EDIT: They've explained and apologized for making a mistake. Since I'm not on the North Shore on a daily basis, I'll change this review for now, and perhaps give them another chance in the future. This pizza place has a branded offshoot at the Pythian Market in new Orleans, and despite not having the best experience there, I gave the mother restaurant a try. The place is an impressive building, very airy and very Southern. The menu isn't quite the way I would have it (they like egg on salads a lot more than I do, for one thing, and they like vegetable pizza toppings less than I do), but of what I wanted to try, the "hot tots" were a quintessentially Louisiana thing in that I felt bad for ordering them because of the indulgence, but they were delicious. They come with spiced pimento cheese not as a side dip but melted into the pile of tots, which must be about a whole potato's worth and come in a hot iron skillet. On the pizza side, I'd hoped the food hall location had underrepresented their pizza, but it was much the same. The crust a bit too thin for my liking and tasted rather bland, with a sprinkling of sea salt-atypical for a margherita-apparently meaning to rescue it. Still, I would otherwise rate them better. The reason for my dissatisfaction is that despite eating during their happy hour, I didn't get the happy hour price on that pizza, with no explanation as to why. One could argue I should have handled it in the restaurant, but I really shouldn't have to litigate something that they do every day. The way I read their (very generous) policy, it's half price on pizzas 3-6 every day when you dine in, weekends included, regardless of whether one sits at a table or the bar. I hope it's not their business model to fail to honor their trademark deal (one that even the food hall location has a version of) unless you call them out on it. So unless I get some sort of explanation, I must register my disapproval. read more

What a great find in downtown covington! Unfortunately I had a big lunch , but I wanted to try the place before I left town! Service is truly Louisiana friendly and I sat outside in the patio area. They have a wonderful menu with lots of choices. I decided to try two of their appetizers. The Brussels sprouts and the meatballs. Both were excellent! I would have liked the meatballs to be a tad warmer temperature wise, but I understand it's tough to make fresh ones for each order. Flavor wise, they were excellent. The crusty bread that goes along was also amazing! Will definitely be back! read more

Incredible food. Try everything at least once! My favorite is the crab spaghetti and agnolotti!

I have been here a few times, and the food is always great! Prices are average of $15 and higher, and the portions are perfect. The pastas and pizza are my favorites, they are fresh and flavorful every time! Service is also great, my only complaint is it's very loud, not sure if the remodel changed this but it's very noisy. Otherwise I enjoy my visit every time! read more

I had a truly excellent meal at Meribo. They were very concerned with health and safety- the tables were spaced and masks were being worn. On Wednesdays the pizzas and drinks are 1/2 off. My husband got a bee's mule drink, which was really good! We split the shroom pizza, meridionale pizza, and the rigatoni pasta, everything was incredible. I don't have any negatives at all. The pizzas were hot, fresh, and flavorful. The pasta, while it looked plain, had a beautiful and rice sauce and a nice bite. I will absolutely be back! read more

It holds up...it holds up so hard. Meribo was incredible the first time I tried it....so we went back for a friend's birthday on a Wed. when they have all day happy hour! (honestly it's going to be hard to not go EVERY Wed. from now on). We ordered the whipped ricotta to start, with the potato pizza (they did an amazing job of posting a pic of the potato pizza that same day so I had to try it) and the vinnie pie. The whipped ricotta will be my go to app now. It was garlicy, herby, and OH SO GOOD. My only complaint is that there was a ton of skillet bread without enough ricotta dip (MORE DIP PLZ)! The vinnie pie REALLY highlights how delicious their meatballs are! They're perfect, and one day I will get a whole meatball to eat all by itself, darnit! Potato pie was equally as good, reminded me a lot of a potato au gratin on a pizza!! Go enjoy meribo! read more

What a racket this guy has going, just on water alone! You sit down, they ask you what you want to drink, you say iced water, assuming you will get tap, which is what you get literally every other place you go. And if , at other places, you have an option, they would tell you they offer bottled for a fee. Not here. You ask for iced water and they bring you a bottle of water and don't tell you there will be a $3.00 charge till the bill comes. Not cool. Please inform me when you plan to charge me for something I assume is free (like tap water). read more

Love Meribo! Great happy hour and tasty pizzas. Really glad to see them stepping up to renovate while still keeping an outdoor kitchen open. I hope to see more menu items when the main restaurant reopens, as I am missing the beet salad and arugula salads. I'd love to see a little more variety and a few more vegetables in the mix. Overall a great little affordable gem in downtown Covington read more

Meribo is absolutely my favorite restaurant in Covington. I will say that the remodel of the restaurant has created an interior volume that is a bit rough. You really can't hear the members of your party speak during dinner service. We yelled something not appropriate in the restaurant just to prove you can. LOL. That said, the food is second to NONE. The specialists (ie: happy hour) is unrivaled by any business I've ever visited. And who created the Octopus?? Hats off to the Chef! Absolutely amazing!!! read more

Amazing everything. Food was as usual delicious. Service was great. Server was nice and very attentive. Great atmosphere. Will most definitely return and recommend read more

