Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

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.

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

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!
(4)Kris B.
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???
(1)Scott C.
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.
(5)Maria K.
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!!
(5)Shawn T.
The staff is awesome and friendly. I remember when this was the first place to open after Katrina in the area and they've taken good care of the customers since! The specials are always good and the beer prices for happy hour are always a good excuse to leave work early, he he! Makes me hungry thinking of the pizza....
(5)Charles H.
AN OIL SLICK OF CHEESE; the pepperoni were virtually floating in what looked to be a pizza-like sauteé 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 Cafe 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.
(2)Jim L.
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 yelpers 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.
(2)John G.
This is the best pizza I have had in Southeast Louisiana. We will travel to New Orleans just to eat here. The restaurant is very clean and the people that work here are very friendly. My wife and I love the Greek Salad and the Bacon & Blue Pizza.
(5)John L. H.
Who goes to a pizza joint and doesn't get pizza? This guy, that's who. When I was invited to eat lunch with some Yelpers a while back, Theo's was the location they suggested. Excited to try a new place, I happily agreed. Despite proclaiming themselves a pizza joint in their name, Theo's also serves up pretty good sandwiches. I was slightly reluctant when I read that the sandwiches are toasted for 15 minutes, but my fear of a burnt sandwich were unfounded. I opted for the pepper jack chicken sandwich. The combination of fajita style chicken and pepper jack cheese on the white hoagie roll was very good. Although it came with chips, the sandwich was more than enough food. I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich, but need to come back and try their pizza. If you're in the area and want a good, casual lunch spot, I encourage you to try Theo's.
(4)Abby L.
This is THE neighborhood pizza place, hands down. Every time I come here, it is very family friendly and everyone seems to know someone. Theo's is a very laid-back restaurant where you come in, order, and then take a seat. The pizza is brought out to you and someone will come and check on you every now and then. Once when I came here during an LSU game, I asked them to put on the Longhorn college football game and they happily did so. It was very nice of them to change one TV. It didn't bother any of the other customers because they had plenty of other TVs to watch LSU on. Besides serving great pizza all around, Theo's also serves great gluten free pizza, which to me is a big deal. You can order any pizza on the 10 inch gluten free crust. I like The Expert pizza the best, so far, but I have so many more to try! I once ordered a salad here and it was very good. I got the sweet olive oil and vinegar. I wasn't a fan of that dressing, but I was able to order a different dressing. I got the Romano cheese dressing and it was very good. I would order it again if I came to Theo's in the mood for salad, but to be honest, I'll probably always come here in the mood for pizza!
(5)Bobby N.
Please return to your prior pizza crust formulation. Cannot recommend "Swamp Thing" or "Spicy Mexican." No individual flavors.
(3)Anne R.
Solid pizza. Friendly staff. This is definitely a go-to neighborhood place. As a vegetarian who sometimes just needs to get out a bit, I'm really glad I have it within a 5-minute walk from my house. If you're looking for NY thin crust, this is not the place. If you're looking for a late-night, grab-a-slab joint, this is not the place. But if you want to ask the staff what "hot tomatoes" means and have them say "I don't know how to explain it. Here, try some!" Or if you want to be handed a table number sign with only a photo of Neil Diamond on it, this is your place.
(5)Jeremy H.
My favorite pizza in the city. The west bank special sounds a little crazy with the toppings but trust me it works. Stuffed breadsticks with jalapenos are delicious as well as the Italian salad. The pizzas have a crispy crust and not too thin. I highly recommend this place. Monday has bottle beer specials, Tuesday has $1.50 draft pints, Wednesday has wine specials.
(5)Emily V.
Yummy pizza. Really perfect. I went at about 5 PM on a Thursday - only a few other folks there at this time. I ordered a custom pizza - pepperoni, sun dried tomatoes, and basil. All of it was great. The service was friendly and accomodating. I like the ambience too here, it's fun to watch Magazine Street shoppers stroll by.
