Pizza Platoon — Restaurant in Slidell

Update: Get the cheese crust pizza (you have to ask for it), the cauliflower crust contains brown rice flour and is NOT KETO.

One of my peeps on St.Tammany KETO Facebook Page mentioned Pizza Platoon in Slidell to me as having a Keto cauliflower crust pizza. Actually reached out on Facebook messenger to the business and ask them if it was true. They responded quickly that it was a personal size pizza and yes, they would make it to order. So I planned on making a stop after work one night.

This was it, and, oh, how have I lived without this place? Conveniently located in the Fremaux Mall, the green and white military-inspired logo is to the right of the first circle. As I walked in, I took note of the hours and that I had won a recent award. The next thing that caught my attention was the POW table. It touched my heart that they did that. The dining is casual, there is an assembly-line set-up that has been successful in many chain restaurants. But this is Veteran Owned and a portion of the proceeds go to military families in need. Throughout Pizza Platoon, there are photos of all branches represented. Gunny sgt patches, an arial shot of a fleet of aircraft carriers, a framed photo of a cockpit from a F16, a technical diagram of a 1943 M1 Abrams tank. It kept my interest until the pizza got there. There are also a few big screen TVs which I bet are great when the Saints games are on!

Hand-made by Gavin, and delivered with a smile, by Savanah. The customer service was excellent. The choices of vegetables, meats, cheeses and other were well thought out and easy to select Keto-friendly ingredients.

The portions are generous, for less than $20, I had a hot, tasty Keto pizza and could only eat half of it. Highly recommend for family, friends and sports teams...

I guess I’ll never know what the pizza is like at this point. Was going to give it a try because I see that they offer “vegan” cheese. So I called to ask about the crust & sauce but never made it to the sauce question. The young lady I initially spoke with over the phone honestly responded that she did not know if the crusts were vegan and that she would ask. The person that she asked seemed very bothered that someone was calling to inquire about whether or not the crusts were vegan. I didn’t ask about any ingredients or anything, just simply if any of the crusts were vegan because when you attempt to order online via the Waitr app, the Cauliflower crust is listed as “Contains Cheese”. I could hear the person yelling dramatically “Noooooooo” and a few other statements. I asked the person on the phone if the other person was upset and then she gave the phone to whomever was annoyed by my questions. When the 2nd lady got on the phone, I asked her the same thing, “are you upset that I’m asking about vegan options?”. She paused & then responded “no, I was confused about the question but we do have a cauliflower crust and our home made crust is not vegan”. I explained to her that the cauliflower crust is listed as “contains cheese” online. I just ended the call because her attitude and lack of professionalism was unnecessary. For the owners sake, he needs to hire better staff or train on proper...

I heard a lot about this spot so we had to check it out. The location is great, they have an end spot in the town centre so you don't have to try and figure out where they are.

The restaurant was clean. I did check out the restroom this time. Nothing fancy about this place, but it's a pizza joint right. I love how it sticks to the whole military theme with all the branches of service.

So we ordered the create your own pizza amd they make it right in front of you and the best part is you can put whatever you want on it and tbere is no extra charge if you want more then 2 toppongs...now that in itself is something to shout about!!!

Its small enough for you not to share and big enough for you not to eat the whole thing...well unless you're a big eaterand did I tell you it was delicious . And they pass it through the oven right tbere and it comes out by the register so when you're checking out...there it is!

The service was kinda bland...maybe they were tired from working all day I don't know. One young lady was bubbly, the other was a little impatient. It was our first time, we had a couple questions, her answers were short and she stared at me a few times...I behaved myself tho.

The guy that actually made my pizza was ...well lets just say the service was JUST OKAY.

HOWEVER, the pizza was delicious!

Mask? They didn't wear any And I don't remember if it was...
