As an Albanian myself, totally not surprised by his energy. If you know us, you know we’re extremely hospitable as people. Not surprised he gave Dave the pizza on the house either.
I’ve been eating at Brother’s Pizza since 1984. I was 5 and my mom took us to the mall to shop. We ate Brother’s Pizza every time. Nothing has changed. The way Joe treated Dave is the exact same way they have treated me and my family for 39 years. I live an hour away now and still go to the HWY 6 location once a month. Joe’s dad is still prepping cheese and dough like he did when I was a child. Love the family and stoked Dave made it over there. Best pizza in Houston full stop.
The one in cypress is hit or miss. Last time I had it was disgusting unfortunately. The one in Katy is the best brothers but I feel like 7.2 is a fair score
To see a person as happy as that pizza owner is inspiring. He has a genuine happiness that radiates and makes me smile. God bless him and his pizza joint!
I live in the Houston area and very familiar with Brothers Pizza and the family. These people are the nicest people you could ever meet, and their pizza is pretty spectacular as well.
I’ve been eating this pizza since I was in junior high……30 years ago…..and it still tastes the same as it did back then. My first job was Frulati Cafe in West Oaks Mall and Brothers was right next door, would get the hook up every night with leftovers. Absolutely love this place. I live in Willis/Conroe now, but have specifically made the drive out to Katy just for a slice…..and a pie to take home. Was hoping for a higher score, but those who know, you know Brothers is the best pizza!!!
@Douglas Brucker There's one in Magnolia and two in the Woodlands, each run by one of the kids. You don't have to drive to Katy, but I understand since that's what you grew up with. I grew up with the Greenspoint Mall location, but that's not there anymore so we frequent the locations that I mentioned above.
Brother's is a 9.9-10 on our scale, grew up with those guys, went to school with the kids, delivered beer to their original location in a mall when I was in the beer business. Great family, great pizza, glad you got to come down and sample it.
Been eating at Brothers since 2004. Amazing pizza. I live in NY now and STILL dream about their pizza.. had it delivered 8 boxes high for my graduation party in '04. Just YUM and the actual brothers and family are extremely nice and genuine as can be. I'd score them 8.5 personally on the One-Bite scale.
Born and raises Houstonian, havent seen his score yet but can confirm the good vibes here. My family took me here as tthe most special of treats and it wss the best pizza I had growing up for sure. Glad they're getting the exposure
So glad he reviewed this place, been eating it since I am a kid. They had one in a mall outside of Houston. Odd place but surprisingly great. Shout out to Hisa if hes still around.
Im so happy you went there, ive always wondered what you were going to score this place. He is amazing person and is always having that energy when i got there. Ive been going there since 2006. Have an amazing day Dave.
Born & raised in H-town, this was always my favorite spot. Yes, they treat everyone like family, & yes, there’s a line out the door most days of the week.
First time in a while I guessed the correct score! Would’ve been high 7’s if they cooked it with a little burn tho. Also the owner was awesome, you can tell he’s a genuine dude.
I have the honor of having Brother’s in my city. This is my location. I’ve met the owner and the guys up front, great people. This is the best pizza in HTX. Portnoy should’ve gotten it extra crispy if he likes it more well done, would’ve been a 10/10. I prefer the doughiness myself so I don’t mind the regular. If you’re in Houston and need pizza, this is the elite of the elite, the top of the top.
This is the best in the city. Should have been a high 8 for sure. I hope this makes their lines even longer. Great family great pizza!!! I’ve been begging for him to go here from the start.
Brother's pizza is amazing! I go there all the time! They are nice as hell, good fast service too!!!! I do love how he pronounced Katy freeway "Catty freeway" haha
I used to go to this very brothers pizza when they were in West Oaks Mall! I was no older than 5! My mom would by my siblings and I a slice and eat our crust bc we were poor! But the whole family was behind, the serving bar! Always happy, friendly! And when they left the mall, WE WERE DEVESTATED! Years later, they opened this very location! And the people were going in crying! I think I was in 6th or 7th grade, probably 13? still my family's FAVORITE! and WILL ALWAYS BE! THANK YOU JESUS FOR BROTHERS!!!!❤😂
I started eating brother's pizza back in high school at West Oaks Mall and still eat there till this day in Spring Texas and the pizza always the bomb... Love that place!
I’m so glad y’all reviewed these guys! I’ve always lived in Houston and don’t even like pizza really and this is my go to spot if I’m in the mood for some.
If the hug was coming from your profile picture then Dave would give a great hug. We all would. And the hug wouldn't be the only thing that's long, everybody knows the rules! 😆😆
I've been going there forever. The best fresh ingredients. If you want it crispy just request it. No Problem. They make it by hand with gas ovens! I love Brothas pizza! All of Houston goes there!!!!!
53 years in Houston and never been to Brother's. As soon as you opened the box I could tell it wasn't going to be your jam but the family alone probably bumped it into the 7's. Doesn't matter. Houston and Texas for that matter definitely isn't know for pizza. Good watch.
Finally, a pizza I have actually eaten. I ate at the two in Phoenix and they were good! It is better than any other pizza out there in the west valley(az).
@@howtocooke they opened a new pizza spot by the bashas on called Lucky’s pizza which is a solid 7.4. If you like a real Detroit style pizza right across the street from them is The Rec pizza, really good. Both are on 99th ave and deer valley.
@@REDHOODTHETURTLE I had Lucky's and must have caught them on an off night. It was WAY under cooked and complete mush. The REC was so so. It had a weird flavor I was not a fan of. Tasted like cinnamon or something.
I've been eating at Brother's since I was a child at the location where Joe has been specifically (started in the mall down the road from where it is now). Best pizza in Houston imo. Joe is the freakin man! He recognizes me and calls me out by name every time I walk in.
I grew up on Brothers Pizza in the 80s at their original West Oaks Mall location... before they opened this spot. Always been the best NY slice in Houston!
Started eating Brother's Pizza at West Oaks Mall many years ago and regularly stop by the same location Dave visited. That family is awesome and wasn't putting on an act for Dave. It's a solid NY style pie.
I think the score is spot on. I’m from Houston, but lived in Philly for 3 years as well. Brothers is the closest thing I’ve found in Houston that resembles east coast pizza. I like ordering by the slice, because they throw the slices back into the oven to warm them up. This puts a crisp on it, which is how I like it. Side note…it’s the Katy freeway lol how did he say Caty?
This is my go to spot here in houston. Moved here 10 years ago from jersey and this is the closest to what I grew up eating. And the owner is always that nice every single time I come in...definitely not for show. 100% genuine!
Dave asking which location he’s at? One option is the freeway location which he’s staring at that is visible in the reflection in the glass behind him. LOL😂
I've had pizza from this location several times. Decent football pizza (high 6s/low 7s) but not much more. Kind of glad they didn't remake him a well done pie but gave the one they would normally sell. They're consistent and the guys working there are always pleasant.
I’ve always wanted to eat at a place dave scored and this place happened to be 2 miles from my job. The son was there, and same for the younger dudes at the counter. Really cool environment.
Houston has great food but isnt particularly known for pizza, but every Houstonian knows Brother's is legit. It's about as close to a NY slice as you'll find in our city.
If you are in CA, Gianni’s (in Monterey, CA) is amazing. CA actually does have some good pizza spots, especially where you have larger Italian populations.
That dude's energy was infectious. I'm all for juicing scores when you see an owner like that.
Yup! Businesses like that are the backbone of our country.
Seems like a genuine guy.. Glad Dave gave a solid score to help 👍
As an Albanian myself, totally not surprised by his energy. If you know us, you know we’re extremely hospitable as people. Not surprised he gave Dave the pizza on the house either.
Never juice a score, stay consistent.
I'd love to work with that guy making pizza

