Such a great experience from a self-proclaimed "judgmental guest"..only because I've worked in this industry for SO many years..#wecanthelpit From the hostess greeting, who was super sweet and inviting, to the ambiance this place is truly set up for success. The concept, vibe and food are amazing. Our server, Jill, was extremely friendly and informative! Although we visited on a Friday night during lent, there were so many options that you didn't miss a thing! Can't wait to get back and try more!! read more

We love Meribo... the pizza is delicious (Brussel sprouts pizza is definitely our fav)! For the first time during quarantine we had the chance to try their cheeseburger... AMAZING!! My husband and I both agree it's the best burger on the Northshore! read more

Its in a food court kind of setting so we thought it wasn't there at first. When we figured it out we ordered easily. The guys working were friendly and ready to make pies! read more

Meribo.... When i hear that name there is a unfathomable parch in my body to consume true excellence. It all started on the conquest for the core sin of gluttony. My first time at meribo was more of a heavenly retreat than a lunch. Upon arriving at the restaurant the atmosphere was unbeatable, enjoyable music playing, respectful staff, and most of all comfortable seating. I decide to order a classic, margherita pizza. The wait was well worth what I like to call the best pizza that has ever been served on this solemn earth. It was absolutely perfect... no other words. On the recent upcoming of the june month I had traveled to Italy, hoping to find something possibly better than the absolute perfection known as Meribo. I couldn't have been more wrong. Dare I even say Meribo has ruined my taste in pizza as I can never eat decent pizza again. Disappointingly on my Italy trip not ONE SINGLE AUTHENTIC PIZZERIA could even compare to the majesty known as Meribo. To the owner of Meribo thank you, you are the solemn person on the earth providing absolute perfection in the form of food. read more

This is my 3rd time eating at Meribo and have enjoyed the flavors here each time. My review is regarding the decision made by staff for this past Saturday night, Aug 18, 2018, the night of White Linen Night in Covington, La. I did not call for a reservation, bad decision on my part, as all restaurants in area were slammed, however, when I and my friends arrived, we were seated at the bar, despite 15 tables empty, which by the time we left, they were still unused. We were then informed that a limited menu would be served and the the normal Happy Hour would not be honored due to special event. On Meribo menu is printed: "Meribo "Happy Hour" is served every day we are open, from 3-6pm. EVERY. DAY. + ALL DAY Wednesdays." The pizza here tastes good, but the toppings required a magnifying glass to see them. Typically Meribo is never slammed on Friday/Saturday nights, so the one time they are busy they choose to cut the menu and drop the Happy Hour. Heaven forbid they get slammed every week, and they forget what made them successful. Other restaurants this night did not cut menu or cut perks. read more

Great pizza and wine for happy hour. But highly questionable food safety. The pizza maker did not wear gloves or wash his hands after cracking raw eggs. My margherita pizza has the basil placed on it after cooking by the bartender. She never washed her hands once since I was there. She answered phones, returned dirty dishes, handled money but never washed hands. read more

I really like pizza. A lot. Meribo has a lot of awesome pizzas. I like Meribo. They also have a bunch of other awesome stuff, like tuna #sofresh that it probably swam all the way up the Bogue Falaya from Venice to the back door. That's a long journey for a tuna, so it's seasonal, but if more tuna hear about the awesome pizza, I expect more to make the trip from the gulf. Not too many places around here have Wagyu beef, and not too many places around here have Carpaccio. Meribo has Wagyu beef Carpaccio. Wagyu beef Carpaccio is like combining the voices of Fergie and Jesus, raw, uncut, with no auto-tune. Their wine selection also rivals the Catalina Wine Mixer. I've never been. Just things I've heard. They also have Benton's bacon. If you haven't had Benton's bacon, your life thus far has been a failure. It's never too late to fix that though, and Meribo is a good place to start, because like half the menu has Benton's bacon. The only thing that could make that better is if every single item on the menu had Benton's bacon. Or if every single item on the menu was Benton's bacon. I'd be fine with either really. There's a squid ink pasta, which a.) is awesome, and b.) reminds me of the ink scene in Finding Nemo, which is also awesome. Speaking of Finding Nemo, the best part about that movie was the end, because they found Nemo. Nemo is like Meribo. You're here looking at this page, so you've found it. I'm like Dory. I helped you find the way, even though you might not realize how helpful I really am while reading this review. Eat at Meribo, find Nemo. read more

