Tower of Pizza Veterans Blvd Metairie - A Decent but Expensive Option

I recently had the chance to try out Tower of Pizza located on Veterans Blvd in Metairie, and while I'm glad I got to experience it, I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon. One of the things that stood out about this place is its classic Metairie charm - from the strip mall location to the 'seat yourself' atmosphere with tables and chairs.

The menu is also straightforward, with options ranging from pizza to salad and spaghetti. We went for the Tower Special, which came loaded with sausage, pepperoni, onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. While I appreciated the generous helping of cheese and large mushrooms, there were some drawbacks. The pepperoni was hidden under the cheese, so it didn't get a chance to crisp up in the oven.

Another issue we had was the lack of tea options - not even canned tea in the fridge for customers who might want it. And speaking of drinks, I was surprised to see that tea wasn't even listed on the menu.

In terms of value, $22 for our pizza was a bit steep for what we got. Theo's Pizza, another local spot right across the street, offers better prices and more options. While Tower of Pizza is a Metairie institution, there are definitely better choices out there.

Overall, Tower of Pizza Veterans Blvd in Metairie is a decent but expensive option for those looking for a classic pizza parlor experience. Just be prepared to pay a bit more for it.
