Bonci Pizza in New Orleans celebrated its debut on July 25th, 2019 in the heart of the city’s Warehouse District. This is anything but your ordinary pizza shop, as Bonci’s New Orleans locale is only the third franchise of its kind in the United States. This delightful destination follows in the footsteps of its Italian predecessor, founded by restaurateur Gabriele Bonci in 2003.
The eatery’s original location sits just a stone’s throw from the Vatican and has garnered an iconic status among travelers throughout the years, prompting the development of a Chicago location in 2017. With the addition of Bonci Pizza in New Orleans, diners will have the chance to taste a Roman favorite in the American South.
So, what sets Bonci apart from other pizzerias? First-time visitors will be impressed by the restaurant’s al taglio serving style, which translates directly to "by the cut." That’s right: pizza here is priced by weight and cut with scissors, so you’ll always be able to select a perfect serving size.
Each pie is created in a rectangular pan with delectable wheat-based dough, all finished off with a rotating variety of toppings. From meatballs to muffaletta, the flavor options are seemingly endless and the attention to quality is impossible to deny. Diners are in for an unforgettable Italian-inspired experience.