I reluctantly (prefer talking to a person) tried to order online..... this did not conclude my evening with a pizza. I called and spoke to someone there and I asked to order "to go". They instructed me to order online in which I mentioned the technical issues (frustrating) I had and wanted to place an order. I received a non apologetic "we are busy, you need to order online". In the time we spoke on the phone the person could have easily put in my order. I already avoid chains like Walmart and CVS for diminishing people from the workforce with automation but this is concerning that a local eatery would take customer service out of their offerings. read more

Tried for lunch for the first time today and it was wonderful! The atmosphere is light, clean and bright. Our server, Cole, was so friendly and attentive and knew his stuff. We got the calamari, burrata, Brussels sprout pizza and turkey sandwich. Each dish was delish...the burrata and the pizza were the true stand outs. The crust on the wood fired pizza was impeccable. I appreciated the attention to detail with everything and pricing is very fair. We will be back soon and recommend to other. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I didn't get the appeal of this place until I went for happy hour. The $7 pizzas are amazing and the cocktails are great. Stick with the pizzas, though. I have tried the chicken sandwich and a couple of pastas. The pastas were ok, and the chicken sandwich was not good. read more

Not a repeat. They were 50% full on a Saturday night but would not seat us until full party was there (managers policy), I guess we won't have any extra drinks while we wait. Wow are the acoustics bad - desperate need of sound deadening- literally could not hear people across the table. My wife's $10 drink was half full (see photo) I am sort of glad now that we did not order extra drinks - probably saved myself $40. When the waitress took orders - she missed my daughter - I had to find the waitress and bring her back. To be balanced in my feedback - food was good. Each dish was tasty. Particularly good was the queso and Brussels sprouts. But VERY expensive for very mediocre service. I guess when there is an automatic 20% tip built in, why try hard? read more

My wife and I ate at Meribo on the night of 9/5. I had the chicken parm, which was good. The hostess commented that the crabmeat spaghetti was very good, so my wife ordered it. As it turns out the dish was not good at all. It had a very strong lemon flavor. We told our waitress that we didn't like it and she took it away. We were very surprised that we were charged for the meal upon receiving our check. I understand that the restaurant doesn't want to eat the cost of the meal. I also didn't want to pay for something that we didn't eat. Companies that have outstanding customer service find a way to turn a bad experience into a good one. Was $18 worth disappointed customers, a bad review, and negative word of mouth to future potential customers? read more

Potato pizza is outstanding as are the bee sting mules. My only complaint is the hostess needs an attitude adjustment-quit if you are so unhappy but You shouldn't be so nasty to clients. If she's there next time We'll go elsewhere. I went for lunch on Saturday, 9/12. read more

We came for brunch and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely make a trip back to have dinner. Highly recommend.

Service was good but I think their food is overprice and the portion is so little. Seriously, who serves pasta without bread? mehhh, def not coming back here! read more

My son always brags about how good this place is. So he brought me a couple of times. Every time we went it was amazing. The appetizer are great as well as there food. I'll leave it up to you to decide what to get. There Service and ATMOSPHERE is great. So go and check it out. You want be disappointed read more

Great place. They are being SUPER safe with covid. This is the best most authentic pizza you will find in the area. Also has amazing drinks and the BEST happy hour of all time ($7 pizzas $5 cocktails). I come here every wednesday im so obsessed. read more

Casual sophistication! This place feels like a big city in a small town. First, I've been to Italy several times and can tell you that Meribo's pizzas blend the best of Italy with the best of So La. You can tell the pizza oven came from Italy. Try the fried oyster pizza. Second, the carbonara is as good as I have had anywhere. Third, the bar is just plain chic. Finally, the dessert was a kind of Italian beignet. Just delicious. I will be back. So, they've added lunch. I had the cold cut panini which was just like the ones I've had in Italy. My wife had the soup and the salad with goat cheese and roasted grapes. She loved it. read more

This place is good don't get me wrong but the service is so iffy every single time! Like one time me and a friend went into the bar area one night for a few drinks and sat at the bar for 35 minutes with not a single person acknowledging us!! So we just walked out.. really want to love this place but it seems like they don't care all that much. read more

Rude staff were not accommodating at all. Wanted to try it but the unexpected lameness ruined it. The place was mostly empty but when we asked not to be seated in the sun we were told we couldn't sit anywhere else. Take it or leave it. I'll still eat at the Pythian location during the week but I won't be trying this location again. read more

