'Restaurant Impossible' films episode at B.R. pizzeria
Mama Della's N.Y. City Pizzeria will have a chance at redemption this week. The pizzeria and Italian restaurant located on Jefferson Highway near Essen Lane will be the subject of an episode of the Food Network reality show Restaurant Impossible. The show's crew is set to hit town and film the episode this week. Host/chef Robert Irvine and a number of volunteers will be giving the restaurant a two-day makeover Thursday and Friday. A grand re-opening will take place Friday night. The Mama Della's episode is slated to premiere this fall in the show's eighth season. Details on the episode premiere have not been announced. The reality show features Irvine helping fledgling restaurants across the country in less than 48 hours and with $10,000. This will be the show's first visit to Louisiana. Mama Della's opened in the former Schlotzsky's location at 8190 Jefferson Highway in February 2012. Owner Barry Kalt, a New York native, prides himself on quality ingredients and told 225 in August last year that he's enjoyed the culinary experience in Louisiana. "I've learned more about cooking since I've been in Louisiana," Kalt said. "Living here has been a great culinary ride for me and continues to be." —Matthew Sigur

This is not the first show in Louisiana. He did one on a place in Mandeville or Covington which specialized in seafood. He gave him a new recipe to boil crawfish but the guy went back to the way he was boiling them once Robert left. Don't remember the name of the place but it was in LA.

I go there once a week. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't mind the owner's gruffness at times but I can see how many do.
It takes a while at times. I think a lot of people don't expect that.

It's good NY style pizza, but lets face it, pizza just isn't that big in BR. Pastime and Fluer de lis are BR institutions. Thus, they remain popular. For the most part, when your average baton rougeon thinks of pizza, the think of Papa John's, Domino's and Pizza Hut. At least that's what I gather from the 4-5 delivery cars I see rolling through my neighborhood on a nightly basis.
I hope the place stays open

Apart from any issues about the personalities, the place just has about as much atmosphere as a Waffle House. Pizza is good, but it's just not a comfortable or pleasant place to enjoy a meal.
