Bonci (pronounced Bahn-chi) Pizzeria is coming to New Orleans.

Get ready for pizza unlike any you may have ever had. Bonci, which is based in Rome and comes from renowned pizza artisan genius Gabriele Bonci, currently operates two U.S, restaurants, both in Chicago.

Bonci is known for using locally sourced fresh ingredients for toppings, which change daily, on specialty crafted pies of “focaccia-style crust cut with scissors.” The new pizzeria is moving into the Warehouse District’s upcoming mixed-used development, The Julia at Saint Charles, set to open in spring of 2019. It will join True Food Kitchen, a health food chain restaurant from Oprah, at the development. Opening: Spring 2019
