There are some restaurants that have stood the test of time, and The Pizza Man of Covington is one of them. This family-friendly restaurant in Louisiana has been a time-honored tradition for countless families on the Northshore. Next time you find your self in St. Tammany Parish, make sure you swing by this iconic pizza joint. The kids will love it!
The Pizza Man of Covington has been around since 1976.
As one of the oldest pizza restaurants on the Northshore, you can bet you’re in for a delicious slice of pizza. It’s more than just a restaurant, though. It’s one of those eateries that sparks nostalgia for so many locals, myself included. I can’t tell you how many birthdays and special occasions from my life have been celebrated here.
It’s one of those restaurants that gets passed down from generation to generation. Parents who grew up coming here get to introduce their children to the Pizza Man just like their parents did for them.
Not much has changed in the restaurant’s 48 years, and that’s one of the reasons locals continue to dine at the Pizza Man.
Since I’ve been coming here since I was about five years old, I always cater to my inner child and stick with the traditional cheese pizza or a classic pepperoni, but you can go nuts with the toppings. Eggplant and yellow squash? Go for it. Shrimp and pineapple? I’m here for it.
One of the reasons The Pizza Man has become such a beloved family-friendly restaurant in Louisiana is the pizza window.
It’s almost like dinner and a show! They’ll have your kids cracking up with their silliness. Don’t be surprised if a pepperoni or two gets flung to the window!
Once your pizza makes its way into the oven, head back to your table to enjoy the melodies from the jukebox.
It won't be long before the pizza is ready and on your table!
