This is not a serious business.

I was in the area, and saw this place.. never tried it before, so decided to give it a shot. I should of known the signs.. there were no cars there.. red flag, but I ignored it.. when I came in, there was only one worker.. she was the hostess/waitress/cook.. some tables still had trash, she wipe down our table, and didn't dry it until we asked her to.. anyhow, we had the following items: - Veggie Special - cheese, onions, mushrooms, olives, tomato, lettuce, bell peppers, and artichoke hearts - I can't believe I even ordered this.. the pizza was so bland and it was not worth it at all - Seafood Platter - Crawfish, catfish, & shrimp, served with garlic bread, fries, corn nuggets, jalapeño hush puppies, and seafood dressing - how can you really go wrong with a seafood platter.. this place does it really wrong I would probably never return here again.

Alesi Pizza House has been a favorite of mine and my family for years. In my opinion, they serve…read moresome of the absolute best pizza in Lafayette. Every time someone asks where we want to eat, Alesi is always at the top of the list. I'll admit, I usually order the pizza because it's just that good, but the few times I've ventured into other items on the menu, I've never been disappointed. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. It's truly sad to hear they're selling the business. Alesi isn't just another pizza place--it's a Lafayette staple and a place that has created so many great memories for families like mine. I sincerely hope the new owners preserve what has made this restaurant so special. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and go while you can. You won't regret it.

So, when we finally returned to Lafayette I couldn't wait for my family to experience the most authentic Italian restaurant in the city. The decor had not changed one bit, so I had hope that nothing else did. Alas, it did. We had pasta and pizza, and neither was anywhere near what used to be served here. The spaghetti and sauce looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp long enough to dry it out, and the pizza was so underwhelming that my son considered having me evaluated for speaking of this place so highly. I've come to learn that the third generation is in charge now, but it's apparent no one cares in the kitchen. To rely on the name alone will not change the fact the sub par food is being served. I will consider that it may have been an off night. It happens. But in Lafayette an off night will cost you a customer who will never return. Competing with Imoelli's, Marcello's, and now Saricca's and Cugino, you're going to need to step it up. Pizza Artista has some of the best pies in town, and it puts to shame what came out of Alesi's kitchen. I wish someone could save this institution. It was a tradition, but now they've lost the tradition.

Nice building, good service, good food!…read more I came in town for a family gathering and caught up with my dad for lunch. He chose BJ's. The building is nice, there's plenty of parking in a huge lot, and you get sat pretty quickly. There's PLENTY of seating. I got the caesar salad with grilled shrimp, and it was pretty good. A tad salty, but still good and did the job. Simply caesar salad. It was pretty quiet, so I am not sure if the ambiance is more social at night. I'm assuming it is, with all the TVs. Probably a hub for all the major game viewings!!! Server was super attentive and made sure drinks were refilled consistently without making us feel rushed or uncomfortable. I assume it's a different experience at night, but overall no complaints!

We ordered the mac-and-cheese balls, fish and chips, and prime rib hoagie and the food quality blew us away--from the crispiness of the beer-battered fish to the juicy and tender beef. My favorite bite of the day was definitely the prime rib sandwich soaked in that delicious au jus sauce, although the sauce could have been thicker and a bit more flavorful. But it goes without saying that the star of the show was their world famous chocolate chip pizookie--a large, soft, ooey-gooey amalgamation topped with two thick scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. I immediately understood the hype as the pizookie was both simple and decadent. 7/10 ~ Ultimately, I would return to BJ's just to try more of their sandwiches and pizookie flavors^^

We were seated in a booth, which would've been great, but it was right next to a large fish tank. That turned into a steady stream of kids running back and forth to look at the fish. Nothing against kids at all, but that particular booth would be better suited for families rather than couples without children. Just something the restaurant might want to think about. On the positive side, our waitress was excellent, attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. We ordered the Pizza Village Special (no olives), and that's where they really delivered. The pizza was very good, thin, crispy crust with great flavor. Exactly what you want when you come here. Bottom line: good food, good service, just be mindful of where you're seated if you're looking for a quieter meal.

Never disappointing. I remember visiting Deano's on Bertrand for the first time right after they…read moreopened when I was a student at USL. This was probably 1971 or '72. I was blown away by how delicious the crust and toppings were! We frequented the other local shop in town, but Deano's was our special treat then. When I returned to Lafayette almost 50 years later I was excited to see them still in business. And that first bite brought back so many memories! But then I discovered their muffuletta! I just had to have one. Now, I went to school in New Orleans, and I often visited the old Red Dog Saloon on Gen Mouton, so I can confidently state that I'm a connoisseur of the sandwich. Again, Deano's hit it out of the park! I don't know how they can do so many things so well, but they do, time and time again. And uh oh, they opened one on my side of town less than two miles from my house. This is going to take some self-control. Well, my doctor made me take some self control, so I thought I'd be limited to salads. But wait! Then they come out with this ridiculous Guiltless Pie! Can't be good if it's good for you, right? Oh, sweet summer child, you would be wrong if you thought that. It is, like everything Deano's, delicious! Now I can't wait to go back! I mean, it's only a couple of miles away. I could walk!
