NOLA Pizza

It’s after midnight and you’re walking through the French Quarter with a couple of friends. Out of nowhere you hear a rumbling and the earth begins to shake! What could it be? Must be your stomach telling you to take a trip to Angeli’s! Soft crust, thick sauce, and wonderful Mediterranean toppings make for the best late night pizza you’ll find anywhere.

With close to 20 stores, this New Orleans-based chain has continued to bake some of the best pizza in the area. With toppings like shrimp, crawfish, alfredo sauce and artichoke hearts, Italian Pie has a unique taste for you with every visit.

Reginelli’s reliably serves some of New Orleans’ best gourmet pizza at each of its locations around town. With sauces like spicy red pepper, garlic herb, pesto, and spicy smoked tomato sauce on their pizzas, how can you resist?

Rocky’s offers a wonderful thin, crispy crust (white or wheat) smothered in all the toppings you desire. With most of their specialty pizzas named after famous streets in the city, you know from the moment you pick up the menu that you’re in store for a true New Orleans experience. (by the way, there’s a courtyard behind the restaurant where you can eat under the shade of a plantain tree)

Whole wheat crust, alligator sausage, and portabella mushrooms cooked in a real wood-burning stove are just a few of the many delectable aspects of the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen that make it worth a visit. While there are a few locations around town, I suggest stopping by the original store in view of the historic French Market.
