I literally just left from getting a pick up. I originally called it in the person who answered the phone was nice took the order said it was 15 to 20 minutes. Most of the time when people say 15 to 20 minutes that means that it will take 15 to 20 minutes for the food to be done. Not in this situation when I got there, the food had not been started, my husband and son waited inside for it for approximately 15 to 20 minutes for them to finish it. I’m not sure if this is how it usually tastes, but I will compare the noodles to the noodles that you get at the mall food court pizzeria. The meatballs were fine. The pizza was also salty as well as the bottom of the appetizer bread. $110 later and not impressed.

I’m guessing if you do not like the sauce, then you wouldn’t like much of the food here as it’s the same sauce on everything. We are tourist and wish it was a better experience.

Sorry guys ,, this just does NOT have the true Neapolitan pizza flavor that that style pizza is known around the world for !! I understand you guys are VPN certified but there is something not right with the pizza . Dough flavor is not there , sauce flavor is not there and cheese also just does not measure up to what it should be . Also , pizza was over cooked , burned , not charred in few spots . Also , the atmosphere is not of a Neapolitan pizza place , more like a steak place . Pizza is supposed to be a fun experience when eaten at restaurants. This is a fine dining pizza place, and the 2 just do not go together . If you have never had a true Neapolitan pizza this will be a far distant cousin . Best Neapolitan style pizza I’ve had in the states is at Varuni Pizza in Atlanta .
In Naples , I’ve eaten at pizza da Michele , Sorbillo pizza and other top establishment , this pizza at Odi unfortunately does not compare . Call it wood fired pizza but please do not advertise as Neapolitan VPN pizza . It’s just not up to par IMHO ..

The showstopper oven greets you upon entry. The staff is friendly and ready to explain the menu or help you build your own pizza creations. Steak options start after 5 pm . The crust was lightly charred, crisp outer edge with light pillowy fluff inside . The crust under the toppings had the right slight firm to hold toppings but slightly giving for a great fold! Ask me why they only cut it in 4 pieces and will do 8 on request! Wood fired pizza lovers know for sure! The dining area and bathroom were clean. Now let’s talk about toppings - caramelized onions - well does not state they are red onions. Grilled chicken does not state herb grilled chicken ( off putting herb could not place and had to pick it off). Ricotta was bland needs salt. Questioning the validity of the salami being Sopressata . And then the dough … it was lacking depth. I understand they are not a DOP place so if you are a Napoli woodfired pizza lover this may not quite hit the spot of fulfillment. It is a good spot to have a meal with the family or friends. Just ask questions before ordering a topping!
Edit after owner reply ….here down… the ricotta was chunky, dry and grainy and not as described . My husband was certified as a pizzaiola in Italy . We toured and devoured many pizzas in the numbers 1-13 Napoli pizza spots in Naples Italy. We know Napolitano pizza . He grew up there and we went in 2019 for him to get certified. We have very refined taste. The shipping of ingredients and controlling temperature while shipping from Italy is a situation of itself. And just because it is shipped from Italy and a DOP product does not ( and yes I understand the crap I will get from saying this) does not guarantee it is always the same product every single time only that is certified to be grown and prepared in the traditional way and certified in some way to a region of origin. Clarification of ingredients used as stated is necessary. We wish you and your crew all the best as not every pizza made will be to exacting standards no matter how much humans try. No ill will is meant to this establishment or its methods . Just want to be clear for everyone to understand what to ask about before ordering . Expectations are not what we get from assuming an ingredient on the list is literally what is stated.

False advertising. The Chicken Piccata is $27.00 and it was swimming in olive oil , had NO lemon taste to it, and came with orzo pasta in it!?!? The description of the dish had the words lemon and butter in it and there was no taste of either ingredient. When it’s under thr heading “Pasta” would you think that the pasta would be orzo? How many times have you ordered lemon piccata and it came with orzo? We asked the waiter for garlic bread before and it never came out. He didn’t refill the one person that had water at the table. Not attentive and anticipating the needs at the table. The three pizzas that we ordered came out under cooked and doughy Olive Harden has better pastas and larger portions and they are not charging $27 for a substandard pasta dish.

I’m not going to leave a bad review because if you’ve ever tried to make pizza napulitana at home, you know how finicky the dough can be. The flavors are all there, let’s get that out of the way. Importing all the ingredients really pays off for the actual flavors of this pizza. But if you look at that crust profile, my corniciones were pretty collapsed and dense. I need to see exactly how the dough is being prepared to know where it went wrong. But most people don’t even eat the crust, so it’s probably usually not a big deal. I brought my own hot honey to dip the crust in, so I was a little disappointed in its texture. The bottom of the crust had nice leoparding, but it might’ve been plated too soon or not racked at all, because it wasn’t so much crispy as it was kinda soggy, but this might also partly be the dough or the stone’s fault. Overall, if you’re a regular Corpus Christian who isn’t super critical of food, you will love it, but then again you’ll probably be disappointed that it doesn’t taste like Peter Piper’s, so you gotta have a little bit of fancy in your blood to appreciate this. For me, the search continues for the perfect Neapolitan pizza in Corpus Christi.

It's not just a pizza place, so much more. If you visit Corpus Christi and miss eating here your trip is incomplete. The best outside of Italy
