Betelgeuse Betelgeuse

"Named after a red supergiant star but pronounced “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” like the eery, iconic movie character, this intergalactic cocktail bar and pizzeria promises cheesy, crispy-crusted pizzas, all baked in cast iron pans. The Pepps pizza, made with natural-cased pepperoni, and the cheese pizza are both classics, but if you’re being adventurous, try the Alpha Centauri, made with house-made sausage, sauteed peppers, Calabrian chili oil, and a hint of orange zest. Big fan of dough? Order the Space Balls, which are like a fried hybrid of garlic bread and beignets, served with marinara." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart

"This eclectic bar’s Sixth Ward location faces out to Washington Avenue, making it hard to miss. Explore the cocktail menu which showcases out-of-the-box choices like a Pickletini and a black Lemon Drop martini made with charcoal, and stay for pizza. Betelgeuse Betelgeuse slings iron-clad pizzas, plus pizzeria essentials like salads, buffalo wings, and hot Italian sandwiches." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley

"Betelgeuse Betelgeuse and Willow’s Texas BBQ are continuing to dole out their Willow’s smoked brisket pizza." - Kayla Stewart

"The intergalactic cocktail bar and pizzeria trades in some of its spacey theme for some seasonal cheer, complete with holiday lights, fun inflatables, and a cozy outdoor firepit. Expect the same delicious fare, including pizza fries, ironclad-style pizzas with crispy edges, and inventive cocktails, plus specials that you can only get this time of year." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley

"Betelgeuse Betelgeuse is a bar and pizza parlor located in the Sixth Ward with a menu full of cosmic cocktails, buffalo wings, and a whole lot of pizza." - Gianni Greene
