Pizza looks legit.

I wish I could say the same for that wooden serving platter. With all of those routed in logos, I imagine cleaning them properly would be next to impossible.

Your standard decent beer selection. Typical domestic selection and a decent mix of the local beers. Everything between $4-7 a pour I think.

I saw Michael Stipe and Peter Buck get up and play one night in the Bayou circa 1982 or so, left and promptly got pepper sprayed by someone on the sidewalk. Had a good cry that night.

That duck bacon pizza looks good and I think pecorino Romano goes great on a pizza and is not utilized enough.

I think the property owner basically forced Mahoney's out to do his own bar (Bleachers).


So wait, the property owner wanted to push a tenant out to try is own place and the best he can do was Bleachers?

I was kind've hoping Bleachers was an attempt to do a $100 paint job and at least try to pull in some revenue while waiting for a real tenant to come back.

Before that when it was Mahoney's they seemed to do ok for that location. There was never a time that it was completely dead, granted there was never a time besides football games that it was packed to the gills.


I went probably once every week or two for lunch because they had a burger special that was outstanding. If the people who made those burgers opened a burger joint in town, they would kill it.

No joke. Can we please get a SERIOUS pizza spot that doesn't charge 25.00 for a personal size pizza with no toppings?

Yes. The property owner's wife had retired from being a nurse and got bored and wanted to run a bar.

Not sure about this I'm worried they're going to be spreading themselves too thin

Went on Tuesday.

Went tonight. I think this place will do extremely well. Solid beer and cocktail selection as well. Had the Duck Bacon and Romano pizza and it was phenomenal. 5/5. We also had the one that is basically a clone of the Bou-Ray from Red Zeppelin with boudin and jalapenos. It was decent but I wasn't crazy about the spicy red sauce on the pie. Next time I go I'm going to have to try the pulled pork pizza. I'll definitely be going back, they opened up the floor space so there is plenty of seating.
Duck Bacon

Boudin Jalapeno


Probably going to go back next week one day and try the Flying Pig (pulled pork pizza)

Bleachers was trash. Paper LSU decorations. On an LSU football game day (believe it was Arkansas with an early kickoff) they had one bartender. 15 minutes to get a Bloody Mary or a mimosa shouldn’t happen

Single slizes were $5 for a person pizza sized slice of pizza.


Seems like a little too much honestly. But the $15-19 price seems good for that size pizza.

I liked Reginelli's and they had great beer specials.

We went earlier this evening. It’s not terrible but I would go to RZ or Rocca instead. The salads were horrible. I would venture to say mr gattis level salads. We got the duck pizza which was tasty but when it’s that thin of crust, well there needs to be some crunch to the dough. There was no crisp.

I got my son a slice of pepperoni pizza. Has a slight spice to red sauce.

Def. worth going if ur on campus or after tailgating but nothing going to blow ur mind by any means

That's what happens when you order a salad at a pizza place. (just busting your balls). There's no excuse for a City Pork restaurant to serve a crappy salad considering the offerings at the other 2 official restaurants.

The "purple sauce" which is their spicy red sauce is much too vinegary and forward on the jalapeno. Though I will say that as a leftover after sitting for a couple of days the purple sauce pizza was great.

And this is why I love red zeppelin. I ordered the spinach salad with chicken a couple months ago. It was amazing. I also had the wings which were really good. Not pluckers good but really good to me. Of course had a few pieces of pizza and it was amazing too.

It was like the dressing was very watered down. It was just bad and not what the other city pork locations serve IMO.

Just ate here for lunch. Great value. Giant pizza slices for $5 plus a drink.

Pizza was delicious. A little greasy, but premium ingredients. The crust is fantastic. Chewy, crunchy, and nicely blistered.

Highly recommend for a quick, cheap, delicious lunch.
