Red Zeppelin Pizza mixes thin‑crust pies, generous toppings, and a relaxed, music‑heavy vibe that feels more like a neighborhood bar than a cookie‑cutter chain.
Located along Perkins Road, it has become an easy meeting point for locals who want to share a couple of specialty pizzas, grab a drink, and hang out before or after LSU games and events.
Why This Perkins Road Pizza Bar Has Such A Cult Following
The menu at Red Zeppelin goes far beyond plain cheese, covering signature pizzas, build‑your‑own combinations, calzones, salads, po’boys, and appetizers, so everyone at the table can land on something they actually want.
Crisp crusts and big flavor combinations keep the pies feeling satisfying without turning into heavy, doughy gut bombs.
If not everyone wants a whole pie, it’s easy to fill the table with salads, starters, and calzones alongside a couple of specialty pizzas from Red Zeppelin’s menu.
Shareable options like spinach and artichoke dip with pizza chips, jalapeño‑topped cheese bread, and wings help stretch the meal into more of a hangout.
Signature salads such as their Greek‑style and Caprese‑style options give lighter plates that still feel on theme with the rest of the menu at Red Zeppelin Pizza.
Calzones, oven‑roasted po’boys, and “Zepp‑wiches” made from the same dough and toppings as their pizzas give plenty of handheld choices if you’re not in a whole‑pie mood.
The Specialty Pies That Define Red Zeppelin Pizza
-
The Mothership Pizza: The Mothership Pizza is their loaded “everything” pie, stacking Italian sausage, pepperoni, ground beef, tri‑color peppers, mushrooms, green olives, red onions, and mozzarella over a classic red sauce so every slice feels like a full, old‑school supreme.
-
Meatza Pizza: If you want a meat‑lover’s experience, the Meatza Pizza piles pepperoni, sausage, ground meat, Canadian ham, and bacon onto that thin crust, giving you layered, salty, savory bites that still stay crisp instead of soggy.
-
Veggie Ya‑Ya Pizza: The Veggie Ya‑Ya Pizza is a fully loaded vegetable pie with mushrooms, black and green olives, roma tomatoes, tri‑colored peppers, red onions, and banana peppers over red sauce, making it a colorful, slightly spicy option that doesn’t feel like an afterthought for non‑meat eaters.
-
It’s All Greek To Me Pizza: For a lighter, Mediterranean‑leaning option, It’s All Greek To Me uses an olive oil and fresh garlic base topped with roma tomatoes, spinach, red onions, black olives, feta, and mozzarella with a sprinkle of oregano, giving you a tangy, herb‑forward pie that still delivers plenty of cheese.
-
Bayou‑Que Pizza: The Bayou‑Que Pizza leans into Southern barbecue flavors with chicken, crumbled bacon, red onions, and a blend of cheddar and mozzarella over barbecue sauce, perfect if you crave a smoky‑sweet BBQ chicken pizza with a little extra richness.
-
Whole Lotta Love Pizza: Whole Lotta Love combines chicken, spinach, red onions, sun‑dried tomatoes, mushrooms, feta, and mozzarella over an olive oil and garlic base, creating a rich but not overly saucy pie that feels like a cross between a white pizza and a Mediterranean specialty.
-
El Diablo Pizza: If you like heat, El Diablo swaps in enchilada sauce and layers on mozzarella and cheddar, ground beef, red onion, jalapeños, black olives, and diced roma tomatoes, with the option to add sour cream for a Tex‑Mex‑style kick.
-
Great Balls Of Fire Pizza: The Great Balls Of Fire Pizza tops sliced meatballs, jalapeños, red onions, mozzarella, cheddar, and feta over Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, living up to its name with a mix of smoky sweetness and real spice.
-
Bou‑Ray Pizza: A uniquely Louisiana option, the Bou‑Ray Pizza brings together alligator sausage, tasso ham, red onions, jalapeños, and mozzarella over boudin, so it eats like a Cajun‑inspired pie you’re unlikely to find anywhere else.
