Pastabilities

The pizza was pretty good. You can buy pizza by the slice or an entire pizza of your choice. Had a fruit bowl and it was pretty fresh. Definitely would go back. Employees were attentive.

Quick wait today, stopped in for breakfast. Ordered scrambled eggs with onions. Bananas are on the other side of register. You can order your breakfast as a plate, sandwich or just on the side.Condiments are located by the window. Food and prices are good especially when line is short.

This review is for their breakfast.If you are looking for a quick but high quality breakfast, this is your place. It doesn't look like much from the outside but their omelettes are amazing! They literally crack the eggs in front of you... they aren't those stupid powder eggs people use at other places. Their breakfast burritos are a great deal but also delicious. If you are on a cheat day... get a biscuit!!!!This place is somewhat of a walk from my building but the walk is totally worth it. In my opinion, if you want a good breakfast with fresh and real ingredients, this is your best option in the tunnels.

This review is strictly for their breakfast offerings. Pastabilities is located downtown and is part of the tunnel system. It's convenient for the downtown worker like myself. They open early and because I pass their shop on my way to the office, I often stop in for breakfast. They offer breakfast tacos and various breakfast sandwiches along with homemade biscuits, bacon and sausage. The best thing is that all breakfast is made to order. The omelettes are excellent, the grits are like your grandma makes and the bacon is cooked crispy, just like I like it! Perfect place for a hearty before the grind breakfast fare.

Affordable, decent breakfast in Houston's tunnels without attitude? That's no lie. You can get that at Pastabilities. They have fresh, real eggs, not eggs poured from a carton. The grill man will actually crack your eggs in a bowl, whisk them, and cook them right in front of you. You can get various breakfast sandwiches on regular bread, Texas toast, or croissants. They also sell a breakfast burrito that is huge and packed with eggs, meat, and potatoes, which I love all by themselves. I'd sometimes get a side of taters to have them later for lunch.You'll know their food is fresh since sometimes you can catch them loading up the pans to cook the bacon which they do in their pizza ovens. Oh did I forget to mention that they also sell a decent slice for lunch? It's a bit salty but it's a good size and cheaper than Russo's. It looks like a hole in the wall in the fanciness of the Rusk area tunnels, but it's worth the visit. Be prepared to wait in line though. They can get real busy, but the line usually moves quick.

I first learned of this establishment from a friend who nonchalantly pointed out that I could find Pastabilities if I turned left instead of right at a certain point in the labyrinthine tunnels bellow our office building. "Pastabilities?" I thought. The name invoked a sense of wonder and beset in me a desire to seek out this land of pasta wonderment that is only limited by my imagination. Today I found it, and it's a dump.This place is genuinely depressing. First, I see pizza, which doesn't look terrible, but this place is not called Pizzabilities! I move on to the second counter. A dingy wasteland of regrettoni lies before me, I look above, only to find a depressing selection of "normal" pasta options. This isn't a Pastabilitiy! This is a farce! Turning still, I finally discover the holy grail of this penne purveyor: "Create your own pasta". This is where my luck changes and my long journey or walking roughly 5 minutes at a comfortable pace will finally become worth it.I begin to read the menu. "Choose a pasta!" What exotic choices will become the foundation of my epic creation? Spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine, penne, etc.. The most exciting choice is bow tie, which makes me want to go cry.Okay, so the pasta choices are run of the mill, but the sauces, those are what make a dish truly great. Imagine my sadness when choice are limited to red, alfredo, pink (which should not count as a sauce because it's just two sauces mixed together, meat (which makes me think this "red" sauce is just ketchup or something?) and something that started with oil, which made me immediately stop reading any further before I became even more scandalized.Pasta and sauce were a bust, but the add ons! These would surely save the day! Basil, roasted garlic, and a dollop of goat cheese could elevate my depressing dish into a succulent success. But, alas, it was not to be. My choices were limited to frighteningly overcooked chicken (why oh why do you keep 20 chicken breasts on the griddle at all times. Nobody enjoys leather...), meatballs that I assume come catered in from the nearby Subway, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. There used to be more options, but these were taped over by a piece of masking tape. If only masking tape could hide my languid desire to eat this pastabortion.Your incredibly uninspired meal comes with a side salad and a breadstick. The less said about these the better, but they make one scream "My kingdom, my kingdom, my kingdom for an Olive Garden!"Anyway, it was only $7, so I'll probably be back.

This is my go to location almost every work morning for some great, affordable breakfast. Not sure you can beat the prices. Rarely a long wait despite a usual line in the morning. Have had the pizza for lunch and also very good! Other pasta choices too for lunch but have always gone with the pizza. Two slices fills me up which makes it a pretty cheap lunch.

I've never seen dried out chicken before. I should've caught this before leaving. But this establishment has gone down over the years. If the pizza us dried out pls take off display.

Food costed less than $10 and left me relatively full. It's been a while since that's happened. The person serving and the cashier were both friendly and whole process took about 5 mins, including them heating up the pizza again. Would definitely return.

I have to give this business major props.I came in and ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza, a small salad, and drink $7.50 including tax. Great deal and I would enjoy an awesome meal. Look in my purse and my wallet is missing! I left my wallet at home. Feeling embarrassed I told them to put my meal back as I had no way to pay. The owner waived it off, printed me a receipt, and told me lunch was on him if only I just came back at a later date to pay.I wanted to cry. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I would not have had lunch today if it were not for him.I will be coming back later to pay and give more to this business.Thank you for your kindness.Oh and the food is great too, especially breakfast tacos in the morning.