(4)Philip E.
Excellent thin crispy pizza! Highly recommend if this is your preferred style. Staff is courteous and friendly. Were able to make my 'create your own' with great precision! I'll be back!
(5)Carol K.
First visit, excellent service and food! Buffalo chicken pizza great! Salad fresh! Will visit again!!
(5)Beth G.
I went and picked up pizza here, so cannot yet speak to the dine-in experience. It was, however, a cute, funky place, and the servers were extremely patient and helpful as my cousin and I placed a ginormous order for the following day. I tried the cheese pizza and the hippie, which is an assortment of fun vegetables. The crust is thin and chewy, not my favorite style personally, but the toppings were inventive and fresh, and I liked the sauce, which was a good blend of sweetness and spice. The topping-to-cheese ratio is also good, so that you don't feel disgustingly full after just one piece. It's in a very cute area of Magazine Street, and I imagine parking can be difficult at prime times.
(4)Cubb C.
Excellent location, however parking can be problematic. I have experienced dining here twice and I can only rate the cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza, because both times kids were in tow and this is what they like. I found these two simple pizzas were tasty, I think it's the sauce being far above average that makes up for our boring toppings. I would like to point out that both times the staff was extremely friendly and accommodated our requests graciously! Sooner or later, I will try one of their pizzas designed for grown-ups! They look delicious!!
(4)Sonia R.
Good location on Magazine street. Compared to other pizza places in the city (Reginelli's, Slice), I think Theos is the best in the gourmet preparation of their pizzas. Perfect crust that is not too thin or thick. Also, great specialty pizza options. I recommend the Spicy Mexican Chicken.
(4)Lin F.
Grilled cheese sandwich with three types of cheeses, sourdough bread, add tomato & basil for another 1.40$ so delicious! 5* paired with blue moon draft...fruit the beer with orange slices. Sweet spinach salad, dressing was unique in that it was a thicker balsamic (reduced? Or thicker from honey?) cheese was goat!! Much better than feta. Walnuts, cranberry, purple onion combo. 5* Too bad you gotta go to the bar to order dishes, refill drinks, & re-order beer. Self seating, nice wait staff will clear your table when you're finished. Ambience nice, airy, neat brick & pipe plumbing decor.
(4)Travis W.
This months special is the spicy quiche pizza I recommend it!
(4)C S.
Starting frequenting this place a few months ago (needed a break from Midway, and have come to really enjoy it. I personally don't go in for any of the Chicago v.s New York pizza nonsense, seeing as how both of those cities are over a 1000 miles away. To the point, its good, it cosistent, and they have great nightly drink specials to go with.
(4)Ellen Y.
Love it because it's close. We get the Hawaiian and they actually put thick slices of ham on it and its really good. Never had any other pizza from the menu.
(3)Zachary A.
These guys have been in the neighborhood for a few years now, and fit comfortably amongst the mix of other businesses and levels of pizza in the areas. The staff is a pleasant lot, and the store remains clean and uncrowded even when it's the opposite of those things. That said... Here's my issue with this pizza: as an American, and a single male, it is an un-moveable actual to me that leftover slices should be palpable never mind edible the next day or even two moons since. Sliced like a clock and covered in burned cheese and pre-cured meats with all their oils super-heated: time is something that should not phase the desirability of that last crust or two on a hungover morning (or the hours right before the sleep that precedes one.). Theo's pizza is best (read: only good) fresh, minutes from the oven and not hours. For this reason they do not deliver, however the flaky crispy crunchy malleable crust is quite textural when hot. So: yeah, no leftovers means only 3 stars. If you live close, however, its a no-fail option for a last minute meal before 10pm. One more caveat: if you are a cheese snob like myself, skip their parmesan. Use your own. It ain't right.
(3)Gabbin K.
It's good pizza for New Orleans, but average to possibly below average for any true pizza culture city. We ordered a large West Bank Pizza with a large House Salad and some wings. The pizza pie tasted good and was super filling with bacon, chicken, pineapple, red peppers, and jalapenos on it. The wings were rubbery and weird tasting and the salad was literally just chopped romaine lettuce with some black olives and mozarella cheese on top for half the price of a large pizza. I think Theo's should be able to do a much better job with their wings and salads. Really too bad because I live next door. Pizza was really good for New Orleans so I give it a 4 out of 5. Big Plus- They have a vintage Ms. Pacman Machine.
