Mark Twain's Pizza Landing - Roast Beef Pizza was amazing. Need to get this on the menu - Pizza Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

First let me start with some positives: [[HIGHLIGHT]]walked in on a HOT HOT summer day and it's VERY cool inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That was amazing. The guy working was also very nice. Now on to why I left 2 stars. The food was meh. The menu is VERY basic. The poboys don't come with a side, they don't have sides available anyways. We had the baked potato app and they were just cooked potatos, no seasoning, no salt. The cheese bread we had was good but that's so basic. Some of the pizzas looked tasty so maybe we will come back. But I think they could adjust some things and add some seasoning. read more

Vey disappointed with new ownership Pizza was suppose to be the Mississippi loaded and it was pitiful . Got thin cut and pizza was almost 2 inch smaller. Looked like a pepperoni with a few jalapeños on top , couldn't see the mushrooms are the other toppings that was suppose to be loaded and plentiful. Get this for almost 30 dollars. What a disappointment. Last time there read more

Really low quality pizza at a really really really high quality price! Tried them again after many years last night as we wanted delivery and they popped up on Yelp, so we decided to give them a second chance. I ended up paying $67 for a single large (more medium than large but okay) pizza with 5 toppings that took over two hours to arrive. Pizza was basically room temperature when we got it, and you could tell it had been sitting at the restaurant for a very long time as the crust was stale and the cheese was fully hardened. Total rip off in terms of value. Taste wise, thr gas station pizza at RaceTrac is far better and fresher. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We'd vowed to never dine in at this place because the last time we visited, it was full of super loud screaming kids running around disturbing everyone and the management was unwilling to say anything to the disruptive groups so that everyone else had to sit and be miserable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Delivery is no better. Steer clear of Mark Twain as his pizza belongs at the bottom of the river! read more

Used to be a favorite pizza joint of mine... new ownership needs to call up the old owner and find out how they did the salads and the pizzas because they used to be much better. We ordered the Life on the Mississippi, which apparently now is covered in anchovies and jalepenos. We've ordered this pizza for years... totally different now. I like anchovies, but my wife hates anchovies, so it was ruined for her. Italian salad disappoining too... hard to describe, just doesn't taste the same... less meat, dressing seems different, etc. Not what it once was... read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been eating at Mark Twains since high school and they have kept the same consistency and design, it's like visiting with an old friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pizza is some of the best in town in my opinion and other menu items are always a treat. The service is always good, getting my orders out quickly and too expectations. If you're in the Old Metairie area and looking for pizza, stop in for a tasty treat. read more

Let me begin by saying the older man who took our order over the phone was completely RUDE. Picked up the order having "extra cheese" with numerous toppings & it was laughingly skimpy and barely had any sauce. I'm talking barely edible. Too bad because the sauce tasted decent, but there was so little of it, it was barely there. The crust was awful, tasted like it was heated in a microwave. So disappointing when this place used to be fabulous about 5-6 yrs ago. I can't recall the last time I had such poor pizza in all of metro NOLA. $60 down the drain, with 3/4 of the pizza ordered. read more

It's Christmas night and I guess they didn't tell the delivery apps that they are closed? We ordered an hour and a half ago and have not gotten our food. Awful management. Zero stars. Do better. read more

Worst pizza ever. My grandson wanted this pizza because they were donating money to his school. It used to be pretty good, but now it's like eating a squishy memory foam shoe sole. There was also hardly any Italian sausage on it, and that was the only topping we had on it. Very disappointed. read more

Services has gone down hill. Ordered via Grub Hub. Order not even in their system when we walked in per lady behind the counter. 3 ladies working. 1 sitting when we told her we had a To Go to pick up, no movement.5 minutes later she gets up to make some pizza. Other lady behind the white computer Monitor just sits down. I'll give my money elsewhere. Not worth it. Lady said 10 minutes and got it in 30. Just not worth it read more

