FOOD Review: Double Dave's Pizza offers fine pizza, friendly atmosphere

Confession time: Before last week, I had never been to a DoubleDave's Pizzaworks restaurant before.

I really can't say why. For many years, I lived near a New York-style pizzeria inside the Loop, and that was my go-to spot when I had the urge for a slice or two. But I had no firsthand experience, and also on preconceptions about, the family-oriented chain DoubleDave's.

But when a new location opened in Missouri City about a month ago, I decided to give it a try, along with one of usual dining companions. I have to say, I'm impressed. The location on Highway 6 is very convenient, and is sure to be a draw for families in the greater Missouri City/Sugar Land/Stafford area. The location is the chain's first one in the area since another closed several years ago.

Inside, the large dining area has a very comfortable feel without a lot of flourish. There's even a small couch near the entrance for people who may have difficulty during a wait at the counter.

Adding to the kid-friendly atmosphere are some of those old-fashioned games in which you use a mechanical claw to try to grab prizes, along with gumball machines. No animatronic bands, though.

Outside, there's a large patio with picnic tables and playground-style games, which several kids made good use of during our visit.