(4)Clark T.
Love their Meathead pizza and also their Arti-garlic...for that matter, there is one on the menu with pineapple and jalepeno's that I get when the kids are not sharing. Good beer selection, good staff, really popular place for the kids. Five stars because there is nothing I could ask of my neighborhood pizza joint that they don't provide...except delivery, but I forgive ;)
(5)Karen S.
If you like thin crust pizza, then this is for you. They do an absolutely amazing job. The Jammer's Original is my favorite, best pizza I've ever had. It's a regular pie topped with canadian bacon, feta, mushroom, onion, and banana peppers. Sandwiches are good, too, though they don't stand apart from the competition as much as the pizzas do. Biggest downside I've experieced is some of the specialty pizzas are pretty out there...buffalo chicken pizza was so salty it was inedible, for example. Would get 5 stars other than that.
(4)Holly G.
I love pizza and this place seemed to get the best reviews out of all the pizza places within walking distance of my house (4 if you count Whole Foods) so I decided to give it a try one night after my friends backed out on some plans. It was pretty damn good - I'm a sucker for thin crust. I got the specialty Cheese Please pizza and it was to die for. I ate the whole thing (it was just a small, thankfully...I could have kept going!). They have wine and beer and other things to eat like gyros, subs, calzones, pasta, and salads. There's one TV that was showing ESPN at the time I was there even though there wasn't a game on so I'm not sure if they just keep it there all the time or what. I'm sure if there's a big game on they'll change it. It is small so I don't think it would be ideal for groups unless the group wasn't more than 6 or so people. Apparently their happy hours are pretty good, but when I went it wasn't happy hour. Just another reason to go back!
(4)Liz W.
Stopped for late lunch and we came here because they were only one of the few open during that time ( between lunch and dinner). I recalled getting some sort of specialty pizza, which was good. Not your regular pizza crust, more thin and crunchy.
(4)Tonia E.
It was about 7 PM, after a long shitty day working hungover without any more than a fry or two to eat and then I realized... I had to have pizza. My friend and I discussed either 2 neighborhood pizza spots; Midcity pizza, which I've had countless times, or Theo's, which neither of us had before. We decided on Theo's because reviews are great and why not try something new? We ordered the Hawaii-five-O for pickup and could smell the delicious aroma of this pizza all the way home I was nearly drooling. We plopped onto the couch, threw open the box, and THERE IT WAS, this pizza that despite it's amazing smells, didn't look that great at all. I grabbed a slice anyway and shoveled it into my mouth, only after a minute or two of actually thinking about this pizza I was eating I realized it wasn't that great either. The crust was too crunchy and flavorless, the ratio of ham to pineapple was outrageous .. Ham:1 pineapple:30 with 4 pieces of ham on it max, and also more sauce than I could bear. I still didn't say anything to my friend since I didn't pay for it, only until once we were done he said, "man, that pizza wasn't that great", which then I very much agreed. But who knows, maybe it was a bad day in the kitchen? I understand, so I'll give it 3 stars. I won't say I'll never eat it again because it wasn't disgusting, it was just no more than mediocre. All I do know is the entire time I was eating this mediocre pizza, I couldn't help but think to myself how badly I wish I was eating Midcity pizza, instead.
(3)Lauren Z.
My favorite gluten free pizza in New Orleans! The staff is always very kind and the pizza is quick. Being from New York, pizza is a very serious thing to me... And Theos has the best gluten free crust I've ever had!
(5)Shannon S.
I love Theo's Pizza!!! This is probably my favorite pizza place around. The thin crispy crust makes me a very happy eater. I enjoy the wide range of interesting combinations they offer. The Eccentric & the Spicy Mexican are two of my favorites but my usual fix is the Hippy with either chicken or meatballs added. I always get a side of their tasty marinara to dip my crust into; although often it isn't needed I still love the sauce and will just drink it! I also really love their ice as it goes so well with their iced tea and I think it might be the best ice in NOLA and I want to find out what kind of machine makes it as I want one. They also have good beer and wine specials. The sandwiches are very tasty but maybe a bit overpriced for their size. The salads have always been very good also. I have heard a few negative reviews from some of my friends about the Canal Street location with their crust not being done properly but I've never had a problem at the Magazine Street location.
