I have mixed feelings about this place.
1. The service was mediocre, but after we paid and tipped them, they were much nicer.
2. The pizza was good with lots of cheese, but minimal toppings.
I feel like they are going on the stingy side for the food, but we had the Fiorentina pizza and it was still very good even if they cheaped out for the toppings.
Anyways, my parents, who never give compliments about food, liked this place, so that must mean something.
This place has terrible service!
The staff and manager are rude. not to mention that it is extremely difficult to understand them and when you ask them to repeat what they said they get very irritated.
The food is nothing special!
I do not recommend it

Let me go ahead and make up your mind - get the Fiorentina Pizza!!! Sausage, Chicken, Catupiry Cheese (which is more creamy cheese like - apparently very popular in Brazil), Heart of Palm, Bacon and Corn - The combination sounds a little different, I'll give you that, but be adventurous and give it a try. The Catupiry Cheese gives the pizza this awesome oozy creamy flavor and pairs very well with the savory/sweet meats and the corn adds just a little more of that sweet flavor. The pizza itself was more of your New York style crust. Not the star of the show - it wasn't wood fired or anything, but did a good job supporting all the deliciousness on top. The value is pretty good too. This 16 inch "gourmet" beauty was $14.95, which was only $2 more than the 14 incher - got to go large so you can have leftovers! Speaking of leftovers, you better heat this bad boy up rather than eat it cold. Don't get me wrong, I am one of those weirdo's that likes cold pizza. It's just not as good with this particular pizza is all I'm saying.
I'm not sure if Brazilian Pizza is a new creation or some popular craze in the country that made its way up to Houston, but when it's good - it's good! My only problem is that I live outside their 3 mile delivery area....
Very good pizza. Authentic tasting. Small dining room but cozy. Manger or owner, not sure what he is but pretty rude and pushy.

Next time some of my Brazilian co-workers come here, I'm going to take them here and see if this is really legit.
The burger I got I waited in anticipation for an explosion of flavor in my mouth, but it never came. The X Tudo Burger with Egg, Cheese, Bacon, Ham, Corn, Peas, Lettuce, Tomato, Potato Skins & Mayo. The meat itself wasn't very juicy or thick, which is how I like it vs the traditional well-done patty. Corn and peas really don't add any flavor to it. They just collect on your plate as the fall off the burger! lol
The pizza was just OK as well. Crust was standard and nothing extraordinary. I think I'm more in the mood for thin crust, Italian baked nowdays. And of course there are pizza places like Pizaro that specialize in that rather than Brazilian flair.
Fiorentina Pizza - Sauce, Cheese, Chicken , Catupiry Cheese, Palm, Corn, Bacon & Oregano. Bacon and catupiry cheese were the winners, as again corn doesn't really add anything to the taste.
I'm glad I used the Yelp deal, as there are other pizza joints in town like Luigi's who know what's up and I would frequent more than this place. I guess I'm just not down for Brazilian pizza...
At least this place has some decent pricing and late late night delivery for those that still want to satisfy their pizza urge.
