About The Best Pizza in New Orleans

Fresco’s is a great place to visit with friends, enjoy fresh food and relax. Hang out on the patio or get some pizza to-go. We keep things hip, fresh and light and we keep our focus on fresh quality food with great diversity and variety. Everything is made to order – Steam Tables and Warmers are non-existent at Fresco’s.

From the pizza dough to the dressing, almost everything here is homemade. We also take pride in helping local non-profits raise money via in-store promotions and events.

Dine-In, Delivery, Outdoor Seating, or Take-Away –
we keep our service and food Fresh-O-Licious!

Here’s the scoop on Fresco’s history:

Fresco opened its doors in November of 2002 at 7625 Maple St, where Maple Gardens Restaurant used to be. It had also once been the location of the famous Amy’s Snowball Stand.

November 8, 2002 – First day at Fresco – Dining room service only

January 15, 2003 – Fresco starts delivery service

February 6, 2004 – Fresco starts late night hours until 3 A.M.

August 28, 2005 – Fresco closes at 10 P.M. after working with only volunteers for that day.

November 5, 2005 – On its almost-3rd birthday Fresco re-opens. Thanks to all of the caring employees who came back to help open.

January 8, 2006 – Fresco closes down for a day, just to give a break to its staff that had been working overtime  non-stop and short-handed to serve to the increased demand after Tulane and Loyola re-opened. The staff shortage gets a little bit better after 2 months.

February 13, 2007 – Tornadoes hit Maple Street. Fresco is spared with minimal damage.

2008: Everything is back to normal!

2012: We introduce a new look to Fresco. We updated our logo and our menu to add a few more family favorites.

Fresco is a family business, and it is a family of caring employees and customers. We plan to keep it that way.

Why is Fresco different?
Because we seek to be different: with the ingredients we choose, with the variety of tastes we put on our menu, with the wines we select – we always want to bring what’s highest quality, what’s exciting and what’s new.