(5)Meg A.
ok pizza + good location = might go back might not I have to say that I was disappointed in my experience here. I had high hopes and an empty stomach. I brought my dog because it was a beautiful night and you can sit outside here (+) but there aren't any waiters so you have to go inside to order (-). The pizza was super thin which I'm not a huge fan of and I was surprised their were only three veggie options on the menu. We got the Hippie pizza without the olives and it basically came out covered in banana peppers. It wasn't bad it just wasn't great. And for $24 for a pizza that can feed two I expected better.
(3)Sharece B.
This pizza joint is cool but it makes you forget you're in NOLA. I love this because you're hanging out in a gnarly local joint that the people who live here actually frequent. We ordered the bacon and blue cheese pizza. It went perfectly with beer. Both Abita Amber and Blue Moon are available on tap, providing the ultimate beer and pizza experience. The service was good and the pizza was the best pizza I've ever had. (And I've had pizza in Italy so I know what I'm saying.) I can't wait to come back here on my next visit.
(5)Alicia P.
Loved coming here! Everyone was super friendly and I loved all their options. I didn't leave the restaurant feeling stuffed and bloated like one usually would after eating some pizza.
(5)Cathleya F.
My favorite pizza place in NOLA! The pizza is.. just.. everything I could ever want in a pizza. The thin yummy crust, perfectly melted cheese.. Delicious! I have never ever been disappointed with this place. I can't say much on the dining-in experience because my family usually orders take-out. I mean seriously.. what's better than chilling at home with the fam and eating some freaking good pizza?
(5)George R.
Love this place. They have really good pizzas and some amazing salads. My favorite is the arti-garlic pizza and the super soaked salad...good stuff. The wait staff are very nice and accommodating. Reasonably priced and portions are large. Highly recommend.
(5)Mark K.
Fortunately I live only a few blocks away from Theo's, so it is a regular on my takeout list. The crust at Theo's is the perfect balance between crisp and chewy. While it is certainly thin crust, it is not nearly as thin and hard as many others can be. The toppings are of good quality and taste great. My favorite pizza by far is the Eccentric. Although it can get slightly expensive for some of these speciality pizzas, it is worth it if you can pace yourself and not eat the entire thing in one seating.
(4)Rachel S.
Clean restaurant and friendly service. They have interesting selections of pizza. Greek salad- good big enough for 2 side salads. Pizza- I would have given 4 stars if they used real Italian sausage. The sausage is a pebbly sage/breakfast style sausage. Crust is thin light and crispy. We split a pizza with artichokes garlic, onion and other veg on one half and the other was a meat and veg pizza, our usual standard. If we returned and wanted meat I would either try a chicken variety or pepperoni.
(3)Dionne G.
Really good pizza. Nice crisp crust and perfect amount of sauce!
(4)Diego S.
Good pizzas and they serve beer.
(4)Michael S.
I called in an order and was told they were very busy and the wait time would be 30 minutes. "Ok, no problem." I said. What a mistake. I got there and waited ANOTHER 30 minutes before the food was ready, the portions were very small, and despite how 'busy' they said they were, I saw many empty tables. I went home to enjoy my meager pizza only to discover the bottom of it was burnt. Yuck! What a let down. I will never eat here again in my life!
(1)Jen L.
Yummy Hippie pizza tonight. But what is up with parents bringing their kids to restaurants to let them run amok. Made me want to trip the little angels. Tonight was also $10 bottle of wine night.
(4)Eileen Z.
This is a perfectly middle of the road pizza place. I could take it or leave it. Nothing great here to rave about. it's is good average pizza IMO
(2)Jackie A.
The Expert Pizza is so good! I really like Theo's and I'm bummed that I haven't tried it sooner. It's really really really tasty! The crust is thin and delicious. They also have dollar beers on Monday and Tuesday.
(5)Mark A.
