I would come back to this place. I visited a city called Corpus Christi, Texas and wanted to try some pizza. From google I went to their website and placed an order. They accept Apple Pay making it super easy. Then I get notifications which I love considering some places tell you a time and fall short making you wait. The crust tasted like butter and the sauce had flavor. Toppings were balanced and the pizza was cooked and not burnt in some areas with a doughy middle. The BBQ wings tasted amazing with no need to dip in a sauce. I still asked for ranch and it looked home made. The final touch was the empty pizza box … gave it a little character. Bon appetite!

Good Service 👍 Fresh Food. Reasonably Priced.

The pizza was good better than pizza chain businesses. The only reason I gave it a 4 was if your order one topping on half the pizza you have to order an 18 inch size which is extremely too much for only two people.The waiter we had was awesome he noticed there was a mix up on my order amd corrected it right away.Great environment, music a little loud but family oriented.

Yall need to go ahead and leave the pizzas in a while longer please. The crust is definitely not raw but definitely not crispy. Shouldnt have to recook 2 pizzas for $60+. Other than that acceptable.

Great place to have margaritas! We tired the BigRed Margarita and it was delicious! Will be back for more..We heard about the pizza but didn’t try. However, we had the shrimp and chicken pasta. Fried pickles and mushroom. It was delicious.It was paperless menu as well. Had to scan the QR code.Off Street parking is free. Other parking areas have to pay(download an app) and they only give 30 minutes. (Can not extend it).

Decent prices. Fresh toppings are used to make the pizza. Pizza was good but I would recommend eating at the restaurant by the time I got to where I was going the pizza became soggy. Still tasted decent. Would recommend

Ate here for dinner tonight. My wife and I were looking for nice local place close to our hotel. This was our first time, but definitely not our last time. We had the meatball pizza. It was excellent. Good flavor and generous with the toppings.Milton was our server. He was very kind, professional and prompt.If you are new to the area or just visiting and looking for good pizza with a good atmosphere and friendly waitstaff this place is highly recommended.

They run a scam with their comedy shows, offering for cash at the last minute for a substantial amount of money for upgrades on seating instead of offering at time of purchase. Furthermore not applying same policies at each show, yes you can eat, no you can’t eat, big inconvenience. Not all staff know what’s going on also at time of shows. Very dissatisfied with the customer service provided. Also no compensation given when a comedian cuts a show short and doesn’t provide a good show.

For a pizza place it was definitely so much more than I expected! From the Manager Bre down to the live comedy show, I had a blast! So if you want great pizza that can even come with a twist, as well as everything being fresh and homemade, then this is the place for your pizza and cold beer! (Ask about the roulette pizza 😉)

We went to see Steve Trevino at the new location. As much as We wanted to enjoy the show it was very hard to hear the comedians. To much echo on the volume and wait staff was making too much noise with the beers. The layout of the stage should of been away from the restroom. People getting up to use the restroom was a distraction to the show.

Normally I do like this place. Enjoy the big red marg, but this recent experience was awful.I clocked out early to get there at a reasonable time, waited for an hour for 1 slice of pizza, and will be going to work late, all for Mesquite St to not bring me my lunch, AND also forget 1/3 of the order I placed to go.Thankfully, they just took it off the check, still not a pleasant experience.

Had a great experience only problem was by the time we got there they were out of some menu choices. Cant fault them as it was a busy day due to graduations. Not a huge selection on their menu, but they offer a few pasta dishes, salads and burgers beside their pizza. Their prices are comparable with those in the city. Will try again.

Review №24

I will NEVER go here again. My fiancé ordered their Chicken Alfredo and the pasta was hot but the sauce was cold. Asked the waitress to have them reheat it which they did. Pasta came back and it was way overcooked and soupy. We asked nicely for them to take it off of our bill because it wasn’t edible at this point. The waitress told us that the manager said that she wont take it off our ticket and only offered us 10% off for the pasta. Not the whole ticket just the pasta mind you 🤬. Also the wings we received didn’t have any flavor, our pizza crust was really burnt, and our fries were cold. OUR BILL WAS ALMOST A $100 FOR TERRIBLE FOOD!!!! I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO NOT GO HERE IT IS TRASH!!!!

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME. Legit a horrible spot. So…they don’t have air conditioning or live tv. They just play music videos on their “TVs.”They overcharge for everything, and it’s poor quality. Food is brutal. I’d check out Aka sushi instead. That place is way better.

I was on a business trip in Corpus and needed to get a bite to eat for lunch. Not too far from my hotel was this quaint little spot. Great service and even better food! I had the pasta bowl with spicy marinara and grilled chicken breast with onions and pepper. (you get to pick what veggies you want added). Enjoyed it so much Ill be back. Want to try the pizza next time. Seems everyone else i the restaurant was having it.

The service was fantastic, very friendly staff. The food was hit and miss. The fries are delicious- hot, crispy, and soft on the inside- the alfredo fries were good but the portion was insane we didnt know itd be so large and it was covered in way too much bacon. The bbq baconburger was good! The wings are good. The pizza was a little dissapointing but its not terrible, just needs a little more sauce and more flavorful crust- but thats just me. Id come back to try their pasta dishes, those looked good at other tables.

Spents quite a bit on pizza here, not from here so had it to go and was asked to go wait outside for my pizza. If anyone is from this part of texas at noon it starts to get hot as hell, so to spend close to $100 on 3 pizzas, and wait in the heat, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE for better service and food!

