| ★★★★★ I recently visited Houston from NY and wanted to try a halal restaurant down here. Took a look at zabihah.com and noticed Crespo with all these positive reviews. So me and my family decided to go there...and boy were we not disappointed. The food, especially the pizza, was amazing. Possibly the best pizza i've had and I am from NY where we are known for our pizza. Crespo makes everything fresh and tasty. On top of that its 100% zabihah. We had the supreme pizza and it was amazing. I wish we could have tried every type of pizza, but I definitely will be going here again before I head back to NY to try something else. Another plus is the owner is very nice and friendly. He makes it a point that you are being taken care and that you are enjoying the food. If you are in houston you MUST visit Crespo |

| ★★★★★ This place is just amazing. Everything from cleaniliness to customer service, down to the food.. EXCELLENT!
Owner is very friendly and personable. Food is fresh and taste is always consistently good!! I love their italian roast beef sandwich and their pizzas are very authentic as well!! Yeah, the place is small and kind of hidden but iA, with enough business, he can expand or add locations.
Note to the owner: Please open a location in 1960/290 area. |

| ★★★★★ It's what everyone else has said it is. Pizza is absolutely delicious, made fresh with top quality organic ingredients. I'd been deprived of good pizza since I'd left the East Coast but this place is definitely on or beyond that level. Last time I was there I met the owner, really nice, friendly guy -- one of my friends dropped a slice of pizza and he saw it and said don't worry about it, picked it up, some minutes later we got a new a slice. |

| ★★★★★ This is one of the best pizza places I have been to. I have tried a lot on the menu and have been impressed with everything (except the buffalo wings, but I'm not a wings type of guy).
The service is great, and the owner repeatedly assured me everything was halal. The pizza is really, really good. And it's consistently good.
I've had halaal pizza's before, but this was orders of magnitudes better. Service was great. First time I came here, I talked to the owner and asked about the halaal food and ordered a medium pizza... he upgraded me to a large for free...! Impressed my guests and friends as well...
The place is kinda small though. Maybe 4-5 tables, and a patio area, but I have no complaints. Great service, great food.

| ★★★★★ I had the meat lover's pizza. It was awesome! I asked whether the pepperoni was made from halal beef. He told me that the place was 100% halal and no pork products are used. I recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting houston. |

| ★★★★★ Amazing, I don't know how anyone could possibly knock this place. Mashallah this is the best pizza I have ever eaten an my dad has owned two pizza places... I promise you will not be disappointed, if u are I Houston you must stop by here before you leave if not u will regret it. As for halal or not it is 100% Zabihah, once u talk with the owner u will not doubt it and if for some reason u still do he has a bunch of paperwork to prove everything. Go support ur fellow Muslim, loved the pasta and pizza I drove 8hrs to try it and it was worth it |

| ★★★★★ We were craving italian food so we decided to see if anything was in the area. It turns out the we stumbled across Crespo on Zabihah. Probably one of the only halaal italian places you will find. We decided to give a try and were really happy to do so. On top of being halaal, the pizza dough is organically made, and they import their cheese from wisconsin so you can tast the incredible flavor. The pricing was decent and the food was outstanding. Although the location is a bit out of the way for most, it is well worth the drive to finally enjoy a full menu of halaal italian delight. |

|
| ★★★★★ This place is stellar and Zabihah. Its been around for over 5 yrs - I moved to LA for two yrs and am back to Houston and the quality is still top notch!!! The Italian Supreme is AWESOME!!! The guy orders Wisconsin cheese!!! The salads are crispy and super fresh! The lasagna's are done rrrrright!!
The place is quite small so going there with up to about 4-5 people in your party is ideal - otherwise get take out!!! The bummer is he closes on Sundays...guess he needs a break!!! It's all about quality at Crespo!!! |
|
| | Houston, TX |

