5 reviews for Big Humphrey's Pizza and Italian Restaurant
This place is named for the owner's father, a 1940's era wrestler name Big Humphrey.
The decor is eccentric. I know of no other restaurant in Houston with either of the following two themes: (1) 1940's beefcake photos of wrestlers and weightlifters, many of them apparently clipped out of old magazines and framed, (2) an outhouse-on-wheels theme that is repeated both in the smoking and non-smoking rooms.
I sort of get the wrestler theme... But the outhouse on wheels?
I thought it was not-quite run-of-the-mill Italian food. I'd have given it two stars, but people at other tables were getting burgers that looked pretty good.
My second time at BH's...
I was alone at the store but wanting something light for dinner. So, I looked over the menu and order the antipasti which includes an assortment of meats (store bought pepperoni slices and rolled up slices of deli ham), cheeses (packaged, sliced american, provolone and pepperjack) and veggies (lettuce, celery, cucumber and a whole tomato).
It was served with whole kalamata olives (very small and pitted), peppercinis (non-existent) and anchovies (very dry and mushy).
Arranged on a bed of lettuce (I guess we can exclude lettuce from the veggies above then), diced tomato (I guess we can exclude the whole tomato from the veggies above then) and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, white vinegar and italian spices. The oil, vinegar and spices were included as described.
There was no saving grace from this disgrace of an appetizer and I could not continue to sit through the processed cheeses and salty meats.
This on top of the 1oz lasagna portion that I had last visit are really turning me off from this place even though they claim to be a Pearland favorite/landmark.
I am going back to try their "Pearland's best-kept secret" steak soon and if this doesn't wow me, I'm not going back.
Oh yeah... the garlic bread was burned and soggy! I'm taking away another star right now just for that!
This place should change the name to Big Sadface as far as I'm concerned. Sono venuto, io ho mangiato, io mai non sono ritornato.
I don't think the food is awesome, it tastes like fake Americanized-Italian food to me. It seemed like it had the decor of a Texan styled restaurant more than an Italian theme. I think its a great place for people with kids because most kids were so entertained by the idea of creating their own pizza....so that is pretty unique in that aspect. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon...maybe when I have kids.
The best pizza in the world love this sooo much and the bread pudding to die for, its worth the drive and if any waiting for the kids enjoy making their own pizza, Im going to say its awesome!!!!!
Awesome! A Pearland institution! The pizzas are loaded, the burgers are great, and the pizza burger combines both.
