“ what a lovely evening our party of four had at Irene's. Polite waitstaff, delicious food, warm ambience. We look forward to a return our next time in New Orleans. ”
“ I was looking for pizza in walking distance from my hotel and this came highly rated- so bought pizza for take out. I got the Italian Pie Combination- small- it was a good size, tasty crust, lots of toppings. The only negative was that it was supposed to be ready at 6:38 and didn't receive until 30 minutes after that- so not an ideal wait time. It may have been a one off with the timing. The pizza was delicious and would try it again. ”
“ Pizza was yummy, for sure. Small, quaint pizzeria with a great staff. Huge portions, too. ”
“ Server friendly, and efficient. Pizza very good, plenty of toppings, just enough sauce and good cheese. Would definitely come again. Small. casual setting, has a bar but we did not make use of it ”
“ Found this spot, here on Yelp. They have decent reviews so I decided to give them a try. I decided on the White Gourmet and the Italian Pie Combination with red crushed pepper and Parmesan cheese. I took my order to go. The order taker was nice. The place is very casual. The pizzas a were ready to go rather fast. I was disappointed when I opened my bag and boxes and there were no red crushed pepper flakes or Parmesan cheese. I am staying in an Airbnb and they do not have any condiments. The white pizza was good, it could have used a bit more chicken, spinach, and garlic. The Italian combination is exactly what I expected. I love the fact the pizza crusts were not too thick. ”
“ We got hungry and hubby decided to come give this a try. So glad we did!!! The food was delicious and the service was also as good as the food. Our hostess was very attentive for everything. Really great energy from her. Ask for Angie she was incredible and made our day. We are from Cali and been here a few times before, this time was my families first time and we all enjoyed our time. Come on the pizza is delicious you won't regret it. ”
“ Today has been a day and as soon as I landed in NOLA I had to get something to eat. After getting settled into my hotel, I performed a general search and stumbled upon The Original Italian Pie. The name itself stood out for me so I placed an order. Being from Boston I am a lover of good Pizza. Being that the name is The Original Italian Pie, I had to order a pie. I decided on a Small 10" with Extra Cheese and Pepperoni. Simple, however, this is the biggest test of all time. If you can't do a simple pizza right, for sure you can't do a gourmet pizza right. Oh yeah, let's see what this experience will be like. As soon as I opened the pizza box I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of fresh seasonings filled my nose as the visual of grease and gooey cheese filled my eyes and made my mouth water. Being that the visual was amazing, it's time to take a bite! Babeeeeeeeeeeeee. When I say, The Original Italian Pie is truly The Original Italian Pie. I'm talking about truly. My pizza is amazing. Great seasoning. Quality Cheese. Quality Pepperoni. Perfect Crust to Toppings ratio. Nice Sauce consistency. And, Perfectly Baked. Yeah. It's official. This isn't just a Pizza. It's def a Pizza Pie experience. Thank you The Original Italian Pie for living up to your name. My stomach and taste buds are elated. ”
