The North Houston area brewery Southern Yankee Beer Co. is developing a new concept called Southern Yankee Crafthouse at 1312 W. Alabama St., Houston. The restaurant will serve Southern Yankee brews and other drink options along with wood-fired dishes. According to social media posts, the former Good Dog location is being renovated to add more outdoor seating, including a covered patio.

Austin-based Home Slice Pizza confirmed plans in March that it will open its first Houston location at 3701 Travis St., in Midtown sometime this fall. The location will primarily serve to-go and delivery orders, including its signature walk-up window that stays open late, but it will also have a large patio space and a handful of indoor dine-in booths. www.homeslicepizza.com
