Love this place. Everything is delicious. The specials are always great. Their pizza are tasty. We order the pepperoni. Nice friendly staff read more

Everytime a give this place a chance I 've been disappointed. It's disgusting and 3rd rate. The place looks abandoned with no proper upkeep to the outside of the building. It's better inside but the food is so subpar read more

Can't say enough about the food! Delicious and amazing! Slightly on the pricey side but the food will not disappoint! It's so fresh, and authentic and there's something for everyone. Great service too. The outside of this restaurant doesn't look like much, in fact it's pretty easy to just drive right pass it, and parking is not plentiful. You will love it! read more

Found this place by searching Italian restaurants on Open Table. Made a good choice by going with this restaurant. I gave 3 out of 4 stars because we made reservations and still had to sit and wait for 15 minutes. Also when we ordered our entrees, we order a pizza to go for when we finished our meals and the waiter forgot about it, so we had to wait another 15 minutes. Understanding his mistake we still left him a 20.00 tip due to the COVID hardships on the restaurant businesses. NOW... me and the beautiful wifey LOVED the ambiance and the food that was sooo good I just wanted to dance. You know food is good when you dancing in your chair. I had the veal marsala with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I cleaned my plate and would have licked it but my beautiful wifey would have probably slapped me. The beautiful wifey ordered the chicken parmesan, she would have finished it but we scarfed down a delicious appetizer of thinly sliced wedge eggplant. It was a good experience and we will definitely be back. I would have gave the cook a hug, but that would be frowned upon because of COVID. read more

In the covid-era of things, Oak Oven is still open and doing curb-side pick up! After craving a good slice of pizza that would be reminiscent of one that I would have from Jersey, I think I found a decent place that will partially fill that hole for the time being. I got the carne pizza For the price, I wish it was a bit larger but then again, I'm spoiled with tristate area prices. The crust also could have been a bit crunchier, but other than that I have no other complaints. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

This was our first time here since moving to Harahan a little over a month ago. Everything about this meal was superb. Service, ambiance, both the quality and flavor of the dishes we had... all superb. We had calamari to start, the papardelle pasta with shrimp and artichoke, and the carne pizza. We will definitely be back, and this is a new regular neighborhood spot for us. How lucky we are to live so close to such excellent Italian food! read more

On facebook right now, Oak Oven has a great carryout promotion for 20% off food from a limited menu and 50% off bottles of wine. On top of that it looks like Yelp is giving 3% cash back. Money talks. We ordered by phone at 5:20pm (they open at 5pm), and they said our order would be ready by 6:20pm. So glad we ordered early. There were a ton of people waiting by their cars when we arrived, they definitely have a devoted fan base. We got the lamb meatball pizza and the veal marsala. Full disclosure, I'm a guy who's perfectly happy with the chain pizza places. I enjoyed my pizza. I think the best definition is well balanced. When I looked at their menu, I had to rule out items with mushroom and purely vegetarian stuff because I can't handle the fungus and need a little meat. The salsiccia and carne pizzas had ingredients that sounded salty so I chose the lamb meatball which has sweet peppers, basil, red chile, tomato, and ricotta as stated on their menu. It came out really good, the lamb was plentiful, cooked well, and not too salty. They just had fresh, quality ingredients that don't need any extra seasoning. Ricotta cheese is not my favorite but I can't complain since I knowingly got it. The veal marsala was consumed solely by my girlfriend because it has mushrooms. She says it had good portions, the sauce was very flavorful with plenty of mushrooms. The veal was well cooked and moist. The mashed potatoes were a little watery but still good. I think Oak Oven is a solid choice for simple Italian that uses quality ingredients. It's nothing too fancy (though to be fair I didn't get anything fancy) and it won't break your carbohydrate or sodium allotment for the week. Maybe you'll break your carb limit if you're able to dine in and you eat their free bread. read more

We have dined here several times and have always found the service to be great. The atmosphere is wonderful- cozy, romantic, and laid- back. They also have a few tables set up outside for those who prefer outdoor dining at this time. Make sure to have a reservation beforehand because this place is always packed! We love their pizza (huge fans of wood- fires pizza) and can never resist ordering the calamari- perfectly crisp and comes with three unique and delicious sauces ( garlic aioli, spicy mayo, and tomato basil). Our favorite pizza has been the Carne- house- made sausage, smoked bacon, pepperoni, and sweet onions. I'm typically not a fan of meat on my pizza, but this has so much flavor and is not greasy like you would expect. This is a great fixture to the Harahan area. read more

