Fresco Cafe and Pizzeria

Great neighborhood pizza place!
Service was smooth and everyone was very friendly. Not too busy for a Friday Night, which I enjoy when you can eat in a peaceful atmosphere!
Price was pretty solid, two drinks and a large pizza was less than $40!!
Pizza was very good, we got the spinach and artichoke it was very light and the dough was really good.
Overall, would recommend this place to any locals looking for an affordable pizza spot.

I am not a pizza person but I had this craving. (You know us woman and cravings;). Some coworkers recommended this place that stays open until 1am (night shift worker here, heyyy). Let. Me. Tell. You. Handclappp!!!!!! I ordered the spicy chicken pizza (it had roasted garlic, yum) and the spicy tomato dip (also, tons of garlic...my coworkers hate me hahah). Coworker ordered chocolate cake and the fresco Stromboli and she raved about it. I may have indigestion from hell tonight but IT WAS WORTH IT. Did I mention they delivered????

Food and service are great. I usually call in my order and they always do a great job. When I go in to get food the vibe is usually pretty low key although I imagine they do get busy because of the universities nearby.

Ordered delivery and everything was super fresh and still warm. The pep pizza was delicious. But, what stood out more to me was the tortellini ham & broccoli. It was damn good.

My son and I were in the garden district near Tulane and stopped for lunch on the patio at Fresco. We had been regulars years ago, so this was somewhat of a homecoming. Weather was great and I had a Fresco sandwich, which is sort of a chicken parmesan on French bread. Savory and huge! He had the crispy chicken salad, which was also excellent and generously portioned.
Service was prompt and friendly and we were well taken care of. Ice tea was good and our glasses were never empty. Although we had no appetizer, I saw a hummus pita plate that looked very good.
Ambience on the patio is casual and the whole place's decor and vibe is sorta NOLA retro distressed, in a good way! Prices are moderate. Fresco is recommended.

Uptown is loaded with lots of good restaurants. If you are in the area, and looking for Italian food...Fresco Cafe and Pizzeria is a solid option.

Three of us stopped in around 2:00 p.m. this past Saturday (August 20th, 2022). There was a decent crowd but still plenty of seating inside and out. The place is clean with an open concept. The vaulted ceiling and exposed wood beams give it a nice feel.

We started with hummus and warm pita points. We also ordered two 10" pizzas: one cheese and one bbq chicken. Everything was very good.

Service was friendly and swift. Prices were very reasonable. I look forward to trying some of their pasta dishes in the near future.

Seems like this place is really designed for the college demographic, which makes a lot of sense given its location. Service was a little spotty, and we had to pull the waiter over to our table so we could order. Its certainly nothing fancy, but a friend went to college in the area and was nostalgic for the portobello sandwich so we made the trip.

The stromboli was amazing. My biggest issue was that the spinach went in all as a layer so it would slip out. If it had been mixed in with the cheese a little more I think it would have been less likely to fall apart. Still, delicious and would go back for another one.

Because lunch, dinner, and a snack during the daytime is never enough for us, we ordered from Fresco late night during our stay in NOLA to top everything off for the day.

I could personally order pizza every day for a year probably but my GF is more civilized and on this particular occasion we decided to go the pasta route. We ordered pesto pasta, a veggie wrap, and spinach and feta triangles.

The pesto was tasty with a touch of cream in the sauce. The pasta could have been more al dente but ultimately I can never go wrong with pesto. Scattered roasted red pepper strips added some variety.

I adored the veggie wrap with hummus, roasted red peppers, roasted eggplant, baby spinach, kalamata olives, and feta which with the sundried tomato mayo was decadent and creamy and paired perfectly surrounded by a soft and warm pita. GF for some reason wasn't a fan which escapes my comprehension. I was way too stuffed to finish the whole thing which is a big regret for me.

The actual best dish of the meal was their spinach and feta triangles with sauteed spinach and feta cheese stuffed into phyllo dough. The filling was DELICIOUS and the dough was perfectly crisp. I would order these regularly if I lived in the area.

Very solid late night delivery spot.

The pizza box says the best pizza in New Orleans and it pretty much is. Their sandwiches are excellent, too, and huge. They also DO THEIR OWN DELIVERY which is amazeballs in this day and age and is always fast and friendly. I am so glad this place is in my neighborhood.

Ordered the Pesto pasta after seeing some positive reviews on yelp. Obviously must be dated.

Sauce is heavy, which is not a bad thing. However, it is painfully bland. If you're looking for a late night bite, your money is absolutely better spent elsewhere.