Well this was a delight. Went there with 15 of my buddies for lunch and what a treat. The service was excellent, they had these special table extensions and easily accommodated us. And you'd think asking for individual bills would be an issue but no problem. Of the people eating, probably 11 pizzas were ordered. Not a single complaint. Everyone enjoyed their choices. Of course I was a non pizza order. So with that in mind I selected a meatball poboy. It was delicious. I got it dressed. Very tasty. I'd recommend it to anyone. All in all a great experience. I'd go back again soon. read more

Bro, I ordered a pizza and it's been over 2 hrs and I haven't got it. I called in to check on my pizza and all he could tell me was sorry bro idk what to tell you.. but they picked it up... But now they're closed so now I can't get my pizza... hopefully I can get to try it next time.. read more

I am a regular at Mark Twains. Let me start by saying the food and service is outstanding. I have sat at the bar in the morning watching them finish up fresh made dough and sauce. I have been there at night watching the staff busy and confidently handling the rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looks great and always has a welcoming feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Gary (manager) is outstanding. Always hands on and always working hard. I want to thank him and his staff for always making my visit pleasurable. read more

I haven't had Mark Twain's in years and my family and I decided to see if it was as good as we remembered it. I will say it wasn't bad, but in my opinion it was pretty mediocre pizza. There was just nothing that made me say wow this is a really good pizza. It was kinder thicker dough and it was overall just alright to me. I do love the old fashioned kind of place that it was and the service was great, but the food kind of felt short for me. read more

Had a full muffuletta sandwich delivered for game night and it was one of the best we had in NOLA!

I really hate giving poor reviews and its not very common that I have a true mediocre experience but unfortunately, we did the other night at Mark Twain's. Drove from uptown Nola, because as a pizza connoisseur from the north east, I want to check off all the spots I haven't yet tried! Upon arriving, we were pleasantly surprised that the seating area extended into two rooms as I thought it only held a few tables. Definitely enough space for large parties. We were instructed to sit wherever and once we did, we waited on our server for 10 minutes. No menus were given during those 10 minutes and the restaurant wasn't busy (2 other tables were already eating and 1 was waiting on their order). 10 minutes is truly a long time to have entered a building and not be greeted with menus or waters. Once the waitress stopped by, we ordered 2 soft drinks and 2 waters. The soft drinks were brought over but no waters and still no menus. It was our first time so we weren't sure how the place worked. We asked for menus and began reviewing. We ordered the french fries with cheese appetizer and (2) medium pizzas. It's a small town pizzeria so the pizza took some time which is understandable but now we are at 35 minutes before any appetizer arrived. The fries were uniquely shaped which was neat and had a tasty seasoning. Unfortunately, the cheese sauce was very cold which made for a funny taste. Might've been better warmed but as we were still waiting on waters, we didn't want to request anything else. Pizza's arrived hot hot! The sauce is sweet so it's definitely not your typical tomato basil sauce. We weren't in love with it but that's ok. We tried! Decided to order wings to go and the menu states market price but wow I had no idea market price was so extreme. Had we of known the price for 9 wings would be $18.99 we would not have ordered them. Overall, even if I liked the pizza, the poor service and high cost will keep me away from Mark Twain's. read more

Great pizza place. We love thin crust and they will make any of their pizzas thin crust. Last trip we had the "Life on the Mississippi ". Cooked perfectly. Very busy place Thursday through Sunday. Extra parking in the evening across the street. Enjoy!! read more

The pizza never disappoints....the crust is crispy and the toppings are generous. Everyone in the location from cook to server is committed to giving the customer. Great customer service, and a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant itself is small and quaint the parking is a challenge, but worth the effort. read more

Food is good but expensive for pizza. A glass of Abita Amber was $10.00. Unfortunately I did not know this until check was presented. $20.00 for 2 draft beers is crazy. Took my grandkids for lunch, spent $70.00for large pizza 2 beers and 2 iced teas. Unreal! Inside was recently updated, guess that's why the price was so high? read more

