    As someone who's on the road often for work, I've learned to recognize when a restaurant takes its craft seriously--and Mid City Pizza in New Orleans absolutely does. I stopped in between meetings and ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana sandwich, which was outstanding: the eggplant perfectly crisp, the sauce rich but balanced, and the cheese layered just right. But what really sets this place apart is the bread. It's made from unbleached, unbromated flour and prepared with specially filtered and treated water designed to replicate New York City's famed pizza water--and you can taste the difference. The texture is remarkable, with a delicate crunch and subtle chew that makes every bite memorable. I also had the opportunity to sample a new garlic and olive pizza, and it carried that same attention to detail--bold flavor, quality ingredients, and a perfectly baked crust. For business travelers looking for a true local gem--where the food has soul and the ingredients are taken seriously--Mid City Pizza is a must. It's a slice (or sandwich) of genuine craftsmanship right in the heart of New Orleans.

    Was looking for a place close to "The Mortuary Haunted House". Had no idea there were all these little places within 5 minutes off Canal St. ordered meatballs as an appetizer and a small pepperoni jalapeño pizza and it was divine! Meatballs fell apart in your mouth and the pizza was crispy and flavorful! This place reminds me of little mom and pop corner pizza places where I grew up on Southside of Chicago. Will definitely be back!

    I was really craving a calzone and haven't found many pizza places in Nola have a decent one. This reopened not all that long ago and I saw they had a calzone on the menu so I had to go. This thing was huge. Like a large pizza folded in half. I went with the mid city meat monster stuffing. It was just what I needed. Very very filling. I could only eat half. They did not skimp on the meat. Also got some mozzarella sticks. They were thick and melty. Perfect cheese pool. I tried my gfs spicy margherita pizza. That was so good if I'm in the mood for pizza next time and not a calzone I'm getting that. Inside is kinda small, but they also have outdoor seating. Definitely recommend will be back.

    The house wines are dependable, the Caesar's salad is fresh with a pleasant vinegar kick and plenty of grated parmesan, and the pizza is a hybrid - mid level rise on the crust - almost thin on the entire pie. The highlight for me is the cheese pizza - the mozzarella is delicious and the hidden Romano underneath gives a very satisfying kick. The sauce is made in house with whole San Marzano tomatoes. The supreme pizza is covered with quality charcuterie and fresh bell peppers, onions and black olives. Of course you can order in, and if you visit the mothership the raised deck seating beside the banks live oaks is very pleasant.

    You know what? This place gets 5 stars from me, and here's why. I've been twice; I don't remember the first time because I was on a date trying to be thin. However, I do remember my most recent visit, and it was incredible. My friend, who doesn't drink, ordered a martini, thinking we were the ladies from *Sex and the City*, only to realize a classic martini isn't sweet. She passed it to me, and I must admit, I was a bit hesitant. I've been around the block, and normally I reserve cocktails for cocktail bars, you understand? But upon my first sip, I was taken aback. It was perfect, and honestly, I don't even really like classic martinis, but this one was fantastic. I was suddenly transported to a small café in NYC, sitting with my three best girlfriends, gossiping over cosmos. Now, let's talk about the pizza. As you can see, we dug in before I even got any pictures. As soon as our server sat our pizza and garlic knots down, we had to dive in. The food is fresh, and the flavor is on point. The pizza is large--like, you're not leaving hungry, large. I'm not a petite man, but even I could only eat two slices. The food's good, the prices are reasonable, the service is down-home and friendly, and the vibes are just right. If you're looking for good pizza, good people, and good drinks, this is your place.

    This was my first time going to Mid City Pizza. My SO was craving a calzone and wanted to check them out so we went early on a Saturday. The inside of the restaurant is very open and you can see them working the dough in the kitchen. We got an order of mozzarella sticks and I ordered the small spicy margharita pizza for myself. It comes with sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, jalapeños and a drizzle of hot honey. The mozzarella sticks were melty and crunchy. The pizza was the perfect combo of spicy, sweet, and salty. Looking forward to going back and trying some more!

