    Italian stallion added burrata
    Thanh-Van L.

    We ordered for pick up and they were super busy so we came to pick up and there was a line of 5 people waiting, then a few came to pick up their orders on the side without the register (I assumed they ordered takeout while they were there so I didn't go to that side, just continued waiting at the register). The service seemed really nice. I think a guy dropped his pizza slice and came back and the staff seemingly said they would make him another? Super packed and connected to a bar so not a place I would go to sit and eat at all. At $35 a pizza, yes they're huge, but they're not worth that price. The upper half of the pizza was still crispy and held form but the bottom half was sloppy and droopy (we only live 10 min away so it didn't sit long). We got the Italian stallion which says it has basil, but it did not have the leaves...not sure what it meant. It was super salty as well. Fine to try and probably better retoasted so they're crispy.

    We were looking for a place to have a quick dinner before the Banana Ball game and found Forbidden Pizza was a few blocks away. They've been popping up on my social media for a while so we decided to give it a try. Word of advice: know what you want in advance and have a back up choice. We walked up and it was the most rushed and strange interaction ever. They didn't have the she's thicc so I pick up a menu to try to decide on another slice and the guy kept saying "you want the pepperoni" so I gave in and got that even though I would have liked something else if he gave me 30 seconds to look at the menu. There's hardly any seating so we were wedged into some seats along the window and waited a while. It's definitely over hyped. The pizza was burned on the bottom and it just wasn't good. Definitely won't be going here again.

    Needed someplace close to the dome to grab dinner before the Savannah Bananas. Had seen a lot of post recently and some good reviews so gave it a try. It's a small place with limited seating. They do have a full bar and some inside tables on the side. But it seemed for the most part this place is a grab and go or grab and eat quick there. They have some very interesting flavor combos for their pizzas. For my first time I went with the Italian stallion and forbidden fruit. The Italian stallion is more traditional nothing too crazy going on there, but very good. The forbidden fruit sounded interesting less common flavor profile, but had potential. It ended up being as good as I thought those flavors coming together might. The sweet and savory with the fig jam and bacon amazing. Next time I'm in the area will be trying the other slices.

    She Thicc
    Ellie M.

    Not my favorite -- I ordered the pan style 'She Thicc' and I felt the sauce was overpowering and the crust was too thick (aptly named I guess). Plus, the basil was missing. I also had the dough bites, which needed a bit more flavor or different dipping options. Similar to the pizza crust, too bready for my taste. I would be willing to try a different style and flavor pizza here again, though. Cute inside spot in the CBD.

    Forbidden Pizza was next to our hotel and we stopped here on a night we were looking for something easy for dinner. It feels weird getting pizza while on vacation in New Orleans but we wanted a quick, good and low key night. I am so happy we stopped in- it was so good we might stop and grab another slice before vacation is over!

    Visited Forbidden Pizza while in New Orleans. The atmosphere was cool and casual, and the service was friendly and efficient. They serve up New York-style pizza, and it hit the spot -- crispy crust, well-balanced toppings, and very satisfying overall. We ordered directly from the back-end pizzeria and then grabbed seats in the resto/bar area, and they brought the pies right out to us, which worked smoothly. It's an easy, relaxed setup that fits the vibe perfectly. Overall, a great spot and absolutely worth a return visit. Saluti

    Nice little place of the beaten path. I was looking for something quick and good. I had eaten my through New Orleans and couldn't eat one more big meal. I found this place, not too far from my hotel. I walked over and almost missed it because it was unassuming. I walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender was awesome. She helped me pick a great pizza. There were many to choose from. I selected the Sicilian (square) pizza. I can't turn down a square. As a pizza snob from NY, I think I know good pizza. I took my first bite and I must say, it was pretty good. The sauce was tasty. The dough was good. Big slices. I was quite surprised. I would recommend this place.

    I got the Italian Stallion slice and it's good! Piping hot, crispy crust, foldable for one handed shenans! I'll be back!

