Pizza Restaurants in New Orleans

New Orleans might be famous for gumbo and po’boys, but the pizza scene here has quietly grown into something you don’t want to miss. Whether you’re wandering through the Marigny after a show or grabbing a late-night slice near the Quarter, you’ll find joints serving everything from thin, crispy New York style to thick, doughy Sicilian slices.

One of my go-tos is Pizza Domenica in the Warehouse District,they nail that perfectly blistered crust with inventive toppings, plus they brew their own beers. If you’re north of the river, get yourself over to Mid-City’s St. Roch Market; they host some great rotating pizza vendors worth checking out on weekends. And heads up,many spots close a bit earlier during Mardi Gras season or Jazz Fest, so if you want a late night slice don’t just assume they’re open like usual.

Pro tip: Try the BBQ shrimp pizza at St. Roch’s La Pizza di Matteo. It's maybe not traditional, but trust me, it's uniquely NOLA and delicious. And don’t overlook the crazy-good brick oven spots where the crust is smoky and chewy,once you try one, you might just stick with those. Pizza in New Orleans isn’t just a fallback food; it’s a legit part of the city’s evolving eats scene.
