We came to try it out based on reviews by the barstool sports guys and I am so glad that we did. We sat at the bar…Merry S was our bartender/server. She was friendly and attentive. Great service!! We sat next to some locals who recommended the fig/bacon/fresh mozzarella pizza. Hands down the best crust and most flavorful pizza! Now I am going to try recreate it at home. We also had the original with fresh basil. I’m already ready to go back to New Orleans just for the pizza!

Favorite pizza in NOLA! There are plenty of places closer to our house, but we’d rather go out of our way to get Forbidden. Service is great, slices are huge, and it’s always delicious! Order online so you can skip the line.

I was staying close by. I had a big lunch and needed a quick pick me up. I found this place and it was rated very good. I saw that they had pizza by the slice. I could choose from the many different combinations. But I saw they had Sicilian (square) pizza. I can't turn down a square. I ordered one at the bar. BTW, the bartender was awesome. I got my pizza and it was really good. I was surprised. Fresh tomatoes. Flour from Italy. Fresh cheese. The flavors was very good. I will return on my next trip. Large slices or Sicilians. Good price. Also a great place to meet friends. I recommend.

Amazing pizza and a great price. The sauce has that sweet tang to it. If you have ever had Il Rione in Cleveland, this is basically the same pizza. Idk how Dave rated this one higher than that one, but they are amazing. And this pizza is absolutely the best I had in new Orleans.

This was our first time at Forbidden Pizza, and overall the pizza was really good! We were with two kids, so we got a half pepperoni, half basic pie, and everyone was happy. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual, perfect for grabbing a quick bite. It was pretty packed when we arrived and there’s limited seating inside, so we ended up eating outside—but it worked out just fine. The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful, especially since it was our first visit. We’ll definitely stop by again next time we’re in the city!
