Theo's Neighborhood Pizza, Elmwood

we were in the Elmwood area and wanted a good lunch place. We looked online and saw Theos had a good lunch special so we decided to check it out. the lunch special was a one-topping pizza plus a drink or any sandwich plus a drink for 10.99. we got a mushroom pizza, a sundried tomato pizza and a pesto veggie sandwich. we also got cheese bread to start off with as well as a cookie. the cookie was really good and tasted really fresh. the cheese bread was ok and we would skip that the next time. both pizzas were good, a decent size and good flavor; the crust was on the thinner side so that was the only negative. good lunch special with good portion size and good flavor. ambiance and customer service were also good

I ordered the bacon Bleu cheese pizza and was not disappointed. I love the spot, parking was great as well. My only complaint is that I was asked if I needed refills on my drink so many times, JKJK LOL, zero complaints whatsoever.

Had a 14" pizza for lunch with my wife. Pizza was really good, only complaint was it could have used a little more sauce. Service was great, staff was very friendly. Pizza was good heated up again.

One of our staff members would always bring Theo’s for lunch. It would disappear before I ever had it. With all the rave at work, I decided to visit for lunch and get the lunch special. Can I tell you how wonderful that pizza was! This coming from a person who dreads thin crust pizza. My first visit I ordered a veggie pizza, the second visit I ordered extra cheese with jalapeños and a side salad, and on my last visit I ordered a plain cheese pizza. Each time was wonderful and consistently made. The restaurant was clean and well-kept. Bathroom included. I can’t say my experience with the staff was good. It wasn’t too hot during my two visits. Seemed to be the same woman. I highly recommend Theo’s Pizza on Elmwood and will definitely be returning for my 4+ times.

Wow this is great pizza!! Ordered a small eccentric pizza and estimated ready time was 30 minutes. When we got there in 12 minutes, the pizza was already hot and ready. Friendly service, and the pizza was delicious and FRESH. Highly recommend.

I ordered a pizza and wings about 30 minutes before they closed last night. I hate ordering so close to closing but really wanted some pizza and I was worried it wouldn't have been the best of quality and may have just been thrown together cause it was close to 9pm, I was pleasantly wrong.. it was one my best experiences with the pizza.. it was fresh, hot, and tasted great.. definitely will be back

The food, atmosphere, and service was good. Sarah, I think that was her name...she was always smiling when she took our order and what not. A smile goes a long way. I wish to have her as my waiter/server, with all due respect to other servers/waiters. But one thing is bad about the Theo's Pizza (Elmwood- Harahan, LA.)..the men's and women's bathroom needs to redone (paint, etc.). Other than that everything is good and always love the food of this restaurant, especially their Stuffed Breadsticks..

⸻ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Alpha Wolf Approved 🐺🍕 I was on the hunt for the right place to break my fast, and Theo’s Pizza became my choice. From the moment me and my packmate (my dad) stepped inside, the service was sharp, welcoming, and quick—exactly how an Alpha likes it. The atmosphere had that warm, lively den feeling, perfect for sitting down and enjoying a true feast. When the Meathead pizza hit the table, piled high with pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, hamburger, bacon, and more, my wolf spirit was howling, singing, and celebrating with every bite. Every slice was rich, savory, and perfectly balanced—pure Alpha fuel after fasting. My dad loved it just as much, and we left Theo’s happy, full, and pleased. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll be telling my friends—this is a hunting ground every wolf should know. 🐾 Service: 5/5 🐾 Food: 5/5 🐾 Experience: 5/5 🐾 Overall: 10/10 Dave Portnoy needs to check this place out—Theo’s Pizza isn’t just good, it’s legendary. Awooo! 🐺🔥 — Shadow, The Alpha Wolf

Wow this is great pizza!! Ordered a small eclectic pizza and estimated ready time was 30 minutes. When we got there in 12 minutes, the pizza was already hot and ready. Friendly service, and the pizza was delicious and FRESH. Highly recommend.