I'll give it a two stars because I actually do enjoy the food. HOWEVER, let's talk about the service it is horrible. Went and ate dinner a couple of weeks back with me and my wife. Walked in the front hostess was helpful, but let's talk about this server. White guy with a beard with no personality curly hair walks up to the table staring at us through his glasses. If he weren't dressed like all the servers I would have never known he was a server. Took the drink orders and walked off (I actually liked to order an appetizer at that moment but did not get the chance). By the time homeboy came back with the drinks we ordered our appetizer and our food. He Came back with my appetizer and my dinner a minute later. We finally finish the food which was amazing. Our waiter comes back mumbles underneath his breath which I did not understand what he said. I always tip good when people deserve it. I did not want to give this dude a penny but I couldn't be that mean. Gave him less then the minimum and walked out pissed off. Some people don't need to be in this industry and he is definitely one of them. Probably one of the rudest waiter I've ever encountered. read more

Good pizza, awesome drinks, and the brunch is never disappointing as well. The weekly specials are a must try!

I enjoyed Wednesday happy hour half price drinks and pizza. Very good. Patrick was a great waiter. Reasonably priced even on a normal day.

Very Modern Italian Restaurant in Downtown Covington. The Beef Carpaccio is outstanding! It is with out a doubt some of the best I have ever had. The Squid Ink Pappardelle is delicious. I ate at the bar and the staff was very nice. The only think that I see wrong with this restaurant is the acoustics is horrible! I would not recommend going there with a large group because you would never be able to hear any conversations that are going on. read more

Overall our experience was good. To start we got the beef tartare and it was disappointing. The blue cheese was too overpowering and you could barely taste the beef. Then we ordered mushroom pizza and it was amazing. Seriously delicious. I highly recommend. My only other criticism is the restaurant was really warm. I am not sure if it's normally like that because of the oven being exposed in the restaurant but I found it to be uncomfortable. We will definitely try it again though. read more

The food was so surprisingly amazing! The reason I didn't give five stars was because the very popularly recommended appetizer, "Crispy Brussels" were not good at all. We overheard two other waiters, including ours, recommend them. After trying them for ourselves, I definitely recommend a pass. BUT! Everything else was outstanding. I definitely recommend the whipped ricotta (almost licked the plate), "the best burger", and the white sauce ham and cheese pizza read more

Always love the cocktails, mushroom pizza is to die for, brussell sprouts and of course the 'tots'. I'm really looking forward to their outdoor addition. Meribo is one of my favorite places to bring guests. read more

I ordered the carbonara pasta for take out this evening and what a disappointment when I opened the take out box...there was barely no bacon with the pasta...definitely not worth $15! read more

My first visit here and I was pleasantly surprised. Many times when you order a wood fired pizza, the crust tastes like cardboard. I really like the fact that they make their own dough; the crust was great and pizza was very flavorful. We got a meatball appetizer and it was very good. I did not care for their carbonara but the waitress warned us it was different. It didn't have much taste at all. Very nice modern place and I will return! read more

Went for happy hour. Great drink prices. Got the caprese salad for starters and the soppresata pizza. The best pizza we've eaten in ages!

Pretty disappointed...came here after going to see a movie with my husband hoping to get a few bites to eat and a drink or two. The food was blah...we got a mozzarella appetizer and that was probably the best part of our dinner. The calamari was overly greasy and my pizza was insanely spicy. My husband got a pasta dish with shrimp, had two bites and that was it- it taste awful. We didn't complain but the waitress noticed we barely ate our food and comped the pasta dish for us. Drink wise...hubby got a beer so he didn't go wrong and I got a cocktail but it was over poured and couldn't taste anything but the vodka in it. Basically, we won't be returning. read more

Neat place! Fun atmosphere. I found them on instagram advertising for Covington White Linen Night. We went on White Linen Night so it was JAM PACKED, but they seated us without a reservation because someone had cancelled. We got lucky! The owner is great! He was very friendly and so were all the staff members. Those greeting us at the front door weren't very friendly, but they had just recently opened and were so busy. They did a nice job out back with live music and a bar that night, we had a good time! The pizzas are not big! They are tasty though! A family of four will be hungry is they share just one!! read more

