Nola Mia Gelato Cafe
There are many words you could use to describe what we do, but one is more important to us than any other: Authentic. It all started with gelato, which meant going straight to the original source, so that's exactly what we did. We went to Northern Italy and met with gelato masters who had been developing their craft for generations, some for more than 200 years.

We built relationships and partnerships that gave us the ability to offer some the finest and oldest gelato ingredients available in Italy. When we brought that knowledge home, we empowered the classical North Italian techniques with modern technology to make gelato that was consistently perfect in every batch.

Great pizza, fantastic milk shake. A little expensive but well worth it. The gelato shakes are fantastic!! Service was also rather quick, which is always appreciated.

Best pizza, service, gelato, and espresso I have ever had. Authentic Italian pizza from an Italian owner.

The Gelato tasted like it was made of rubbing alcohol and it was bitter. We got 2 different types and both were unedited. The garlic knots were "ok", but the included marinara sauce tasted like canned Hines tomatoes sauce with zero flavor. Honestly disappointing. We've had better tasting sauce and bread at Little Ceasar's in a Midwestern small town if 4200 people. As a visitor we were incredibly disappointed and feel like we wasted our time and money. Also, the pizza that they were selling by the slice looked like it was fake and unappetizing.

Wife said the Mediterranean pizza as good. My Pepperoni was ok. Super good crust on both. They have great Italian ice. Would come back for sure

I have been ordering pizza exclusively from Nola Mia since they opened. I am a New Yorker and I miss the pizza from home. These guys nail it , I've never had a bad pizza and it's one of those that when you open the box, you get excited because it looks so perfect. I can't appreciate their work enough and I take joy in their talent. This is the must have Pizza of New Orleans.

Got a slice of supreme, was told I could get a slice of this other pizza that lacked onions and peppers but was otherwise "the same", it was not the same. Floppy. Friend got a veggie pizza slice and was also displeased. I tossed the remainder of my slice.

The gelato is ok.

Tasty pizza, great gelato and quality sandwiches make Nola Mia a superior choice when looking for great opportunities to eat in NOLA.

This is just for their gelato, cause we didn't try their pizza- but their gelato was below mediocre. It was the only ice cream shop open at night so we decided to drive down and try it out. For $6.50 for two scoops, the price is high, but that's fine. However, the gelato tasted stale and the texture was way too smooth. I hate giving small businesses less than 3 stars but we ended up throwing away 2/3 of the gelato cause it tasted so bad.

So I love the Sicilian pizza here... Hands down the best in Nola. I would also in small voice say that their Gelato beats Broccatos although Broccatos does have amazing cannoli and little fig cookies that I adore. Their thin crust pizza is good but not my favorite in the city. But I'll go back a thousand times for that Sicilian.

I had heard so much about the food at Nola Mia, I was excited to try it for lunch. My husband and I shared: a slice of pep pizza, a slice of supreme pizza, the capish sandwich, and then we each got gelato. Everything was good. My favorite thing was the pepperoni pizza- the crust was so light and crispy. The chocolate gelato is also really good!

One of the best pizzas I've found in the New Orleans area. I'm originally from the northeast, and I was recently lawyered about two new places: Nola Mia, and Zee's. I did a blind taste test to see which one I preferred, and it was Nola Mia. Looking forward to returning and trying the Grandma and Sicilian.

Ordered a calzone it was...Okay. it had been sitting there and they grab it and reheat it. Ummm not my favorite. How about you make it fresh, we weren't in a rush. The gelato was mediocre as well. Maybe we went on an off day but it was bland flavors, cotton candy , chocolate all sub par. The prices are WAY to high. A small calzone $7. Small gelato?? $4.50!!

This is truly a hidden gem! Some of the best pizza in New Orleans but no one talks about it. I'm fortunate to live a few blocks away and I enjoy their pizza several times a month.

The pizza here is some of the best in the city. Though the crust is a little too soft for my liking the toppings and cheese are superb. The slices could be a bit larger but overall its on par with some of the best pizza in Nola. The Pepperoni is a bit too oily so stay away the rest is delicious.

If you haven't ordered a Sicilian Pizza you are totally missing out. This is my second this week :)
My friend let me try a slice a few weeks ago at his place and I've been hooked since then! Seriously guys this is THE PIZZA you've been waiting for.

Sweet baby Jesus, get their pizza! It's OUTSTANDING!

We usually only go for the gelato, but tonight we picked up some pizza based off a rec from our neighbor who was a safe social distance away, and it HIT THE SPOT!!!

This place is a gem.

I moved to the city and neighborhood recently and have been on a desperate hunt for edible pizza. This place has coffee, pastries, bagels, paninis, a wide assortment of gelato, and ... Pizza!

The owner is from New York and understands the need for legitimate pizza. New Orleans is a desert when it comes to respectable pizza.

Though this pizza does fall into the NY slice category that's prevalent here, the slices are tastier. They're very thin, a bit greasy but not over the top, and crispy crust on the edge.

Slices are 2 for $5. They only have cheese and pepperoni

Nice variety of gelatos and my wife sampled the banana pudding milkshake. I opted for the peanut butter gelato which had streaks of strawberry jam running throughout.

Atmosphere was nice, inviting and surprising clean considering we came towards the end of the day. I liked how the tables had little center pieces as well.

Only complaints we had were that there were no cups for the complimentary water and the milkshake was perhaps ice-based and so there were chunks of unground ice here and there.
