Editorial Review for Louisiana Pizza Kitchen – by Maura York
The Scene
Wrapping a corner near the French Market, this LPK feels hip but welcoming. Consignment art and bottles of herbed olive oil brighten the dark interior. French Quarter residents and the occasional tourist crowd the dining room, though the atmosphere remains surprisingly low-key.
The Food
LPK was one of the first in town to serve a gourmet departure from the pepperoni-and-cheese standby. Nearly two-dozen wood-fired variations feature choice vegetables, cheeses, meats and seafood--most are vegetarian friendly. The roasted garlic pizza is an unparalleled combination of mild spinach, sweet sun-dried tomatoes, zesty garlic, and feta and mozzarella cheeses. Pasta dishes here are hit-or-miss, but the house-made Caesar salad is deservingly legendary. Other standouts on the dominantly Italian menu include the wild mushroom ravioli appetizer (the chili garlic mayo is the key), the classic calzone and the pepperoni pita wrap.

We stumbled across this place on our recent visit to New Orleans. In a town where nearly every service industry worker seemed to not care if we ever came back. Louisiana Pizza Kitchen was a welcome exception. The staff was friendly and attentive, even on a busy night, and the food was excellent. Even a request to order slightly off the menu was met perfectly and with no fuss or extra expense. Our group had the pocket bread appetizer, the Salad of the Day, a Pepperoni Bacon pizza and a pasta dish, and Bananas Foster ice cream cake for dessert - the dessert was the smartest thing we did all week! If you are expecting Domino's, don't go here - you'll be disappointed. But if you want real wood-fired flatbread pizza in a comfortable, interesting environment, take the streetcar to the end of the Market, and sit yourself down in the Kitchen. You won't be disappointed!

...its cheese & crackers. that is, their "pizza" is more like a flat bread appetizer -- an extremely thin layer of crusty, cracker-like dough, w/ limited cheese on top and then the gourmet toppings. its good, but it doesnt fulfill my need for pizza. the wine is pretty pricey, and smally portioned. for $10 a glass i would expect more volume. the "award-winning" ceasar salad is pretty standard fare, nothing too special. the space is cool. and the grilled shrimp app is *very* good.
Pros: some good apps, interesting pizzas
Cons: pricey wine; pizza not exactly filling
