From the Heart of Texas to Your Neighborhood, We’re Bringing Quality Pizza Home.

From the very first day of business in 1995, it has been the mission of DaddyO’s Pizza to always serve customers delicious, premium quality pizza, south of the 5 boroughs.
The family owned and operated pizzeria was created, via the desire of DaddyO’s’ founders, Nashat Mawad, and his late son Robert, to introduce Houstonians to a unique New York-inspired gourmet specialty pizza experience, combined with a Texas-inspired family atmosphere.

Years later, sisters, Paulette and Pauline stepped in to help take the DaddyO's’ brand to the next level. DaddyO’s hand-tossed pizzas, pastas, salads, and subs are made only with the finest and freshest ingredients. An exceptional blend of herbs and spices is used in the made from scratch, secret family recipe, for our pizza, marinara, and Alfredo sauces. The dough is made fresh daily, and our pizzas are handcrafted with love, creating an unmatched customer dining experience.


For over 30 years, we’ve delivered not just exceptional pizza, but a place for families and friends to gather, dine, and build a stronger community. The most premium item we serve can be found on and off the menu...and that's "love."DaddyO’s Pizza customers are not just customers. They are family. 

Having perfected both our products and our business model, we are excited to welcome new pizza entrepreneurs to the DaddyO’s family through franchise offerings.