Oak Oven - Carne Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Placed a large order in advance it was ready right on time, staff could not have been more friendly or professional. I wish I could say the food was great but alas, no. The pizza, while unique (I happen to like thin crust pizza) was dry. I ordered 5 different pizzas. Toppings were imaginative but sparse. Use of cheap green olives on pizza was unfortunate. Fried calamari was sad- light beige, very soft, oil-tasting and rubbery. Margherita was the favorite, very rich and suited to the crispy crust. For a party of 8, $130 including tax and tip. Guests were extremely underwhelmed. Will try somewhere else next time. read more

This is our second time here. We started with the oyster and crab appetizer. It was over fried and the oyster tasted too fishy for me. The crab and ravioli was good. It consisted with lump crab meat and ricotta with a hint of lemon. For our entrees I had the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. The fettuccine was handmade. The shrimps were fresh and a good size. I love the texture and taste of their fresh pasta. The boyfriend had the veal parmigiana. That will be my next choice when I return. Their red sauce was so goood! I've had their wood fire pizza before also and it is also pretty good. Great service. I just wish it wasn't so far from where I live lol but I'm willing to make the 30-40 min drive. :) read more

Nice glass of wine, warm, hot bread, pecan salad with chicken Parm to die for my husband and I will be back...

Last Friday I had the pleasure of having Oak Oven for the first time in so so many years and I was truly anything but disappointed. I vaguely remember thinking that it was pretty good the last time I had it so I thought I would give it another try to see. For the other appetizers, we ordered the Melanzana Fritta (fried eggplant), Calamari, and Frutti di Golfo (shrimp, crab and artichoke). Every single one of these appetizers were so delicious and my favorite was the Frutti di Golfo which was so unique and so delicious with the complementary bread they bring you! The sauces that came with the calamari were divine, and the eggplant was fried perfectly with a perfect marinara sauce (which may sound easy for Italian restaurants, but sometimes I find some marinara at some places are chunky and not good at all). For my entrée, I ordered the paneed veal and I will say it is not the best deal I have ever had because it was not as crispy as I would have liked, but it was still pretty good. The star of the show though was the special for the night which was be prosciutto and fig pizza. This was easily a top five pizza for me. Everything about it was perfect, from the crust to all of the fresh toppings which our server had told us that the figs were grown in their own garden. Lastly, we ordered the tiramisu which I absolutely loved and it was such a nice portion size. I will say I am not as big of a fan of fruit being on top of it, but it was still very good and did an over power it. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive, and made our meal even better. The inside was smaller than I remember but it was definitely a nice place to grab dinner, and I will definitely be back soon especially for the pizza!!!! read more

Best pizza I've had in the greater New Orleans area. Neopolitan style from a high end wood burning oven made with quality ingredients. The eggplant appetizer is also delicious. They have pastas on the menu but I'll never order it as I'll always be going for the pizza. It is a small place so best to make a reservation. Service was very friendly and helpful. Wine list by the glass is good and a glass of the Daou Cabernet will set you right. read more

This purports to be a particularly Italian pizza and pasta restaurant, but it seemed to me a more specifically Southern take on the cuisine. On one hand, it's got a farm-to-table thing going, but on the other, the salad I got was drenched in a very sweet pepper jelly, and the margherita I ordered contained more solid, heavy cheese than I've ever had on-say-a Neapolitan style pizza. That's not to say it wasn't good; the basil on top had a nice zing. While the location isn't terribly far from touristy downtown New Orleans, culturally it's a world away and the small dining room was quite full of people who seemed exclusively local. The service was attentive enough but by no means fast; it was a solid half hour from ordering before I actually got my pizza-though the bread with sundried tomato bits and olive oil and a salad helped to pass the time. They explicitly claim to provide for vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs, though their official menu is fairly conventional so you would have to ask. I wasn't entirely blown away, but the place seems to have a nice niche for itself. read more

