Take the Night Off by Ordering From Lafeyette’s Pizza Places

The Lafayette, Louisiana, area is well-known for its Cajun cuisine, but its excellent pizza is a close second. When you’re on the hunt for a delicious pizza, be sure to check out these top-notch pizzerias.

Dean-O’s Pizza

Dean-O’s Pizza is a local favorite that never disappoints. Since the pizzeria opened its doors in 1971, it has established itself as one of Lafayette’s best restaurants for feeding the whole family. Try any of their Cajun-style specialty pizzas on their signature thin crust, such as the spicy Cajun Executioner with hot sausage, spicy shrimp, and jalapenos, or the Marie Leveaux with mushrooms, onions, and specialty spices. If it’s a more interesting, more delicious pizza you’re looking for, you’ll find it at Dean-O’s.

Rochetto’s Pizzeria

The fun and tasty Rochetto’s Pizzeria is another pizza joint worth checking out if you’re tired of cookie-cutter pizza franchises. Start your dining experience off with an order of boudin cheese bread or fried ravioli before moving on to any of the Cajun-Italian hybrid specialties. We particularly enjoy the seafood etouffee pizza, which is topped with shrimp, crawfish, crabmeat, and onions and is served over the house etouffee. In addition to great pizzas, Rochetto’s also serves great pasta, salad, Italian sandwiches, and more.

Bread & Circus Provisions

The ever-hip Bread & Circus Provisions is where you need to go if you’re looking for a thoughtfully made, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. To find out if Bread & Circus is the real deal, try their margherita or Neapolitan pizzas, we’re sure they’ll be up to your standards. From there, experiment with some of the other interesting yet delicious options, such as the Norma with fried eggplant and burrata or the scamorza topped with San Marzano tomatoes, scamorza cheese, chorizo, and Sweety Drops. Those who enjoy good food need look no further than Bread & Circus Provisions.

Central Pizza & Bar

Central Pizza & Bar is an all-around great Italian restaurant, but it’s perhaps most well-known for its fantastic pizza. This pizzeria is one of our favorite places to spend time with friends thanks to its good food and pleasantly chic dining room. Any of their wood-fired pizzas should satisfy even the most discerning pizza aficionado. Try the Smoke Show for a spicy meat-and-pineapple pie or the simple Paulie with mozzarella, pepperoni, jalapenos, and honey. If you’re looking for white pizza, Central Pizza has an extensive selection to choose from.

Pizza Village

If you’re just trying to get a great family-style pizza, check out what PIzza Village has to offer. You’ll find plenty of classic game-day pizzas here, such as the Meat Eater and the Landry Special with pepperoni, hamburger, shrimp, and jalapenos. Get the Everything pizza, which has everything on it including anchovies, if you brought your appetite. Affordable and always delicious, Pizza Village should be on your speed dial.

Whether you’re looking for a simple, well-made pizza or one that’s loaded with interesting ingredients, there’s a pizza place in Lafayette for you. Explore each of these options to find your new favorite go-to spot when your pizza craving calls.