Greenspoint Mall! My favorite pizza in Houston!
I can't believe I've never seen this video, I'm going to this Friday night with my girl for sure.
Greenspoint mall man those were the days
I used to work at west oaks mall in the 90’s when they were in there. Always great pizza. Great people
The one in cypress is hit or miss. Last time I had it was disgusting unfortunately. The one in Katy is the best brothers but I feel like 7.2 is a fair score
Dave's looking right at the freeway, doesn't know he's at the freeway location, everybody knows the reflection.
Because what everybody really knows is that Dave’s never heard of a freeway. He’s always on the Highway.
My thoughts exactly
@@sighfly2928 omg lmao
it's houston texas, famously terribly designed city where there are more freeways than people
Can barely hear him over the freeway blaring in the background 😂😂
One bite everybody knows Dave’s happy he’s finally taller than someone

Try cocaine.
I'd like to have what he's having.
@@cubanheelsbeerbelly He's having nothing. It's that laid back southern hospitality. It rub's off
7.9 should be the juiced score, everyone knows the world needs more families like that.
Can’t give almost 8 to a low 7’s no matter how nice the owner is.
@cactaceous We can do whatever we want.
Yeah rite corny af
He don’t judge on niceness
@@cactaceous agreed, if there actually were rules, one should be that you can give +/- .5 for the people
Belongs in the 9’s for personality alone what a great guy.
If this is the same brothers here in Az 9 all day
Y'all high AF
@@garrettchapman8170 pizza was a 6 at best
Maybe if the pizza didn't look like that

Been eating brothers pizza in spring for over 20 years
Literally lived across the freeway from this pizzeria. It's so crazy seeing Dave in my hometown.
Always refreshing to see genuinely positive people.

Dave is the greatest pizza reviewer of all time. Even if he's a delicate flower.
It was completely quiet in Dave's hotel room, everybody knows the rules.

