Pie Pizza and Pasta, New Orleans

My first afternoon back in New Orleans in many years, I decided to check out restaurants in the warehouse district for lunch. I was pleased to see that more of the warehouses on South Peters Street had been rehabbed and that there was an Italian restaurant available for people like me weren't quite ready for rich Cajun food. Pie Pizza and Pasta is located at 814 South Peters Street in the New Orleans warehouse district. If you are looking for the restaurant on a GPS it is spelled "pie", but if you are walking on South Peters Street looking for the restaurant the sign is spelled differently. Look for the math pi symbol, followed by "ie".

We ordered the Greek Salad to share as it is not available as a side salad. We also ordered a sausage and pepperoni pie. The Greek salad was delicious. It had a tangy dressing and plenty of Feta cheese and olives. It is exactly as one would expect from a Greek salad. The pizza was good. The pie bordered on small. We were able to finish it off after having a salad, and I normally only eat two pieces at most. Also, it wasn't exactly NY pizza quality. I may be biased, expecting all pizza to be New York pizza, but it was not. Still, it was pretty good.

Service was slow, so don't stop there if you are in a hurry. It was past lunch hour and it took quite some time to receive our food. I can't imagine them being able to handle rush hour, but it could happen.

Besides the food and the service, the restaurant was clean, and had a very pleasant atmosphere. There was exposed brick, and cement walls and modest but pleasing decor. The pricing of our meal was also very fair.

I strongly recommend Pie Pizza and Pasta, for a late lunch, or early dinner.