|
| ★★★★★ Every time I come here I am not disappointed. The pizza and wings are AWESOME! I ordered wings for a bridal shower and my friend ordered a few pizzas for her office party so they definately can make large orders happen. I am not a really big fan of the sandwiches though. Tried out the chicken parmesean and the gyro. Not to say that I wouldn't try out their other items, but now I just stick to the pizza and wings! |

|
| ★★★★★ Finally, a Halal pizzeria! I had to travel all the way to Texas to try one, though.
The pizza itself is great. It's thin crust, and the cheese is great. The sauce is just a little sweet (reminds me of the way pizza is made in Cleveland, OH), but still very good.
I have to tell you, I was VERY skeptical when I walked in, and I asked the owner twice if the food he was serving was halal. He affirmed me it was on both occasions.
He also had prayer rugs and our family prayed our Asr prayer there.
I left the pizzeria absolutely impressed, and the next time I visit Houston, I plan to eat there again. |

| ★★★★★ Thanks to Zabihah's recommendation we (family of 5) visited this location. Ordered Halal pepperoni and fitness lover's pizza, interviewed the owner asking how he gets the halal pepperoni. We are satisfied with the owner's detailed explanations, we could now eat meat lovers Halal pizza in Houston from this place without any hasitation. I also inquired about the delicious pizza crust, the answer was it is made out of organic wheat. I conclude that owner has a sensible food business vision which he is applying it to creat a great menu no one can match. We sat outside in the patio under the shade and enjoyed our food in the cool breezy environment. We also ordered roast beef sandwich and pasta which met expectations. Plan to repeatedly visit and try other menus soon. Owner's personal attitude was great.
Thank you.

| ★★★★★ Tried the turkey sandwich (score: 9/10) and the roast beef sanfwich (7/10). The roast beef was a bit dry, and not as tasty as the turkey sandwich. Restaurant is pretty small, but the patio is great on a nice day. |

| ★★★★★ I want to clarify about the food being halal -- one the reviewers mentioned that nowhere in the restaurant or menu is the word 'halal' mentioned. Actually, the owner maintains two menus and I saw both. Both look exactly the same except that one contains the word 'halal' while the other doesn't.
Also, the owner showed me the certificate validating his claim that the meat served is halal.
But for me, Alhamdulillah, a Muslim's word is enough. I don't need to see any certificate or menu that confirms the food being halal. As long as the owner claims it halal, it is halal. And this is the view of the scholars. It is not the job of individual customers to investigate the owner's claim.
By the way, the food is fantastic! |

|
| ★★★★★ Food is excellent, we ate pizza, chicken gyro, spaghetti with chicken parm and all the food tasted great exspecially the gyro. Owner is really nice, the only thing is that they have no sign that the food is zabihah, not even on the menu. |
|

| ★★★★★ I have tried halal pizza in many restaurants but ALL OF THEM WERE GOOD. But when I ate the CRESPO SUPREME I realized that the rest were really bad. First of all the restaurant is really nice, you feel like home, second the decoration is very nice simple and very clean. Third the pizza was DELICIOUS, the desserts are awesome specially the baklava. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THE RESTAURANT. The owner was very nice and polite, he approached to the table and e talked with us a little bit. I think that the reviews and the rate that is has is talking by itself. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING TO HOUSTON A REAL ITALIAN PIZZA. DELICIOUSS!! |

| ★★★★ I had an exceptional time at this restaurant. My family was visiting from the Northeast and this is where I decided to take them-they all loved it! I liked the decor outside the restaurant too--there was a nice tent set up. The food, particularly the barbeque pizza was pretty tasty. Highly recommended halal food. |

| ★★★★★ Finally, a great halal Italian place in Houston! Regarding its status of halal, the owner is a very nice person who constantly reassured us that the meat is zabihah halal, specifically ordered from some Muslim warehouse in Iowa. He said he had the certificate -- I took him at his word. The food was great, ESPECIALLY their pizza. We got the meat lovers and it was very tasty. The crust, slightly crispy. The cheese - high quality. Sauce, good. Not too oily, just right. The stromboli was also good as well as some other pasta items. I'll be going back. Indoor seating is very small, but nice enough to sit down with some friends/family. some outside seating also. Owner was very nice and caring. |