This is my third time going to Oak Oven in a matter of months. Each time, the service was great, the food is fresh and hot, and the restaurant is clean. I love the Parmigiano salad and the homemade fettuccine. I had that all 3 times. This time, we tried the Bread Pudding. It was superb!! Simple but super delicious. The Strawberry Lemonade Sangria was delicious as well. Last time they had Mango Cherry Sangria with mango garnish. I can't wait to go back and try the pizza and a new Sangria!! read more

Ordered $100 worth of food on Uber Eats and the manager said they forgot the Prosecco poached crabmeat because it's not commonly ordered? Come on after waiting an hour and a half to his is the reason from the manager lady? Also the spaghetti and meatballs were burnt. It was the worst order and I have no idea why they are ranked as "best overall" on Uber. It was terrible. read more

EAT LOCAL, Who needs New Orleans...!!! Stumbled upon this place from a Facebook recommendation. After reviewing the website decided that's where we were having dinner tonight. The website highly recommended making reservations. It was 5:05pm and they opened for dinner at 5 so I called and got a recording. Hung up, waited 5 minutes called again, no answer just the recording saying again reservations highly recommended. Called 1 more time and recording again. So we decided just to head over as it was now 5:45 and figured they wouldn't be too busy yet. Well to our surprise they were packed. I walked in to give our name and was asked if had reservations to which i replied no and told the hostess (which happen to be the manager) that i called 3 times with no answer. He seemed puzzled by this. He asked what number i called so I then showed him my phone showing the unanswered call attempts. He then told us it would be about an hour wait and we could have a seat. Then 5 minutes later he approached us saying he had a table for us. I was great-full to be seated so quickly and he apologized for the confusion. This was our 1st visit here. We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere was nice. We plan to return with reservations next time. The restaurant is small and cozy and had friendly staff. Food was hot, fresh, and tasty. I had the chicken parm, he had the brick oven pizza. We shared a bread pudding for dessert and it was delish Thanks for a good meal, Michelle Metairie, La read more

We came to New Orleans for spring break of 2023, we quickly decided to avoid the French Quarter at all cost, YELP to the rescue!!! We found Oak Over and LOVED every bit. When we walked in walked in the young person making out pizza was dancing as he pulled our pizza out! You could taste that everyone there chose to enjoy their time to together! The pasta was very good and the pizza was delicious! read more

Finally! An Italian joint that seems authentic! To be fair, I've only had the Handmade Pappardelle thus far. The pasta was everything I'd hoped for: fresh, light, and flavorful. The shrimp were very large and perfectly cooked--also flavorful. The pasta, itself, tasted freshly made. And, as a perk, this was takeout via Uber Eats! I often judge restaurants by how well their takeout tastes. If it's tasty via takeout, I can usually bet that dining in will be a better treat. I'll be trying the Margherita pizza next! I'll definitely update this post when that happens. Edit: tried their Margherita pizza and it was everything I'd hoped for. Super fresh mozzarella atop a light, tomato sauce that didn't overpower the nuttiness of the cheese. Love the crust, which was slightly thin with a little bite to it. Delicious. read more

Oak Oven - Margherita Pizza, delicious. - Pizza Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

I have wanted to try here for a while, but was a bit disappointed. We were there before they opened. It was 3 of us. We walk in, no one else there & an abrupt "so you have a reservation?" We said no (not 1 other patron in this place yet), chatter among themselves. Ok, you can sit here. The first table right next the front door & wait area, menus on the table. If you are busy, I get it, but ok, moving on. I ordered a ravioli appetizer. Homemade and a pesto type sauce. It was enjoyable. I had the paneed veal with homemade fettuccine alfredo. The veal was very small pieces and more breading than veal. Fettuccine alfredo was very good!!! So was the asparagus. Our friend had the lasagna and he said it was good and he enjoyed it. My husband ordered the formaggi pizza. This was not very good. Even though menu describes the ingredients, there was not "tomatoes" on there. It came with tomato sauce. Formaggi pizza usually means different cheeses (ricotta lacked), garlic in some cases. The dough was very doughy. The focaccia that we got after the appetizer, was ok. My suggestion would be to train the staff because the waiter was uncertain when we asked questions and was not very familiar with the menu. He could have been new, but make sure your employees know the menu. I always try to give positive reviews, but i need to give an honest review. K maybe we just caught them on an off night. read more

The food is absolutely amazing. The service could be a little better. It's not terrible. The atmosphere when you walk in is not completely welcoming, but they warm up as the encounter goes on. The location is nice, but surprising. The outside definitely does not match the inside. This was worth the experience, although it left me wanting a little more in some areas. read more

