  • Pizza Forno opens in New Orleans

    PizzaForno Brings Automated Pizzarias To New Orleans

    3 Min Read

    Do you love late-night pizza? New Orleans is getting an automated pizza service in some key locations around the city. The first installment opened in late September, with more to come.

    PizzaForno, one of the country’s only automated pizzerias that specializes in artisanal pizzas, says it is expanding to New Orleans with fully-operational locations.

    Where Will PizzaForno Pizzerias Be Located In New Orleans?

    The pizzerias will be at the following places around the Crescent City:

    • University of New Orleans (2101 Leon C Simon Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70122)
    • LSU Medical Center (433 Bolivar St 3rd Floor Nola, LA 70112)
    • New Orleans VA Medical Center (2400 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70119)

    Accessible 24/7 at the tap of a digital screen, this revolutionary brand with exclusive distribution rights offers a selection of innovative menu options, each made with top quality ingredients.

    “PizzaForno units are designed to fit perfectly in prime high-foot traffic areas, maximizing use of space with only 65 square feet and zero on-site labor,” stated master licensee, Miller Engelhardt. “As we continue to bring the future of pizza to New Orleans and expand across the state of Louisiana, potential licensees now have the chance to be one of the first to break into the registered U.S. markets.”

    Kicking off the ‘Pizza with a Purpose’ initiative in New Orleans, the local entrepreneurs will donate a percentage of sales one day a week, from each location indefinitely, to Team Fleur de Que and Hogs for The Cause, an organization that works with hospitals nationwide to create partnerships, funds and housing to mitigate financial burdens for all pediatric brain cancer diagnoses. All three of the licensees have been on the fundraising Team Fleur de Que for the last 8 years. As Herrington’s nephew passed away last year from pediatric brain cancer, Hogs for the Cause has special significance for the three founders.

    ‘Pizza with a Purpose,’ is the foundation for how PizzaForno selects licensees to join in on the development of their “Pizzaruption.” In addition to staying focused on purpose driven initiatives, they work with each of their local owners to identify opportunities to help support non-profit organizations within their community.

    Final Word

    New Orleans has one of the best restaurant scenes in the Southeast, including some of the top pizza places.

    When New Orleans’ food is mentioned on a national level, it somehow always reverts back to gumbo, which is the best around, although the city’s eateries certainly represent those dishes well, there’s so much more.

    The brewery — Saint X — and a barbecue eatery called Devil Moon BBQ will share a kitchen in the Odeon South Market building. The businesses are the handiwork of Shannon Bingham, who also runs the kitchen at  St. Roch Market food, his pop-ups Buttermilk and Emmylou’s BBQ.

    While Saint X and Devil Moon BBQ plan for their brick-and-mortar debuts, on the same day as the New Orleans Saints’ next two home games, Devil Moon BBQ latter is hosting a set of pop-ups in the parking lot next to the property. “We are officially opening in the fall” says Bingham, “but we didn’t want to miss the opportunities to celebrate and introduce our barbecue with fans and the local community. Stay tuned for an unveiling soon!”

    As for Brewery Saint X, you can expect freshly canned beer on the go as well as no fewer than 12 drafts and two casks to indulge in, according to the website.
