Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating
Creative New Orleans-leaning pizza and Italian plates with strong vegan options near the French Market; lively vibe, generally tasty pies, but service can be curt and value lands in mid-range.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Louisiana Pizza Kitchen delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by creative Louisiana-inspired pizzas and a robust vegan lineup. However, inconsistent execution on non-pizza items and variable service interactions prevent higher performance. The excellent French Market location with outdoor seating and lively atmosphere make it a worthwhile destination for adventurous pizza lovers, though it falls short of the area's premier dining establishments.
Restaurant Summary
Steps from the French Market, this spot hums with lively, casual energy. Servers can be upbeat and quick, though a few experiences felt curt. One diner summed it up: "We grabbed a patio table, pies landed fast, and the breeze set the mood." Location by the Jazz Museum adds easy pre-show appeal. The cooking leans classic pizza and pasta with distinct Louisiana twists: think jambalaya or crab and shrimp on a thin, cracker-style crust, plus house pastas and a legit vegan section. Most guests rave about bold flavors and generous toppings, while a minority report uneven execution on salads or a cold pasta. Expect creativity over tradition, with seafood-forward specialties that suit adventurous eaters. Families make it work with pizza, but there is no printed kids menu. If your crew likes simple pies or pasta, you are covered; picky eaters may prefer basic cheese or margherita. Portions are filling, and the setting near the market makes quick kid refuels easy even without kid-specific dishes.