Had a wonderful dining experience! The restaurant is open and inviting. The waitstaff is professional and very friendly! The pizza and appetizers were very tasty and unique. (Wine was pretty smooth and refreshing) My daughter and her husband met me for dinner. We were only able to meet about an hour before they closed. I am from out of town. We suffered no issues at all with coming in close to their closing time. As a matter of fact they went out of their way to provide a fantastic dining event. I am a bit nervous dining towards the end of service anywhere I dine. I eat out quite a bit. This is the bewitching time for restaurants. I am a chef and have owned and managed quite a few dining operations. Close to closing the staff is working towards closing and also tending to diners. We finished and left before their closing time. In my experienced opinion diners should respect posted closing times. Coming in an establishment minutes before posted closing times and expecting the best a restaurant offers in terms of food and service is unrealistic, selfish and entitled. The staff here made us feel like royalty and provided a memorable dining experience. I tip my hat to the owners, staff and management for their hospitality and professionalism. Thank you! read more

Usually, I would not justify spending $15 on a thin crust pizza with just 3-4 toppings on it, (I usually reserve that for the extra supreme from Papa Johns); however, when you have a happy hour every day from 3-6 (and all day Wednesdays) that's 50% off pizzas, how could I NOT go?! Based on my Papa John's comment earlier, you can already tell I'm not a pizza snob. As a graduate student, I love cheap and large quantities. Thankfully, however, the post-doc in my lab turned me onto this place and their happy hour pizzas may be the one thing I look forward to each work week. I've tried their meridionale, Italian sausage, and Brussels sprouts, and all three have been exceptional. I want to pick a favorite but I seriously can't. The Italian sausage is great because it has large pieces of roasted garlic and then the crisp broccolini which gives a nice dense crunch, and their white sauce is smoky and rich and delicious. The meridionale has pork shoulder, collards, and caramelized onions, probably the greatest trio since the Three Musketeers. And for a kid who waged WWIII with my parents over eating "baby cabbages" as a kid, the brussel sprout pizza is incredible. There's something about the slightly burnt/crispy brussel sprout leaves that gives a distinct, slightly bitter, smoky flavor that really rounds out the whole pizza... Which also has a runny farm egg and bacon on top... It's so decadently delicious. The servers are always courteous and polite and bring you water pretty regularly (if they don't leave a bottle of water on your table), and my only complaint is that sometimes it takes a while to get your food. However, I know this is because they've got one brick oven and a lot of happy hour pizza orders to throw in; absolutely nothing wrong with that, just don't show up and expect it to be a quick meal... On average I've spent around an hour-hour and a half here, so make sure you plan accordingly. The interior design is crisp, modern, yet very home-like, and the brick oven fire is warm and welcoming. They even have an adorable patio with a fountain that's great to just sit out at and socialize while you wait for your food. Parking can be not so fun because they only have about 3-5 street spots in front, but you can park in the field by the cross fit place/Abita Brewery. I should feel guilty for parking by the cross fit place and walking over to indulge in decadent pizza, but I don't. Also, I should probably mention happy hour is also half off glasses of wine and well drinks, too? Either way, this place is a total win in my book. read more

Excellent food and service! Great place for the kids to watch pizzas being made and cooked in a wood fired oven.

A great place for kids and easy dining. Solid and consistent food and service and an exceptional happy hour. Now they just need outdoor music! read more

Not my favorite. Really nice decor and atmosphere, service reasonable but food, even the pizza leaves a lot to be desired. Have been three times and actually left without finishing the meal once. Wine list for the type place also needs work. Sad because Covington needs a nice place like this only with food suitable for the expectations of flavor in this area. read more

Nailed every dish we tried. Atmosphere is trendy and lively. A bit loud and no music but still comfortable. Linguini side dish was one of my favorite things- fresh pasta tossed in EVOO with a hint of chili spice. Meatballs had a roasted shell with a full flavored marinara. Mushroom pizza with white sauce was very authentic and delicious! Carbonara pancetta has a smokey flavor that lingers after your bite. Tiramisu and cannoli desserts were classic - nothing unusual but still very sweet and tasty. read more

i finally convinced my husband to take me here for lunch. Was told that no more reservations were being taken for that day, but could walk in. When we got there we were told that there was a 30 minute wait. No problem. As we waited a group of 6 came in. They are ere told there was a 2 hour wait and then they were seated within1 minute while 2 groups of 2 waited. Not okay. read more

Such a great place for a dinner and drinks with friends! Great cocktails and food. Love this place, I've been multiple times!
