this is the kind of pizza that everybody's comfortable and familiar with. the toppings available are your standard pizza fare, there's nothing fancy going on here, no brie and salmon with capers, not even the usual spinach and artichoke that kicked off that whole 'gourmet' pizza trend. for me a pizza is nothing without that perfect crust thats not too crunchy or too soft and glutinous, their crust is perfect. but this is the one place that i make the (monthly) dreaded trip across that parish line for. like most people who live in new orleans i'd rather have a tooth pulled than go to metairie, especially veteran's blvd. I've been going to TOP for over twenty years now and the only thing wrong with the place is the location. I know now why they don't carry a bunch of other menu items and I hope they stick with what they do best and that's make the best pizza in town. Bottom line is this is a pizza place doing pizza right. First thing for me is always the crust and one bite in I knew this would be one of the best pizza's I would ever have. Large pizza cut in 8 slices and looked like a thing of beauty. Then the pizza arrived and "Wow" it looked amazing and smelled incredible. It was a basic italian salad with great dressing and artichokes and it tasted exactly how I would want it to. The salad came first and man they knocked it out of the park. We ordered a large pizza with pepperoni, black olives, extra cheese and 1 small italian salad. Not a bunch of appetizers and extra stuff that nobody needs to order when they want a great pizza. I got excited because it was pizza, salad, and spaghetti end of subject. I looked up and she was right it was posted big as day. We sat down and the waitress met us promptly and got our drink order and I asked did they have a menu. Checkered table cloths and the smell of pizza all around. When we arrived the place was exactly what I had hoped for it specialized in nothing other than pizza. We read quite a few and decide this is the place. So I decide to google best pizza in New Orleans and Tower of Pizza comes up with 73 reviews. So my wife and I were sitting at the children's school waiting for them to be dismissed and we were trying to figure out where to eat pizza since we both live in Houston.
