    Food was good. Service was good, friendly staff member at the register. Chill vibe. The service had a wait but they cleared the list fairly quickly. The only downside was I couldn't try the crawfish bread on this day. I will have to get it once I'm back in New Orleans.

    I called in the order so not a dine-in review. Great place to grab and go for a pizza. Everyone was friendly. The pizza was to die for. I almost ate the whole box by myself. The wings were perfect as well. This spot was 10x better than any chain pizza place. Food was ready in the time I was given. It took about 12-15 minutes but that's not bad at all. My order was ready when I walked in.

    I waited to post this review because I needed to see how the pizza help up during a reheat the next day and boy was I satisfied. I enjoyed the hot sausage pizza (hot sausage, green peppers, red onions) which was highly recommended by a neighbor friend. Now don't be surprised at their pricing. This isn't dominos or pizza corporate chain where you can get a $10 or less pizza. I spent $27 including tip for the large pizza. However it lasted me 3 days (one dinner and two lunches). The service was great. They answered all my questions and made sure I had everything I needed before leaving. The inside is diner styled but there's plenty of booths if you want to eat inside. Next time I will try the wings which also come highly recommended. And I may throw some shredded lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and a bit of Japanese Mayo atop my pizza and remix it into a hot sausage "poboy" pizza.

    Pepperoni Ray's Café is located in the New Orleans neighborhood of Gentilly at 5339 Franklin Avenue which is about 12 minutes and 5 miles away from the New Orleans French Quarter. When you are looking for where to eat pizza in New Orleans Pepperoni Ray's Café has a great selection of some really interesting pizza options which makes it a great place to enjoy some nice New Orleans pizza. Pepperoni Ray's Café serves more than just pizza as they also offer a selection of salads, chicken wings, cheesy bread and crawfish bread. My video review of Pepperoni Ray's Cafe is here: https://youtu.be/J29PUCuVNxM

    Service was horrible. Customer service was pitiful representative extremely rude.

    Long time bookmark! Adam Carola or some dude like that came here one time I think…read more I was super stressed and didn't want to interact with any humans so I got these wings to go and headed back to the hotel. I had seen some news about them at some point, I love chicken wings, and it looked good. It's take out only. Not much to see besides the menu and the pictures of Adam and some other dudes. You can see the kitchen, little shotgun style place. I asked some questions about the sauce heat levels and ordered what he equated to medium regular buffalo I think. The names are strange to me. Just say Buffalo!!! Ugh. The wings were flavored very well, I liked the sauce a lot. The fries had a nice seasoning on them as well. The packaging absolutely ruined the food. It was all soaked when I opened it. That really sucked. It was about a 15 minute ride. They packed it in a wax lined, fully sealed box, similar to an Asian food box. It simply steamed the food while I drove. Bad move guys. I could not even eat the fries, they were just mush. Wings had a slight crispness in some spots after I left them open for 20 mins or so to dehydrate. As I said, the sauce was great so I did eat the wings. The wings are probably really good I bet if they were not ruined by the packing. 3 stars for the flavor. '26 - 96

The app said the order will be ready in 30 minutes and to my surprise when I showed up 25 minutes later, they had my order all bagged up and ready to go. I also need to add that my houseguest love these wings and ate every one of them.

    We stumbled upon Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken while exploring New Orleans, and I'm so glad we…read moredid! The fried chicken was the star--served hot and fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy on the inside. Just good, classic Southern fried chicken done right. The sides were great, but the fried green tomatoes are a MUST. They were fresh, crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch without being greasy. This was also my first time ever trying chess pie, and WOW! It was absolutely to die for--rich, sweet, buttery, and the perfect ending to the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out fresh. Sometimes the best food spots are the ones you just happen to stumble upon. Great fried chicken, delicious sides, amazing chess pie, and friendly service. Definitely a 5-star New Orleans stop!

They also have misting fans out there to manage the discomfort. You can smell the place from a block away. It's neat to be at a place surrounded by historic homes and old oak trees. Now onto the food. I got the 3 Meat Plate with Brisket, Ribs, and Pulled Pork. I've been smoking and eating Texas style meats for 25+ years, so I'm a bit of an admitted BBQ snob. The brisket was cooked perfectly. Not overwhelmingly Smokey, very tender, and still juicy. The ribs were a bit of a disappointment since they were overcooked and had a leathery texture. The flavor was incredible, just the texture was off. I wasn't upset though...it happens. The Pulled Pork was still very moist and easy to eat. The sides were very good also. The Beef Fat Tater Tots had a great texture and a Smokey flavor that I suspect came from a paprika based spice blend on them. The potato salad had great texture, but was very onion forward, so be aware if that is not your thing. My wife got the brisket plate, but got the lean cut from the flat of the brisket. It was still tender and moist. Her Roasted Garlic Mac-n-Cheese and Brussel Sprout sides gave me envy...they were both absolutely delicious! This place also has unique BBQ sauces. They have a house sauce which is a sweet sauce much like you might buy of any grocery store shelf, but better. They also had a Carolina style and a Jerk style BBQ sauce, which ended up being my favorite and was an unexpected surprise. It was a perfect companion for the pulled pork in particular. I gave the entire experience a 4 out of 5. Very solid lunch option. If you're in N.O. and aren't looking for seafood...give them a try.
