Houston Pizza: Best we have had is Romano's off of W. Gray. We just moved here from NY and their pizza is pretty damn spot on.
I would also just drive into downtown*. That's where the heavy hitters of food are. One of our favorites is Coltivare but it can be a PITA (pain in the...) to get in. They don't take reservations and the line forms before they open at 5.
*I consider midtown, heights, river oaks, all downtown lol
