Forbidden Pizza

This place is legit. It's up there amongst the best pizza in the city. Apparently I was in the right spot at the right time heading to a Saints game and passed this place. It was their grand opening and they were giving away free pizza and ice cream. Bing Bang Boom!And for the female Yelp reviewer who rated this place only a 1 star review but gave Papa John's a 5 star review, please lay off the illegal narcotics.

From a New Yorker, the claim of Forbidden pizza being from Brooklyn is a far cry. What makes it NY style is that one can order it by the slice and not by a whole pie. We ordered on a Sunday evening and had hour wait...that's normal time since the wait up in Jersey/NY is about 45 mins to an hour for a pie. We ordered the Four Play (four cheeses): had sauce and tasty ingredients but for a 4 cheeser, it was lacking cheese - it's more like a 3 play...or a sad hand job. Garden of Eatin' was lacking cheese as well- pizza slice was super thin, although the taste was very good. My husband came in and sat down, looked and the first words out of his mouth was, "where's the cheese?" Forbidden pizza has fresh ingredients, but lacking the ingredients for the 20" pie they boast about. NOT NY STYLE PIZZA. Way too thin, no dripping of the oil as you fold the slice in half, and not enough cheese. Forbidden Pizza is forbidden in my household. We went to Zees after dropping $96 on two pies and truffle dough bites (no truffle taste). Zee's Pizza uptown boast Jersey/NY style pizza and it's true!!Freaking Delicious!!

Tiny, clean and new space. Four stools to dine in so really more of a to-go place. No beer or wine. Limited canned soft drinks.If you like thin crust pizza, then you'll like their pie. Big slices or whole pie options. My favorite was the Forbidden Fruit with that honey

We ordered the fig, honey and prosciutto pizza. It was crispy. Too crispy. Like it tasted like a cracker not a pizza level of crispy. I wanted desperately to love this but I just didn't. I'd prefer St. Pizza for a more authentic NY style slice of pizza.

This pizza slaps! They notch up the experience with fresh basil and they grate parm right over it! The options were great, service phenomenal, and a full on pizza shop vibe. Love it, I'll be back! Also, reminds me of my Jersey shore summer boardwalk days!

TWENTY INCH PIES. And slices, but TWENTY INCH PIES! It's been open a short while, but already they're top 3 pizza in New Orleans. Pizza Delicious, St. Pizza, and now Forbidden Pizza, have really brought NYC style pizza to the Crescent CIty. You will have to decide for yourself how the top 3 stack up. Quality ingredients are abundantly clear, and you'd swear that it was coal fired, just like the legendary classic joints in New York CIty. This is a thin style pizza, if you like Detroit, this isn't your place, and that's ok. This is unapologetically NEW YORK style pizza, made by people that LOVE New York Style pizza, for people that love eating New York style pizza. Had a split order, pepperoni, and basil, and I can't tell which I liked better. The basil was obviously fresh, and it was so tasty. The pepperoni was the right amount, and the flavor kicked! I'm so happy this place opened, and for those folks in New Orleans, we've got another great choice for good pizza!

Got to go here while visiting over the weekend just after Dave Portnoys review! HOLY MOLY! Let me tell you, Dave's 8.3 made a line out the door! I'd go and say easily one of the BEST PIZZAS I've ever had in my life! Well done!

Walk by this place while visiting and noticed a line. Looked it up and saw that David Portnoy had reviewed it and given it a high score. Being a pizza connoisseur myself decided to try it. Was only going to get a cheese slice but decided to try a pepperoni slice as well. Glad I did because the cheese slice although good was not quite as good as I expected. My main complaint was it lacked sufficient cheese on it. Hard to tell from the picture but I tasted far more tomato sauce than cheese. I felt like I was eating a tomato pie not a traditional cheese slice. Crust was pretty good but I found it to be denser than expected for a very thin crust. I'd give the cheese slice a 6.5. The pepperoni slice fared far better, as they use pepperoni cups which usually are super greasy but for some reason theirs was not as greasy as most places. Very good pepperoni with a nice spice to it. I'd rate the pepperoni slice a 8.1.

Pizza crust was . I ordered the Forbidden fruit with fig, pepperoni and hot honey. I put an order online and skipped the line! It's a pretty small spot, but theyre opening a bar and additional tables soon!

Food was delicious! Great owner and customer service as well would fly back just for it!