Love the pizza here. It is equivalent to other great spots I've found across the US. The place is clean, staff are friendly, and the food is the star. Skip the chain spots and go for authentic gourmet pizza that tastes great. Another fine Magazine St. restaurant.
(4)Neal B.
Ask them for "C.I." and then eat their delicious pizza with it. Trust me.
(5)M D.
I started coming here when it was still fairly new and I was a lot younger, and now that I live elsewhere I usually try to find some reason to come by whenever I'm home. Been with one or two friends; been with family and their kids; been for take-out. Been when times were good and times were bad: I'll never forget coming here after Katrina, with their limited menu but they were nevertheless open for business, serving on disposable plates with only bottled drinks because the water was unreliable and there was no trash-pickup. They were hopping then and now, back to reusable dishes, they're still hopping. I haven't tried everything on the menu because some never disappoint, and I'll have a hankering, especially for the Jammer's. I've always enjoyed the Eccentric and the Marilyn's. Anything with banana peppers usually works surprisingly well. Most recently I tried the bacon & blue cheese, which was pretty light, in a good way, given that title: fresh bacon, chopped, with fresh spinach and tomato slices, and the blue cheese didn't overpower, just worked well with everything else. As others have noted, the thin crispy crust makes it here. They pull it off with a lot of toppings or just a few. People are picky about their pizza crusts, and I suppose I can respect those elsewhere in our grand country who prefer a thin yet floppy crust, folded up; but after eating nothing but that for a while, I am always begging for some Theo's. If only their pizza traveled as well as King Cakes!
(5)Taylor S.
Salad is fresh and delicious. They have happy hour on select brands of beer. From the website: "Monday: $1 Domestic Longnecks Tuesday: $1 Drafts Wedneday: $10 Wine Night *after 4pm with purchase of food" I think this place has the 2nd best pizza in the city. If you like gourmet pizza and toppings, this is the place for you. My first pizza here was something like artichoke hearts, goat cheese, olives. Delish. Shared it with my mom over a salad and beer and left full and happy. There are always young children and babies in this place. Annoying when they are shrill, running and screaming. Just don't have so many children, people! That way you can look after the ONE you have and make sure s/he behaves him/herself. There's an old school arcade game and TVs on ESPN and other sports channels. It's fun that instead of giving you a number card for your table, they give you a card with a photo of something/one New Orleans-y like The Meters or Drew Brees. Skip the hot wings unless you want hot butt in the mornin' :D
(4)Robert U.
Consistently delicious pizza (try the Jammer's "O"riginial... it's simply fantastic), friendly service, and a decidedly local feel that keeps me coming back for more. Theo's Neighborhood Pizza is a "slice" above the other pizza chains in New Orleans (i.e. Reginelli's or Fresco) and is comparable to favorites such as Slice. However, if you're planning on going anytime during peak hours, know that this place gets crowded very easily and may be filled with nice families and their very loud and complaining children (Major bummer). Moreover, make sure to make it in on a Tuesday for $1 draft night. $1 drafts! Crazy great deal. If you're uptown on Magazine and are in the mood for some delicious pizza, skip Reginellis and make it to Theo's. You won't be disappointed!
(4)Burnell B.
Pizza has great flavor and the thin crust is the best in town. The only drawback is that the small is I can eat a large by myself. Don't think i should be doing that.
(4)O-howilovefood-livia L.
this place is really cute. I wanted to like it. the atmosphere is comfortable, neighborhoody, friendly. it is so close to my house. they give you fun signs after you order to tell the runners which table the food goes to. they have that good crushed ice for your drinks. but.... the service was pleasant although a bit apathetic after you sit given the counter service. most importantly the pizza- this is not pizza. at best it is flatbread. at worst it is a rounded off unsalted saltine cracker. the crust was so un-pizza like that it was somehow able to transform bacon, cheese, tomato & olive oil into something entirely not appealing. bacon and cheese, people. have you heard of the saltine cracker challenge? can't eat 10 in less than a minute? eating this pizza felt like a food challenge that I had been peer pressured to join. we ordered two of their special pizzas. I had to cover each bite in salt, pepper, shaker cheese to tolerate it. I'm sorry theo's. if you were called neighborhood saltines it would have been money.

