. Many name its Neapolitan pie, and many its New York-style and Detroit-style pies. It has more than one shop (one commenter mentions a Montrose branch and a west Houston one, another an I-10 location) and most don't say which they mean; the shop shown here is the W Gray one. Two commenters prefer another Houston pizzeria, two say the crust can be floppy or not crisp underneath, and two say it is pricey.
