My MIL who grew up on Plum street and attended Tulane c/o 67’ said that Phillip’s was the place to Goto for Pizza when she was growing up. It’s worth a shot, the girls working behind the bar are nice to look at.

Nice. I went with friends from Tulane in the mid 80s.

New Orleans was populated by Sicilian immigrants and Neapolitan style pizza was not very popular at the time with Sicilians. What we called pizza is basically a thick bread with tomato sauce on top. That might explain why New Orleans was so slow to come around to pizza.

I keep looking for the Groupon. When will a Groupon be available?

Edit: Fine work as always. I would prefer to take a pizza tour of New Orleans, but the poorboy tour of New Orleans sounds fascinating. Are you available for private family tours in Mid January?

I found an interesting book about this topic.
Creole Italian: Sicilian Immigrants and the shaping of New Orleans food culture

Well, sort of about it. It goes into much more than just pizza.

Neither. All my research comes directly from TP archives, telephone books from the Orleans and Jefferson Parish public libraries, Tom Fitzmorris, and several old city guides at the NO Historic Collections. If you read both articles you will see significant differences in content although it’s pretty clear we share reliance on at least one of the same source materials. Thanks for always thinking of me.