So every two weeks my daughters and I (ages 12/8) eat at a different pizza place and rate it out of 10 so we can find our favorite pizza in New Orleans. With Theo's in our sights ,we had high hopes as we've heard from family and friends of the great pizza. We order the same pizza everywhere we go to give a competitive rating. (Pepperoni pizza). Theo's Neighborhood pizza did not disappoint, with a large pep pizza destroyed in minutes. The cheese pull was perfect, great spread of meat across the pie. It was a bit more greasy than we would prefer and the bottom was a little on the floppy side but overall a great pizza. Overall rating: 8.4

We put in a mobile order and it was ready very quickly. That unfortunately was the highlight. We ordered a Greek salad and it was fresh but the Anaheim peppers are a weird choice, usually reserved for Mexican dishes. We also ordered a pizza half cheese and half pepperoni. The crust was generic and judging from the melt, the cheese used is pre shredded using an anti caking agent that gives it a weird texture. Last we ordered the Thai wings. They were soggy, no crisp, and fatty as they come. We ordered well done and they were anything but. After biting into a few and still seeing yellow fat, we knew these were undercooked. These were the biggest disappointment. I wasn't expecting much from New Orleans pizza and Theos still under delivered.

Wow theo's what happened went here today ordered a large pepperoni pizza with sausage on half.The entire pizza was covered with sausage instead of just half pizza was burned marinara sauce was sour no cheese and only one slice of pepperoni on each slice just plain nasty we also had six chicken wings two drinks forty dollars without the tip the entire staff is completely different do not go to this location you will be sorry. We were customers here for years it's so sad to watch it go down so bad.Mr. Jim's pizza on Williams much better or Godfathers!

Definitely my go to pizza place. I think the pepperoni pizza is perfect. We also get the bacon and blue cheese which is very good also. The staff is nice.

Love this place! I'm not a big pizza person but for some reason I love theirs. They're salads are great also and for the size and price it's better than anywhere else in this area to get a salad! We also love their wings! Okay so everything's good! haha

DELIVERY ORDER: Hot wing Wednesday...with a side of pizza. Keeping with the them of supporting local businesses..my lazy a$$ ordered delivery from this place which is probably less than a mile away. Lol. I ordered 6pc hot wings and a small pizza. They use Chow how ordering service online and it was easy enough to use. The wings had a good smoky flavor. The pizza was pretty fantastic. I had the Jammers "o" riginal which comes with goat cheese, banana peppers, Canadian bacon and sauce. It was a nice change from a regular ole supreme. I honestly only have 1 small gripe..I personally think the price for a small pizza is pretty high..when i got the box I thght the driver was giving me the wrong order. Lol. It was delicious enough to get again but I wait until I have second person over to get the large..for a few dollars more you will get a reg sized pizza.

I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza & Theo's has the best pizza in town. The staff always greets you with a smile and you can tell that they're happy to be there. Fantastic service along with having the best pizza in town. I highly recommend you checking them out, if you haven't already....especially the one in Harahan.

Parking was ample. Place was clean. Temp was ok not too cold or hot. Pizza was amazing at this location. The service towards me and my family was a little sketchy. They messed up our order then began to act weird after offering to make it right and then got in a huddle only to come to our table to tell us we needed to pay for the missing pizza which was what we were trying to do in the first place. I just felt uncomfortable. This location is not as welcoming as the uptown location to minorities. Minorities enter at your own risk. I want to spend my hard earned $$ where customer service is first. No matter how good the pizza was I will not return.

a little slow on service for the amount of staff and amount of customers, but worth the wait. I wouldn't recommend dining in if you're on a time crunch. atmosphere was nice. seated close to others but my table still felt private. The meatball sub was delicious and the price during a lunch special was perfect! will definitely go back.

This was my first visit to this location of the growing local pizza chain of Theo's and they are certainly one of my favorite pizza joints around the area. The thin crispy crust makes me a very happy eater. I enjoy the wide range of interesting combinations they offer. The Eccentric & the Spicy Mexican are two of my favorites but my usual fix is the Hippy with either chicken or meatballs added. I always get a side of their tasty marinara to dip my crust into; although often it isn't needed I still love the sauce and will just drink it! I also really like their meatball sub which is what I ate at this location and it was consistent with my good experiences at their other locations.

