Rome wanted to take all that was great in ancient Greece and make it its own. In the same spirit, this Italian pizzeria offers a delectable Greek gyro. Even inside the thick pita, waxed paper, and foil, the seasoned lamb shavings were almost too hot to taste at first. But, oh, that dill-flecked tzatziki, creamy and piquant! Nearby conversations about college classes and the relative merits of different saddles fade away as you’re transported to some place in the Mediterranean, or maybe just Houston—but definitely not West Texas. Beer & wine.