I have been loving oak oven for a few years now. My 2 meal choices are always chicken parm and penne diavola. I'm sure everything else is great too, I just can't go and not get one of these 2 meals. They have some of the best chicken Parm I've ever had. A huge cut of chicken with the worlds best cheese. The penne Diavala is shrimp and crab in a spicy butter sauce. Real crab. Nice big shrimp. I practically lick the bowl clean when I have that sauce. It's to die for. The parking lot is always packed. They prefer reservations. The food doesn't come out super fast, but I'm willing to sacrifice that to have delicious, fresh food! read more

Food is excellent and the service is too. The pasta and pizza is fabulous and we are so lucky to have this restaurant in Harahan!

We had the best lunch experience here. The gluten free pasta was excellent. Waitress was so nice. Highly recommend.

I have eaten at OAK OVEN many times since they opened. Always a fresh high quality meal, the focaccia bread & oil is sooo delicious, love the fried eggplant, all entrees are very good but my particular favorite is the Beccaficco (spelling?) ... Was looking for someplace to cater a luncheon for 20 people at my office and thought of them ... I worked with Manager Martin Valdez - we decided on the menu, prices were reasonable, arranged for delivery to my office downtown .. Thanks to Martin - and Chelsea - it went off without a hitch ... Our luncheon consisted of Pesto Chicken Pasta, Shrimp Artichoke Lemon Pasta, Caesar Salad, Meatballs, Mini Ciabatta Sandwiches: Rosemary Chicken & Chicken Caesar - and, of course, their signature Focaccia Bread with dipping oil ... Everyone at our event was so pleasantly surprised ... they hadn't heard of Oak Oven, but they know it now! Oak Oven hit it out of the park - thanks for helping to make my luncheon a success! Big thumbs up!! read more

We have so many great Italian restaurants and this one is just over priced and mediocre. The focaccia table bread is delicious and served warm but we had to wait at least 10 minutes from ordering to get it. You can buy this yourself from the Wandering Goat next door. We had a pepperoni pizza and it was average but more sauce than cheese. We asked for Parmesan and the lady put maybe a tablespoon or on it and walked away. We about died laughing at this cheese stinginess. You can get a much better pizza with overloaded toppings at Gendusas. read more

Hadn't been there in years because I moved but it's one of my favorite restaurants in Metairie/Jefferson and definitely recommend it to anyone I know visiting. Great menu! Unique! Everyone made to order! The meatballs are my favorite!! read more

"I'll have a 2 piece, spicy, white with red beans and a Coke". It's hard to believe that those words would have been spoken in this great little new restaurant not that long ago. Oak Oven looks nothing like a former fast food joing other than the shape of the building. They have given the place a complete renovation from the inside-out including a soon to be front deck that I assume will have additional seating once it's finished. None of that matters of course if the food wasn't unreal good. I hate when people claim "blah blah blah is the best in the city" and probably haven't been to every place that serves that type of food. I have been to EVERY worth while pizza joint in the city(except Domenica) and OAK OVEN HAS THE BEST PIZZA that I have eaten. That was hard for me to say being a Pizza Delicious loyalist for so long. The 1st time I went my daughters and I ordered a Margherita and a Maiale pizza. The Margherita was the classic sliced mozzeralla(not shredded cheese that some places use), olive oil and fresh basil. The Maiale is roast pork, fennel sausage, smoked bacon and sweet onion. It was so good that I tried coming back the next day for another one but they are closed Sundays. So instead I brought my girlfriend back the next week. We split a Maiale pizza and beef and lamb ragu pasta special. The beef and lamb were cooked down in their own juiciness and this was placed on top of broken lasagna pasta noodles. No sauce other than what the meat gave off from itself. This was sooo good and like no other pasta dish I have ever had. The pizzas are never the exact same shape and size so if you need geometrically shaped food this may not be for you. My last pizza came out more amoeba shaped(looked at me using biology terms!) Oak OVen also grows a lot of their own veggies and herbs, I'm doubting that Popeyes ever did that. I honestly can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. read more

