Proud moment for the original.
Last month, Italian journalist Maria Michela D’Alessandro visited us to write about Pizzitola’s Heritage BBQ and the meat we smoke every day in our 90-Year-Old Brick Pits.

Her article was published last Saturday in Cibo, the monthly food issue of Domani.
She captured the heart of what we do — real Texas Barbecue, real history, and the same standard we’ve held since 1935.

Thank you, Maria Michela, for the thoughtful piece and for sharing our story with readers in Italy.

We’re not from Houston. We ARE Houston.
