Theo’s Neighborhood Pizza

We called ahead to check that this place was a BYOB. They told us it was. After we paid for our overpriced meals, they told us we could not open our bottles of wine. The salads were completely average and the wings were gross. Ruined the rest of our night.

Good pizza and sandwiches. Diverse selection. Counter ordering is efficient once you know about it. I sat for a while before someone noticed me. My «Madonna» avatar was a bit incongruous with my initial «Gray man» impression. After I was recognized as a customer, service was attentive and helpful. Pleasant, informal setting for a small group of friends and good pizza. Overall, one of the better pizza joints I have been to.

I have so many pizzas that I love, but hands down best service of the uptown pizza joints is this Theos. The staff is the difference. Once, our specialty pizza of the day apparently was burnt in the lower oven and they comped us a round of free drinks without us asking. Classy indeed. The crazy thing is my sweets and I chat and giggle so much anyways we didnt even notice the extra length in time.
The crust is right, the toppings are all awesome. Dont pass up the pizza of the day either, you might miss an awesome combination!
Beer selection is good and atmosphere is chill.

Good pizza, great pretzel bread sticks. Friendly service and enjoyed the lunch. Couple tvs and good selection of drinks.

definitely in my list for best pizza in New Orleans. Their crust is really crispy which I’m a big fan of! Pizza!

Had the monthly special — roasted butternut squash and bacon. Simply amazing. …one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a while

Their Sweet Spinach salad is amazing! Plus their Iced Tea is always fresh. The staff are pleasant and attentive.

One of my favorite pizza spots in New Orleans. The texture of the thin crust is very crunchy and flaky. I am a traditionalist who prefers a simple pepperoni with black olives but they do have a wide selection of pizzas with also a pizza of the month. The staff here are great and very friendly. Parking on this block is always challenging but well worth the fight.

Great service and even better pizza! I would eat here more if they did pizza by the slice.

Very nice atmosphere, cheap food and drinks. The thin pizza was a surprising hit. Our server was quick but a little dull. The only reason I can’t give this place 5 stars is because the pizza gave me hiccups.

I am definitely a fan of Theo’s. The atmosphere is quaint and the service was spectacular. I took my daughter and her friend who needed gluten free pizza. The friend said the gluten free pizza was good, but I noticed the cheese would not stay on the thing to save its life! I had the Local Pro, which was delicious but way over priced. My daughter had a regular cheese with pepperoni and bacon, and she loved it. My only gripes would be the cost, and that I personally like a thicker crust. I also wish the person who took my order would have pointed out the lunch specials, just as a courtesy.

My favorite thing about this neighborhood pizza shop is the staff, friendly and attentive. The service industry is a crap shoot in this town and these guys make you feel like they are glad you stopped in. The walls are decorated with classic New Orleans posters, pretty cool you can get lost in them if you are into that kind of thing. Three TVs, expect the Saints if they are in season. The food here takes a little time so grab your favorite beverage (medium size beer list, macros to local micros) and hit the Ms. PacMan/​Galaga combo. The pretzels sticks are very good to start with, warm and soft, great mustard for dipping. They offer several speciality pies, or you can create your own. I like the pizza here but I don’t love it. All and all for me a great place to pop in for some apps and drinks catch a game and be treated right.

New favorite pizza spot in New Orleans. Great, crispy thin crust with a classic, slightly tangy sauce and greasy cheese. We just grabbed a large pepperoni which was more than enough for three of us (probably better for four people). The staff here are friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is laid back.

Don’t ever place an order for pick up and think it’s going to be there! The first time I called in an order for pick up, they told me 15 min. I went in 15 minutes later and the kitchen said they never got the order. Between the cash register/​phone and the kitchen is only 4 feet away! The second time I called in an order to be picked up they said 20 – 25 min. I went in 25 minutes later, and they gave my food away to someone else! They said it was an accident. They tried to make it up by rushing to make my order again and offering me a gift card for next time. Why the f_​_​k would I ever want to go back???

Quaint little place! Love the pizza! Got one called the swamp thing! Soooo good! Wouldn’t say its the best pizza in New Orleans! But it is definitely good enough to try out! The service is also good too! And you don’t have to wait real long for the food to be ready. The salads are good too! Can’t remember which one I had but it was pretty good!

Pepperoni pizza was disappointing. The sauce was flavorful but the pizza was way too greasy. The spinach salad with goat cheese and dried cranberries was quite good. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Out of the other locations in the New Orleans area, this is by far my favorite! For some reason the pizza here just taste better. I try a new pie every time I stop in and I pretty much could live on their cheesy bread. It always has this perfect amount of char on the bottom which pairs well with the gooey cheese liberally dolloped between two pieces of chewy bread. Their marinara hits the sweet spot and it’s great for dipping their crispy crust in after you’ve devoured a delicious pizza.
My favorites:
1. The Expert
2. Marilyn’s POTA Supreme
3. The Eccentric
Definitely try the Dreamsicle after your done to wash
it all down! i

Try the Caprese Salad! Huge slices of mozzarella delight the pallet with an earthy almost nutty tang that balances perfectly with the balsamic vinegar, Fresh basil, spinach, arugula, tomato and cracked pepper and salt! The cheesy breadsticks were delicious, I loved the very slight char on my bread with mozzarella and marinara. My Expert pizza with added mushrooms were the perfect ending. This pizzeria is so clean and inviting, with The friendliest staff and (thank you for fresh air!) nonsmoking indoor delight! Come to Theo’s!

I don’t get it. «Excellent thin crispy pizza» someone said. It’s thin, yes, and crispy, I’ll grant you, but it’s rolled hard and flat and cut into a circle and tastes like a lot of fast food pizza I’ve had. I bought a pizza just like it in a dine-​in movie theater once. I just don’t get it.
Sure, they have some nice toppings. Prosciutto, arugula, shaved Italian cheeses, all very nice, and they dress up that bland pizza enough to make it palatable, but I’ve had plenty of fabulous crispy thin-​crust pizza before, and this ain’t it.
If I had to base it on the four-​star rating Unilocalers have given it, I’d be tempted to say folks in New Orleans don’t know what good pizza tastes like. But then again, this is Magazine Street, maybe these are mostly tourists.
I’m on the gulf coast, been down here a year, and I have yet to find a decent pizza on the coast or in New Orleans. I’m not a pizza snob, believe it or not. I love a good Midwestern thin crust pizza, a good New York pizza, really love a Chicago stuffed pizza, and heck, I even still like Godfather’s, though it was way better in the 70s. I’ve had better pizza than Theo’s in a roller skating rink. Okay, I’m lying, not better, but just about the same. Really.

AN OIL SLICK OF CHEESE; the pepperoni were virtually floating in what looked to be a pizza-​like sautéé pan.
GREASE SOAKED 2 PAPER PLATES & 4 PLYS OF BOUNTY. Yep I subjected my slice to an elementary science experiment. A photo of the empirical results is included. But warning, the image is graphic in nature and may be disturbing to some viewers.
SO WHERE TO GET A CRISPY THIN CRUST pizza, that isn’t greasy like Theo’s, limited in toppings like Pizza Delicious, flimsy in a floppy crust like Slice, thick and doughy like VCP or Café Roma, salty like Sugar Park, or outrageously over priced like Little Vic’s? Believe it or not (if you ask for it grilled extra crispy) the pep & sausage from Big Easy Daiquiris at 501 Bourbon ain’t bad.