I randomly stumbled upon this Theo's after most restaurants in the area had been closed for after-lunch hours (it was 3 p.m.) and I was pleasantly surprised. My friend and I ordered The Eccentric, which sounded weird (squash, zucchini), but also intriguing. My only complaint is that when they brought the pizza out they had only cut the pizza in half, not in slices. When I asked the waitress, she was shocked and rushed it back to have it cut properly. Apparently the guy in the back had just received an order and just forgot. They threw in a couple breadsticks as compensation. The pizza itself was flavorful, but my favorite part was the crust. Even my friend, who doesn't normally eat pizza crusts, ate the entire thing. The prices were not too bad and my service was fast...but then again I was eating at a weird time. Overall, however, I would recommend this place.

Mmmmmm... My favorite pizza. Love the thin crust and all the specialty pies. My favorites include the Eccentric, Cheese Please, the Hippie, Arti-Garlic, and most of all Doc's Margarita. Love all the fresh ingredients and $10 bottles of wine on wednesdays are awesome!

Best thin-crust pizza in town. Crispy, but not overly so - fresh ingredients with creative combinations. We did the Westbank (a new pizza with peppers as well as meat) and the Meat-lovers - YUM! Nice selection on beers. The wine list is fairly short, but low-priced and drinkable. Don't expect to have a fancy wine here, but they do have a good selection of $12-24 bottles that are pretty good. We had a $16 bottle of Pinot Noir that complemented the pizza nicely. I also understand that they have $10 bottles on Wednesday. The major downside is the service - its order at the front and find your table. The only "service" is that they bring the pizza to you. If you need anything, you have to ask or get it yourself. If they'd ratchet up the wine list a little and perhaps add table service, I'd change my review to 5 stars.

Two strikes against Theo's. Not sure they will get a chance for their third strike. We were craving good pizza and discovered our favorite place, Rockys, had closed down...sigh. So off to Theo's we go. Menu was OK, not great, but we decided to try the supreme, typically a safe bet. After 20 minutes of observing the staff stuff their face with potato chips, open mouth crunching and smacking included and do much of nothing, we asked about the status of our order. To which the response was...."it has only been 20 minutes, it takes at least 30 minutes to cook a pizza". 30 minutes, now I am expecting an exceptional pizza! Overall staff seemed as if they could care less. If you know it takes 30 mins...suggest we might want a beer while we wait! We get the pizza, come home and dig in. Let's just say, next time I will order pappa johns or dominos before I go back to Theo's. Nice thin crust, but absolutely no flavor what so ever and double what I would pay at either of the other places.

Maybe my expectations of pizza are really high but I'm not sure why they have such a high rating. Went for Pizza Wars (a local pizza contest that has 10 participating restaurants) and was excited as I always pass in en route to the Irish channel. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. Their service was great but we tried a few pizzas in our group and none particularly stood out as impressive or above par. I couldn't place why but nothing was extraordinary; just a good ol' regular pizza.

Good pizza. Check for beer specials. The bread sticks aren't worth $4.

Was THRILLED to see they have a Veganator pizza!! Also was ecstatic about the gluten free crust and pesto but staff could not tell me if either was vegan. I asked if they had vegan cheez or sausage but none to my dismay :( they really ought to check out "daiya" cheez and they'll be the most crankin pizza joint in town! So you're almost there Theo's. A for effort but maybe consult with some vegans in town for an even more bang up job yo! Thnx for introducing the Veganator though fa sure! Loved the HUGE amount of veggie toppings we got on the Veganator too!

Been twice to this location. Once in Mid City. Everything is good about this place except for the pizza. Domenica is much better. Reginelli's is better. Pizza Delicious is better. Italian pie is even better, etc, etc. Fun hangout, mediocre to crummy pizza. This place and Louisiana Pizza kitchen are very over rated.

I would like to meet Theo and thank him, for running an excellent pizzaria and only block from my apartment! Pizza is fresh and delicious with many excellent combos. Service is fast, never more then 20 minutes for pick up in my several experience. And on top of all that there are a handful of drink special which I am not sure what they are. The only other place I have been which I enjoyed nearly as much was Slice on St. Charles. Finally some good pizza is taking over New Orleans and if you are going to say reginelli's, LA pizza kitchen, Italian Pie, or any of the other major chains are better I personally will challenge you to a pizza dual! 10 paces and then you will feel my wrath...

Theos is such a homey pizza place. They're speciality pizzas are terrific. They're house salad and Rebos Super Soaked (double dunked - you will thank me I promise) are dreamworthy. New Orleans isn't an "outstanding salads" kinda place. This place is also right around the corner from our house so we wind up goin there when we get behind and need to unwind without a lot of time. The staff have always been unusually nice. Crowded or empty, its always a great place to go.

