Via 313 Pizza

Got to try out this place as part of a soft opening thanks to my Yelp pal Justin T's invite. Very excited to try a Detroit style pizza and with Houston not having much of a Pizza scene I expected this to be a hit.The service was fantastic throughout, our server was very attentive and informative. Via even allows customization for vegan or nondairy options!The edges were crispy and the toppings tasted fresh which is all you can ask for. I've never tried this kind of pizza before and I almost want to say I really like a crunchier, fried texture crust. The restaurant had a very chill ambiance as well with a full bar. Definitely a sit down type of place (outdoor seating available as well) Got to try a cocktail as well, overall a great experience. *Very spacious parking lot right off I-10. Looking forward to trying this place out again soon!

I was really excited that Via 313 was coming to Houston, but I think it needs to work out some kinks first.I asked my daughter to meet me here for lunch and order for us since I only had an hour lunch break. She did not have to wait for a table long, she arrive at 313 and place an order.I arrived 10-15 mins after, ordered my drink and our server checked on us several time. Thirty minutes had passed, our detroiter pizza has not came out yet. I asked our server about it and she said the kitchen was still working on it. Forty-five - fifty minutes passed and our server came and said there was some confusion and our pizza would come right out. I waited another 15 minutes and by this time I had to get back to work. No pizza came out, I had to leave with no lunch. I wished they were transparent on what happened in the kitchen and tell me upfront on the wait time for pizza. My daughter stayed back and waited on the pizza and asked for it to-go. We both left unhappy and starving.Definitely need to work out their issues before coming back. If I do come back, I'll update this review.

Pizza is supposed to give you joy, this pizza just made me angry. Had high hopes for Via 313, I love Detroit style pizza. The key characteristics of a good Detroit pie are crispiness/crunchiness and a good char on the edges. This pizza was a soggy mess. My pickup time was 8:40pm, and I arrived promptly at 8:38pm. My house is within 10 minutes of the restaurant. First bite into the pizza at home, I tasted nothing but sogginess. $50 for 2 soggy pies. Perhaps for takeout orders the sauce should be on the side. My wife said she liked the flavor of the pizza despite the sogginess. I was so triggered by the sogginess, I could taste nothing else. A complete waste of money and calories. $50 down the garbage. Do better Via 313, Houston has a much more competitive food scene than Austin. There's a much better Detroit style option within a mile of your location.

This gem of a pizza place just opened up in the Spring Branch/Memorial City area. I've never heard of the name before but apparently it's a popular place from Detroit.It's a sit down kinda vibe restaurant. I thought only because it was near Velvet Taco it gave off that counter service vibe but it's not. Pleasant surprise!The restaurant is spacious and inviting. I was welcomed by the hostess at the front and she showed me to the bar area. Melanie was the bartender and provided the best service. She has great energy! I started off with an unsweetened tea and a small Caesar salad. There are no lunch specials so be prepared to bring a doggy bag home. The salad was good. Tasted very fresh and was topped with a large Parmesan cheese wafer. I felt that really pulled the salad together. I felt it could have used more Caesar dressing but that's just me, tasted good nonetheless.I waited for a bit for my pizza but I wasn't in a hurry. They did say the pizzas take about 25-30 minutes so not an ideal place if you're in a hurry. The lunch rush came in and I could tell they were slammed. I ordered a small pepperoni pizza. The pizza was excellent and i asked for a side of ranch and she brought me an extra side. The pizza is very filling. You could easily split a small. It was cheesy, crispy, and the sauce was on top! It was delicious!Absolutely loved this place and will be back.PS: The bartender/server Melanie provided EXCEPTIONAL service. She deserves a raise!

Houston has many pizza places but this latest addition is a delight. I never had Detroit style pizza, and I got to know Via 313 from my friend who grew up in Detroit. According to my friend, the pizza here is good and close to what it is in Detroit. I got the cheese bread to start. It was cheesy and good. It wasn't a bread but a cheese pizza without the red sauce. I had the half and half Carnivore and Hawaiian pizza. Like a typical Detroit pizza, the sauces were added at the top after the pizzas were cooked. My pizza was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the sides of the pizza were crispy. The dough was soft too. My friend had The Cadillac which I took a small bite, and it was so good. There was quite a wait for the food but it was worth it. My server was extremely patient to explain the menu. The restaurant is of a good size and has a pretty chill ambience. There is a small outdoor seating too. At Via 313, they give small pizza doughs to kids for them to play with. It is a nice gesture to keep young kids entertained.

I'd been seeing promotion for weeks and have been eagerly waiting to stop by. I got lucky and decided to inquire about their official opening on the day of the grand opening.The service was great and because this was my first time visiting one of their location, the bar staff was really informative and helpful in me making a decision. I decided to go with a small order of half The Detroiter which is a traditional Detroit style pizza with pepperoni and sauce on top. The other half was The Cadillac which was a prosciutto pizza with fig jam and a balsamic glaze drizzle. Both were great!As a Texas who hasn't traveled much of the U.S. I have no affinity towards the Detroit style pizza. I found it to be really great and dare I say maybe better than what I know to be NY style but I'm not here to start a war on pizza.I also ordered a bottle of Faygo which seems to be a classic brand of soda from Detroit and received complimentary cinnamon sticks were also very good but I didn't finish much of it because I was full on just half my order.

Have been waiting weeks for this local Detroit restaurant to open in the Memorial area. When you walk in you can feel the cool smooth vibe of Detroit.The hostesses were fantastic in getting us a great table inside although they also had some outdoor seating .Lubo ,our server, had our food orders in and food out quickly.He checked on us often even though it was a full house of customers. We started with an antipasto salad made up of fresh chopped romaine, ham,calabrese,cherry tomatoes white cheddar and pepporoncini with an Italian dressing. DELISH!!Next up ,my yelpie ordered the meatballs which he said were authentic Italian style with plenty of sauce.Gotta have the sauce!!The Sicilian style Detroit Herbivore pizza had the right amount of mushrooms ,onion, greenpepper and black olives.Can you say "Pizza Heaven"??DJ the general manager came by our table several times to check on us which elevated our dining experience .Would highly recommend Via 313 and expect to be back soon!!

I tried Via 313 after hearing they were opening up in Houston. I am always looking for good pizza here in town and have only a few places I would recommend. I love good pizza and have to say this place fits the bill and has made its way on my list of recommended places to go. The ingredients are fresh and the sauce it tasty. I had the Omnivore and added pepperoni to make it my way. I can't wait to try more on the menu. Great job 313.

I might be a little biased since I co own via 313 but I love that we are finally in Houston with parking and a great staff. It's long overdue and we couldn't be any happier with how the restaurant turned out. Come try a Detroiter and bring a friend

AMAZING PIZZA! The Bobo Brazilian is 1000/10!! We were helped by jalen and he was such an amazing server, answered a lot of our questions and always made sure everything came out perfect, I will definitely be back soon!