Ventured into downtown Covington for a brunch/lunch with my Foodie Krewe and discovered this little gem that - for me - was hidden - but clearly not hidden at all for a lot of people. Following the helpful comments by previous reviewers we tried several of their signature cocktails - which were all well-made - and my favorite discovery was the "Grammy" - a surprisingly simple combination of Disaronno & Orange Juice. Delightful. For an app we shared the crispy Brussels which could have been a meal all by themselves and then shared three of their pizzas - a Brunch pizza with breakfast like things on it, and then two others that were my favs. The Margarita pizza was simple yet well balanced and very tasty in an understated sort of way. I was surprised by the flavors honestly. The "Shroom" was heartier, cheesier, and more bold in its flavor profile and equally delicious. Kate was our server who was always there and never hovering. Will definitely come back to sample other parts of their menu! read more

This has to be the most pretentious pizza place I've ever seen in my life. This place is so high and mighty that when I ordered it to go order during Covid to eat on my way home I wasn't given any silverware and had to literally call them back to ask them to bring it back out to my car because there was no one to get the attention of. No bag no napkins no class. After I asked the person who brought out my food A togo pak she made me feel like it was my fault for not asking for it in the first place. The customer service definitely was lackluster as well. But probably the most aggravating thing I could've seen was the fact that they handed me five send half inch by half inch raviolis.

Meribo - Margherita Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Went here last week with a friend of mine who was in town from California and let's just say, we are both major foodies.   We ordered the Whipped Ricotta, Brussels and The Rocket Pizza.  Of course, we had cocktails too.  Everything we ordered was delicious!  Nice presentation and price.  The cocktails were spot on as well.  What we really enjoyed doing was adding an extra $10 to our bill to buy drinks for the kitchen staff.  Yes, you can do this.....it's on the back of the menu.   As for location and seating, plenty of outdoor seating; we were seated immediately.  Indoors is open seating, loud as all heck - obviously a busy place.  We are both not fans of this, so outside was the only option in our opinion and with the weather nice as it was, it was perfect. Tonight, I placed an order online which was super convenient - paid for it, 15% gratuity added and a friend of mine is off to get it.  Will update my review once he returns with the 4 pizzas we ordered, same appetizers and Meribo's homemade cookies. TIP: Don't ever call that restaurant to talk to anyone on a Friday or Saturday night. A) They can't hear you....and B) you can barely hear them. Just place your order online their website. read more

This was our first time at Meribo and we had amazing food and service! I didn't care for anything on the drink menu but they fixed me an Ameretta sour off the menu that was so delicious! We will be back , trying to make reservations now! One of our new favorite spots! We can't wait for broussels and ham and cheese pizza again! read more

I write this review as I stuff wild mushroom pizza into my face, so it may be bias. This may be one of the best pizzas in nola. It's perfectly charred, thin, and crisp. Brick oven style. Which is hard to find in nola. Happy hour till 7 is $9 pizzas. Get yo self a pie and sit at #bar1908. You wont regret it. read more

This review is solely on the pizza itself as we had placed an order this week whilst it was closed down for renovations. I had been hyped up pretty well and I can definitely see why! Thanks to everyone on Yelp who posted about The Meats pizza because I freaking loved it. That spice was such a nice kick that it truly elevated the flavorings on the pie. (Not quite sure if it's a secret menu item or something as I didn't see it on their website.) You're going to absolutely love Meribo's pizza if you enjoy a proper Italian style pie which has a thinner crust and is wood fired. The freshly pulled mozzarella was a great touch but I have learned from my trips to Italy that you judge an Italian pizza spot on their Margherita Pizza. (If they have to mask up their base with a bunch of toppings it's not to say it won't be good but it's not going to be great.) The Margherita at Meribo, and this was take out so not accounting the time to drive back to eat it, was so freaking delicious. I loved the ratio of cheese to sauce and the crust is seriously what won me over. There was a certain ingredient that kept coming up while I was eating but I was too hungry to figure it out. All in all, I know I'll be back to dine in the next time I'm in town. I've been stalking their menu on here like paparazzi and I already know a few dishes I want to try. read more

Food and service was great, decor was beautiful. Everything fresh. Love the fancy bread oven and the homemade dressings and sauces. So much better than another dumb chain restaurant. Will definitely come again. My son wouldn't let me eat his leftovers. Tried food from every category on the menu. read more

Pizza? Undercooked dough, inedible. Extra charge for a few leafs of arugula for a subpar burger. Waitress did not ask if we wanted tap or bottled water. Very over priced for mediocre food. read more

The pizza was fine but not all that great. I love mushrooms but wasn't all that thrilled by my shrooms pizza. The cocktails were very good. I loved my fig & rose. We got there around 5:45 pm on Friday and it was deafeningly loud. It seemed to be popular but you couldn't hear the person sitting directly across from you without yelling. I definitely wouldn't recommend sitting inside for a date night. Children were running around like it was a bit challenging of a social interaction and I wouldn't go out of my way to pick up from here. Outside seating would be nice if the temp wasn't too bad. I might come back again for happy hour during the week, and I'm glad we gave it a try. read more
