At the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen (LPK) expect gourmet traditional Cajun cuisine served on top of wood-fired brick oven baked pizza crust. A contribution from both Louisiana and Italy resulting in a flavor combination that is greater than the sum of its parts. I fork-and-knifed it to begin with but as my mountain of delicious Jumbalaya cooled it also congealed. Before I had finished my first slice I was not only able to pick up like a typical pizza, I was able to crease it like a New Yorker. Speaking of which, it sure would be nice to have an LPK open up in New York. In the meantime, I recommend everyone living or visiting the French Market in New Orleans to treat yourself to a gourmet Cajun style pizza at the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen.

October is National Pizza Month and Sean Taylor celebrates this by eating at a different pizza place every day of the month.

Why? Because most bars close around 1am and the T (Boston’s underground transportation system) follows suit soon thereafter. But, Pizza Etc. is open seven days a week at least until 1am. It’s there when you need it. Not only that, but the abundance of fresh toppings help elevate the quality above that of any average pizza pie. “Well, it must be expensive then.” Nope. On the contrary, you can get a large cheese pizza for under . Available, appetizing, and affordable…that’s straight A’s! I won’t go so far as to say “Amazing,” however, I was pleasantly surprised walking into the pizzeria. My guests and I were thrilled to see numerous tables and chairs enabling this carryout and delivery joint a third option of carry-in. And that is what we did. Right out of the oven, into the box, and on to our plates. The pizza is as gourmet as you order it. I recommend the black olive and feta cheese pie for a …
