Ancora Pizzeria & Salumeria

Excellent food and service. This was our second visit to Ancora and will surely not be my last. My wife and I had the Calabrian sausage reponata and house salad contorini (starters). Sausage made in-house was spicy and tasty. Salad was well dressed, fresh, and dressing was tangy. We also shared the Bianca (white pizza). Excellent crust, good chew, toppings made it salty and occasionally sweet. What a wonderful contrast!On our precious visit we thoroughly enjoyed the meatball appetizer (scrumptious!) and a pizza special. I don't recall what it was, only that we both enjoyed it. The pizzas are small, so you can share some of their great appetizers and the pizza. The dining g room is spacious and high ceiling, but can be a bit noisy due to the hard surfaces. I highly recommend Ancora. I can't wait to go back and try their crab gnocchi!

Ancora has the most amazing Neapolitan pizza- as good as you'll find in Italy. Super fresh and perfectly chewy crust. The service at the bar recently was pleasant and very attentive. I had the margherita with chili oil added which I highly recommend! Still thinking about it. Great wine by the glass selection too.

I've had Neapolitan pizza before while visiting family in Naples, Italy. Ancora is very close! The staff were friendly and helpful. The meat board appetizer was plenty for four people to enjoy. It includes Italian meats of the day - like salami, e.g., and a small pot of marinated olives and some kind of vegetable. We had a Quattro formaggi pizza and a supreme pizza. Also, the house salad was delicious with strawberries, cucumbers and marinated red onions. It's a full-size salad that we all shared. The location is near a parking lot on Freret. Very convenient. It's located inside an older building so it's rustic. Not fancy. Decent prices, though. Would definitely go back.

Cozy atmosphere. Nice staff. Pizza was really good just not great. My favorite was the Enzo Diavola, followed by the Quattro Formaggi and then the Funghi. Not of vast drink menu but enough beer and wine choices to satisfy most folks.

If you want true and authentic Neapolitan Pizza in this city then Ancora is THE place to go. Absolutely spot on perfect "real" pizza done in an authentic way - The Diavola (with Italian sausage added ) is amazing and the Margherita is the prototypical DOP (IYKYK) style of Naples - 5 Stars PLUS

Amazing pizza and great service! Recommend trying the Bianca, though the other options are also nice. I think they also let you purchase dough to go, but not 100% if they still offer that.

Experience overall was wonderful, we were able to be seated fairly quickly and had very attentive service- the cocktails were wonderful, highly recommend the specials on the blackboard! The appetizers and pizza were flavorful but did not leave you feeling heavy- the only regret was we did come hungry so we should have got a pizza each versus splitting one! The Diavola was a wonderful option if you enjoy a balanced kick in your pizza! Not pictured but would highly recommend the strawberry shortcake when available- it is not a traditional strawberry shortcake but such a showstopper to close the meal!

This has to be some of the best pizza in New Orleans!! Amazing but concise wine list, fun specials and the most amazing Neopoletana style pizza we've had so far in town. The cutest posters (all old school Amaro and Campari ads, classic) with a lovely classic pizza oven make you feel welcome but also you can't help but keep looking around for the charm! Crust on the pizza is amazing with quality ingredients. Service from Heather was impeccable as well. So lucky to have gotten to enjoy a late lunch/happy hour here. We will definitely be back :)

The service was very good. The food was okay. We started with the meatballs and an order of the gnocchi. Both were very tasty. There were 4 of us so we ordered 4 different pizzas. All 4 were just okay. We may go back.

Probably my favorite pizza in Nola! The service was amazing. It's very clear that the staff have passion and care for each item on the menu. I went crazy choosing the basil italian soda but wow was it delicious. They feature lots of specials on the chalkboard and I can't remember what the bruschetta was called but they may not have anymore. Need to go back stat! The majority of their customers are repeat locals which speaks to their humble & friendly atmosphere.
