About Original Napoli Pizza & Pasta

Original Napoli Pizza & Pasta is a cozy Italian restaurant with booth and table seating inside, as well as a small outdoor seating area. It operates on a walk-up order style, but the staff brings the food to the customers' tables. The restaurant is known for its great service, charming atmosphere, and comfortable vibe that makes it a gem in the Memorial area.

The menu features a variety of Italian dishes, including a Caesar salad with an interesting twist - carrot shreds. The Pasta Napoli, a zesty blend of basil sauce with a splash of alfredo sauce and fresh mushrooms served over ziti pasta, is a popular choice. Customers also love the homemade pasta and sauce, especially the eggplant parmigiana, which comes with homemade garlic knots and house salad. The pizza with anchovies is another standout, with a perfectly balanced crust—crispy outside, soft inside, and a hint of wood-fired char.

Many customers praise the marinara sauce as the best they've had anywhere, and highlight that everything on the menu is delicious. The restaurant is a good spot for a quick, reasonably priced lunch or a relaxing dinner. Fresh ingredients and lots of flavor ensure hot, tasty meals every time. The sausage and peppers or meatballs over angel hair are favorites, consistently satisfying diners.

The owner, known as "Papa Zack," is friendly and passionate about serving generous portions, dubbed "Texas Italy." Customers often remark that they get multiple meals from a single order. The attentive staff makes everyone feel at home, creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. One visitor, originally from Sicily, found this place to be just as good as home-cooked meals, especially loving the pepperoni pizza and vodka sauce pasta.

Overall, Original Napoli Pizza & Pasta offers a cozy, charming atmosphere with fantastic homemade dishes, great service, and a passionate owner. It’s a delightful spot that provides a taste of Naples right in the neighborhood.

We have been loyal customers for over 20 years. Napoli has always been my go to spot for Italian. I have a few favorite dishes that I will always get.
Only thing is- during the pandemic the quality of the food changed and the portions became smaller. We’ve been having more disappointing experiences than positive lately. But when you look at the circumstances it’s understandable. Out of 20 plus years, this is the first time there’s been a noticeable inconsistency.
