Fresco Pizzeria

Fantastic food. Great service. Reasonable price.

This is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. My family and I have been coming here for years, and we have not been disappointed with the food and staff. The restaurant has undergone recent changes, and the changes are great! New paint job, new furniture, and new items on the menu! All of the food is delicious, and the staff is so welcoming and wonderful! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great pizza ! Ugh 😩 the chocolate cake was amazing, rich and moist! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! Great experience!

Mid afternoon. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. Food was very good, cheese pizza and chicken parmesan sub. Very close to NY style, needed a little more olive oil on the pizza to be truly authentic. Still, it's the best I've had in NOLA after a couple of years living here

Food was excellent! Great service! So glad we decided to try this restaurant - definitely worth it!

Great! I come to Tulane for events a few times a year, and I hit this place up almost every time I'm in town.

Such an amazing place!! The staff was friendly and the food was unbelievable!! Spicy hummus, grilled chicken Ceasars salad.... amazing!!!! Tge absolutely perfect place.

Lovely place to eat with friends and or family. Kid friendly. Food is fresh and made to order. Owner is pretty much on the floor most days. The Caesar salad, Turkey sandwich and fresco special pizza are favorites! 10 out of 10 recommend.

My first visit was yesterday. The young lady helped me with my selection and added an order for me when I forgot an appetizer. Nice family video and I love the outside patio. Wonderful food and service.

Amazing service love the new renovations. The staff is great food is great 10 out of 10 recommend

Really nice waitstaff & delicious food. Affordable with a cute atmosphere. Late night hours is a plus too.

We had a great time at this restaurant. My daughter has chosen to come here for the fifth year in a row after discovering this place as a Loyola student. When you arrive, you sit wherever you like and the waitstaff will great you. Our waitress, Gabby, was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. We originally sat inside but quickly changed our minds because you needed a jacket to sit inside! It was a pleasant day on our visit, so sitting outside was great. The food was delicious, and they could make anything customizable. I can't eat onions, so they were able to make the shrimp fettuccine without the scallions. This is huge for me! Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for your Italian fix.

Great food and reasonable prices. Nice seating in a small quiet restaurant. I had the beet root salad with Gyro meat. My wife said that the shrimp with the Alfredo pasta was delicious. Really liked the garlic cheese bread served with those dishes.

I love the Sampler Selection of roasted eggplant, spicy tomato, and hummus dips, which is served with toasted wheat and whole wheat pita triangles. My favorite pizza is their Greek— but I call to order and ask for tomato sauce instead of the garlic herb sauce. I ordered those two things— enough for 4-5 people— and it arrived quickly. Delicious, as always!

We came in from a TikTok posting. Meatball sandwich was excellent. We met the owner, and he was a nice as could be. They recently renovated and it looks great. Good prices. We’ll definitely come back for lunch or dinner.

Went with my wife and daughter the food was delicious the service was great and we will come back when we visit Nola again.

When I’m in New Orleans I’m typically too tired to go out after work and prefer to just have dinner delivered. I was very excited about trying to spaghetti and meatballs and Caesar salad from Fresco Cafe & Pizzeria and I was not disappointed!! Hot, fast, and exceptionally tasty! Everything was thoughtfully packaged and very fresh. I will definitely be trying some of the other items on their menu!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. The name of the restaurant says it all, FRESH! The food was amazing. The menu was diverse. Jamie our waitress was so much fun. It was a great experience. We loved relaxatiing on the deck of the restaurant on a sulry summer afternoon eating great Italian food. The prices are very reasonable. I cannot recommend this place high enough. This will be one of our must go to places in the future.

Absolutely amazing! I ordered delivery from here and could not be happier with the decision. I ordered the cheese and portobello mushroom ravioli. Delicious! Huge portion too and SOOO many mushrooms! I also got their red pepper and Gouda soup (tasted quite like a tomato bisque but with a lovely little burst of flavor I wasn’t expecting). Food came in a foil container that kept everything nice and hot and fresh. Would 100% order from here again! (The ravioli wasn’t listed amongst the “food you’d recommend” section or I would have added that too)

We went to Fresco 4 years ago and my daughter never forgot the pesto pasta. It really is outstanding. And everything else we have tried is also great!

We were looking for a quick, cheap bite to eat with my two little kids. Usually with these perimeters, I resign myself to mediocre food (you get what you pay for, after all) but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. The food here is really delicious! I loved the spinach and artichoke dip especially. And the menu satisfied all of the very picky eaters in our group. My one word of warning? The portions are HUGE. We definitely over-ordered but we packed up the leftovers and it was delicious the next day.

Update: we've tried a bunch more stuff, and its all been amazing. The bartender thats usually there, he is so awesome. Every employee I've interacted with has been awesome. First time trying Fresco's last night, we live a few blocks away. It was outstanding. Best part was the awesome bartender; she is definitely an assett-telking me about the menu made want to eat, well, everything. We will be back soon.

We just stumbled upon Fresco’s looking for somewhere to eat dinner. We really enjoyed the environment. It was welcoming and we didn’t feel out of place having our 2 year old with us. Gabby was our server and she was wonderful! We ordered coke zeros and they were flat so we brought it to her attention. She didn’t give us an attitude and once the issue with the sodas was fixed she gave us new ones. It’s refreshing to have someone who genuinely makes sure their customer is taken care of. I had the garlic shrimp pizza and it was delicious! We are from BR but if I lived near by I know we would be eating here several times a month. If you haven’t tried this place before you should!

| love frescos, I get take out at least once a week because I cannot depend on another restaurant to be as consistent. I also always have left overs for the next few days. I recommend the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer, it's so filling. My go to is a caesar salad and the fettuccine shrimp alfredo. The little cheese bread triangles are the perfect pair with the salad and pastas. Not to mention, the shrimp are full sized and not the small pieces you typically find at restaurants. I've only dined in once when I had more time during the day, but my friends and I had a great time, we had to take to go boxes. You will NOT leave hungry. The vibes at night are very laid back and visually pleasing, I would totally recommend for a date night. You get your moneys worth, a full stomach, a warm welcome, honestly just an all around great experience.