I am fairly knowledgeable in Pizza - i have eaten it at most New York hot spots - i make a pretty mean pizza myself. I am from Los Angeles and know the good, bad and great pizza that city has to offer as well. So when I moved to NOLA I was determined to find a great spot in the city for a pie.... I look for a few things. 1)Fresh Ingredients (IE buffalo mozzarella that is creamy and made that morning, kalamata olives, fresh cut pepperoni, tomatoes picked fresh off the plant etc) 2) thin, crispy crust 3)Sauce the goes to the ends of the entire pie 4)Red sauce that is not overwhelming yet adds that extra yummyness to the pie. 5)A pie where all the factors create a spectacular pie and one part does not overpower the other parts. So I have tried the local spots, Reginellis, Slice, Rocky's etc - still not satisfied and looking - My Roomie and I decided to try THEO'S as I have read many positive reviews and was anxious to finally fill my pizza void. The place is small and quaint. No wait staff - so we got in the "line" and ordered two Abita Amber's and The Arti-Garlic pie. The person at the register looked bored and annoyed. She did not instruct us to take a number, or that she would bring us our drinks.... she just looked at us and glared. My roomie FINALLY asked if she was getting our beers and if we picked the pie up at the counter. She said we needed to take a number and sit and it would all be brought to us. OK! We sat and patiently waited for this hyped up pie.... the gal at the counter switched personalities and was now super sweet... She brought us the Arti-Garlic and even gushed how she wanted to sit down and have a slice. First bite was off putting - So much artichoke flavor - in fact that is all I could taste - I continued to eat it started removing the artichoke pieces. It wasn't horrible but it was not what it was made out to be... First off I think it needs red sauce - the olive oil and garlic seemed absent. I could not eat more then one slice as it wasn't tasty. I will try them again but I will make sure I try a pizza with red sauce. I just won't be rushing over there...

Walking along Magazine street on a really got day and we suddenly got starving. We walked in here, checked out the menu, saw customizable options and said YES. I ordered a customized sandwich with veggies and it was excellent. Great music. Sweet waitress. Affordable. Good for a quick yummy bite.

Theo's hits THE spot. inventive, delicious pizzas. Quality beers. Down-to-Earth staff. I hear the owners are originally Little Rockers, so added points in my book for that.

Theo's is my favorite pizza place in New Orleans. It beats Reginelli's, Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, New York Pizza, Rocky's, and Slice in my opinion. Slice would be a close second, but Theo's has a slight edge. Cold Blue Moon, Abita Amber, Mich Ultra, and NOLA brown on tap and $1 pint nights on Tuesday. The ingredients are very fresh. The pizza is always consistently prepared and cooked. The cheese is perfectly well browned on top and the crust is perfectly crispy, but not overcooked. The salads are great and you can't beat the baked club sandwich. We love the cheesy bread sticks as an appetizer. The service is very friendly. They even have a vintage Galaga/Ms. Pac Man video game to keep the kids entertained.

The pizza at Theo's is some of the best in the city, and I recently had an excellent customer service experience there, too. An evening during Jazz Fest, my partner and I rolled in and ordered cheesy bread sticks (delicious, by the way) and a pizza, plus some sodas. The menu warns that it can take a half an hour for them to prepare your pizza, and the place was hopping so we settled in for a wait. It was still within 30 minutes of ordering (around the 20 minute mark), but we noticed that a party that had ordered after us got its food, while we were still foodless. I headed up to the counter to make sure they hadn't lost our order, and was greeted by the manager. He explained that our pizza and bread sticks had accidentally burned, and were almost done being re-prepared. He was extremely apologetic, and insisted, without any prompting, on comping our entire meal. Plus, he comped us a second round of drinks, again without us asking or hinting. Even though they were extremely busy, and even though they had to make our meal twice, we still received the pizza and bread sticks within the 30 minute window. This ranks among the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Also, as I mentioned, the pizza is excellent. We recently moved to the neighborhood, and we will definitely return.

I pretty much have to regularly get my fix of 'The Expert' pizza - olive oil, minced garlic, spinach, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, purple onion and crumbled BACON (emphasis added). I appreciate that they aren't chintzy with the toppings. Also, service is friendly and they don't rush you out at closing time (GREATLY appreciated). For the most part, the pizza is consistently made, but I went at least once when it was different and not as good - mandatory points off for lack of consistency. I do the $10 wine night every now and then and the wines are hit or miss - worth the gamble for the price though.

