Best Pizza in Spring, TX: Chicago Thin, Detroit, NY and More

Here's a fun way to read the pizza map in Spring: follow the grocery stores. Crust Pizza Co. describes its Gosling Pines shop as sitting in an H-E-B shopping center, its Rayford shop as across the street from an H-E-B, and its Gleannloch shop as across from a Kroger. In the suburbs, pizza night usually starts on the way home from the store.

That doesn't mean the choices are dull. In Spring you can get Chicago-style thin crust cut into squares, a Detroit pan pie with a crunchy cheese edge, New York pies from a pizzeria that dates its fresh-food promise to 1978, and a Venezuelan pastry stuffed with pizza fillings. This guide sorts them by style, then tells you which ones are worth sitting down for and which ones are built for the drive home.

The quick list

• For New York-style pizza with gluten-free, vegan and halal options: Russo's New York Pizzeria, at Grand Parkway Marketplace.
• For Chicago-style thin crust: Crust Pizza Co., with three Spring shops.
• For Detroit-style squares: Jet's Pizza on Rayford Road.
• For pizza with 30-plus beers on tap: Rotolo's Craft & Crust on Gosling Road.
• For a sit-down Italian dinner that includes pizza: Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill on I-45.
• For the pick nobody else will bring to the party: Pastel Pizza's Venezuelan pizza pastelitos on Kuykendahl Road.
• For picky eaters who build their own: MOD Pizza, at Springwoods Village and Gleannloch.
• For an all-you-can-eat family night: Cicis on Sawdust Road.

What we mean by Spring

Spring isn't a city. It's a large unincorporated community, so its edges get argued about. For this guide, a place counts if it has a Spring, Texas mailing address and sits in the stretch between FM 1960 to the south and The Woodlands to the north, roughly from the Kuykendahl and Champion Forest corridors east to I-45 and the Rayford-Sawdust area. We left out restaurants inside The Woodlands' villages, even the ones with Spring mailing addresses, and the FM 1960 strip where addresses say Houston. If you want those, see our Woodlands restaurant guide and the citywide best pizza in Houston list.

How we chose

We wanted a range of styles, not eight versions of the same pepperoni pie. Every pick had to show its Spring address on its own official website as of October 2026, along with a menu or ordering link. Several are regional or national brands, and we say so. In the suburbs, some of the most distinctive pizza comes from small chains, and we'd rather point you to a good one than pretend it's a neighborhood secret.

Hours below come from each official site. They change, so treat them as "typically" and check before you go. We also note deals that restaurants advertise, but specials come and go.

New York and Italian-American

Russo's New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen

Grand Parkway Marketplace, 6633 Spring Stuebner Rd #300 · dine-in, takeout and delivery · typically 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Russo's is the classic move when the group can't agree. You get New York-style pizza, plus a full Italian kitchen behind it. The restaurant says its pizza dough is made by hand daily, it cooks with extra virgin olive oil imported from Sicily, and its lasagna, gnocchi and sauces are made in-house.

The practical reason to choose it: Russo's menu covers gluten-free, vegan and halal diners, which makes it easy for a mixed table. It also takes orders directly on its official site, and it pushes direct ordering over the third-party apps.

I didn't know that: Russo's calls its rule "the Russo family promise since 1978": if it isn't fresh, don't serve it.

Best for: a family dinner where one person needs gluten-free and another wants lasagna.

Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill

I-45 North, 19380 I-45 North #160 · sit-down Italian · typically 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Adriatic Cafe is a family-owned, family-run Italian restaurant, and pizza is where its story starts. According to the restaurant, one of its founders began working in Houston's pizza business while he was in school, and the dough recipe and pizza sauce came out of those years.

This is your pick when you want a sit-down dinner rather than a pizza counter. Order a pizza for the table and a pasta each, and save room for tiramisu. Check the official site for the menu and its wine night.

Best for: date night or a birthday dinner when someone insists on pizza.

Chicago-style thin crust

Crust Pizza Co.

Three Spring shops: Gleannloch Farms, 8714 Spring Cypress Rd · Gosling Pines, 5211 FM 2920 · Rayford, 3535 Rayford Rd · typically 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Crust calls itself the home of Chicago-style thin crust pizza, the cracker-thin style that's cut into squares instead of wedges. It's a regional chain, and it has three shops inside our Spring boundaries.

The quality details are the best part. Crust says it shreds its cheese from the block at every location every day, so the cheese never comes pre-shredded in a bag, and it makes its dough in-house several times a day. Specialty pies, pastas, subs, calzones and zucchini bowls fill out the menu.

Insider tip: the Rayford and Gleannloch shops have advertised Kids Eat Free on Tuesdays. Confirm on the official site before you load up the car.

