The Rest of the Best: Houston's Top 10 BYOBs

Page 2 of 4

7. Pizaro's Pizza

The only reason Pizaro's isn't higher on the list is its bare-bones dining room, which can be sort of uncomfortable and uninviting for those who like to linger. But I have faith that -- in time -- the dining room could eventually match the breathtakingly perfect pizzas that are coming out of the oven here.

6. Just Dinner

Break out the Barbaresco -- this "teeny tiny" BYOB in Montrose offers a small but smart menu of Italian classics like lasagna all'amatriciana and spaghetti with Sunday gravy in a charming, romantic setting. It's perfect for surprising a first date (only if you really, really like them) or celebrating special occasions with big, beautiful bottles of wine.

5. Jonathan's the Rub

Seafood and steaks are the name of Jonathan Levine's game, which makes it fun to bring out the big guns to pair with his New England scallops over grits, spice-rubbed steaks or incredible Black Angus ground beef burgers. Plus, with an expanded patio, there's more room to spread out and relax than ever.
