Dolce Vita Pizzeria & Enoteca

500 Westheimer, Houston, TX 77006-2932
(713) 520-8222
Marco Wiles's pizza joint is, to some, a blatant rip-off of Mario Batali's Otto in New York City -- but who cares? The fact of the matter is that it brought better pizza to Houston and showed the city that there's more to pizza than just the oversauced, overcheesed pies served at sleepovers and Little League games. These Italian-style pizzas feature thin crusts and high-end ingredients, like the noteworthy pear-and-taleggio pizza. Appetizers are wonderful too, from the roasted beets with horseradish to a buttery egg toast topped with shaved black truffle. Although Dolce Vita was temporarily closed by a fire earlier this year, the restaurant is back now and as good as it ever was.

Gabe I totally disagree, when Dolce Vita opened, Batali wasnt as popular. It is obscene to compare the majesticity of a real Native Italian place as Dolce Vita to Batali's American concept. Before doing such statements check the history on it. Dolce Vita is the # pizzeria in the U.S and probably better than any Italian places back in the old boot! Thx GC
