RC’s Pizza: A Kingwood Original

December 16, 2014 by francis

RC's Pizza promises to deliver authentic New-York-style pizza to Kingwood-area residents, and regular customers say this award-winning pizzeria it does just that. RC's is the brainchild of RC Gallegos, who started seriously experimenting with making his own pizzas as a teenager. When he realized that his home-cooked pizzas tasted better than anything he could order from one of the major chains, he opened RC's Pizza where you can enjoy a flavorful pie.

For a true NY-style pizza experience you should probably order a plain cheese pizza and fold each slice in half as you eat it, just like they do in New York. But the rest of the pies are good, too. The Godfather pizza is a favorite among customers and includes pepperoni, smoked ham, mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onions. The Texas pie is RC's tribute to local flavors, and uses a base of spicy, house-made barbecue sauce to offset chicken, red onion, mozzarella, and cheddar toppings.

The Union Kitchen: Creative, Fun and Fresh

October 21, 2014 by francis

The build-your-own bloody mary bar on the weekends might be reason enough to visit The Union Kitchen. This Kingwood eatery is well known for fun and innovative ideas like the bloody Mary bar, including a menu that encompasses multiple global cuisines and a dash of Southern hospitality.

The ingredients used at The Union Kitchen are incredibly fresh since the chef makes twice-weekly visits to a local farmers market. If you go with a group of friends, consider ordering some of the small plates to share so that you can sample a range of different tastes from the kitchen. Try the tempura fried lemon topped with fennel, broccolini, asparagus, bell pepper, and just a touch of lemon oil. Pair that with a halved avocado stuffed with blue lump crab and cotijia cheese for a contrasting flavor profile, and pick out a few more dishes just for the fun of tasting.
