Customer Reviews
Pizza is not tasty and their straciatella cheese is a wet mess. But otherwise highly recommend dining in here and getting mushroom pasta instead of pizza. Great experience each time i dined in here. The staff are highly attentive and friendly. I was very impressed with the atmosphere, service, and sophistication of food presentation. The white pizza in picture has no cheese near crust. The value is poor. But pasta, salad, calamari had good presentation. The mushroom pasta was delicious.
Houdini Pizza Laboratory completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Margherita pizza and it honestly transported me straight back to Italy — the crust was perfectly crisp yet light, the sauce tasted fresh and authentic, and the mozzarella was incredible. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. I also had the Caesar salad and WOW — the dressing was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The pumpkin seeds were such a unique touch and added the perfect crunch. I loved them so much. Everything felt thoughtfully made, from the flavors to the presentation. Cozy atmosphere, really nice and friendly service, great food, and a place I’ll definitely keep coming back to. Highly recommend!
I recently visited Houdini Pizza Laboratory after reading great reviews online and I had a great experience. I ordered the black truffle burrata, margarita pizza and the special “Garlic Knot pizza”. Their wood-fired pizza is just delicious and the burrata was very rich with the truffle touch, which I really liked it. For me, the sauce was a bit bland. However, the dough was so PERFECT!!! I’ll definitely go back and try the other pizzas. I went on a Sunday right after they opened and service was excellent. It’s BYOB 🍷
Everything was great about this place. Ambiance, food, service. I hope they continue to have the highest quality they do now. Will definitely go back.
I stopped in with my wife last Friday night for dinner. The restaurant was busy but both the food and service were both amazing. We stared out with the burrata. It was one of the best I've ever had. Then we ordered 2 pizzas and they were both delicious. The sauce, cheese and toppings were just the right amounts. Our server was very attentive and did a great job taking care of us. Overall the entire experience was excellent. We usually try to avoid restaurants on Friday nights but Houdini delivered a great experience and they deserve the positive feedback. We will be back.