    Had a spontaneous dinner here last night and loved their Arigula Salad, Meat Ball appetizer and the Larry one of the Very Important Pizzas (VIPs). It took a while for the pizza to come out, but it came out steaming hot and they served us slices from it to our plate. This was a surprisingly charming pizza joint, will come back again.

    I wish I could write good things about this popular spot that's come back from the dead but I just didn't have a good experience there. We waited over an hour to receive a large pizza that was quite frankly, overpriced and overcooked. Our "Sicilian" pizza was as hard as a brick and was almost inedible. Decent sauce but that's the only good thing that I can say. Maybe I'll try them again in a few weeks when they're off the ground and running.

    The patio and the staff make this a great experience. The pizza and the wine were fantastic! Go chill and have a pie!

I pulled up on a Sunday and since I called it in just under an hour before closing, I decided to get it to go. I ordered it about twenty minutes out and when I arrived, it was ready. The takeout process was in itself unique. I pulled up to what they called a "yellow tollbooth) to pay. He called on his radio that I paid and I pulled up to a covered door and they handed off my food. The overall ambiance from outside looked cool enough. Next time, I will eat it there, but I just did not want to be inconsiderate to everyone getting out on time. I found a local park and tore into my food. I went with the large surf and turf po' boy (roast beef and shrimp) and found it very good. For the price point, out the door with taxes, it was just over twenty dollars.

The capers and olive oil really paired well with it. We met one of the chef-owners and she was very helpful and kind!

    The Good: The Staff was lovely and the Tostada was AMAZING!…read more The Bad: Everything else... Outside of the Tostadas, the food we had was shockingly bad. The fried "Captain's Platter" is $35, it's worth maybe $12. It was 4 shrimp, 4 oysters, and a decent sized piece of fish, all considerably over-fried, with fairly plain coleslaw and hushpuppies that looked like they had been cooking since the shift the day before. --- I honestly couldn't believe this was brought to the table, but it seemed normal so apparently that is how it is served there. It was VERY small and fairly overcooked. The boiled crabs were mush. Decent flavor, not great. Would not recommend. The charbroiled oysters again seemed to have been cooking for 3-4 times longer than they should have. They were rubber, flavorless and unappetizing to look at. They were pretty bad. - At least they were clean. I didn't get any shell. But I also didn't get any oyster in 1 of the 6 oysters served at $18. Then we got a Sausage Poboy. The sausage was decent, but the sandwich wasn't good. WHY WOULD YOU TOAST THE BREAD? NO ONE WANTS SAUSAGE BETWEEN TWO CROUTONS. Just kind of a weird mistake that makes you wonder if anyone there has tried to eat any of their own food. Because it's not easy... Honestly 90% of the food we got there was pretty bad. But we will be back for Tostada alone. That was phenomenal. 10/10 Delicious.

    Liuzza's By The Track: Where New Orleans Keeps It Real…read more Liuzza's By The Track is one of those New Orleans neighborhood institutions that doesn't need to reinvent itself to remain relevant. Established and deeply rooted in the local dining scene, it has long been known by locals and discovered by visitors, helped in part by its proximity to the Fair Grounds Race Course, where the city's legendary Jazz Fest comes alive each spring. But the real attraction is much simpler: good New Orleans food without the fuss. Liuzza's embodies the city's traditional, no-nonsense approach to dining. The atmosphere is casual, the food is straightforward, and the emphasis is where it belongs--on flavor. It is the kind of place where you come to eat rather than be impressed by culinary theatrics. And then there is the barbecue shrimp pistolet. New Orleans is rightly famous for its barbecue shrimp, and there is certainly no shortage of restaurants that prepare an excellent version of the dish. But Liuzza's does something particularly New Orleans with it: they put those succulent, sauce-soaked shrimp into a pistolet, creating a sandwich that is both simple and remarkably satisfying. So, if you find yourself at the French Quarter Festival craving a barbecue shrimp pistolet, you don't necessarily have to wander around searching for the festival booth that serves one. Liuzza's By The Track is the destination. And unlike a temporary festival offering, this is the real deal--a specialty worth making a trip across the city for. There are plenty of places in New Orleans where you can enjoy excellent barbecue shrimp. But if your craving is specifically for a barbecue shrimp pistolet, the choice becomes considerably easier.
