Pastel Pizza
Pastel Pizza will open a second permanent Katy location this spring, co-owner Rosa Revilla said. The eatery sells an Americanized version of traditional Venezuelan street food, called pastelitos. Pastelitos are puff pastries filled with ground beef, chicken or queso fresco, but the owners use pizza ingredients, such as pepperoni and mozzarella cheese, for some of their products.
