Tiny Champions

I came here on a Thursday night for a drink at the bar and a birthday dinner. Parking on the street was plentiful and felt somewhat safe, despite the fresh broken glass on a spot I decided to pass up, for one in front of main entrance. Once inside you feel transported into a cozy atmosphere with friendly bartenders. Of all the drinks I opted for the Evil eye that had the right amount of pomegranate, lime juice and liquor 43. That's right, the same herbal spirit in your Nespresso carajillos. Perfectly shaken and at $11 or so, I could see myself ubering back for a few very soon.Onto the dinner, there were about 12 in our party and we were seated in a long rectangular formation. No split checks so let's order some big ass plates for all. Of all the pizzas, I enjoyed the pepperoni the best. With a tasty pepperoni profile and perfectly chewy crust, this pizza is a must order. There was a ravioli with green peas that I absolutely enjoyed and would order again. The dessert was divine and that coffee ice cream and fudge combo be bussin'! The service was impeccable and the only reason I must take a 1 star deduction are the prices. Perhaps our group ordered the high dollar dishes; but I think the overall price for the table should have reflected more of a caviar priced dinner. But a solid spot for cocktails and attentive service.

Solid Houston Happy Hour spot!My friends and I made a last-minute reservation - thank God we did because it got busy. We ordered some items on and off the HH menu. What's nice is that they have an extensive mocktail list - try the ricotta dreamsicle!For food we shared their oysters, Greens Pizza, Braised Butter Beans, Mushrooms, Baked Feta, Rigatoni, and Pistachio Lemon Ricotta Ice Cream Cake. Everything was amazing and nicely portioned, and my top 2 faves were the Baked Feta and the Ice Cream Cake. The baked feta was so creamy and comforting, while the Ice Cream Cake wasn't overly sweet and so refreshing with the fresh slices of orange on top. I had their Coko Loko cocktail which packed a punch and ended with a lovely pandan coconut note. Lastly our server was very attentive. Would definitely come back!Side note: there's tons of free street parking right outside the restaurant

So, we didn't know what to expect here bc we had been to its sister restaurant the week before (Nancy's hustle) and we felt it was over rated. BUT this place was amazing! The baked butter beans were literally the best thing! I tried to copy them at home twice and I can't figure out why they are so good! We weren't going to get them but the bartender recommended them and we were glad we listened!So if you're going....GET THE BEANS!

Usually I don't rave about pizza/pasta places but Tiny Champions has me blown away!The interior is warm and cozy and the servers were all incredibly welcoming and helpful. To start off with drinks, my boyfriend and I got the Roman Courtyard and the Cruise Control. I personally don't like very boozy drinks so the roman courtyard was perfect since the drink was sweet and very refreshing from the green apple. My boyfriend loved cruise control and both cocktails were decorated beautifully.Everyone in the reviews were talking about the Braised Butter Beans and it was definitely worth the hype. The dish was rich in flavor and balanced well with the charred pickled peppers. The texture of the dish was elevated from the torn croutons so every bite was super satisfying. And with the garlic toum and dill, this dish was flavortown. We also ordered the Radiator pasta and the Salami Pizza. The radiator pasta is another must get- the pasta was cooked perfectly and I loved how the octopus was very soft and tender. Similar to the Braised Butter Beans, there was a slight crunchy texture which was a pleasant surprise to a pasta dish. As for the Salami Pizza, this was also delicious but nothing out of the world (although the honey drizzled on top was spectacular). Not to mention, the dill ranch sauce & garlic chili oil that came on the side of the pizza was delicious.Make sure to save room for dessert because their home-made ice cream is splendid. We got the lemon ricotta and the buttery flavor from the ricotta was perfectly balanced with the citrusy dessert. Their dessert was the perfect way to end such an amazing night full of good food.I can't wait to come back for happy hour or normal dinner hours to explore the rest of the menu because this place has my mind blown!

