As explained on their website "Pizza Artista is a Louisiana-based company born out of a passion to provide world-class food and hospitality."

If you love pizza but are looking to kick it up a notch from the traditional pepperoni, cheese, or hamburger pies, then Pizza Artista is definitely the place you need to check out.

Sure, Pizza Artista, located at 5409 Johnston St in Lafayette, has the traditional pizzas mentioned above, and they're incredible, but they also boldly push the pizza envelope with deliciously original toppings as well.

From pizzaartista.com -

If traditional ingredients aren't enough, we also have available non-traditional ingredients such as these Louisiana Cajun favorites -- tasso, smoked cajun sausage, boudin, Gulf shrimp, Louisiana crawfish, crab, and more! There are literally thousands of combinations!

We were lucky enough to get to try three of Pizza Artista's most diabolically delicious creations and one top secret creation soon to be available to blow your tastebuds apart.
