Oscar’s houses two great tastes under one roof

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, chances are you’re at Oscar’s. The new “ice cream and pizza joint” with the distinctive Georges Méličs-inspired sign has begun a quiet launch at its Perkins Road location, across the parking lot from Maxwell’s Market. Owned by brothers and Baton Rouge natives Jon and George Kilpatrick, the pizzeria offers flavors of pie unlike any other you’re likely to find. The brothers were inspired by the native tastes of Louisiana to create their unique pizza toppings. Pizzas like the D&A Gumbo, with duck, andouille and alligator sausages and roux-infused tomato gravy rather than marinara. There’s also the muffuletta pie, topped with olives, salami, ham and pepperoni. It’s gourmet pizza with distinctly southern flair. For the scoop on Oscar’s, click here. –Rachael Upton