Yes, but the voices in Dave's head were loud.
I'm overwhelmed with all the joy in that man's heart!

Dave met the closest thing to a saint he's ever had on the show. That guy has a soul of gold.
Wow. I am now eating at brothers pizza from now on. What a great guy!
For mediocre pizza? Why?
@@keithquinn5624 I bet it's way better if you order well done
Brothers is a 9 compared to other houston pizza. This city has no idea what pizza is unless a NYer moves here to open a place
@@xxdeftones86xx that’s what I’m saying. Besides Carlos bakery pizza, Houston doesn’t have shit.
@@keithquinn5624 don’t get brainwashed by Dave Portnoys palate. These pizzas are incredible.
What a great guy, if everyone was half as happy as he was, the world would be a better place.
it would be like the lego movie
Love brothers!!! So happy to see them being recognized for their amazing hospitality
So glad he reviewed this place, been eating it since I am a kid.

Nah, 30 min in NYC is nothing. It's not about the drive, it's the parking that's the bitch up there.
Dave's from Boston???
@@vamperon he lives in New York???
@ams914
thought Dave said an hour
That dude's dad looks amazing for his age! Cheers!
First time in a while I guessed the correct score! Would’ve been high 7’s if they cooked it with a little burn tho. Also the owner was awesome, you can tell he’s a genuine dude.
Been to this location many times. So good.
Yeah. It would've been a 7.4 minimum if it was cooked a little longer. Joe the owner is such a delight though!

Holy crap Dave actually cracked the box before his opening monologue, thus allowing it to cool down a bit and not burn his face off.
Never really want it in a a box it etilll steam it an ruin an good pizza in the box but your also right 😂
Always crack the box to let out the moisture, that's pizza for dummies rule #1.

Juiced score or not , never forget how many Dave helped out and kept in business during the covid bs. Like he said it isn't just about the pie.
You know it's for sure in Houston when you can see an abnormally high elevated highway in the reflection of the building
I’m so glad y’all reviewed these guys! I’ve always lived in Houston and don’t even like pizza really and this is my go to spot if I’m in the mood for some.

GIANT freeway in Dave's view. "I don't know which location we're at"
Bruhhh that genuine attitude adds a whole ass point maybe two.

If you want a few little black circles on the top crust and you want that crispy bottom crust that won't flop you have to order it well done 👍🏻

Been commenting for ages for yall to go here finally! Been going here since they were at west oaks the owners family are all awesome
THAT'S A JUICED SCORE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, DESERVED!

$5 for a big one topping slice and a fountain drink!
Omg! I love that man! He acted like you were his distant cousin..
Prez "I don't know which location we're at? It's either the ... Freeway or Garden Oaks"
Freeway overpass in the reflection in the window lol
Brother’s is my family’s go to spot. My kids love this place. Always great.
I kid you not, I thought that was Paul Rodriguez working the pizza shop. Uncanny
Why does the owner look like and act just like Weeman. Tons of positive energy
"kady" freeeway....classic lol
“I drove half an hour to get here”
Welcome to Houston my man lol
I go to the one off Skinner RD in Cypress. My favourite pizza since moving here
I live here been eating this since I was a kid. Stoked he came here
I love people with such positive attitudes.
7.2 pizza + that guy’s energy?! Worth the trip for sure!
there family is so genuine.
I loved Brother's when I lived in Houston. It was the closest to NY style I could find. Nice family owned place.
The son is so dope man lol. what a good dude
Honestly I’ll support businesses like this regardless of the score. I love how happy these owners get ❤
One bite PAUL RODRIGUEZ knows the rules !!
I have hit that point where I have watched enough of Dave's reviews to guess the score spot on😂
This guy DESERVED a juiced score. Everybody knows the rules.
Hands down.. such a great and benevolent presentation.. critique... spirit.. you rock Dave... and you are appreciated. tc
Houston has great food but isnt particularly known for pizza, but every Houstonian knows Brother's is legit. It's about as close to a NY slice as you'll find in our city.
Thought that was Paul Rodrigues for a solid ten seconds there when the owner cam storming up to Prez.
The thumbnail and the 5minute length of the video indicate a great review
This is your best one yet been following since you came to Delco
If you are in CA, Gianni’s (in Monterey, CA) is amazing. CA actually does have some good pizza spots, especially where you have larger Italian populations.
The Prez’s shirt is bangin’. Glad to see the Prez has a heart. He’s a benevolent Prez, a man of the people.
Everybody knows he grabbed the slice with the bubble!
You have to try Sauce’d Pizza in Grapevine, Texas!!
If you ain't first, you're last.
That man is build for business. He keeps eye contact at all times.
I love stories like this, what a beautiful family
man I KNEW the 7.2 was coming!! I'm getting too damn good at these lmao