I was very disappointed with my experience eating at Mark Twain's. It was especially disappointing considering this is a local restaurant that has been in business for many years, and I grew up frequently dining here. To start, our server was very unprofessional and rude. She was curt and started fussing at "high schoolers costing her tips," a sentence that should not be said to her customers. Additionally, my drink was never filled up and the food came out at three different times (there were 6 of us there). Half of our group got their food, while the other half did not. If it's a bit behind then I'm usually like no problem, but it was over 10 minutes of waiting. When we finally got our food, it was delicious, but overall the experience was highly disappointing. Also, I'd pay in cash to avoid a 3.5% additional charge on credit card transactions. read more

Today starts our Christmas vacation and we wanted to grab a quick lunch before doing some last minute Christmas shopping. We wanted pizza but didn't want the same ole places so we headed to Mark Twain. Our server was so sweet and nice!! She was wonderful and friendly. We ordered the bread stick and OMG it was so delicious. We ordered 2 ordered and devour it!! We then ordered the Samuel (meat pizza) and the BBQ chicken pizza. The only downfall is they don't have sweet n low for our tea lol If you are looking for a different place for Pizza you should give Mark Twain a try!! Definitely TRY THE BREAD STICK read more

I just love this pizza place!! I placed an order on a Sunday evening close to 6 pm. It literally took them about 15 min to have my pizza ready . They then told me about their loyalty program, which of course I ended up joining and on top of that I got about 4 dollars off of my pizza! Can you say winning! The quality of the pizza is so delicious as well! If you are looking for good food, and great service this is where you have to come! I have also dined in before and the service is just as great as when you're picking up! I'm supposed to be getting a coupon for joining the loyalty program as well! So you def know I will be coming back to enjoy some more pizza! Only con I would say is the parking but that's just because it is located off of Metairie road. Other than that you can always park across the street which is no biggie! read more

After eating here many times now, I come to really love their pizzas. The Innocents Abroad pizza with the white sauce is probably one of the best pizzas they serve. The service is always quick and efficient. Keeping our drinks filled is very important to me. They do serve a variety of bottle beers and do have a couple of them on tap. Certain nights of the week, they have half price pitchers of beer. Parking can be a pain during the busy times, but there is a parking lot across the street. Also if you plan to visit frequently, do sign up for their rewards card. I get coupons and rewards in the mail frequently. It's well worth it, because it's free. read more

21.00 for ten wings that tasted like Tyson frozen chicken. No buffalo sauce option? New owners are ruining what was a great place .. I know it's old met full of millionaires , but don't put out a garbage product if you expect us to pay that much .. read more

The worse service!!!! Employees don't care they just lollygagging!! I stopped going here because after Ida hurricane, I went and ordered a pizza and I sat there for about 10 minutes people walking in ordering pizzas and getting theirs before me so I finally got up and said where's my pizza he said we didn't even make it yet!!!!!! read more

The BEST pizza around! Fantastic barbecue chicken pizza. A definite treat. Good service

Excellent Food. Great Old Metairie establishment. Good service. Generous to the community.

After reading all the reviews I was excited to finally try pizza from here. The flavors are good, but the dough isn't cooked enough. We got mysterious stranger with the hot sausage and olives, and an order of cheese sticks. Appreciate that they provided both ranch and marinara sauce with the cheese sticks. A couple of others mentioned not being able to fold their slices in half, and I had the same problem. The middle of the pizza was limp and soggy, and not crisp on the bottom. I think it must be their style as the cheese sticks weren't crisp on the bottom either. I preferred it when we reheated they pizza and it was crisper on the bottom. I just want to be able to pick up my slice of pizza. I don't think I'd order from here again, just not my preferred style. The staff wasn't very friendly or welcoming when I came in to pick up my order. There were no other customers and it wasn't a busy time. read more

This place is such a rip off these days. Used to be a great place to get pizza but at these prices, you're better off going elsewhere. The quality was so bad last time my mother got pizza from here she called and complained. I was dumbfounded at what she paid for it when I saw she had to put it back into the oven to cook it. She had the Deluxe, it was barely even cooked. Horrendous. read more