The pizza is good. Thin, crispy crust. The spinach salad is good. TURN THE CEILING FANS OFF!!! OMG, nobody wants to eat in a windstorm! Nobody wants wind blowing on their hot food making it cold!!! The fans blanket the room, there is no table where you can avoid them. Geez, this is "Restaurant 101".

The service and the pizza is always great. The wait, of course, can be a bit long - but it's FRESH. It's always worth the wait. They've been wonderful during the stay-at-home time period. Can't wait til I can go back and sit outside with my dog and enjoy a glass of wine with a slice of their seasonal pizza of the month! Can't believe I haven't written a review here before. We go at least once every two months. I really appreciate the variety of sauces, toppings, and seasonal options. They have the best white sauce pizza options, as well as the best vegetarian options, for miles around. Not that you can ever have enough of their pizza, but if you're looking for something different or a great side, their salads are fresh and delicious! A personal pizza and large salad feeds me twice. Which reminds me of how much I miss being able to go midday for their amazingly priced lunch deal when I worked closer to Elmwood. Sitting outside on a lunch break (or shopping while they made my order) was a great lunch break. Now that I don't work as close, I still stop in on weekends to sit outside with my pups (when I could). Can't wait to do that again! Their pick up service has been great though through this stay at home.

Theo's has never disappointed us. Service is great, and the pizza rocks. My favorite is bacon and blue cheese. The pizza crusts are thin and crispy, and the veggies are fresh. They have beer on tap and wine. Since everything is made to order you should plan on at least 45 minutes from order time to walking out the door if you are eating in.

Close to the hotel, 2 minutes away. Great spot. Friendly staff, prompt service. Great wings! Great draft beer options as well!

I had lunch here today with 4 other moms and 9 kids. They got every order right!!! The place was busy, but didn't feel crazy. The line to order moved very quickly and the cashier was very pleasant. Their lunch special is a one topping pizza or a sandwich and each comes with a drink for $8. The pizzas are 10" - more than my daughter could eat, so she had leftovers. She chose pepperoni as her topping and her pizza was delicious. I had the fresh mozzarella on rosemary focaccia sandwich. They add tomato and basil if you'd like - and for real? - of course I like! It was sooooo tasty. The bread was really crispy and crusty on the ends and the cheese was all melty, but still firm. Big slices of fresh mozzarella! I ate the whole thing. Way too quickly. I'll be back.

This is a local chain restaurant that has great service at every location I have been to. There is plenty of parking in front. You walk in, go to the counter and order. They have a rotating pizza of the month. After placing and paying for your order, take the order placard they hand you and have a seat. They will bring your food to you. They do serve beer, and soft drinks. The restaurant is neat and clean, as is the restroom (I did not get a chance to snap any pictures, it was a single stall and someone was waiting to come in). I do like this location. The staff is friendly. There is some outdoor seating, and there is more than enough seating inside. I usually go for the pizza of the month or the blue cheese and bacon pizza.

I think most of us who are familiar with New Orleans Pizza joints are familiar with Theo's. It's a good place to eat, a bit quirky with it's decor and Miss Cleo table markers, and typically it's not TOO crowded. My boyfriend and I were shopping in the Elmwood area and we stopped by because I knew they had gluten free options. The pizza was good, service a little slow, and the place was clean, but here is my complaint. This location charges $4.25 extra for a gluten free crust! I know being gluten free is the fad diet now and they are trying to cash in on the trend, but for gluten free eaters like myself who would do ANYTHING to be able to eat a bowl of spaghetti (or even a crouton!) without consequence, this is extremely frustrating. I ended up paying $15 for a basic Margherita pizza with no meat that is usually $10. I understand that the ingredients to make quality gluten free food is expensive. Trust me, I have to buy them every time I go to the grocery. But, come on. Charge something reasonable, like the $1 or $2. This is the first time I've been to this particular location, but I know last time I went to the Magazine location, they didn't charge that much. I still give Theo's three stars because even though I was annoyed by the price hike, the pizza is still tasty and the gluten free crust is nice and crispy.

