Mid City Pizza

Great pizza. Really, but the unfriendly treatment I received from the staff really soured everything.

Mid City Pizza
Your pizza so delicious
But service so slow.
There, I have said it all in a Haiku.
The pizza here is y far one of the best in the city.
Crust so thin you can almost see your plate through it.
Toppings so beautifully placed, you almost don’t want to eat it for fear of disrupting them.
But, the service here is slow, soooo slow.
But if that is the only beef with this NOLA pizza joint, then so be it.
If you have time to spare, and are looking for pizza so delish. Come here.
That is it.
See you around.
You friendly neighborhood Unilocaler Jim.

Delicious thin, crunchy crust with fresh local toppings & great customer service! Couldn’t be happier to have them in the neighborhood for delivery or for dining in w friends! Great atmosphere & local beer selection! Thanks, Mid City Pizza!

Wow what a find!
I recently moved to MidCity and my Darling and I had that pizzay desire that overcomes and overwhelms any person late at night. We were so lucky to find this neighborhood establishment.
While the inside was warm and friendly our reception was lukewarm. This may be due to the hour or the fact that we were strangers in a new land.
I am willing to overlook and even make excuses for this due to how good the pizza was! I ordered the T bird special which was one of a kind. I had never tried a pizza featuring asparagus, and I honestly was about to dismiss the idea as an attempt to stand apart from other places-​but was amazed at the depth of flavor and great texture it brought to the party. My Darling dined on the Margarita which was top shelf to say the least. The basil and cheese rang true and it was just a great pie.
The dinning experience was one I know I will repeat and I am so proud to be part of this community that can boost such a thoughtful and tasty establishment.
Pizza Post Script–
For the promotion of variety’s sake we both ordered 10in pizzas and found them more than adequate for a personal pizza, even had left over a breakfast slice or two.

I’m really glad this pizza joint has been able to grow into its own space across the street from Banks St. Bar where I first enjoyed it during Spaghetti Western night. My first visit to the new location was on a slow Sunday night. We ordered a Caesar and a Margherita, and sat outside with friends when the weather was still pleasant. The Caesar came out immediately, and was a really great serving size for the $ 6.50 price tag. Definitely shareable for up to three people IMO, but I pretty much ate it all by myself… I also enjoyed a bit of my friend’s caprese salad ($ 6.99) that was also a nice shareable size for the four of us at the table.
By no means am I a pizza aficionado, but as you can tell from the pictures their pizza is New York-​style. The toppings were evenly distributed with a good bit of shredded fresh basil, tomatoes and nicely melted chunks of buffalo mozzarella. The toppings held fast to the thin dough underneath, and the crust, while thin, is pleasantly crispy and will disappear from your plate as you finish what you started with each slice. A friend said they brush it with 7up or Sprite? Wives Tale? You tell me.
I’ve noticed on social media, they have a pretty serious slice of the day game between Monday and Friday, so I’m thinking I need to get on that!

Big pizzas and fresh ingredients. Good stuff all round. It is a nice place to get a drink and a pie.

Mid City pizza is the bomb. Always my go to pizza place. A little more expensive than the main chains, but you get what you pay for: fresh ingredients, good service, and overall amazing pizza. After falling in love with Mid City pizza all other pizzas pale in comparison.
Favorites: BBQ chicken pizza and Margherita with chicken pizza
What can I say? I like a good chicken pizza. Oh did I mention it’s right across from Banks Street Bar, so you can get wasted with your friends, order a pie for pickup, bring it back to the bar and become a hero.

This is still my favorite pizza in New Orleans! I love that they now offer dine in because I moved to Broadmoor, and they don’t deliver in that area. I only eat cheese pizza (and it’s delicious!), but my husband has tried several variations. He really likes their Hawaiian pizza. It’s also nice that you can pick your toppings and build your own.
Previous review on old page: I really, really love this pizza! It’s not too greasy, and the sauce is delicious. The crust is kind of thin and the perfect crunchy. Their workers are super friendly, and their delivery time is usually pretty short.

Best pizza in midcity hands down, particularly the herbivore and meat monster (ironic, no?). Their new location includes a bar so if you’re eating in or picking up you can grab a cold one.
They also deliver very late which is a huge added plus when you’re feeling lazy or can’t safely drive. I’ve had some great pizzas in the city and this (can’t vouch for the rest of the menu) holds its own, especially being conveniently located in midcity.
5 stars? Close. Regardless, this is our go to pizza spot in the area.

5 stars alone on their mozzarella sticks. Big fluffy mounds of cheesy goodness covered by this crust that is practically indestructible (in a good way)! No matter how many dips into that homemade marinara sauce, the mozzarella stick remained intact and bread covered. Wonderful cold. Indescribably heavenly when hot.
Last night, we also ordered the Fire Bird. Sauce definitely had sriracha because the heat was not coming from that spicy sausage. Heat level of 3 ½ out of 5 when cold. But it was still a very tasty pizza.
So overall 4 out of 5 for their delivery. Star taken off because they quoted us a 45 – 60 minute quote time. Food took about 45 minutes but was ice cold by the time it got to me (normally a 7 – 8 minute drive from the place). So I would suggest dine in if you still want the stuff hot. If not, you’re still getting decent pizza delivered to you.

