We stopped by NOLA Mia right when they opened, before watching the Acro Cats at the Cabaret next door. It was a cute place, local art for sale on the walls. The service was friendly and fast. We got a total of three slices, garlic knots and two drinks for about $22. The slices were huge and flavorful as were the garlic knots. We didn't try the gelato because we didn't want to be totally miserable during the show BUT it looked REALLY good. I would definitely recommend checking out NOLA Mia's if you're in the area - they have sandwiches and salads as well - the menu has a lot of options!
Upon this first Nola Mia Gelato Cafe delivery order, I think we've finally found the closest thing to New York style pizza in the Bywater and beyond.
New to the neighborhood, my spouse and I moved to NOLA in 2003, after about a decade in Manhattan – where there's a mom and pop pizza store on every corner. We had two on our block.
Ever since, we've sought out those large and wide slices with the thin, crispy, foldable crusts we crave.
Cute low frills spot to get food and sweets. Servers were very friendly and helpful when I came in. Didn't try the Gelato when I came in but I will definitely be back to check it out and update my review. We had the butterfly shrimp and fries and they were solid.
Lots of tasty menu options! You can get a hot slice of pizza and some gelato, or one of dozens of sandwich options with a fresh brewed coffee or cappuccino. With a bright artistic style, this place is colorful and fun!
My second time in a week. My eggplant Parm last week was better than this week. Both of the paninis we ordered. were soggy on the inside. For me makes it impossible to enjoy as I don't like soggy stuff. The chicken on our chicken Parm was overcooked, dry, and had a mild scorched taste like it was shallow fried in a pan and the bits of the breading were beginning to burn. It was cooked way too long to be so thin. Had mango peach Italian soda again, that was good.
Had a Greek salad with chicken last week. It was very good the chicken was fresh flavorful and juicy. My Eggplant Parm sandwich last week was very good too.
I posted some older photos (June 27, 2021) of my first visit. That time my pizza was overcooked so it took me close to two years to try them again and I am across the street hungry every Sunday night. I am going to try the Pizza one more time and do an update.
Hopefully, it's better than the first time. I need a go-to place to eat when I am in the area.
This is absolutely without a doubt the best pizza place in the entire city. I have been to ALL the major spots and this one without a doubt takes the cake.
The dough is fluffy, chewy, crunchy and just packed full of flavor. It alone would be perfect by itself.
The sauce is quite frankly the PERFECT balance of sweet and acidic.
And the cheese is so fresh, so creamy, so tender and juicy.
This spot just hits all of the marks. I will be back, it is just THAT GOOD.
LGBTQIA friendly Pizza, Gelato, sandwiches, Italian sodas. Local artwork. Cool n refreshing space in the summer.
Open for parties and groups.
Friendly staff and family.
Love this place. You can’t beat the price. Reminds me of living back in NYC. You can get a slice, drink and garlic knots for $7ish
Christo who works there is super helpful and works like crazy there. The owner is from Naples so you know it’s as official as you can get down here in Nola. They have a huge selection of Sandwiches and Gelatos also.
The gelato and garlic knots with sauce here are quite yummy! It's a good place to duck into to avoid the heat. In particular the blood orange sorbet and mascarpone and fig gelato are lovely :) only one flavor sample per customer!
Got the white pizza with spinach and tomatoes. Good lord. Huge, didn't finish it the same night, but you just can't go wrong with chewy crusts and ricotta chunks of goodness. Second night, for Gelato and pizzas. Zero disappointment!!
