Ordered the Enzo Diavola and it was great! The chili paste is spicy but not too much. You can order it on the side as well. All pizzas are the same size. Two adults shared one, 3 slices each.

Stumbled upon this place and had an unexpectedly perfect meal. Neapolitan pizza was excellent. Veggies grown in their own garden. Prices reasonable. The guy that took care of us really cared about the food, service and experience. Strong recommendation. Unpretentious but incredibly thoughtful menu and execution.

Not sure how this place stays open. We came in during peak lunch hours on a sunday to be 2/6 people. We had to wait 30 minutes for a sparse meat plate. The pizza came shortly after and was good however did not make up for the terrible service.

Best pizza in nola. This place rocks. True Italian style pizza you won’t find anywhere else. The Bianca is my favorite, it’s delightful! As an appetizer they make a mean arancini and I get it almost every time I dine in it’s that good.

Absolutely lives up to the hype. The staff here knows how to make a pie that would make your nonna shed a tear.

Perfect bake and a really excellent variety of flavors.

I order the Puttanesca pizza and it was a salt bomb. You could not taste the ingredients due to how salty everything was. My wife ordered the margarita pizza and it was bland. We love a thin sauce but this was so watery that the crust was soggy. No need to go back.

The pizza was delicious if youre looking for Neapolitan style pizza. We tried the orange italian soda and the thai basil italian soda and we all preferred the thai basil better. The lady let us know the herbs are fresh from their own garden across the street. We ordered 4 pizzas, 1
Per family member because we love this style so much! This includes our little ones that are 6 and 2 years. Definitely will be coming back for more.

This is an odd restaurant. The food was actually quite good - great pizza with a nice crust, and a good salad dressing. The specials all sounded intriguing as well. The servers were all very polite and attentive. I'd go again based on the above facts just stated. However, as the atmosphere is really dismal and sort of depressing for this large space, we won't be going back for this reason. They really need to change just a few things - new furniture, better lighting, maybe a paint job - and this place would be much more attractive to visit.

Delightful! They tend their own garden, have a wood-fired pizza oven, and the employees make off-menu items for funsies. My drink had homemade grapefruitcello. (Next time I go I'll have a drink using their rosemary and shiso homemade syrup.) Black pepper and olive oil ice cream with peach cobbler for dessert.
