There's not a place I've come across that puts more meat on a pizza.

Some people don't like a pizza with overloaded toppings

The reason you like it is the reason I think it's trash

Fair point. We all have different preferences.

If you wanna bring back king cakes mr ronnies, cajun pecan house, cannata's, rouses

I agree it's high. Always has been. But that's because the amount of toppings. We can't all be OT ballers. That's ok, there's always Little Ceasars hot n ready on your way home.

It's just a personal preference but they put too much toppings on the pizza

If I want a lot of meat I'll eat a steak or a burger or something where the meat is the main portion of the dish. A good pizza is more than just toppings. If toppings make the pizza then the pizza itself sucks IMO

This thread made me do an image search to see what all of this topping talk was about.

Agreed. That’s ridiculous.

Cajun Critters moved into a new place, about a half mile from where they were but the food is still good. They do get very busy.

Taco Pizza at West Main is awesome!
We order mixed beef/pork, no onions, hot (sauce)
DO NOT CARRY OUT…the thin , crispy crust is part of West Main’s greatness. It will get soggy if carried out due to all the toppings.

Song Phi Nong

Spigots

Bayou Delight for fried chicken

Best Bakery has awesome French bread

Watergrill for poboys

I go to West Main every time in Houma, along with Cinnamonster in Southland Mall. As others have said, the prices at West Main are insane. I understand they put a lot of toppings, but no toppings are worth that much. Some of their specialty pizzas are over $50 for large. I can get a large triple pepperoni from Dominos, that has just as much pepperoni, for under $10.

Okay, back home now. While in Houma I tried 1921 Seafood and got some duck strips and boiled crawfish. This is a very cool place with a hole-in-the-wall feel but is really decent-sized though squeezed into a smaller place. The duck strips were cooked perfectly, the crawfish had a different flavor than what I am used to - like if it has a lot of black pepper mixed into the boil. It's a good flavor to me. The crawfish were small. It's February. But I just got some crawfish in Alexandria from Hotheads that were a much better size. Still, it's early. I'll definitely go back to this place next time I'm in Houma.

On my second night, I went to West Main Pizza. I like pizza with lots of toppings. But I can definitely see why this place is polarizing. The staff is friendly and it has a neighborhood restaurant feel. As to the pizza, well, it reminds me of Mr. Gatti's pizza. The crust was kinda thin, not completely cooked and the toppings were exactly what I would have expected at Gatti's. This stuff will not satisfy fans of all the brick oven, crispy crust, newer pizza places with, frankly, better pizza. I got their deluxe/supreme (can't remember the name) pizza and enjoyed it. But, I'm not difficult to please. I can think of many places that have better pizza, but few with that kind of atmosphere. You'd think I was a regular the way the staff interacted with me.

On my third day, I stopped at Herradura for lunch. I ordered something I should have known better than to order (steak) and they cooked it poorly. I don't think that one experience is a fair indication of their food, but I also am not likely to seek them out again.

I wanted to go to Song Phi Nong for dinner but it was Thursday and that place was packed. The parking lot was full. So, I went to Big Mikes BBQ. I had gone to the one in Thibodaux on Wednesday for lunch and wanted to try something different. The Thibodaux location is better in every way that I could tell. The ribs I got were cooked well but I probably won't visit that location again.

Thanks for the recs.
