  I ordered this as a late night meal through UberEats and I had the sausage, mushroom, and cheese calzone. There was plenty of sausage and cheese but not that many mushrooms. I thought there was a lot of bread so I ended up just eating the inside and throwing most of it away. The flavor was okay but I don't think I would return.
  
  *I actually ordered from them again on the last night I was in NOLA. But this time I ordered a pizza. I had a vegetarian option and it was awesome. I'll take the pizza over the calzone any day.*

  Ordered crawfish lasagna through door dash to have at my hotel.  Expected it to be decadent, which it is.  
  
  Good amount of seafood and cheese.  Crawfish flavor permeates, and is the yummy flavor I was looking forward to first night in NOLA.
  
  Too salty for me, but I a low salt threshold.
  
  Main issue is it arrived swimming in grease.  I ended up excavating some of the interior layers of seafood trying to rescue them from the oils.
  
  I imagine in the restaurant it wouldn't pool as much as it would spread out on a plate.
  
  Could only eat a few bites, but what I dug out from under the sauce and oil was rich and satisfying.

  To sum up this "restaurant" in one word: Underwhelming
  Last night my fiancé & I had an order to-go of a personal pepperoni pizza w/ breadsticks, & chicken Parmesan w/ a side Caesar salad.
  For being the "original Italian pie" the pie was a complete joke. If you handed me a slice while I was blind folded, I would have 100% thought it was Little Caesar's, but a day old & reheated.
  The chicken Parmesan was basically a TV frozen dinner. Breading of the chicken wasn't crispy, but instead a soggy mess, & the sauce was completely tasteless.
  I'm no Gordon Ramsey, but I can tell it was clearly microwaved & should definitely be the next episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
  The breadsticks were pathetic. Ridiculously chewy & INCREDIBLY greasy. Literally soaked through the box. Let me make that more clear: BREADSTICKS had so much grease that it SOAKED THROUGH THE BOX.         ????????WTF??????????HOW???
  Btw idk if you guys know this, but sprinkling some pre packaged Italian seasoning onto a piece of bread...doesn't give you the right to call your food Italian.
  Oh, & they forgot my damn salad.

  The Meatball Calzone was delicious!!!!! The marinara sauce was seasoned just right. This also was my first time ever eating from this establishment, but friends of mine always enjoyed eating here. I definitely will add this to my list of favorites. I hope the food tastes as good as it did my first time for whenever I return.

  We stopped here Saturday after enjoying the NKOTB concert, keep in mind we got there at 11:15pm while you are reading this review "they close at 12". I did give an extra star because they didn't kick us or anyone else out of the restaurant at 12, it was pouring down rain and everyone was dreading going outside.
  The employee taking the orders was very short with us "I get it, it's 45 min till closing" and a group of 90's kids just invaded your place. After placing order I immediately go to Yelp to check in and was rewarded with a free soft drink "perfect, I forgot to order a drink" I approached the counter again to collect my drink and was basically just looked at from employees in the back. After a few minutes one of the girls "not the one who took my order" comes to the counter, I show her my coupon and she yells to the back we got a Yelp thing going on? You mean he "didn't catch name" paid for something? She then hands me a cup and returns to back. Over the next 10 minutes everyone from the back comes up front and stares over at our table. After 15 minutes or so our pizza & cheese bread come out.
  Food review: the pizza tasted like a Digiorno pizza no grease kinda bland, the sauce tasted like Prego. The cheese bread was really good though.