Two stars seems a little negative, but...meh, I've had better. The first time I went to Theo's (I forget which location), it was a peak time on a Friday night. The place was packed, and we realized that we probably would not get a table after we ordered. Regulars know to have someone claim a table while someone orders. But, we hadn't been before, so we wanted to read the menu and discuss options, and not lose our place in line, and we didn't want to have to fight for a chair, after we ordered, or worse, order and then not get a table, so we left. Just not a system I like for dinner. So today, I went to the Elmwood location for lunch--just after the lunch rush. I ordered the meatball sandwich, which took a little longer than I expected, considering the place was not super busy. When it arrived, the sandwich looked great--it just looked like a good, full, well made sandwich. Except....(this is a pet peeve) you really couldn't eat it as a sandwich. It was packed with full-sized meatballs. No skimping here. But...it's a sandwich. On French bread. With full-sized meatballs. I dare you to pick it up and take a bite out of it. Take those meatballs and cut them in half before you put them on the bread. Really--you could actually use fewer meatballs and make a more eatable sandwich. So I took a meatball off of each half and put them on my plate, and cut up the other meatballs on the sandwich so I could pick it up and enjoy the sandwich experience: good bread with good meatballs. Well, actually, these meatballs were just "okay". They were tough enough that I wished I had a steak knife to cut them. They weren't rubber, but they were a little tough. The flavor was "meh, I've had better", but not bad. By no means was this a bad meal. But by no means was it an above average meal. I LOVE meatball sandwiches, and I'm generally pretty easy to please with them. But, sorry Theo: Reginelli's is right around the corner, and their meatball sandwich tastes much better and I can pick it up and eat it. Would I say "don't go there"? No. Will I go back? Probably not.

Service was good. The Meathead Pizza was very salty. I didn't like the dough either. It was hard... or maybe the pizza was in the oven too long,idk.

Great visit with a group tonight. Kids got cheese pizza, adults had margherita and the andouille/Anaheim pepper September special (second time we've had it this month. Great food, reasonably priced, good service.

Very good pizza and amazing staff. One of the members of the staff us a cookie (we paid of course). 13/10 would recommend for pizza lovers

1st experience here for lunch was great. Good pizza, good salad, good service. They have the good crunchy ice and coke products. 2nd experience here for dinner was not good. It took about 35 mins for just a salad to come out. When I went for lunch, salad was out in 7 mins and pizza in 20. Romano salad dressing is excellent. Don't care for the prickly jam vinaigrette. Pizza is thin and crispy.

Theo's is one of my boyfriend and I's favorite places to eat. First off, don't order anything else before you order the ranch. It's seriously what keeps us coming back... It's THAT good! (Can you start selling it Theo's?!). We love the cheesy bread and the thin crust and cheesy pizza. I also love their salads... Again ranch!! The salads are big enough that you can split and make side salads if you want. It's a laid back environment and good for kids. FYI- On Wednesday's they have half off bottles of wine!

Great pizza and cheesey bread service was awesome even though they were slammed great wine and beer selection as well

Have been here many times and truly enjoyed it every visit. The ceasar salad is awesome, especially with all the cheese they put on it. Most of the time we get the meathead pizza which has all the meats plus bacon. You can't go wrong with this one. Great service and the wait staff are always attentive. Go on Tuesday, draft beer is only $1.50.

Food is good quality. What you expect from a dine in pizza restaurant. Favorite is the house salad. Home made dressing are a bonus.

The best pizza and salad I've eaten in a long time!! The crust thin, the sauce delicious, the toppings great. The Greek salad was really good too. Love this little spot. I will be back

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PIZZA!! Barbecue pizza is to die for! Awesome customer service. If I didn't spend all my money at the casino, I would of spent it here! I could eat here all day long!

This pizza is phenomenal, anytime I think of pizza in New Orleans this is the first one to come to mind. They have such a wide variety of special pizzas and the staff is so helpful

Went last night. This place is consistently serving great, fresh to Oder food but I usually get take out. Tonight we dined in and we're so pleased with our experience. The staff was very professional and wore their masks properly and the entire time. The place was well placed and clean. The food was delicious!!!!

