My dad did some work for the guys who opened Star Pizza in 1976, when they were first opening.

They moved here from Chicago, where the vast majority of pizza places deilvered, and were shocked to find that Houston pizza places didn’t. (I’m assuming this was before the advent of chains like Dominos and Pizza Hut. I wasn’t exactly alive then, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.) Anyway, they decided to open their own restaurant. They were the first place in town to deliver.

You should visit if you want some authentic Chicago-style pizza. It’s amazing and messy and loaded with toppings.