I've never eaten here in person, but since moving to the neighborhood about a year ago, they've been my go-to for to-go. All of their sandwiches (especially veggie) are absolutely delicious and stuffed to the max! Shout-out to the rosemary potatoes they serve on the side! Simple yet scrumptious. Stromboli and pizza are a hit as well in this house. We of course never go without a side of their pita and hummus. I look forward to continuing in this relationship as long as we are around.🤍

We have enjoyed getting takeout from Fresco for a couple of years now. The pizza is delicious (neither thick nor thin crust) - spinach & artichoke is a must try - and the service prompt, friendly, and no-fuss. We are glad to have it in the neighborhood!

This is quite possibly the best pizza place in NOLA. In addition to the amazing staff the food is incredible. There is a wonderful selection of appetizers with the hummus dip trio being extraordinarily tasty and the wings are amongst the best. Although the pizza is my favorite the Stromboli is a great lunch time go to. For a heartier meal the lasagna is beyond compare. You will not be disappointed in the amazing food, the quality service, and the welcoming atmosphere.

This is one of my favorite places. The food is always delicious. The serve are always on point and I love the atmosphere and the newly remodeled dining area. I mostly get my food delivered which I love because I don’t have to go through an app go right to the source. I must say this is definitely one of my favorite little spots to have dinner and to bring guests from out of town.

We had a great meal here last night with our family of 7 plus a dog. They were super dog friendly and brought us water for our pup. The food was very tasty, fresh and came out fast. We had pizza, sandwiches , lavash rolls, and the sampler selection appetizer. There was a great beer and wine selection also (although they were out of Heineken the server offered samples to make sure we were happy with our drinks) We will absolutely return again and again. A neighborhood favorite.

Fresco has some of the best pizza in town, and the spicy tomato dip appetizer is positively addictive. All of the other appetizers are also delicious, the salads are so fresh and crispy, and their new menu has something for everyone, including reasonably-priced, high-end and fun cocktails and a really nice wine list!! Add to that incredibly friendly and helpful service. I highly recommend Fresco to all, Tulane students and locals alike. You won’t be disappointed!!

My fiancé always ask if I want pizza, but I am not a pizza person. However, I am a Mediterranean food lover, and that Mediterranean pizza is scrumptious. From the red onions, to the kalamata olives, and tomatoes (I usually don't like tomatoes) my taste buds loved it. I will be back. I also ordered a ceaser salad, and for some reason the salad had a strange taste to it, so I didn't eat it. Other than that I would of gave 5 stars.

Despite all the potholes and closed down streets, this place was an Italian gem! The portobello ravioli was some of the best pasta with vodka sauce I’d ever had. The streets get a little crowded at night, but the drive down here was well worth it. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also very nice place if you ever fancied a dinner date. The food wasn’t too heavy despite being pasta and all fresh ingredients. The portions are also very large. Overall, 8.5/10.

Excellent pizza! Wonderful service. Can't go wrong here

Food is great here. I recommend the pepperoni or BBQ chicken pizza with beer pitchers or margaritas. Only bad thing is they have a parking lot outside which you have to pay to park in even if you are a paying customer and will fine you 85 dollars for staying there for less than an hour. Not cool.

This place was ok. We got a large pepperoni pizza and a traditional house salad. The total came to around $40 which is extremely expensive. The pizza was a step above a school pizza. Not super impressed and for $40, we expected a lot more pepperoni. The salad was good and fresh. Service was friendly.

The food is fine but everything else is intolerable in my opinion. Thankfully it’s just a local concern. Nobody else cares about this place. They won’t deliver for your life….

Granted, a very busy, busy night. Walked up, placed order to go on restaurant's site, with tip, just a sandwich, drink and dessert, and confirmation said 15 minute until ready. Then update said 20 more minutes. Then another said 30 more minutes. I walked up after an hour had passed and it turns out they missed the order. Apologized, and they said they could get it out in another 20 minutes. And they brought it out, I was starving by that point and are it right on their patio. And it was delicious. It would have been nice to have been offered anything to make up for the wasted hour.

Do NOT order delivery if you want to eat. I ordered Uber Eats and it was a mistake

Shady business! When I went there they charged me extra for using a credit card but did not provide a disclaimer on their menu. Had to argue with the owner to get the price that was posted on the menu. He knew he was in the wrong and finally gave me the correct price. Would not trust!

One of the most ABSURD experiences of my life. I went to pick up a to-go order at Frescos at about 9 pm. There were 3 tables with customers and about 15-20 tables wide open. After I picked up my food, I walked outside and sat at a table to begin eating. Usually would just take the food home, but this day I planned to walk down the street and go to a bar with a couple friends. So, I sat down and an outside table to quickly eat and head out. Not long after I began eating, I was confronted by two employees who told me I could not eat take out at a table because it would limit their ability to seat dine-in customers. Keep in mind, there were easily 15 tables open. They asked me to leave, but I refused because I was a paying customer no different than any other. She told me they were going to call the police if I didn't leave. Again, I refused because if the police showed up because a paying customer was eating THEIR food in THEIR restaurant, the police would laugh in their faces. I worked in the restaurant industry for years, and i have never seen a customer treated so terribly so quickly. In any service industry, you do your best to ensure customers are satisfied. They completely disregarded my satisfaction even though I came to enjoy their food. I would be surprised if I ever experience anything like that ever again. I was absolutely dumbfounded by the way they treated a paying customer.