I was out in Elmwood when I decided that a takeout pizza was just the thing to make the rest of my evening. And since I'm a big fan of the other Theo's locations, I stopped in. This is definitely the largest of the Theo's and if I had a big group, to dine in, then I might trek out to Elmwood instead of to my closer uptown location. The staff was courteous and professional. The menu seems to be the same at all 3 locations (although I would guess the specials might be unique to location). I'm a big fan of their crust which is thin and crackery like.

Perfect place to stop and grab some delicious pizza that's not "fast food" or "delivery" style. Restaurant has a good vibe and feel and all of the employees are in a good mood and are friendly. We try to get something different every time we go. This go round, my daughter got plain cheese pizza, and I got Canadian bacon with pineapple. Both were good. :)

Oh dear... This place is so terrible. I waited about 10 minutes to order (you order at the counter, take a "number", and sit down.) I ordered the breadsticks ($4.50) and a small meathead pizza ($16.25)... The breadsticks tasted like the frozen breadsticks you can buy at Sam's. They literally just cut open the top of the breadstick and stick some cheese on top. Think of a hotdog bun with melted mozzarella cheese and garlic powder. The pizza had a lot of meat, but yet again, the pizza dough itself was relatively thin. It also tasted like frozen or precooked dough. Would not come back.

I love the Theo's in Mid-City and I like this new one in Harahan. It's part of a major new set of strip malls off of Clearview Prky towards the Huey Long bridge, and the owners did a good job of creating a pleasant and inviting environment within the somewhat bland outer shell of the new development. This one works just like the other one; you order your meal at the counter and then take a personalized placard to your table for the server to identify once your meal is ready. Today, Darth Vader helped our pizza make it's way to the table. The thin crust pizza they serve is good. I usually get a simple cheese and pepperoni pizza, but sometimes venture out to the blue cheese and bacon pie... its awesome! I also like to get the jalapeno cheesy bread for an appetizer. Its really spicy, but I love the flavors. BOTTOM LINE: Theo's is one of the better pizza chains in the NOLA area. I am never disappointed.

Neat place to have lunch or early dinner... great staff.... great customer satisfaction.... even when you have broken chips (which are pet peeve of mines)... they make sure you are satisfied. I would certainly recommend Theo's for a reasonable meal at great price. One of my favorite places since moving to NO. My main location is Metairie.

Theo's has great pizza - thin crispy crust. Lots of specialty pizzas ranging from your typical pepperoni to everything but the kitchen zink. I find the ingredients to be fresh and very good quality. One of the servers told me they get their bread from La Louisiane bakery...thought that was cool. Salads are great too and big enough to share. I would pass on the wings next time.

Came here a week ago because we notice the sign for beer. Every Tuesday they have $1.50 draught beer, not just regular ole beer, we're talking good beer. Not only is it good beer, it's super cold. You can't beat that!! We came back a week later to try the pizza and of course take advantage of $1.50 beer again. The pizza was amazing. The crust was nice and crispy. The ingredients tasted super fresh. The marinara was not over powering. The atmosphere is great, however it can get a bit crowded as it is not a big place. The wait staff are friendly, helpful, and on top of things. Love that instead of table numbers you get a picture of a celebrity. Makes for a nice conversation piece. We also had the Thai wings which were very tasty! This is definitely a new regular place for us. Can't give Theo's any less than 5 stars.

Small Caesar salad was $8...and the one topping lunch pizza deal is $8 and comes with a drink. The salad was ok....too much salad dressing and an abundance of shaved Parmesan. I came with my work team to celebrate our intern starting for the summer. I won't return until my work team decides to go again. Nothing stood out. Service was mediocre at best. If you're looking for a quick pizza fix at lunch then Theos is your place. Otherwise save your money for better spots like Blaze Pizza....

I don't the big deal about Theo's. I've had it at the original Magazine location a few times and was never impressed. Got a small Margherita pizza today from the Elmwood location and it was pretty bad. A margherita pizza is supposed to be light and refreshing and look like the Italian flag. This one was heavy, overcooked, over sauced and gross. I think the reason I gave Theo's another chance is because just last night I was with some friends and they were raving about Theo's. I guess we have different opinions on good pizza.