Love aunt pollys salad. I thought the pizza guy was OCD, but it turns out that "consistency is key"- he probably would never franchise out of fear they would ruin his creation. read more

The food was great. Service was very good for our takeout order and they asked about a loyalty card, we signed up on the spot. Didn't have time to appreciate the old school ambiance but it's definitely worth the trip read more

Pizza itself wasn't bad. Our table of 6 ordered 2 individual pizzas, 2 medium pizzas, and 1 shrimp Caesar salad. Everything came out at different times. 3 of us finished our food before the other 3 got their food. Our waitress blamed her losing tips on "a bunch of high schools working in the back." She screamed at them from our table which was all the way by the front window several times. She was rude, unprofessional, not attentive, and served us with her earbuds in her ear - all reasons why she is probably losing tips not the high schoolers. I came here a couple times a month with my family growing up and have the best memories. It is unfortunate that this experience has me not wanting to return again. ALSO BEWARE TO USE CASH IF YOU GO BECAUSE THEY CONVENIENTLY PUT ON THEIR CHECKS THAT THEY WILL CHARGE AN EXTRA 3.5% IF YOU USE CARD. When I got my bill it said $24.99 I asked why the menu said the deluxe was $21.99 and she said "You must have gotten an old menu because we just raised all of the prices." I say get rid of the old menus or charge what the menu you gave me says. read more

$18.99 for 9 wings. NINETEEN AMERICAN DOLLARS.... FOR NINE CHICKEN WINGS. Took forever to receive menus. Cold cheese sauce with fries. For the price, at least make the service better. read more

We love this place. It's locally owned, and is sort of a classic old school pizza joint. It's usually pretty crowded, but a table for two is usually available. Larger than 3 or 4 could be a problem at peak times. The pizza is really good and there's a decent variety. I've also had a meatball sandwich, and enjoyed it. The service is friendly but usually rushed, and they're usually pretty young and not very...polished. On our last visit, the waitress had to be careful to not knock over my empty beer mug when she brought the pizza, but didn't seem to notice that it was empty. And then seemed a little....surprised, or inconvenienced when I called her back so I could order another. But, the wonderful pizza makes up for the so-so service. read more

This is a solid choice for a meal- the pizza is good, the salad is very good and the service is excellent. Nice combo, we will certainly come back. So far, I have tried the: Mark Twain salad, Caesar salad, Antipasti salad, Mississippi Landing pizza, Innocents Abroad pizza, Mysterious Stranger pizza, Creole pizza and Pepperoni pizza. The only thing we didn't love was the Creole pizza, but have heard many other people name it as a favorite. When you get the small pizza, it is a little thicker and therefore a little more doughy/less cooked through. In the future I would ask them to make it thinner/cook it longer. Overall I am consistently impressed with the fresh ingredients and attentive service we receive. would recommend them! read more

I am impressed at the interest in dietary issues of the customers. They have gluten free options for the crust. I do not have a need for any dietary concerns, but it is nice for those who do. Parking is in front, and is the diagonal parking. It can be difficult to leave, because even if you pull in and you think you will have a clear shot leaving, you might not, depending on the size of the vehicles around you as your trying to back out. Keep that in mind when your coming in as Metairie Road is quite busy at times. You walk in, there is a sign to seat yourself for table service. On the day the St Patricks parade was going by, they had limited options, and you ordered at the counter for your food, and they were cash only for that day. The interior could use a deep cleaning, as could the restrooms. The restrooms are single, so I imagine that they could be gender neutral, but they are not specifically designated as such. There are gambling machines in the corner, walled off. During the evenings, it can get packed with families and kiddos sports teams celebrating or just walking it off and eating. The pizza itself is good, the crust is not greasy, it is thick (how I like it) and not soggy from what I have experienced. I came recently as a reminder as it had been awhile since I have come. I have never not had a good food experience. I would come back for the food, I just hope they give the interior a good cleaning. read more
