Meh. I decided to try this place because I always pass it. I got a medium pepperoni pizza because I couldn't justify spending the $14+ (plus carryout charge) for a large 1-topping. The one I did get was still $10.55. While I don't mind waiting 20 minutes for food, it would have been nice if there were 'some' form of entertainment in there - a radio, a tv, or even just some nice pictures on the wall to look at. The waitress wasn't all that nice, although she wasn't directly rude.

Finally get my pizza and bring it home. It was good, but far from 'the best' I've ever had. Also, for the price I found it to be rather small - especially considering that the crust was thin.

Overall, I think that this place could redeem itself if it would put some entertainment up, bring the prices down, and hire some friendly wait staff. The pizza was good, don't get me wrong, but I can't see myself spending $11 there again to get another one. There's better places to try.

Good Old School Family Owned Italian Joint. Tower of pizza is a great place to get pizza for take out. Great sauce, a legitimate New York type of pizza in the middle of Greater New Orleans. This is not to say that the restaurant is not an ok place to eat, but it is more like eating at an old time pizza kitchen in the Bronx. It's a bit cramped and warm, but I don't mind it. I always say that it reminds me of eating in my grandmother's rec room.

If you are a one of those transplants from the northeast, you could be that type of pizza snob that so many of you are... or you can appreciate the differences in pizza from one place to another.

Being a carpetbagger myself, I suggest others just take it down a notch and appreciate where you are. This is the big easy, not Long Island. If you cannot enjoy pizza from any place other than where you came from, then the problem is with you not the pizza places in NOLA.

Tower of Turd. I'm a transplant from Philadelphia and have been searching for good pizza here for years. I'm not one of those pizza snobs always trying to compare pizza to back home. But I do like a good pie. Sorry guys, you have fabulous food here in general but the pizza in this town flat out sucks. New Orleanians wouldn't know good pizza if one walked up to you in the middle of an empty football field and slapped you saying "Hi, I'm good pizza". I got tired of Slice/New York Pizza and went to this dump on a recommendation from a local friend who raved about it. I can ignore the dumpy setting, no big deal. I can ignore the fact they didn't bothering sticking even an AM radio in there for some kind of background noise. I've stopped even trying to expect good service in this town so we won't discuss the crap waitress we had. We ordered the salad, it was a freaking pile of iceburg lettuce with vegetable oil slathered on it and a mist of vinegar. Really??? Okay, perhaps the 45 minute wait for the supreme pizza would yield better results. What garbage!!! Sauce and crust utterly devoid of any flavor. My girlfriend and I ate our pizza utterly pissed at this crap you guys say is the best pizza in town! HAH! The box from a Red Barron pizza would have tasted better than that nasty thing I ate. And when the way overpriced check arrived I thought to myself, you could of at least kissed me first. You folks need to just make a nice Gumbo and call it a pizza. This place gets 2 thumbs down and a middle finger!

wonderful pizza. Placed take out order. The wait was not long but I have to agree with previous comments, the wait staff is not friendly at all - I'm sure their tips will hurt.
