Great location. My pizzas are always consistent with taste. I would def recommend. Oh! Really can’t beat the prices!
The food was good but there were ancillary issues that kept popping up.
1. No Anchovies
2. Sweet Tea Wasn't ....
3. Ice Machine didn't work
4. Asked for a toothpick- none
Think attention to detail.
Stopped here on our way to New Orleans and was not disappointed in the pizza. Very yummy, wished we had one where I live.
Store was empty when we got there menu is way up high and hard to read. But the guy working was very nice and helped a lot. Pizza was done pretty quick and was very good. We didn't get anything special just reg pizza pepperoni and sausage but it was still very good .
UPDATE 3 days later: I just noticed someone left a positive review the same day I left my review and the owner responded the same day to that person as well as responding the same day to previous ones before that but didn't respond to mine lol. I guess from the reviews I read, the owners only respond to positive reviews and a few of negative ones where they blame the customer, take no accountability, and have sarcastic comments for their valued customer like Cindy, who complained she got sick from the seafood. Never once did Cindy say it was food poisoning and never once did owner apologize for her experience. Being that I actually work at an urgent care, I know there are plenty of reasons why Cindy could have been given an injection related to nausea and pain NOT allergies. So before you copy and paste a Google definition of food allergy or food poisoning, do some extensive research on the topic at hand or just apologize for the experience and keep it moving. I just love supporting small businesses for years like Pizza Artista, where i tip EVERYTIME, just to be intentionally ignored by the owner, the one time I ACTUALLY report a negative experience i had. NEVER AGAIN!!!! NO PHONY RESPONSE NEEDED! LESSON LEARNED! Be careful and mindful of what small businesses you support!
ORIGINAL MESSAGE
Normally I have nothing but good things to say about this place but unfortunately I didn't have a good experience Friday. I ordered the swamp daddy pizza (shrimp, crab, crawfish, tasso, and sausage) which is my favorite. I've been ordering since it was originally priced at $14.99 and have continued to order it even as it's price has increased because it's usually worth it. When I got my pizza there were literally 7 crawfish total on the entire pizza, one crawfish per slice and one slice was lucky to get 2 crawfish as if they were strategically placed that way. I usually order in person and from watching how they measure topping with measuring cup, I could tell this wasn't the case. It looked like the person who made the pizza personally counted each crawfish that was on the pizza. Considering the fact that this particular pizza has gone up in price a couple of times, at the very least I expect to get what I paid for. There was barely any sauce on the pizza which made it very dry. There was absolutely nothing flavorful about the pizza except for the balsamic drizzle that I added. Pizza tasted like the cardboard box it came in. I couldn't believe how bland and dry the pizza was. I forced myself to eat two slices because I was hungry at work and couldn't leave to bring it back. The swamp daddy pizza is my favorite because it usually has a seafood boil taste. I'm not a pizza person but this is the only place I will order pizza from due to thier varieties. Not sure what happened this time but I was very disappointed. :(
Edit:
Changing my review and rating. I've been going here pretty often for years, but I haven't been in a few months for various reasons, not related to the business or service. My wife and I attempted to eat here a little before 4PM on Oct 31st. There were 2 guys making pizzas that appeared to be for a future pickup because there was no one else in the lobby. After we stood waiting for around 7 minutes without even being acknowledged by those 2 guys, we just left. I'm sure the food is still probably good, but not even acknowledging us for that long is not acceptable. No "we'll be with you soon" or anything. They even avoided making eye contact.

Great food and great service.
Terrible customer service at our last visit. We won't be returning. The person at checkout gave us a lot of attitude and lied to us. The pizza, which had previously been very good, also had an off taste like the cheese was going bad.
Went here for the first Time today. Got two different pizzas the Swamp daddy and steak in Mango. I brought it back to share with coworkers every single person loved it they could not believe the mind blowing mouth flavor. I would definitely recommend this place I already have people that are coming into town that will definitely be ordering from there. Good job you guys keep it up. Brad

This is actually my second time here, my sister highly recommended this place to me a few months back so here I am. Again!
The server was exactly what I think any guest
Iâm so glad this place exists. It was so engaging for my 4 year old autistic son. He got to explore lots of toys we donât keep in the house. He loved the huge selection of puzzles. He wasnât interested in the zip line or any of the swings, but
Absolutely incredible food! They make the food from scratch for every order, and are smart business people who know the value of cooking for the numbers they expect. Show up early, because they do turn away folks when they are running out of food and
This is the best service I have had since 2019. Thank you Jordan. Most people are kinda butt heads these days but not you. You didn't even bat an eye at making something right. The food was also amazing! More businesses would succeed with staff like
I recently had the pleasure of working with the maintenance man at my apartment complex and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. From our very first interaction, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

We ordered a family dinner for 6 to eat at a Bible study and the food was delicious and more than enough to feed all the guys there, and some left over. And they were quick! Thanks for the great service and meal.
Very interesting restaurant and a much needed break from the fast food model in the US. Dishes were really varied and all pf them good. Service is super quick and efficient, really enjoyed the drink refills and quality of services. Some dishes were a
Very cool if you like local history. The woman who gave my sister and I our tour was not only knowledgeable but kind and courteous. Highly recommend. Will be going back if I'm around the area again.
Great place to spend some quality family time. It's always clean when we go and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is a little pricey but everything that we have ordered has had good flavor.
Purchased a Cinnamon roll, breakfast burrito, and orange juice. All of it was so good. Customer service was excellent and friendly. And very reasonable pricing. I will be back.