Pizza here is honestly not good at all..to me it was like chuck e cheese pizza or something.. The spaghetti was literally dry but the meatballs were pretty good...they didnt give me the salad or bread with that...I had wings as well..Those were actually really good but you still get one star instead of 2 for having that hodge twin BS on your site👌

We just had pickup, but while waiting, I learned of the history of the place from whom I believe to be the owner. They were super nice and greeted everyone exactly the same as the person before. Just sitting in the place was great, as you can smell all the prep and I even watched the cooks make an amazing looking Stromboli. I will definitely be going back when I have a chance. The Cajun chicken/shrimp pasta was awesome. And had to get some pizza fries too. Thank you for the great service.

This pizza was DELICIOUS. 🤤😋 My favorite was always b&js but I think this might be my new favorite.The crust was cooked to perfection. The crushed peppers were spicy (which was my favorite part) and they actually had sliced meatballs that we ordered on the pizza, and it was really good. I would definitely recommend this place. At least try it once in your life. 🙂

This place came recommended from trip advisor as I am from out of town but will not be coming back.Ordered at 7Pm online and was told pick up at 7:40 and food was not ready until 8PM. Got the food back and chicken wings we ordered were undercooked and tasteless, the Alfredo pizza sauce was to salty and had to much unbaked flour left on the bottom and was not edible. The garlic knots were hard and side salad was missing from the order. For the price was not worth it!!

Review №72

This place gave me one of the worse customer experiences ever. I had originally ordered 4 pizzas all different toppings, when i received my pizzas (after an hour of waiting) one of my pizzas had the wrong toppings. So just like any normal customer i headed to the front to let them know, the young women at the register proceeded to tell me i was in the wrong and that was what i ordered. I let her know that it was wrong that I knew for a fact i had ordered the correct pizza and i was completely blown off and sent back to my car. I then called to speak with a manager, and she was just as rude as her employees, giving the benefit of the doubt to her employee over the customer, she said she would check the recording of the call, which only proved that i was CORRECT and i had ordered what i told them i had. She then proceeded to offer me to wait another 20 min a new pizza. THATS 2 and a half hours of my time that they took arguing with me about something i was ended up being right about. The level of disrespect and horrible costumer service that they had was astronomical. After finding out i was right, we were too exhausted to to even ask them for a different pizza so all i simply did was ask for some jalapeños. The management toyed with us and never once not one employee apologized for what had happened even though they were in the wrong. I am very disappointed and truthfully would never recommend anyone this place. My girlfriend then later wrote a review online saying her experience and they proceeded to completely ignore the issue and blamed it on the fact that they were busy feeding other people. In summary this place is a complete joke.

Review №73

Disappointed. I would never left a negative review on my first visit and I do realize that this is not a Michelin starred restaurant. I also think that you can expect some sort of standard when you go out to eat. Unfortunately, the standard at this restaurant was very poor. Where do I start? Having entered the restaurant, Honestly, I never complain in a restaurant, because I used to work as a waiter myself, so I know what its like sometimes, but for gods sake, if you charge people, and quite a bit of money Pizza, you must give something back and then charge for the use of a credit card and didnt let me know. The whole thing was a bit like a fast - food restaurant focused on quantity rather than quality Im affraid, the whole time I was sat inches from another person, and could hear the entire conversation that the other couple was having. I strongly suggest to have less tables there, and give people a bit of privacy when eating and talking and trying to enjoy a meal out. I will never go there again !!! It was terrible !!!Dont be fooled, the service was very poor. KFC would have been a better choice !

Well, went down there to pick up some pizzas for some friends at a house party. This place has 18” pizzas that are $34 each. I thought well okay, some upscale pizza joints have prices like this but they do artesian sauces, infused with wine and basil etc and fresh off the block cheeses. Well mesquite street pizza isn’t any of that.1) first off, they barely use any sauce on the pizza, i watched an employee make three while I waited to drink a $16 crown and coke HAHA. These prices haha must be aimed at the tourist season.2) the sauce is very basic, doesn’t taste fresh, and honestly very bland for a tomatoe sauce. No real notes of garlic or basil, not even acidity.3) pizza came out very basic. I have seen better frozen pizzas in the frozen food isle at Walmart.The only reason I decided to leave this review is because their pricing is very out of order. 70$ for two pizzas is very high for something so basic. This place I imagine makes the majority of its revenue on tourists that come to the beach. Let me do you a favor, if you like $5 beers, 15$ mixed drinks and getting robbed BLIND, come here. If you have a brain look, listen to me, PAPA JOHNS right down the road will hook you up with a better looking pizza at literally a fraction of the price. Save your money. If you want to spend this kind of money on pizza, go to Bellino Italian restaurant where they actually do work in their kitchen and take pride in their food. Worth every penny for bellino.

Highly disappointing, went off google reviews only to ask myself why I didn’t just go with a chain.Called in an order and the woman on the phone was non personable and I was shocked when I picked up the pizza. A tiny box that on the phone the woman said the size I ordered was good for two adults. Got back to the hotel and there was 4 slices with little to no pepperonis, incredibly greasy and not sure why there was hardly any sauce... overall I spent $20 w/ a 15% tip to get 4 slices of pizza in a grease box. Would not recommend anyone to waste their time.Customer service 1 out of 5Quality 1 out of 5Taste 2 out of 5Price 1 out of 5Speed 4 out of 5
