No one’s ordering pizza in Shreveport for a white-tablecloth experience—they’re chasing that perfect, late-night slice where the cheese stretches like taffy and the crust crackles under your teeth. Whether you’re fueling up after a night out or just craving something that doesn’t require a reservation, these are the pies worth staying up for.
Cicis Pizza
$ | (318) 798-6151 | WEBSITE
Open for years in Shreveport, Cicis Pizza is a local favorite that serves quality pizza and a tempting buffet at their convenient Louisiana location. But at their well-maintained spot, they dish out those pies all day long. Given its family-friendly setup, it’s not the best spot for a quiet date night, but if you’re feeding a hungry crowd or celebrating a kid’s birthday, their dessert pizza options are exactly what your sweet tooth craves. Plenty of parking.
Papa Johns Pizza
$ | (318) 688-7111 | WEBSITE
Papa Johns Pizza has locations all over Shreveport, but we love this chain because their pizza is consistently praised as the ‘best pizza’ customers have ever had, and it’s the kind of food we want to eat after a long day in the city. The pizza is the specialty, but definitely make sure you experience the friendly and helpful staff who ensure any minor issues are quickly resolved.
This is an ideal spot when you’re looking for a great dining experience with attention to detail and excellent service.
Pizza Hut
$$ | (318) 675-1426 | WEBSITE
Pizza Hut gets overlooked a lot because it’s a chain restaurant in a city with growing local pizza options, and because the name sounds like what we called our middle school cafeteria. But they’re open until midnight most nights, and have a “Super Supreme” pizza that’s consistently well-cooked with their original crust, for around $18.
If you’re there during busy hours – maybe after leaving the nearby shopping center – get the gluten-free salad with their house dressings, which has fresh vegetables and vegetarian options.
Domino’s Pizza
$ | (318) 688-5730 | WEBSITE
Domino’s Pizza opened in Shreveport in 1985, making it a staple in its own right – no matter how objectively predictable the pizza is. Come to this reliable chain after the game gets out on the weekend and expect a flurry of delivery cars. Come at any other point during the week and expect some of the fastest service in town. Everybody’s ordering large boxes of pepperoni and cheese and grumbling about the better deals – even you. This is a great place to head after a late movie at the mall.
Rotolo’s Craft & Crust
$ | (318) 220-8392 | WEBSITE
Some of the spots on this list have pizza that tastes great no matter what kind of day you’re having. Rotolo’s Craft & Crust is not one of them. This popular Shreveport pizza joint is where you go when it’s Saturday afternoon, you just finished running errands, and you need something in your stomach if you have any hope of getting through the rest of the weekend.
Our order is usually the Krewe calzone, a vegan pizza slice, and the largest Big Apple specialty pizza the server can carry, customized without the ricotta cheese to suit our preferences.
Newk’s Eatery
$$ | (318) 797-2520 | WEBSITE
Newk’s Eatery is a Shreveport staple and one of the only spots in town that’s perfect for a quick, reliable meal any time of day. Stepping into this clean, bright space during the lunch rush is like walking into a bustling neighborhood café where everyone knows the drill. Expect office workers grabbing the mushroom pesto sandwich and tomato basil soup combo, families sharing pizzas and chicken salad sandwiches, and regulars sipping Splenda-sweetened tea while checking their phones.
Get the Blue Cheese Steak Salad and Soup Combo.
St. Laurent Pizza
$ | (318) 562-3190 | WEBSITE
In no world does St. Laurent’s pizza compare to that of New York’s finest, but that hardly matters when you walk into this Shreveport staple on a Friday night. Because the entire neighborhood is here. You’ll see families celebrating birthdays next to groups of friends sharing pitchers, and kids running between the arcade games and the thematic pizza stand made from reused materials. It’s a complete scene, and also a local tradition.
And if you feel like you have one more slice in you, head back for the Carnivore pizza, the pie that’s every bit as satisfying as you’d hope.
Little Caesars Pizza
$ | (318) 670-3756 | WEBSITE
Little Caesars Pizza earns its spot as one of Shreveport’s best pizza joints that everyone overlooks for a quick bite. This no-frills spot delivers exactly what you need when you’re craving pizza fast. We always go for the Italian cheese bread loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, and black olives, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of their pies. The staff keeps things moving smoothly even when the place gets busy, and the whole experience feels straightforward and satisfying.
It’s the kind of place you remember exists when you’re in a pinch, and it never disappoints.
Roma Italian Bistro – Shreveport, Louisiana
$ | (318) 666-6810 | WEBSITE
Roma Italian Bistro is a classic Italian spot in Shreveport with a full menu of excellent pizzas and authentic Italian dishes, but everyone is here for one thing – the pizza. It’s a perfectly baked crust topped with fresh ingredients, savory sauce, and generous portions of cheese that melts in your mouth. It’s a remarkable dish, and one that pairs perfectly with their wings. Be sure to bring some friends along, no matter what time you decide to go.
Smitty’s Pizza
$ | (318) 687-3030 | WEBSITE
This south Shreveport spot serves the kind of phenomenal-crust pizza and generous-topped pies that taste good any time of day. That said, they taste best after a long week when you’re craving something fresh and delicious in a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. If you’re really hungry, go for the Hick Chick, but otherwise, the classic pizza and clean salad bar are both tasty and easy to enjoy while you sit back and unwind.