Best for: a weeknight family dinner, dine-in or carryout.

Detroit-style squares

Jet's Pizza

Rayford Road, 2222 Rayford Rd · order online · typically open until 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Jet's is a national chain, and it's here because it's the easy way to get Detroit-style pizza in Spring: thick, airy squares with crispy, cheesy corners. It also makes hand-tossed round, thin crust and New York-style pies.

I didn't know that: Jet's founder was on his way to buy his first house in Sterling Heights, Michigan, in 1978, according to the company. He signed a lease on a pizza shop instead.

Jet's has offered a discount on menu-priced pizza when you text your order. Check the official store page for the current deal.

Best for: game night at home. Order the corner pieces for the people you like most.

Pizza and a pint

Rotolo's Craft & Crust

Gosling Road, 21101 Gosling Rd · dine-in with a big bar · typically 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Rotolo's is a Louisiana pizza brand. Its first pizzeria opened in 1996 in Baton Rouge's college bar scene, and the company created Craft & Crust in 2016 as a scratch-kitchen version with 30-plus beers on tap. The Spring shop is the one to choose when pizza night should feel like a night out.

Its Spring page has listed a weekday happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. with deals on 13-inch pizzas and pints. It has also listed a Tuesday kids' night with discounted kids' meals and a Wednesday calzone special. See the official Spring page for what's running now.

Best for: a Friday night out where the adults want a pint and the kids want pepperoni.

The wildcard: Venezuelan pizza pastelitos

Pastel Pizza

Kuykendahl Road · order online for pickup or delivery

Here's the one to show your friends. A pastelito is a Venezuelan fried pastry, and Pastel Pizza's signature is the pizza pastelito: crisp dough stuffed with pizza fillings like ham or pepperoni. Its menu also covers tequeños, the cheese sticks wrapped in dough, and potato-and-cheese pastelitos.

I didn't know that: Pastel Pizza started out selling tequeños to order from a family apartment in Katy. The pizza pastelito was created for its first food trailer in 2018, according to the company. It now lists shops in Spring, Katy, Houston and Fulshear, plus a food truck in Cypress.

Order through the links on the official site.

Best for: a party platter that starts a conversation.

Easy family nights

MOD Pizza

Springwoods Village, 2168 Spring Stuebner Rd · Gleannloch, 20212 Champion Forest Dr · typically 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., until 11 p.m. Thursday to Saturday

MOD makes individual artisan-style pizzas built to order, so everyone at the table gets exactly what they want. It's a national chain and it isn't trying to be anything else, but for a family with three different pizza opinions, that's the point. The Springwoods Village page lists delivery and pickup; find both shops on the official site.

Best for: kids who want to choose every topping themselves.

Cicis

Sawdust Road, 315 Sawdust Rd · unlimited buffet

Cicis has been serving all-you-can-eat pizza since 1985, by its own account, and its buffet also includes pasta, salad and dessert. Nobody comes here for a food-world first, but it's hard to beat for a team party or a pack of hungry teenagers. Hours aren't posted on its Spring page, so call or check the official site first.

Best for: feeding a soccer team after Saturday games.

Delivery or dine-in?

• Sit down and stay a while: Adriatic Cafe and Rotolo's are full restaurants with bars or wine. Russo's has a dining room and a long Italian menu.
• Best for a family dine-in: Crust, MOD and Cicis, where kids can be kids.
• Built for the drive home: Jet's and Pastel Pizza. Jet's square pies travel well, and pastelitos are made to be eaten with your hands.
• Order direct when you can: Russo's, Crust, Rotolo's and Pastel Pizza all link to ordering from their own sites. Ordering direct can mean fewer fees, and sometimes rewards points.

Save this: the Spring pizza passport

Five styles, one suburb. Screenshot it and work through it one Friday at a time.

1. New York: a pie at Russo's at Grand Parkway Marketplace.
2. Chicago thin crust: a square-cut pie at Crust, at whichever shop is next to your grocery store.
3. Detroit: the corner pieces from Jet's on Rayford.
4. Pizza and a pint: a 13-inch pie and a draft at Rotolo's.
5. Venezuelan: a box of pizza pastelitos from Pastel Pizza.

Bonus round: pizza for the table plus a pasta each at Adriatic Cafe.

Before you go: a quick checklist

• Check hours on the official site the day you go. Most of these typically close by 9 p.m. on weeknights.
• Weeknight specials (kids' nights, happy hours) change. Confirm before you plan around one.
• Need gluten-free? Russo's says it makes gluten-free pasta and pizza.
• Feeding a crowd? Russo's, Adriatic Cafe and Rotolo's all list catering on their official sites.
