New Orleans, LA
Best Pizza in New Orleans.
Harry's top 10 pizza spots in New Orleans score 75–88 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
New Orleans pizza doesn't carry gumbo's reverence, and it shouldn't — this is a red-gravy town, arriving with Sicilian immigrants near the French Market decades before anyone cared about Neapolitan rules. Mid-City is the real center of it now, block after block of Italian-American joints running into pies dressed in creole flavors that shouldn't work and mostly do. Harry doesn't score char count or dough hydration talk. He wants sauce that tastes like tomatoes and a crust sturdy enough to hold a slice without collapsing by the second bite.
