There's a reason that Houston is a perennial contender for the America's Fattest City title: because food is awesome. Whether it be Chinese or Mexican that you're looking for, Houston will have a stellar version of it. The city has long been recognized for its eateries. Listed in no particular order, these are the ten places that sport the Best Pizza in Houston tag.

Double Dave's Pizza Works

If you're looking for a pizza buffet minus the 40 end-of-season Little League celebrations, then Double Dave's is your place.

Ten bucks gets you unlimited pizza, salad, pepperoni bread and soft drinks. Come by on Tuesday nights when you get two pepperoni pizzas for the price of one.

The Bombay Pizza Co.

An Italian favorite with an Eastern influence is what you'll find at Bombay Pizza Co. With pies named the "Slumdog" and the "Gateway of India", you're pretty much guaranteed to have a unique pizza experience. Bombay's downtown location makes this place a great lunchtime option.

Russo's New York Pizzeria

NY Pizzeria (my personal favorite) is a Houston chain restaurant with authentic New York taste. Thin, foldable crust, light sauce, and gigantic slices - these folks hit the nail on the head.

Try the lunch special: a large slice and a soft drink for under 6 bucks!
