Ancora Pizzeria New Orleans

Welp. You have until the end of the month for your @ancoranola fix.

The Freret Street font of Neapolitan pizza will close July 31 after 14+ years.

Ancora set a new standard for New Orleans pizza with its artisan approach to Neapolitan pies, and it helped contribute to a new era of Freret Street as a restaurant row.

“One of our priorities was building a neighborhood and community; I think we did that,” proprietor Bryn Thompson told me.

“We’ll go out with a bang, feed everyone one last time, and then move on and let someone else take over the space.”

Unknown as of yet what will come next for this spot, but there seems a high likelihood. It will use the 6000 pound wood burning oven that’s been the heart of the restaurant.
