The rich history of Shepherd Drive BBQ, now Pizzitola’s Bar-B-Cue, can be found on our walls. From the 1930’s to the present our little location has been bringing people together to enjoy great smoked meats. Take a glance at it today when you visit us for Enchilada Friday!! #PizzitolasBBQ #HouBBQ #BBQHistory #HoustonHistory

Great meal as always with @baustinjack, Jacqueline, and the awesome team of @brettsbarbecueshop. Serious conversation about food and supply costs.

RIP @packysaunders

This certainly is a tough one. Much love to his family and all his friends. Thankful for all the great conversations and meals shared together. A true artist.

We got something to tell y'all. However we can't let you know until next week. Pretty sure most of y'all have been waiting for "it" for awhile now.

Seriously deep craving for Brisket Enchiladas for a long time now. That craving was met today @brettsbarbecueshop. Unfortunately could not contain myself and had to order a little bit of everything. Traveling with a newbie to Brett's. Don't think it'll be his last time either.

Nice meeting fellow BBQ adventurers today. #HouBBQ #BBQLife

The first day of Fall & everything came together; good friends, perfect weather & a tray of some of the finest BBQ in the land. As always, great service. Nuff said.

Incredibly honored to have @bbqsnob stop by and tell our story.
The path isn’t always easy, but damn, it’s worth every step forward and backward to reach your goals.
