What People Are Saying About Louie's

The Scene – On the grittier south end of Henderson Avenue, this tight, dark space has long been a haven for writers and public figures in search of a little anonymity. The exposed-brick walls are covered with a mishmash of old photos, beer signs, college pennants and penciled caricatures; terra-cotta tile and a pressed tin ceiling are nice touches. Regulars huddle over drinks at the bar, while a motley crew of diners--from casual couples to ladies on a night out--grab seats at beat-up tables and booths. – – The Draw – Louie's menu doesn't venture far beyond bar food…

A Great New Find !!

OMG, we sooooo just loved our first experience at Louie's. On the recommendation of a good friend, and of course, other Yelp reviews, BF and I have been dying to give Louie's a try, salivating over the thought of a Greek Salad and their acclaimed pizza.
We were not disappointed. Arrived around 1700 on Saturday and were promptly seated, and greeted by friendly server, Tiffany. She could have not been more attentive. Drinks arrived quickly, order taken and we settled back with our libations to enjoy the evening. And thus we did! The Greek Salad, which we split, was delicious; more than enough for two. The dressing was so tasty, could have licked my bowl.
Our pizza, with pepperoni, black olives, garlic, tomatoes & onions, was possibly some of the best pizza we have enjoyed anywhere. Typically, I am a fan of a thicker crust, but Louie's changed my mind. The crust....to die for! And a large was REALLY large. The sauce was soooo yummy, toppings were generous, and it came out piping hot. We took half of it back to our hotel for a late night snack. (We were staying at the Melrose for a quick getaway from our daily Dallas house routines!) Pizza was completely gone before midnight !! Almost even better cold!
Unlike several of other reviews, our service was outstanding; quick, efficient and very friendly. We were in and out under an hour and by the time we left, the place was packed with folks waiting at the door to be seated.
A wonderful first time experience and impression. Can't wait to make plans to venture out of North Dallas and go back to see Louie down South !!!!
- Pros: Best Pizza most anywhere & Greek Salad..yum
- Cons: Location - too far from my 'hood

Great place for a bad experience
by bdugg at Citysearch
This place has always been a risk. Every time I have been to Louies you are unsure if you will be mistreated or simply served. NEVER expect to be welcomed because this is definitely NOT cheers. I have been to Louies numerous times over the years and I have chosen never to eat there again. Occasionally we choose to order take out but still anxious that they will be a--holes. Like their food hate the place!
- Pros: Pizza and Ceasar Salad
- Cons: The attitude of employees

Domino's Pizza at 3 times the price

Louie's Pizza is a rip off joint that came up with some type of scheme to get reviews claiming they have the Best Pizza in Dallas, DON'T BELIEVE IT, we bought a "large" pepperoni, which was smaller that most medium pizzas and had about 10 pieces of pepperoni. You can also buy a can of domestic beer for 5 bucks while you wait 20 minutes past the time they tell you your pizza will be ready.
- Pros: Lesson learned
- Cons: Consession stand 1 topping pizza for 15 bucks
