Some background: The owner, Kazem was a Civil Engineer by trade and never imagined becoming a restaurateur. However, in 1991 a friend of his had opened a small pizza restaurant and he and Kazem joined forces. Through this joint effort, this small pizza place began experimenting with different menu items and ingredients and later changed and expanded the menu. These guys were the innovators of the wings and pizza combo in Houston. Eventually more locations were opened, and the chain eventually expanded to 12. As is the case sometimes, future business plans and creative differences resulted in a partnership split. In 2010, Kazem took his one half of the restaurants and renamed them, “Pizza Fino”. In Italian, the word “Fino” has several meanings, one of them is “fine” and in Spanish it means “the finest” or “high quality”. If you have had Pizza Fino pizza (as well as other featured items) you will agree that it is indeed high quality and delicious.
Pizza Fino is proud of the quality of its food and the freshness of ingredients used. Kazem told us that everything is made from scratch daily. He is proud to say is his restaurants use all fresh ingredients such as the mushrooms and basil; no canned items with long shelf lives will be found at any Pizza Fino location. He also wanted us to know that no dish is ever prepared ahead of time, each order is carefully prepared with sauces made from scratch daily. Although Kazem knows that it takes more time and requires additional logistics to ensure that ingredients are always fresh and of the highest quality, he believes it is worth it, and you will too when you taste Pizza Fino’s pizza,pasta and more.