The name is straight to the point and so is the menu and atmosphere. You order at the counter and wait for your food at the table.
The menu consists of pizza and a few other things like caesar salad and fried cheese sticks. You definitely have options when it comes to your toppings but I was with a boring pepperoni pizza eater so I cant tell you about those. The pizza is traditional New York style with the right amount of everything, sauce, cheese, crust, etc.
I say they rank right up there with the best.

Best Pizza option in mid city. Fresh ingredients, great dough, plus they stay open later than most other food options in mid city. And now at their new (and much nicer location) they serve beer, wine and liquor til midnight!
** be sure to ask about the seasonal specialty pizzas like red beans and rice, and boudin.

PROS:
Nice Mid City location.
Great covered wooden deck for eating outdoors.
Cute indoor atmosphere.
Super friendly staff.
Quality ingredients.
Crisp crust.
Great selection.
Good prices.
CONS:
I got spoiled by being able to order individual slices when they were next to Banks Street Bar. They no longer offer that. Bring it back please!
Mid City Pizza is my favorite pizza in New Orleans!

great location + good prices = Ill come back to try their pizza!
Came here for the first time yesterday and loved the location. Indoor and outdoor seating. A little confusing as you order at the bar. Good Bloody Mary and their waffle fries were amazing! I wasn’t overly impressed with their cheese pizza or their caprese salad but Ill come back to try another pizza. Overall i liked it a lot and can’t wait to eat one of their margarita pizzas outdoors!

I’ve eaten in and had delivery from here. Dining in we got a Hawaiian with pepperoni instead of spam and it was freakin great. Like, real real good. Any who, after that I got delivery and ordered some cheese sticks and a calzone. The cheese sticks were large and delicious, but cheese sticks so… Yeah. My calzone was the largest calzone I’ve ever seen. It took me 3 days to finish it. It was really delicious, a little skimpy on the cheese, so next time I will order one with extra, but otherwise I definitely recommend it.

As I stepped into my car, I set the directions onto this place seeing as I was craving something cheesy. I definitely wasn’t disappointed, the calzone was definitely cheesy. The ham was delicious, and the toppings ranged from mushrooms, artichokes, and more!
The calzone wasn’t too bad, it was pretty fresh actually. You could see them rolling the dough and putting the toppings on top. The employees are really nice, and the atmosphere on the inside is pretty relaxing. Now that it’s seventy degrees outside in New Orleans, the A/​C felt amazing! Overall, the food was pretty good for a first time.

Really loved the place! Casual with an open feeling. Loved seeing the neighborhood visitors coming in and visiting, it made me want to move into the neighborhood!
Cashier could have been more helpful. Though, love the team approach the staff shows. Food was great and fresh!!! Way better in taste and price than most midcity places.
So, today was a new experience at midcity and both cashiers were delightful! Love their sauce… I bet with that sauce and cheese blend you’d make a killer eggplant parmessean!

BLUF: One of the better pizzas in the city. Hand tossed, good toppings, good atmosphere and location.
Went there around 7pm on a Friday and not crowded which was surprizing. This place used to be across the street as Lazarros pizza. This location used to be Crescent City Sausage and Pie (or something like that). I am glad it is now Mid City Pizza cuz now I can spell it.
Good location, I love this area of mid-​city. The actual shop is nice. Walk in and order at the bar. Couple beers on tap but standard.
The pizza is pretty dang good. Crispy hand tossed but not too crispy. Good toppings. We prefer to build our own pizzas; kalamata olives, mushrooms and pepperoni. Great. We got a large and finished it. (1 guy 1 girl)
Great staff. Very nice and helpful

Best pizza in Mid City?
Without a doubt. It’s the closest thing to a legit New York City — style pizza in regards to slice size and the crispy, thin crust. I’ve had their cheese, pepperoni and supreme styles, all superb. As a real pizza slice should function, you’re gonna have to fold this baby in half to get er’ done. All of the ingredients are fresh and it definitely shows when you bite in.
Sporting a new location, Mid City Pizza has taken over where Crescent Pie & Sausage Co. used to be. If you’ve been to Mid City Pizza before and unfamiliar as to where C.P.S. was, it’s directly across the street on the corner of Banks & S. Alexander.
I’ve yet to visit since they’ve moved to the new location, but nothing has changed in the quality of the food. Still, you can expect to wait a solid 40 minutes for delivery, but they’re usually busy and for good reason.

Great taste. Sauce is easy on the tastebuds & lotsa different toppings. A little greasy, but big slices! Kinda like flat bread pizza. A lot like beach pizza. Fairly good prices. They moved into the old Sausage & Pie, not a lot changed. Great location!
Not a great bar selection, but they have the staples. Order & pay at the bar.
