Italian eatery Anthony & Luca's Pizza Kitchen will open its first Houston-area restaurant along Jones Road, the business announced on social media.

What they offer: Anthony & Luca's Pizza Kitchen specializes in New York and New Jersey-style thin-crust pizza, which may be ordered by the slice or as a whole pie, per its website. The fast-casual restaurant also serves traditional Philly cheesesteaks and other sub sandwiches.

Additional menu items include a variety of Italian street foods, such as panzerotti, calzones, fried ravioli and arancini balls, as well as wings and desserts.

More details: Founder Brian Petruzzi said the restaurant sources its pizza dough from Brooklyn and its cheesesteak rolls from Philadelphia. He also said the Houston shop will serve ribeye from local Texas farms.

Located at the corner of Jones Road and Ranchstone Drive, the Cy-Fair pizza shop marks the first Texas franchise location for the Florida-based business, Petruzzi said.

More moderate prices have led to an influx of homes hitting the market, according to the Houston Association of Realtors' February 2026 housing market update. While there was a slight decrease in home sales, buyer activity has increased across the region.

The gist: According to HAR, property sales of all types compared to February last year have dwindled by 3.3%, with 7,024 properties sold. Despite this, the number of properties listed has risen by 14.3%, with 55,710 properties now available. 

According to HAR Chief Economist Ted C. Jones, the Houston housing market has been “bottoming out” for the past several years and is now returning to pre-pandemic levels.

As it stands right now, the median price declined 0.9% year over year in February to $322,078. Homes have also been spending more time on the market this February compared to last February—the average days spent on the market for a home went from 60 to 69 days, which is the highest it’s been since March 2013, when the average time was 74 days.
