Mesquite St Pizza & Pasta Co

We were in Corpus for the day and wanted some good local pizza. Found this pizza place based on the reviews. There were 12 of us, 4 adults & 8 kids. The wait was short considering they were pretty busy, service was great. Our server Joseph was fantastic, it was only is first week and did an amazing job. Oh and the pizza was amazing as well, you need to go here and eat pizza when in Corpus.

Great choice for lunch. We had the cheese pizza and the Johns Lasagna pizza. Both came out quick and were quite tasty. Off the beaten path with a great atmosphere. Staff was nice and helpful but not overbearing. Will certainly stop by again next time we are in town.

We stopped here for some pizza since we have been craving it since we arrived in Corpus a few days ago. First impression was a little trepidation since it does not seem to match with the rest of the street. However, upon entering we were greeted by very friendly servers and a fun upbeat atmosphere, even at 11 o’clock in the morning.
This place doubles as a comedy club, so on certain nights you can come and eat pizza while being entertained by a standup comedian. There is a full bar as well as a full menu. We were offered drinks as soon as we walked in the door, and handed our menu. We kept it simple, each ordering a small house salad to be followed by a small meatball pizza.
The salad was really good, and the crowning glory was the house dressing which was similar to Thousand Island but with a definite kick.
The pizza itself was delicious. The toppings were fresh and hot, but my favorite part was the crust which was thin and crispy, perfectly baked. I would recommend trying a pizza with two toppings or less however; as tasty as their pizza was, the plethora of toppings seem to weigh down the thin, delicate crust. The sauce was not too sweet.
One thing that was a little put offish was that on the bill you were offered two tip options as is common, but as you can see from my picture 15% isn’t even one of the options. By only offering an easy way to tip 20%, 30%, or 50% (and who on earth tips 50%), this makes the customer have to do the math and figure out a custom way to tip 15% which is actually considered customary in all restaurants. This isn’t a huge deal, and yes, I can do math, but it just was kind of irritating since it was presumptuous on their part to automatically assume that they deserve a 20% or higher tip. We gave them 20% because the food and the service was excellent, but it still struck a nerve.
All in all, great place to go in Corpus for some yummy pizza.

Came here for supper one night since were on vacation here from Houston. My wife and I have been searching for a good pizza place here in Texas since leaving Illinois a few years back. We walked into this place and were happily surprised by the upbeat surrounding, great looking drinks, and friendly servers. We were seated and our server Randy took our drink order, I had a Jack ‘n Coke, my wife had a big red Margarita. We received our drinks and wow, they were perfectly mixed and tasty. When we ordered our food we were looking for an appetizer, we told Randy we wanted the pizza fries and Randy (must have seen we were not from here) advised us of their fettuccine Alfredo fries instead, So we took his advice and were not disappointed.
Our pizza was perfectly baked with great fresh ingredients, and a perfectly crispy crust.
To sum it all up, come here for the great pizza, great drinks, and excellent staff.
Randy was awesome and we were very happy how advised to something that he knew would give us the best experience.

Great food no doubt about it. A little pricy and they charge fifty cents for ranch with your pizza. Pizza was nice and needed a napkin to dry the grease up. Great service.

Great service. Wonderful food would’ve given it more stars but they penny pinch $.50 for an extra cup of ranch sticks in my crawl personally I will not be back in less something changes

the wife loves the big red margarita.
a must try.

Awesome pizza and a fun crowd. Thanks!

As a visitor to Corpus Christi I was looking for a funkier area than was near our hotel. This place was great. Located in an area with several other interesting options, the service was friendly and efficient, and the pizza very good. Super thin crust. Plus there is a comedy club upstairs. Good music playing. Go for it!

Great food and service! Pizza comes with a twist and cynical game of pizza roulette! Spin your try and try to avoid the fire pit!

The staff was very nice and seemed happy to work there! They have great drinks you can’t get anywhere else, like the big red margarita! Pizza is the best in town and the burgers are too! They tend to get extremely packed on the weekends so I would suggest going on a weekday if you want fast service. Oh, and they also have comedy shows on the weekends! This is a very fun place on the weekends!

Looking for a place to eat dinner (after 10pm) ended at this restaurant. I had the bacon avocado hamburger, with French fries, everything was delicious and fresh. Staff was very friendly.

The Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger is a rectangular beef patty topped with crispy bacon crumbles, avocado, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onion… and it is INCREDIBLE! We went to Mesquite Street Pizza & Pasta Company, fully intending to try the pizza. I mean, you go to a pizza place for that, right? But we’re always open to suggestions, so we let the waitress know it was our first time there and asked for her recommendation. She told us about this burger.
It’s funny — we’ve tried quite a few burgers and wonder why some places struggle to keep them juicy. This was not a question that ever formed here… it was juicy and delicious! The ingredients were fresh and perfect — not a mealy spot on the tomatoes, nor a brown blemish on the avocado. Even the red onions were perfectly crisp, sweet, and didn’t scald your senses. Such a great combination of flavors and all on a soft, sweet bun. Killer sandwich!
For sides, we tried the onion rings and the fries. Both were good, but the fries were seasoned in a way that made you want to devote yourself to a plate of them.
Crumbling the bacon on the burger seemed like an interesting choice until you realize the reason… it’s easy to bite in to! You’re not having to tear through bacon. The cheese melted over the bacon held it onto the beef patty and they definitely did NOT skimp out on the bacon.
​You really just can’t go wrong with this burger — it was perfect! We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu, but if you’re like us and it’s your first time heading over there, yeah… give that burger a go!

The pizza was decent. the staff just didn’t care to wait on you and was extremely slow. The do have snazzy mixed drinks so if that’s your thing but basic

This place is everything!!! Our pizza, cheesesticks, and our wings were very tasty. But our server John was the most amazing! We will definitely be back!!!

Not what I expected. Long wait and not very tasty. I heard this was the place. Wouldn’t recommend.

Pro: Really good Pizza, crust not too thick, crisp, good sauce. Very good wings, we had the garlic parmesan because they were out of the buffalo sauce. fast service.
Cons: Out of buffalo sauce? Easy to make! Eating off paper plates on a small table took a little skill. Music a little loud for a Sunday dinner with grandma but I get it is a restaurant bar.

The five stars are not just for the food but also for the exceptional service this place has!
The pizza is baked in a 65 year old pizza oven brought in from Brooklyn.
It’s thin, crispy and baked perfectly!
The atmosphere is very casual and perfect for a meal with family or a group of friends.
They are also a comedy club called Chuckles. We’ll definitely be back for that one night.
Very nice bar area!
Great spot Corpus Christi is lucky to have!

This was exactly what we wanted. Pizza crust was crunchy and they aren’t shy with the toppings. Very friendly service. There is a comedy club upstairs and brings in some pretty names. Try this place out! Laid back and good food!!!

After driving for over an hour we finally found the comedy club which was located inside this restaurant, we decided to grab some food before the show started.
John was the person I spoke with on the phone with help in finding the comedy club and he was also our waiter. He was very apologetic and eager to make up for our troubles. The drinks came right away, we ordered appetizers to start, dozen oysters and 10 bbq wings, which came in minutes after ordering, perfect coz we were starving. Everything was delish, John checked on us several times, and when the show started he was very kind and generous, thanks John for a great experience!
