I like Echo. It is definitely trying to be more Roman style pizza and suppli and etc.

I did get one pizza there, the mushroom, that was completely flavorless. Other than that pretty good.

Echo's is okay, but I feel like the only reason it gets raves is because there's not a lot of pizza in that area.

Embarrassing admission: one of the only reasons I haven't been to Gabrielle is they don't have a reserve online option. If I have to call to make a reservation I am just too lazy for that.

That's a shame. I rarely make reservations online. I prefer to call myself.

Agreed. I think Ancora and Domenica are still better.

Not that I would not agree with y'all but will still check it out for myself. Maybe next time we hit up 504 craft.

Calling for a reservation is a fate worse than death

I don't if I don't use it and I rarely use it. I haven't used it in New Orleans in years. I've used for some out of state reservations, but rarely. I don't even know if I have any points at all.

These are meaningless right? What can one do with the points?

I used it twice in June and once in September. I have 200 points, apparently not enough for anything.
