NOLA Pizza Co., New Orleans, LA Report #580

New Orleans isn’t a pizza town like New York or Chicago. I once took an Amtrak train to New York. When we got to my stop we were in an underground tunnel. I went up some stairs and was in the middle of New York city! I had no idea the Amtrak trains ran on…

Stella Pizzeria & Restaurant, Metairie, LA Report #557

I have a friend who’s a certified New Orleans Italian (pronounced EYE-talian by many old school New Orleanians). She’s also very rich. She’s so rich when normal New Orleanians are cutting up potatoes and icing up the Miller High Life to have a crawfish boil, her servants are icing up a case of Dom Perignon…

Rotolo’s Pizzeria, Belle Chasse, LA Report #530

After The Olive Branch Café, this is the closest place to my house to grab a pizza, and I’ve never been here! So tonight, I decided to change that. Before heading over, I went to their website to plan my meal. On it there’s a “Craft & Crust” menu and a “Pizzeria” menu. I accidentally…

Ben’s Pizza, Arabi, LA Report #527

One reason Louisiana is known as a sportsman’s paradise is because we’ve got some of the best fishing in the world. From right here in St. Bernard Parish you can do everything from freshwater perch jerking to deep sea tuna fishing. I love fishing but hadn’t been in a long time. I decided to take…

The Midway Pizza, New Orleans, LA Report #504

I heard this place specializes in New Orleans style deep dish pizzas. I didn’t know such a thing existed! I know Chicago is famous for them. I’ve never really been a deep dish guy. I like thin and crispy crust. But, if that’s what this place is known for, I figured I’d give it a…

Blaze Pizza, New Orleans, LA Report #497

I didn’t know this place existed. We came down here into the CBD to have the COOLinary lunch at Willa Jean. After waiting for a bit to be seated, we were told they weren’t doing the COOlinary lunch today! And they couldn’t tell us why. Well, we had to feed a parking meter to park…

Pizza Domenica, New Orleans, LA Report #484

I had been in the mood for pizza since Friday. That night we had an excellent dinner at a Cajun restaurant named Gabrielle, so no pizza. But I planned to take care of that Saturday night, because we were going to an Italian place called Randazzo’s. Wouldn’t you know I pick maybe the only Italian…

Happy Italian Pizzeria, Harahan, LA Report #476

This place is located on a main drag in Harahan, but the way it’s tucked away in a little strip mall you can drive past it and easily not notice it. Even though I don’t get down to Harahan often, I’m speaking from experience. Passed it many times and never noticed it was there. Turns…

The Crazy Italian, New Orleans, LA Report #475

The last time I was in this place it was Chap’s Chicken, but they ended up moving to Metairie. I liked the fact this space is attached to a convenience store. Back when it was Chap’s, if there was anything you wanted to go with your meal that the restaurant didn’t offer, like beer, hard…

Redfish Pizza, Kenner, LA Report #465

For being on a main street, this place is really off the beaten path. If you look at the maps above in the 3rd and 4th pictures, it’s about the last thing you find before you hit Lake Pontchartrain and can’t go any further. So why even come this way? There is a Riverboat Casino…
