The Pizza Shoppe 5101 West Esplanade Avenue, Metairie, LA 70006

"This restaurant doesn't stick out from the street and I passed right by it. And I was looking for it. But it has been there over 25 years. Well it is a little small when you walk in but the service was really good. The owner was very nice. I ordered a whole muffaletta and when it was delivered to my table. I looked at it and said to my brother that was with me that looks different. Because they make their own bread and olive salad. Well I took a bite and said that it is really good. The bread was not really thick how so muffalettas are and it is hard to taste everything in it. But this was much better. With every bite you take you were able to taste the meat and cheese and the olive salad. The bread was krispy but not hard like some muffalettas are. We really enjoyed it. And I will definitely go back. It was well worth the trip from the westbank. I Googled it and we wanted to try it. And yes we were not disappointed."

"Slow as hell. More than 35. minutes to make a pizza. Why bother. Sassy owner too EDIT IN RESPONSE TO OWNER REPLY BELOW: See, I told you the guy was sassy. Believe me dude, when you were 40 minutes late with my order, I decided to stop shopping with you ever again. No need to “ban me” from your store. Fraudster."

"Very good food & fun for the kids. I been eating the pizza shoppe for over 20 years I never had anything wrong with my order. The owner is always there every day mixing all the ingredients fresh. It’s the only place I been to that has dessert pizza, kids can make their own pizza, & the only place that has the owner cooking the food him self."

"Food was amazing. Can tell all fresh ingredients. Owner was friendly and informative. Would highly recommend this place for amazing pizza. Don't pass up the chocolate chip pizza!"

"ABSOLUTELY the best specialty pizza around! Had both the cauliflower crust with Mediterranean chicken and eggplant crust w/ tomatoes, spinach & artichoke. Pizzas we're amazing! If you're allergic to wheat crust, this is a great alternative and so delicious! Owner was very nice and helpful .. RECOMMENDED!"
