Amazing Brooklyn style pizza in the warehouse district. Stopped by this place on there grand opening and grabbed a couple of slices while walking the dog. Super thin crust, just like I like it, the topping were high quality, love the added touch of the fresh grated parm, can't say anything bad about this place to be honest. Currently there space is small with only a few stools inside for counter seating and a few tables outside HOWEVER....they are currently renovating the space adjacent to them and plan to open a full service restaurant so I'm told. Can't wait for this gem to blossom! Go check them out! read more

Forbidden Pizza - Pepperoni Slice & All the meats slice - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I bought a whole pie to go, same one that Portnoy tried. I had high hopes, but honestly, I thought it was just OK. I saw a lot of other great-looking pies in the display case, so I plan to go back and try of the other options. For now, the tomato pie at St. Pizza reigns as my #1 pizza in the city. read more

Excellence joint for quality thin pies with a wide variety of flavors to get your fix on. We would return here because of the prompt service and knowledgeable bar service. read more

Great pizza. Whatever sausage they're using really delivers on flavor. This could be as good as it gets for pizza in NOLA. Worth the short stroll into CBD. read more

Forbidden Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This pizza was fire!! My daughter never likes any of the pizza shop we go too, but at forbidden she had 2 slices..

When I saw Dave Portnoy give this pizza an 8.3 I had to try it! We were in New Orleans for my wife's birthday and she loves pizza so what better time than to stop in and see if his rating was justified. It's located in the city of New Orleans so obviously parking is going to be hit or miss. We ended up getting a spot about 2 blocks away, it was after 7 so the street parking was free. It's a walk up and order type place so that's what we did, walk up and order. I looked at the menu beforehand so I wouldn't be holding up the line. And there is definitely a line. They were very busy. I ordered the whole pepperoni pleaser and a slice of the forbidden fruit pizza. The forbidden fruit was delicious! Stick with me here, it's a pizza with fig jam, bacon, and mozzarella. It sounds crazy but it actually works and it was actually the star of the show! The pepperoni pleaser was exactly that, loaded with pepperoni. While it was good, it is LOADED with thick sliced pepperoni which made it a little greasy, actually a lot greasy. It's a New York style pie so it doesn't really hold up well to very many toppings. Still a very good pizza. If you don't mind it a little greasy and a little hard to eat then you won't be disappointed. In the end we actually said that we wish we had ordered the whole forbidden fruit. It was really that good. You will seat yourself in the small seating area and they will bring out your pie in a few minutes. Don't think this spot is going to be a typical date night spot, because it's not. It's downtown New Orleans in the heart of everything and it's loud, pretty loud music and lots of boisterous people. We would definitely go back, we would just order a different pie next time. read more

Great new pizza bodega in the CBD, their special slices are particularly great. The cost is a little pricy but this is as good a pizza as any you will see in NOLA. The difference here is the crust. I dont know what they put in it but the crust here is different from anywhere in the city and it is excellent. read more

I stopped here really quickly before a night out and I cant wait to go back! I ordered 2 pepperoni pleasers and asked for fresh basil. The inside was cute, everyone was friendly, and the service was quick. I will return for a whole pizza soon! read more

We ordered the fig, honey and prosciutto pizza. It was crispy. Too crispy. Like it tasted like a cracker not a pizza level of crispy. I wanted desperately to love this but I just didn't. I'd prefer St. Pizza for a more authentic NY style slice of pizza. read more

The pizza was the best I've had in the greater New Orleans area. It's the best crust chewy and the perfect crisp. I've had real New York pizza and have been looking for some place that could compare in New Orleans and I'm glad to say I've found my place. The only bad part is now I'm going to crave a slice everyday. read more

Fabulous NY Style pizza. Very friendly and helpful service. Love the new bar and bartender. I ate 2 giant slices on Wednesday and Thursday so I have tried 4 different varieties. The Italian Stallion is the best but really liked Forbidden Fruit and All for Tru. Only request is a Happy Hour drink Special. read more

Tried Forbidden Pizza for the first time and wow--absolutely blown away. I had both the Original Sin and the Pepperoni Pleaser, and they were outstanding. The undercarriage on both was perfect--crispy, balanced, and held everything just right. The toppings? Insanely good. You can tell real thought and quality go into every ingredient. This is easily some of the best pizza you'll find anywhere around. A must-try spot for any pizza lover. Also, the vibe is great and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back. Cheers read more

Good customer service. My fav is the fig one and my husband who is a picky eater likes it too. My daughter keeps the cheese with basil. The she thic isn't that good tbh but the pepperoni was crispy and saves it a bit. The people at the counter are always kind and helpful. I've been here so many times read more

From a New Yorker, the claim of Forbidden pizza being from Brooklyn is a far cry. What makes it NY style is that one can order it by the slice and not by a whole pie. We ordered on a Sunday evening and had hour wait...that's normal time since the wait up in Jersey/NY is about 45 mins to an hour for a pie. We ordered the Four Play (four cheeses): had sauce and tasty ingredients but for a 4 cheeser, it was lacking cheese - it's more like a 3 play...or a sad hand job. Garden of Eatin' was lacking cheese as well- pizza slice was super thin, although the taste was very good. My husband came in and sat down, looked and the first words out of his mouth was, "where's the cheese?" Forbidden pizza has fresh ingredients, but lacking the ingredients for the 20" pie they boast about. NOT NY STYLE PIZZA. Way too thin, no dripping of the oil as you fold the slice in half, and not enough cheese. Forbidden Pizza is forbidden in my household. We went to Zees after dropping $96 on two pies and truffle dough bites (no truffle taste). Zee's Pizza uptown boast Jersey/NY style pizza and it's true!!Freaking Delicious!! read more

This place is legit. It's up there amongst the best pizza in the city. Apparently I was in the right spot at the right time heading to a Saints game and passed this place. It was their grand opening and they were giving away free pizza and ice cream. Bing Bang Boom! And for the female Yelp reviewer who rated this place only a 1 star review but gave Papa John's a 5 star review, please lay off the illegal narcotics. read more
