Order the Aloha Pie at Mazzei’s Gourmet Pizza

October 21, 2014 by

It's easy to see why Mazzei's Gourmet Pizza claims to serve "the best pizza you will ever have," because this popular Katy eatery takes the classic Italian pie to a whole new level. At Mazzei's you'll find unique combinations, like the Aloha pizza, which substitutes pesto for traditional red pizza sauce beneath ham, pineapple, artichoke hearts, bacon, and feta cheese. Or try the Alfredo pizza, which starts with a base of creamy white sauce, piled high with chicken, mushrooms, spinach, and parmesan.

Of course, you'll find classic basil, tomato, and mozzarella combinations, too, and customers are also free to design a pizza with customized toppings. Any pizza can be ordered Neapolitan style or deep dish, and regular customers say that though it takes longer for a deep dish pizza to bake, the wait is well worth it. If pizza's just not your thing, don't overlook the rest of the menu, because Mazzei's pastas, paninis, and calzones are also popular choices with loyal followings of their own.

August 19, 2014 by

If you’re craving a taste of down-home Louisiana cuisine, stop by Katy's Orleans Seafood Kitchen for all the spice you can handle. This is a very casual restaurant with no table service – you walk in, order at the counter and when your food is done you walk up and get it.

Kira Sushi: Ocean Fresh Sushi Rolls

July 15, 2014 by

Texas isn’t a state that’s particularly known for sushi, but the staff at Katy's Kira Sushi are working hard to change that. Starting with the freshest fish available, they prepare a wide selection of rolls and other dishes that seem to delight regular diners.

The menu is anchored by traditional Japanese dishes – start with the steamed edamame or the marinated seaweed salad and move on to larger offerings like the thin-sliced seared tuna with ponzu sauce. Kira's sushi rolls are well-assembled. Traditional offerings like futomaki and more inventive creations like the Victoria’s Secret (spicy tuna topped with whitefish tempura, scallop and special sauce) are very adeptly made. They also have beef dishes if you'd prefer something besides sushi!

Kenzo Sushi Bistro: Fresh Sushi in Katy, Texas

June 17, 2014 by

Sushi bars are judged on two main factors – the freshness of the fish and the ability of the chefs to turn it into spectacular presentations. Kenzo Sushi Bistro in Katy excels on both counts. This local favorite has been pleasing palates since opening in 2007, offering both traditional dishes and more fusion-oriented fare. Located in the La Cinterra Center, it’s a top-notch place to bring a date or a group of friends.

The menu is extensive, with some favorites from the more traditional side being the thinly-sliced hot rock beef that’s cooked tableside on a heated stone and the delicious eel rolls. The more experimental rolls also win raves – check out the Houstonian, made with spicy tuna, cucumber, fresh salmon and avocado, or the Atomic Roll with spicy salmon, jalapeno peppers, spicy tuna and chili sauce!