| ★★★★★ Assalamu alaykum. I think the commenter lovehalaal was probably speaking to the non-Muslim workers. My husband personally knows the owner who is Muslim. Ma sha Allah I love this place. I can't help but get 2 orders of the breadsticks when I go there! I love their spaghetti and their cheese pizza too. |

| ★★★ After reading the excellent reviews on this establishment, I decided to try their food a couple of weeks ago. I was disappointed by the owner/manager who responded to my Salaam with 'good day'. There were other customers in the store, so I only asked if the food is halal & he confirmed verbally. The food was average but nothing outstanding. When I left, I was greeted with 'bye'. I probably will not return to this place where the owners appear to be ashamed of being Muslim. |

| ★★★★★ Very highly recommended! The best pizza we have so far! Halal meat, generous ingredients and toppings, not greasy at all and very delicious! We really enjoy it and will come back for more. Two thumbs up for the service and the owner is very friendly. He goes all out to ensure that he provides halal food for the Muslims. We are very grateful for that. Alhamdulillah! |

|
| | Houston, TX |
| |
|
| ★★★★ We ordered 2 pizzas and they were so good. I can say for sure we will go back. The only thing I did not like was that the owner did not have a HALAL sign anywhere in the store. He gave me verbal assurance but I wouldve still prefer seeing a sign. |

| ★★★★★ This is the first time I have been to eat at this restaurant and it was excellent. My wife and children loved the PASTA, the sandwich and specially the Tiramisu. I would recommend anyone to give it a try. The service was also very excellent, on-time and very friendly. |

| ★★★★★ I had pizza here today. I first thing I asked was what was halal. I was informed they everything they served was halal. They were not selling anything that was not halal, which is great. The pizza was excellent! It was very well done & the toppings were good in quantity. Other than the good quality food I found that place to be nice clean and comfortable! |
|
| | Houston, TX |

|
| ★★★★ The Crespo Italian Supreme that I ordered was very delicious. With thick, crusty bread and generous amount of beef, pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, green pepper, black olives and onion. The owner assured me that all of the beef product are halal. Good choice for the good time. |

| ★★★ Poor inside seating. No AC that day. We ate out. It was OK. Pizza was greasy. Midamar products. |

|
| ★★★★ Great pizza. Owner said the buffalo wings were not halal. So ask about each item. If he says x, y, z items are halal (i hope he means zabihah) then since he's a Muslim we can go for those. Dont go with the roast beef, its not worth it. |
|

| ★★★★★ Went there last night and tried their pizza. It must have been one of the best pizzas I ever had. The crust was great and pizza was loaded with toppings. Owner assured me everything on the meat pizza was halal. Will definately go back even though it is a haul for me coming from Katy. Highly recommend this place. |

| ★★★★★ This place is GREAT!! A friend reccommended it and boy was he right. The owner is a Muslim who said he orders the meat from Iowa to make sure he gets halal. NO PORK is in this place at all (unlike some so-called halal pizza places). He does not sell alcohol.
The place is small, but has a great pizza place feel with dim red lighting and stools. We enjoyed the patio.
My husband got the lasagna which he said was some of the best he'd ever had. I had the roast beef sandwhich (hot) and I can't stop talking about how good it was and I ate it half an hour ago! Mmmmm crusty, flaky bread, the right amount of mayo and lettuce and some great roast beef with cheese melted just right.
This place really knows how to do Italian/American in a halal way. It was so worth the 15 mile drive (one-way) for us. I plan to go every week inshallah! |

| ★★★★★ The owner is a Syrian Muslim. He showed me his packages. He buys meat pre-packaged online from one of those places like al-safa but it starts with an M. I can't remember. Anyway, I tried the chicken parmesan sandwich. Pretty good and about 5 bucks. Nice clean environment with a few outdoor umbrella tables as well. |
