Take That, Gustav! Crescent Pie & Sausage Now Open
Posted by Ian McNulty on Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 9:01 PM
Jeff Baron and Bart Bell have opened their new restaurant Crescent Pie & Sausage Co. (4400 Banks St., 482-2426) next to their Mid-City breakfast and lunch joint Huevos (4408 Bank St., 482-6264).
- Plans for the restaurant suffered a most dramatic delay last year when Hurricane Gustav blew down the dilapidated, one-time appliance repair shop Baron and Bell were renovating for their new restaurant. Instead, they built a new structure, complete with wrap-around deck, where they're now serving a causal menu of gourmet pizzas and dishes drawing heavily on Bell's house-made sausages.
- Some dishes here may already be familiar to some thanks to the owners' frequent cooking appearances at festivals and other local events. Baron also owns the Dough Bowl (1039 Broadway, 861-2200 ), a pizza parlor practically on the Tulane campus, though the pizza style at Crescent Pie & Sausage is quite different. The Mediterranean pizza, for instance, has lamb sausage, baba ghanoush and mint crema.
- Crescent Pie & Sausage is open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, and the owners plan to add lunch hours soon.

Their menu looks excellent, and judging by the food at Huevos I'm sure it will be delicious. I just hope that they don't run Lazaro's, right across the street & connected to Banks Street Bar, out of business. We live nearby and we've turned many friends on to Lazaro's, who agree it's the best pizza they've had in this city. I just hope that the two are different enough that they can both thrive.