Tiny champion , BIG TASTE!! This was my favorite restaurant during my time in Houston last week. I am still dreaming about the picante pizza. The goat cheese mixed with the hot honey, I'm literally drooling as I type. It's a pizza I will never forget. We also ordered the pasta rigatoni. It was so delicious and the best pairing with a pizza. The portions are perfect for sharing and very filling. We also ordered an appetizer that was off theMenu, it was ciabatta bread with feta in a tomato sauce, slightly spicy and the perfect starter for our food journey. I am really glad the hostess told us to save room for dessert, because their home made ice cream was insane and delicious. My husband ordered the traditional vanilla and I got the cinnamon and oat with caramelized apples. It was so delicious. Overall, I'm really sad there isn't a place in NJ because I literally cannot stop thinking about the picante pizza. If you are in Houston I HIGHLY recommend that this place is on your list!

Enjoyed my dinner here. Service was great. Nice ambience, good music. Clean looking everywhere. Pizza was good and crispy, but the bottom of our anchovy pizza was hella oily dripping too much than any normal pizza. The Caesar salad was great, I like the tomato addition. I forgot the ball thing I ordered but it's a ball of nice gooey cheese, loved it. The octopus pasta was flavorful and cooked al dente. The pistachio ice cream roll was a nice dessert and palette cleanser. Great spot. Recommended for sure. Don't forget to get a soda float, I loved my root beer float.

Great experience here having dinner with friends. Although we didn't make a reservation, we didn't have to wait too long for a table in the heated patio. The patio is a really nice, large space with the plants and lights.Service was excellent from the hostess to our waitress and even the servers who brought out our food. Everything we had was delicious! Do yourself a favor and start with the fried scarmoza cheese & focaccia. We caught the fennel sausage pizza which had a ton of flavor.Great wine list and they have a little bar area too. Lots of free street parking near by.

Holy Pepperoni! Tiny Champions is super delicious and very trendy. Met up with with my Foodie in crime, Cousin to Check out the latest and greatest of Houston eateries. We were not disappointed. I was super early for our dinner so I went in expecting to have to wait at the bar or outside but nope. They seated me immediately. And of course I had reservations! This is a must here because Tiny Champions is not a very big restaurant. Our servers and the staff were amazing. Always very attentive and never had to ask for anything. The FOOD!! OMG! I never had a pizza with honey on it. This evening i did. And I ate it all. I couldn't believe how good this pizza tasted. Wow!! The olives and spaghetti dish we had was also amazing. We ate like Queens. I really enjoyed the open kitchen too. Seeing all the Chefs working hard back there. So awesome. I'm looking forward to my next visit soon. Forks Up!!!

Tiny champions is always a good idea. MAKE RESERVATIONS. The menu updates seasonly and I love how they put flavors together. This was my first time trying their salami pizza and citrus salad and it was delicious. The Brie was also delicious. Make sure you get the braised butter beans - you won't regret it. The pizza is amazing and the fancy ranch is a good dipping sauce. The atmosphere is dim lit and romantic. They also have a great wine list and craft cocktails. There is free street parking.

Not tiny but def a champion.Bestie suggested this spot and did not disappoint. Street parking. Good luck. Ambiance is the new dimly lit, cozy, full of plants (which I love) and casual conversations. Had a 6:45 p reservation and they were fairly packed.The order: Cabbage salad with pistachio apricot agrodulce and pecorino cheese - bestie said the salad had crack in it bc she was an addict, I laughed. When I hear cabbage salad, immediately think Cole slaw which I hate BUT let me tell you, this salad will convert you. I still think about it from time to time - must orderRadiator - braised octopus, calibrate chili, gremolata - the octopus was perfect - tender and paired with the pasta and sauce wonderfullyPizza - ricotta cream sauce, mixed seasonal greens, mozzarella, pickled garlic - the greens being baked were such a different element, but delicious Dessert - coffee ice cream Sunday with hot fudge and lil donut hole - not into coffee but wowza this was a perfect ending to a night of delicious food, the holes came out hot which was a nice contrast to the ice cream Overall, the staff was friendly and the whole ambience added a nice relaxing experience. Def plan on going back. It's the cabbage salad.