Love it.. growing up this place use to be a POPEYES, it was down the street from my elementary school and we walked to it everyday for French fries and a large drink! It so cool to see it as a Italian restaurant ( it's truly delish too) it's now a weekly lunch spot for my mother and I! The ravioli appetizer is a MUST (small but mighty portion) & The fettuccine is divine and without a doubt made w love!! Caution: located next to a small school so try to avoid during school pick up hours in the afternoon, it gets WILD (no fault of the restaurant- parents just park ALLL over lol ) read more

We have always been very satisfied with the meals that we've gotten from Oak Oven, but we ordered today right before they closed for lunch, and the pizza was almost inedible. We rarely complain, but the pizza was charred and black in places and raw in others. Disappointing. We will try them again, but this was not a good experience. read more

Drove by a few times and finally decided to stop! Def worth it. The pizza was good and the chicken parm was def good too! Recommend it if you are interested in some local Italian food. read more

My expectations were super high for this place. That may have hurt my overall review. The soup was fabulous. I've heard lotta hype about this being the best pizza in town but I cannot concur. I found the wine list to be somewhat limited but the staff to be super helpful. I came in off beat hour for the restaurant and caught the tail end of their lunch service. They were out of balsamic for the oil dipping sauce. I was disappointed until they gave me some Parmesan cheese. It was very nice. Maybe even better than the balsamic would've been. The oil was infused with Rosemary which gave it an odd flavor but it was kind of nice. I'm not typically a huge fan of Rosemary but this was a nice pairing. There are some serious foodies working here. Can't wait to go back and try the pastas I heard other yelpers brag about. No Wi-Fi cost you at least one star read more

Oak Oven is an Italian restaurant located in Harahan. You walk in to the sound of either classic songs from guys like Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, and Dean Martin, or some New Orleans jazz. There are bottles and containers from food products of the Italy and Sicily regions and lots of family pictures for you to see. Hint, if you are Sicilian like myself, you will look at the pictures and be like...that looks like my Uncle Pete or Aunt Frances. Definitely make sure you get some of their bread hot out of the brick oven in the back. It goes great with the mix of olive oil and herbs and spices. Try not to eat more than two servings of the bread so you can eat your meal though, it's tough. I suggest you get the Caesar salad, small if it's only you, but the large to share with someone else. If you are not a fan of a lot of dressing on your salad, you might want to request light dressing or ask for it on the side. The calamari is pretty good too. This visit, I actually had the calamari and a salad as my meal and still had half the calamari leftover for another meal. We have had the crabmeat ravioli before which was awesome. It came with a cream sauce that wasn't too rich but filling. For entrees, the pizzas are great. I like the Lamb Meatball the best. I've tried the veal Marsala, chicken parm, and veal parm. All were very tasty. I'm not a fan of their red sauce because it taste like there is some anise in it, just not a fan of the stuff. They will up charge you for fettuccine pasta instead of mashed potatoes when you get the veal Marsala, I don't know why though. It should be an even swap. I can understand for the pappardelle because they make it in house. They said they make the fettuccine in house but I don't believe them, didn't taste homemade. Last but not least, desserts. Do not, and I repeat, do not get the cannolis. It is some weird deconstructed let down. I know, you gotta think outside the box and be creative with food, it's an art, but you couldn't even taste all the art at the same time if you wanted to with this thing. Anyways, go try it out, it is a great location next to the Harahan bowling alley on Jefferson Highway. Oh, there are usually empty spots on the other side of the restaurant, not the side of the bowling alley. There is also seating outside with heaters, but when it's 37 degrees outside, I'd rather eat inside. Make reservations! read more

Pretty rough price increase, and fair prices were a huge factor when I would come here. $3-$4 per item is steep and brings this from an "every week" spot to a "rarely" spot. Still great food but I may need to find a new go-to pizza. read more

This is what happens when you get cheap and cut corners their food quality was better in the beginning but going downhill now

Fettuccine Alfredo. Paneed Veal. Homemade Pasta. Arugula salad Pizza. Asparagus and the Gelato. All amazing but the fettuccine is what keeps us coming back. I can't rave enough about this place. The fresh local ingredients and daily homemade pasta is beyond amazing. My only complaint would be that it's a bit pricey and we totally wouldn't have a problem with that given the quality of the food is so worth it but we are left wishing we had a little more every time...small portions for the price but quality makes up for it and we go back time and time again. read more

