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.

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.

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.

The food is quite tasty, but don't expect it to be loaded with cheap toppings. You're here for the quality. Wait staff is polite, but hit or miss in terms of rapport. Was disappointed with the size of the $12 market salad (photo). The caramel ice cream was outstanding. They don't advertise the pots of espresso that they will make for you but it's wonderfully chocolaty!

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.

This was literally the best traditional Italian-style pizza that I have eaten so far in New Orleans!! Hence, the place is cozy and the staff is super nice and welcoming. I will definitely come back soon!
