Since I rounded up my review of Johnny's on 18th St from 3.5 to 4 stars last year, I'll be fair and round up this review from 4.6 to 5 stars. Mimi's is definitely better than Johnny's. The dough is more flavorful than the Bisquick biscuit mix style they have at Johnny's. And I can identify what is on my pizza. That was a stretch of the imagination over there. This is definitely New York style pizza. It has the soggy mushy crust in the center, and the dough becomes a little drier and more chewy as it radiates out to a crispy edge. Thin crust. I've learned to take a small bite at the pointy end of my slice and a small bite at the round edge and chew these together to get a better balanced chew. Then I work my way towards the center of the slice. I traveled for over 25 years in my job, so I've had pizza all across America, some were NY style (although I never had it in NYC, just in other parts of that state).I walked in and ordered this a little after 3pm on Saturday, Oct 21, 2023. I had errands to run, so I requested a 4:30 pick-up time. That was fine with Colby since he had 3 customers ahead of me. I ordered the 16 inch pizza with Italian sausage, bell pepper, and onion. Total was $27.60. I put down $30 cash. Got $2 change. They DID NOT HAVE any coin change except for pennies. ? ? ? ?♂️ So I said we would settle up when I returned. I came back at 4:35, and Colby saw me drive up and brought the pizza out to me, which I appreciated. I had some loose change in my car, plus some in my pocket, so we went inside and I traded $2 in coin for 2 $1 bills from him. Then I got my 40 cents change.As for the pizza it was good overall, did not get sick, but I never tasted any oregano or basil on it. To me, those 2 herbs make it Italian. I stopped in about 2 months ago soon after they opened to check on ingredients to be sure I could eat there (I have digestive problems with soy (common vegetable oil) and additives such as MSG (Accent) flavor enhancer and sodium phosphate). We were good - olive oil and didn't sprinkle Accent on it like Newk's does. And the young woman cashier assured me they used oregano and basil because she had worked at other pizza joints where they did not know what those were. Yet I didn't taste any herbs and didn't see any herb flakes. I ate some cold the next morning for breakfast and still didn't taste any.I eat a low salt diet, so I found this pizza to be a bit salty. I chose not to get pepperoni for this reason, but either the dough or the mozzarella cheese was saltier than I prefer. And the Italian sausage was also salty, plus I prefer more anise in it, like the brand I buy for home. It did have bell pepper and red onion on it, but I would have preferred more, a bit skimpy in my opinion. Overall, I liked this pizza. Turns out the 16 inch pizza was actually 18 inches, so more than I expected. It IS better than Johnny's. But I still prefer the artisan style pizza I like to get at Billy's Pizza in Vicksburg, Frank's Pizza in Shreveport, and that pizza I got at some brewhouse on US Route 2 along the New Hampshire / Maine border in February 2004 when there was snow on the ground.

Close enough to a real PIE to me. That dough had that slight crunch to it too.

Save yourself a lot of trouble. This hole will be closed in a matter of months. Let me tell you why. No effort. Any place that acts like their customers....are like...uh...not understanding the needs of the business. You know, the business that you are trying to spend your hard earned money at.Keep that subpar novelty pizza.You say you are open till 2AM. Roll up there at midnight and hear, how dey tryin, but can't get no labor, like the TV says. Soooo, there is a crew right there at midnight. Two more hours. Dafuq? Hate for you to miss Enoch's.I feel bad for business owners today.Heard the pies were just okay. Wanted to try for myself. Never will.

The pizza and crust were perfect; the sauce is not what people here are used to... It has a tang and tastes very New York. Highly recommended!
Ordered a 1/2 Supreme 1/2 Margarita pizza. Service was great! Pizza was delicious. Will definitely be back!! Excited to have this place in the area!

The New York style pizza has a unique texture and flavor , the pizzas are extremely large and so are the pizzas by the slice , this is a new business that has plans for even more and better things to offer in the near future, the people are friendly and the pizza is

Thought finding actual pizza in Louisiana was impossible. Grew up in NJ with NY style pizza, so finding this spot was great. Hopefully the locals here will appreciate ACTUAL pizza and support this business. Johnny’s is NOT pizza, Mimi’s Pizzeria is!
