Where to Get Authentic Neapolitan Pizza in North Louisiana

Shreveport foodies, prepare yourselves. If you haven't yet experienced the culinary magic happening at Frank's Pizza Napoletana, you're missing out on what might just be North Louisiana's best kept secret for authentic Italian flavors.

Stepping into Frank's, the aroma alone transports you straight to Naples. We started our feast not with pizza, but with a dish that has quickly become a local obsession: the Pot Roast Pappardelle. Imagine wide, house-made pasta noodles, perfectly al dente, swimming in a rich, red wine braised beef sauce, a soulful dish that melts in your mouth with every single bite.

But a trip to Frank's isn't complete without their pizza, and our main event was the legendary The Big Hurt.

This isn't just a pizza; it's a masterpiece. Loaded with an incredible array of meats,  braised pork, savory Italian sausage, mortadella, sopressata, coppa, and classic pepperoni, it's a carnivore's dream. Caramelized onions, vibrant red sauce, creamy fior di latte, Pecorino-Romano, and a whisper of chopped garlic in olive oil create a symphony of flavors. The final touch? A finish of Calabrian chiles that provides a perfect, lingering kick, elevating every single bite.

Just when you think you can't eat another bite, you realize dessert is calling. Frank's doesn't just stop at savory; their house-made gelato is a must-try, offering a refreshing, creamy end to the meal. And for those who prefer something a bit more classic, the Tiramisu is a showstopper, light, airy, and the quintessential Italian sweet treat.

From the first forkful of pasta to the last bite of tiramisu, Frank's Pizza Napoletana delivers an unforgettable dining experience. It's a true Shreveport gem that celebrates authentic Italian tradition with every dish. Frank's is located at 6950 Fern Ave., Shreveport, LA.
