Food - 10/10 always GREAT. I've come here almost 10 times now and haven't tasted one thing that was off. Service - 10/10. Wait staff is very down to earth and helpful with recommendations. Only complaint is that the tables are a little small for the size of the pizzas you order. Love the area where this place is located. Literally our fav local pizza spot!

This review is for take out only... I wanted to love this place because it's in my neighborhood but it was a huge disappointment and I do not recommend Arancini - no flavor no seasoning and the marinara sauce "dip" tasted like just tomatoes only plus is that it was fried well Meatballs - one giant bite and instantly regretted it! Smell and texture of cat food!We ordered 2 pizzas and while both looked visually appetizing unfortunately they were soggy on the bottom and gummy in the middle. And nothing is seasoned!, maybe at least a little salt would be better than nothing

I don't know why I have waited so long to try this!I love pizza and this place is up there with the best in the New Orleans area. It's right off the ferry in Algiers point. We were concerned about the wait time since it was the night before Thanksgiving, but we got seated and served immediately. The menu is pretty small, but fantastic. Two of us split a Caesar salad, arancini, and a pepperoni pizza. The salad was terrific, very lemony dressing and the croutons were warm, which was awesome. The arancini were an order of three and they were the size of tennis balls. Crunchy on the outside and gooey. Personally I could have used more sauce but there was plenty and I'm just greedy. Apparently the kitchen was slammed with to go orders, and our server apologized for the delay, which was weird because I didn't think it was taking very long, but good to know they're normally lightning fast!The pizza was fantastic. It had the kind of pepperoni that curls and cups when it gets warm, which I love. The dough was delicious, with that little bit of char from the pizza oven. I always try pepperoni when I go to a place for the first time, and while it was amazing, I will definitely try the other types because they looked great. Can't wait to go back!!!

Stopped in after a long day in the studio. Walked in and it was pretty empty, Oh lucky me, I scored! In all honesty, it was also super bowl Sunday. Sat at the back bar, ordered a chopped salad to start. Coupled that with a Jungle juice cocktail, yum. I then decided on a Margarita pizza and added Ricotta and mushrooms. All in all a solid dinner and great company and service. Ordered the bucatini and meatballs to go for my adult son who was home holding down the fort. We're lucky to have such a nice place at our fingertips her on the Pointe. Drop in one evening and you won't be disappointed.

This pizza joint situated at the edge of Algiers Point is truly one of a kind. After receiving a recommendation the night before, we decided to give it a try. And might I add, we were not disappointed. This casual/cozy spot offers both indoor and outdoor seating. With both New Haven style and Napoletana style. There's a pizza for everyone. We opted for the Fun guy and LeBlanc. Both pizzas were delicious and perfect for two people.

Nighthawk Napoletana is a great pizza place to have so close to me! It's also right next to the ferry so if you're making a trip on the ferry it's easy to get to! My friends and I tried the Fun Gus and the Salsiccia Pizzas both of which had the poblano cream which added some really good flavors. I'm a huge mushroom fan, so the Fun Gus pizza hit all of the right notes for me! The crust was a good balance of thickness and crispiness. Yum!I did try the breadsticks on a later trip and they seemed to have the same flavor as the pizza crust. So if you get the pizza, you probably don't need the breadsticks. The space was limited, but they did pretty good with the space that they had.The prices were also pretty good for pizza. Both pizzas mentioned above were $15 each. Drinks: We got water, but it seemed there were other drink options at the bar in the back.Parking: A few spots in the front and plenty of street Parking.Dog Friendly: There is a table in the front that you can enjoy your pizza while with your dog.Outdoor Seating: Yes, there are a couple of tables in the front.

If you're looking for a pie and a chill spot to hang, this is it! Completely unpretentious but overdelivers on quality and deliciousness. The arancini was incredible and the cannolis and budino were everything I had hoped for and more. The staff is friendly, welcoming and my son enjoyed watching his pizza prepared and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu including the cocktails. If you haven't been, you are definitely missing out on this Algiers point gem!

Dined here on a Monday evening with my spouse. Parking was easy and we were greeted by many employees upon entering. Joelle was our server; she was very knowledgeable and sweet. She told us that all the toppings such as the sausage were made in-house. We ordered the arancini, Salsiccia pizza, and the chocolate budino for dessert. The arancini was great. As for the pizza; I hate to burst you all's bubbles, but the pizza here was not all that! I was not impressed. Perhaps it was because of my recent trip to Illinois? The salsiccia was very light but we felt as if it was missing something. Being our greedy selves, we still ate it though! lol. The budino was a chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream; I enjoyed it.