I called to order a salad to go and the phone was not answered..... when I entered the restaurant I showed the associate I was calling and asked if the number showed on my phone was correct. The male associate said ...oh is that you calling on the phone and sure enough it WAS. The associate the said sorry I was on the phone and couldn't answer. I have never called anywhere and not had someone answer ask as me to hold. Very frustrating. The salad took 30 min !!!!! More frustrated !!!! The good news is the gentleman who took my order who faulted the kitchen with not preparing my order spoke with his manager, she immediately approached me and offered a refund for my salad and turned a negative experience into a not so bad experience after all. This location has a great manager And knows how to right a wrong

This is my Saturday Solo Date Place. The seating is perfect for solo outings and their 10' is the perfect size for one. Atmosphere. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Never have a seating issue, shouldn't have any issues. Good location also for family outings. Food. I normally go with the Meatdown, which includes mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, and bacon. It's very tasty on a thin crust and surprisingly very light. I never fill miserable after overindulging in pizza here. Parking situation is good. Off street, lot parking so you shouldn't have any issues finding parking.

I ordered a 10" pizza that's on their menu but changed it a bit since I can't eat onions and bell peppers. When I picked it up, the young lady came out with two boxes. I was surprised and prepared to say, "That's not my order." Before I could say anything she said, "I made an extra pizza because the first one was a bit overdone." I thanked her, told her that wasn't necessary and went on my way. When I got home, we checked the pizzas - the overdone pizza was a bit crispy and browner than usual, but was quite edible. The pizzas were yummy! I love that they use fresh ingredients - it definitely makes a difference. This is the kind of customer service every restaurant should have - I'll definitely return and tell everyone I know about this most positive experience! Bravo, Theo's! Well done (no pun intended!).

Theo's goes suburbia! It's Located in the super, colosial, all things chain, new part of the Elmwood shopping center. That's not so bad per se. It's easier to bring the munchkins here than try to park on Magazine or Canal boulevard. (I of course like those places better but listening to 2 Tween girls bitch about having to walk 2 blocks gets old) Not to mentions Theo's is a local chain so that's also a good thing. I am also glad that they kept the whole pop culture markers when ordering thing. Last time we were given The Macho Man Randy Savage. OOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEAH!!! Snap into a Slim Jim! To me pizza should be simple. I'm not big on 4 thousand toppings or trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to pizza. If a pizza joint's cheese pizza isn't good by itself then I think that says something about the place. With that being said, I find Theo's cheese pizza just ok. I like my crust thin and crispy. Theo's get's the thin part right but there are none of those slightly chared pieces that I think are needed to make a pizza perfect. Theo's does have a big selction of crazy toppings pizza's and the few that I have had were pretty tasty. I had the 'West Bank Special' last time. It comes with bacon, chicken, roasted red peppers, jalepenos, and pineapple. Again it was pretty good. There are quite a few beers and wines to choice from , a few salads and sandwiches as well. I'm sure we'll be back a lot since my ex-wife lives in Metairie and I am always there with the munchkins.

Highway robbery ! The small is only 6 slices and it's 16 dollars!!!! The bigger size is only 8 slices and that's like $20!!! You have got to be kidding me. The small is literally a personal size pizza. 10inch pizza. That's absolutely ridiculous. The pizza we got was salty and small as hell and hard. Not worth the money at all. Won't be back

Best pizza and wings. The salads are good if you're dieting. Great service and friendly staff.

They completely messed up my order and tried to blame it on me. I waited and waited and then realized they hadn't even started it. I Will not go back.

This is one of my go-to pizza places, and for good reason. The pizzas here are pretty broad in spectrum ranging from meat heavy to vegetarian. Their are plenty of different sauces to choose from and the crust is thin and crispy but airy at the same time. The employees here are friendly and manage to get the pizzas out relatively quickly. Wash it all down with a cold beer or glass of wine after a day of shopping and you should be satisfied.
