Johnny’s Pizza – Quite the slice

Though still relatively new on the pizza scene in Baton Rouge, Johnny’s Pizza is a staple in north Louisiana, known for its rectangular-shaped slices that are almost all toppings and leave barely any room for doughy crust.

As someone born in West Monroe—around where the pizza chain got its start—I was always curious if the Capital City location, on the corner of Highland Road and Staring Lane, got it right and tastes like home. Thankfully, for this northerner, it does.

Because I’m an experienced customer, I usually skip most of the specialty pies. They aren’t bad, but a Johnny’s fan knows the Sweep the Kitchen is where it’s at.

Piled with 11 toppings (no, seriously), the slices fold under the weight of generous helpings of pepperoni, mushrooms, ham, black olives and more when you pick up a piece.

If all those toppings aren’t your style, you can’t miss with a 12-inch pepperoni and sausage. And if you’re itching to get home, Johnny’s offers build-your-own Take & Bake pizzas. johnnys-pizza.net