    I absolutely love this pizza place! I've been here twice and both times I have been I have left happy. The last time I was there I had pesto pizza with sausage! It was sooo good. Also the cookie was delicious as well. Not too soft, not too crunchy. Customer service was great! I love how they have the outdoor seating (just a few tables) but they have a bar inside and additional seating. If you're looking for a good pizza spot this is a must try! You can get individual slices too! Worth it!

    Whole Pie (Pepperoni Pleaser)
    Yadira P.

    I ordered a Pepperoni Pleaser whole pie ($32) take-out here on Saturday 1/17/26. I waited about 20 minutes for it. Once I got home I dug in & I was in Aww of it..... It is by far the best New York style pizza I've had in NOLA....It was a 20 inch size pie with the right amount of cheese, sauce, & pepperoni. The ingredients were fresh & of quality. My mother hates cheap processed pepperoni but she ate all the meat on her slice. I was satisfied after one slice. The slices are equivalent to two slices from other places. An individual slice of my pie retails for $5.50.... There are other flavors I cannot wait to try. They are in my rotation of restaurants & in my opinion they are the best pizzeria in New Orleans.

    In clockwise rotation Italian stallion on the left, pepperoni above it, original sin, the classic/burrata, and she thicc.

    I've been waiting to try this pizza for almost a year. It did NOT disappoint. The BASIC and the pepperoni pizzas were completely off the chart. Definitely deserving of the hype. The price for a large pizza is like $33, and not too shabby! It's a big pizza and again, packed with great pizza flavor. The restaurant was nice and quaint. It wasn't too noisy, but it was a tight fit. I think they'll have another location soon based off the pizza alone! Service was great. The gentleman taking orders was friendly and enthusiastic.

    My friends and I came here to get pizza after hearing so much about it. In my opinion it's not the best pizza I've had, and I do think it's overhyped. The area itself and ambience were quite nice and casual. Staff were straightforward and helpful. I think I was just disappointed after hearing so much about their pizza. In terms of taste, I think other places such as Pizza Luna is better. I probably wouldn't come back for the pizza, but it's worth a try if you're in the area. The place is also quite aesthetic.

    Forbidden Fruit
    Jennifer N.

    Stopped by after a conference for lunch. Had the Forbidden Fruit pizza, which was a really interesting take. This is a white sauce pizza, which I love as I'm usually not a fan of tomato sauce. It had dollops of ricotta, fig jam, and bacon. It was a perfect mix of sweet, salty, and creamy. Thin and crispy crust. Also shared a bit of the pepperoni pizza and it was great, nice and spicy with lovely crisp and oil. The restaurant is small, with a small amount of table sitting and bar seats. Overall, awesome! Will definitely need to try other things next time!

    Great pizza by the slice. Quick service, but relatively lackluster ambiance (we ordered to go and the waiting area felt over crowded).

    We've had a few people recommend this new pizza place to us in a week, so we had to go try…read more The service was great. Everyone seemed really nice and helpful. It was cool to see the pizza ovens right behind the register. The red top pizza was bomb. It was crispy but still saucy. They do a garlicky butter crust on their pizza which we thought was really nice. It had really good herbs in the crust. The buffalo pizza was pretty good too. Large chunks of chicken with a bit of cheese and a blue cheese sauce drizzled on top. I wish there was a bit more tomato sauce / buffalo sauce, but that's just my preference. Overall, the pizza did remind me of a thin, crispy NE style pizza. And I love that they do by the slice too. I would love to try their white pizza next

    We were recommended to this spot by our awesome AirBnB hostess. You can literally smell the dough…read moreand garlic from the street! Street parking only, but don't let that stop you from popping in! We were greeted right away by both the chef and the waitress. So nice and friendly! We ordered cheese pizza and some drinks. Totally easy to eat in the car while waiting for our rooms to be ready. The cheese pull on the first bite was absolutely gorgeous! Perfect warmth, perfect sauce to cheese ratio, delicious crust. This is a triple whammy! Definitely take the time to check them out. They have lots of indoor seating and it's cool inside!
