The Shahini family story

One family.
A story still unfolding.

From a first pizzeria in New York to neighborhood tables across Houston, our story has always come back to family.
  1. 1987

    A first pizzeria.
    A family’s future.

    Our family’s pizza story began in New York in 1987. A young man opened his first pizzeria, determined to provide for his family, and poured his heart into the work.

    Brooklyn roots.
    A Humble beginning.

    In June 2006, the Shahini family opened its first Houston-area Brooklyn Pizzeria in Humble. A new city became home, one neighborhood table at a time.

  3. Growing together

    More neighborhoods.
    The same family spirit.

    What began in Humble grew into neighborhood pizzerias across the Houston area. Mike Shahini and his sons Jimmy, Ilir and Sammy continued building the family business together.

    Today, we welcome guests at 12 Houston-area restaurants, with the same love of good food and bringing people together.