Best pizza in town!!! I love the Magazine Street location (and the Mid-City location too)!! It is in a awesome stretch of Magazine Street. Their pizza is awesome and they have GREAT lunch specials.
(5)Bennett L.
Pizza was yummy, had the margarita and it was good, done with lots of fresh tomatos, basil and cheese. The draft beer was good and cold, brooklyn lager was good but it would have been really nice to have a Nola beer available. The only thing i did not like were the wings, after we ordered i began to wonder if a pizza joint like Theo's has a deep fryer. alas they do not and the wings were apparently baked, not the best way to fix 'em.

Great thin crust pizza. I highly recommend the Jammers Original pizza
(5)Daniel G.
Theos makes a decent pizza pie but not great. They are an average pizza place in a market void of great pizza.

Good sandwiches here: a little too big for a regular appetite. The chicken and pepper sandwich was good, as was the veggie sandwich. Pickle and chips round off the offerings, which we skipped since the sandwiches were filling. Pizzas looked good, but we did not try them. And no, nothing cajun about this place, just a nice spot for a quick meal in a nice walking area with pleasant shops.
(3)Erin G.
The pizza is just okay. The crust is thin and dry, the sauce seems to be just tomatos, not much seasoning or originality in the toppings. It is certainly edible, but I think Reginelli's or Slice offer far superior pizza. What has earned Theo's 3 stars for me are the yummy salads and other extras. The Soaked Salad and the Sweet Spinach Salad are both really yummy and a nice size. The cheesy garlic bread, for some reason, is really really tasty. They are like little bread pillows with garlic butter and a blob of melted mozzarella on top, and I love them. Service is fast and friendly, nice little outside seating area on Magazine Street, and of course pellet ice in the fountain drinks, and drink specials. If the pizza were better here, I would go all the time.

We got the Meathead pizza. No joke, it has a lot of meat on it. It's good pizza. The best? Probably not, but it is good. Can't go wrong there.

I've loved this place ever since it opened before Katrina. It had become one of my favorite regular places to go, and I was super excited to revisit it since I moved back home this month. The food (the pizza in particular) is still as fantastic as I remember - flavorful, crispy, and just greasy enough to give you that satisfied pizza feeling. The cooks definitely know what they're doing! The service, unfortunately, has been a different story. The sullen register workers behind the counter where you place your order leave a lot to be desired. On my most recent visit (just picking up a to-go order of one pizza) the dour blond girl on duty practically threw my pizza at me, and when I opened the box in the car to double-check the toppings, the pieces had disconnected and lay all strewn about - not exactly appetizing. I guess my $2 tip for the 30-second, $14 transaction wasn't enough. Don't get me wrong, I've been working in restaurants for years now and I've definitely had moments of providing less than stellar customer service. But they were always preceded by some ridiculous behavior on the part of the patron, not by anything like the friendly smile and patient attitude I always offer fellow restaurant workers. But I'll still be back. The delicious smell and taste of the pizza was enough to make up for the unfriendly attitude this time, and probably will be enough to make up for it in the future. I just wish it didn't have to.

Good sandwiches. The pizza was good but a little over-priced.

I wish I could order but I did not receive my pizza. After waiting 30 min

Went for lunch and had a great time. The section of pizza was impressive and not expensive. The crust was crispy and thicker than a true thin-crust. The sando's seemed on the smallish side. Stick with the pizza you you'll be happy. There is a 30 min wait on pizza orders because everything is done fresh but the small wait was worth it. Theo's does a great job on pizza, this is a place that needs to be on your short list of places to go.
(4)Courtie D.
Good pizza. Great $10 bottle of wine special during the week. A little slow but worth the wait. If you get there at the wrong time you might find yourself without a table too, so get there early.
(4)Lisa W.
The spinach salad with walnuts and raspberry dressing is to die for and I've loved every pizza I've tried. It's consistently great at either this location or the new one.
(4)Kirsten D.
Very good neighborhood place. The crust is especially good, flaky and crispy. Placing your order at the counter instead of having a server take your order at the table was a practice they instituted immediately following Katrina - out of necessity - and it works. They always seem to have a nice crowd when I'm there.
(5)Heidi T.
The thin crust pizza, greek salad and placing your own order are three great reasons to eat at Theo's.
(4)Richard B.
We love Theo's Pizza. Although they are a little pricey they are the best pizza in the city. The extra cost is definately worth it. The food is always perfect and the staff is always friendly and helpful. They also have the best ice. Both locations are excellent.