Ordered from Uber Eats tonight. Pasta Diavola for me, and Fettuccine Alfredo for my wife. Simple kids pizza for my 2yr old. When we opened the boxes, we thought there must be a mistake. The portions seemed far too small for the price we paid! The fettuccine seemed like a side portion, and the Diavola had only three (largish) shrimp. Not at all what we were expecting for the $40 we paid before delivery fee. We decided to go ahead and eat, and not worry about raising a stink. My wife wasn't terribly impressed with the fettucine, but I did enjoy the Diavola. Little bit of heat, without being uncomfortable. The pizza was pretty good, too. In the end, the food was good, but I wouldn't order on Uber Eats again. I hope the experience/portions are better when you dine in. read more

Ordered the ribeye special with a side of veggies, I'd give my meal a solid 7/10, would be higher if the meat wasn't cooked well done. But I did try a slice of my dads lamb meatball pizza and that was far better than the steak I ordered. Perfect crisp on the crust, and the cheese/meats were made to perfection. Next time I visit I'll be ordering the pizza for sure. Service was fairly quick and efficient, you get free focaccia bread with olive oil as well which was delicious. Ambiance was warm and inviting though it was fairly crowded due to it being a Friday night. If you're ever in the harahan area looking for high quality pizza/Italian food eat here. read more

Delicious Italian food happening here. Started with the grilled long stem artichoke appetizer with crab and shrimp. I could had a couple of these and called it dinner ...delish. lasagna for me and fettucchini with chicken for him. The lasagna was flavorful, cheesy and seasoned well. The only complaint here is it was room temperature...could have been warmer for sure. The scratch made fettucchini was creamy, cheesy, decadent and delicious. A Harahan hidden gem for sure. read more

Oak Oven - Artichoke with crab and shrimp appetizer - Pizza Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Me and my husband came here for the first time the other day and have officially decided it's going to be our new date spot. Before I officially begin this review, I want to mention my issue with a lot of pizza places down south: they mess it up because they simply just do the most. What I mean by that is they put too much seasonings in their sauce, overcook the pizza (particularly wood fired pizza-technically wood fired pizza only needs to be cooked 60-90 seconds thus they burn very easily), put too much oil, try to make it "flavorful" by adding random things to it-whether it be the sauce or the crust. You get what I'm saying now? But here's the thing about good, authentic pizza-what makes it so good is fresh ingredients. Simple. So with that being said, when I first came to Oak Oven I didn't have high expectations because being that I'm a first generation Italian from NY I'm a pizza snob-I'll admit it. But then they brought out piping hot focaccia and a (sundried?) tomato olive oil. And I was like ok this is top notch. So then my expectations for the margarita pizza I ordered heightened a bit after that. And when my pizza came, I didn't even have to taste it to know it was going to be good. The sauce looked light so I'm thinking it was just crushed tomatoes which is what a true margarita pizza should have (a lot of places advertise margarita pizza but then they'll either just throw cut up grocery store tomatoes and throw them on top or use a heavy sauce which isn't true margarita. Told you I'm a pizza snob). And the mozzarella looked fluffy and stringy so obviously that was a good sign. And the crust had the perfect amount of bubbles but was still thin-looking so I knew it would have a good bite (and it didn't look burnt which is KEY). Sprinkled some Parmesan on it because Parmesan just makes everything (and I'm going to be totally honest I judge people that don't like Parmesan on their pizza, sorry not sorry). Mind you, this was my thinking before even biting into the pizza. So when I did take a bite, I was so happy that everything I thought was, in fact, true. The pizza was light and fresh-so incredibly fresh-and the freshness and simplicity of the ingredients were the star of the pizza. As I mentioned earlier, that's what good pizza is for me! My husband had the chicken parm and I don't eat chicken parm so I personally can't speak to it but he loved it and he's a picky eater so with that said I'm sure it was good if he gave it his stamp of approval. Another thing I want to note is how great the service was. Our waiter was so efficient and friendly. Also, the interior here is modern, a tad rustic and clean. I loved it. I loved everything actually, and luckily my husband and I live in Harahan so we'll be back soon because this is officially my favorite pizza in the New Orleans area. And I've tried a lot of places, folks. So do yourself a favor and go here! I know the location is a bit more unassuming than other pizza/Italian restaurants in the actual city of New Orleans, but it's worth the extra ten minute drive to check out Oak Oven :) read more
