This may just be the best pizza in the state of Texas. This modest little hole in the wall doesn't have fancy décor, but the 20-inch Mama's Special is an outstanding experience, with a warm, chewy crust and savory seasonings. Ask for plain cheese or any combination of 12 tasty toppings. If a 20-inch pizza seems like too much of a great thing, there are four smaller sizes available ranging from 8-16 inches. Try the lunch buffet and get all-you-can-eat pasta and salad to go with this terrific pizza.

The pizzas here are also heavenly, and come in both thin-crust and deep-dish varieties.
