Ginger Thai: Spicy and Sweet Fare

March 10, 2015 by

Next time you're tired after a long day at work and don't feel like cooking dinner, why not let Ginger Thai do the cooking for you? This popular Katy eatery serves up a diverse array of tasty Thai dishes, ranging from the mild, sweet massamun chicken curry made with coconut milk to the spicy pad kee mao, which features flat rice noodles topped with meat and a jalapeno, chili, bamboo, basil, and tomato sauce.

Yelp reviewers recommend that you save room for dessert, however, because the mango sticky rice is a refreshing medley of fresh fruit and sweetened rice. Ginger Thai also has a set of kid-friendly dishes, like chicken nuggets, French fries, and chicken fried rice, so if your children aren't adventurous eaters, they can stick with something familiar.

Order the Aloha Pie at Mazzei’s Gourmet Pizza

December 16, 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.
