What happens when a taco salad and a quesadilla have a kid, with nachos as the proud grandparents?
You get Felipe’s new Mexican Pizza.
This 10-inch creation takes some of the best parts of your Felipe’s favorites and brings them together in one seriously satisfying entrée. It is crunchy, cheesy, fully customizable and ready to be made your way.
The new Mexican Pizza is available for a limited time at all six Felipe’s Taqueria restaurants in New Orleans, Metairie and Naples. That includes Uptown, Mid-City, the French Quarter, Metairie Road, Park Shore Plaza and Logan Landings.
If you love Felipe’s tacos, quesadillas, nachos or taco salads, it may be time to think outside the burrito.
Felipe’s Mexican Pizza starts with a 10-inch crunchy tortilla base. We layer it with refried beans, an open-faced quesadilla and our house-made Mexican Pizza sauce.
From there, the pizza becomes yours.
Choose your favorite protein and finish it with the same scratch-made ingredients you already love at Felipe’s. You can keep it simple, load it up or try a new combination every time you visit.
That make-it-your-way approach is one of the things that makes Felipe’s different. We prepare our ingredients in small batches throughout the day, giving guests the freedom to build an entrée that fits their tastes.
The Mexican Pizza may be new, but the ability to customize every bite is pure Felipe’s.
There is no single right way to build a Felipe’s Mexican Pizza.
Start by choosing your protein. Go with a longtime favorite, try something new or skip the meat and create your own vegetarian combination. Then add the toppings, sauces and extras that make it yours.
Want something fresh and colorful? Add pico.
Looking for a sweet and savory protein with plenty of flavor? Try al pastor.
Need a creamy finishing touch? Drizzle on Baja sauce.
Want guacamole? Go for it. Guac is not extra at Felipe’s.
Every guest can turn the same Mexican Pizza base into a completely different meal. One pizza can be fresh and simple, while the next can be loaded with protein, salsa, vegetables and sauce. That flexibility makes it a great choice for longtime Felipe’s fans and first-time guests alike.
Not sure where to start? Our team has a few suggestions.
Pico goes great on pizza.
The tomatoes, onions, cilantro and citrus add freshness and texture to the cheesy, crunchy base. Pico helps balance the richness of the refried beans and melted cheese while adding bright flavor to every bite.
If you are looking for an easy topping that works with nearly any protein, pico is a great place to start.
Al pastor is a guest favorite for a reason.
Its sweet, savory and seasoned flavor is an excellent match for the Mexican Pizza’s crunchy tortilla, refried beans, cheese and house-made sauce. It adds plenty of personality without covering up the other ingredients.
For a Felipe’s team favorite, start with al pastor, add pico and finish it with your favorite salsa or sauce.
You can never go wrong with Baja sauce.
The creamy sauce brings all the layers together and gives the pizza a smooth, flavorful finish. Add a drizzle across the top or ask for it on the side for dipping.
Baja sauce works especially well with pico, guacamole and nearly any protein. If you like the flavor of Felipe’s popular Baja Style Tacos, you already know how much this sauce can add to an entrée.
A Mexican Pizza deserves guacamole, and at Felipe’s, guac is not extra.
Add it to the top for a cool, creamy contrast to the warm cheese, beans and sauce. It also pairs perfectly with pico, al pastor and Baja sauce.
That combination gives you freshness, creaminess, a little sweetness and plenty of Felipe’s flavor in every bite.
The answer is yes.
Like Felipe’s Nachos, the Mexican Pizza is a hefty portion. It is large enough to enjoy as a full meal, especially once you add your favorite protein and toppings.
It is also a great option to share as an appetizer.
Order one for the table, cut it into pieces and let everyone grab a slice while deciding on tacos, burritos, quesadillas or margaritas. It is an easy way for a group to try Felipe’s newest menu item without giving up their individual favorites.
Of course, sharing is optional.
If you want the entire pizza for yourself, we completely understand.
A Mexican Pizza and a Felipe’s Margarita make a pretty great team.
Pair your pizza with one of our hand-squeezed Key Lime Margaritas on the rocks, or cool things down with a Frozen Margarita made with freshly squeezed citrus. The bright citrus flavors help balance the cheese, beans, sauce and protein.
You can also pair it with a house-made agua fresca, Mexican Coke, iced tea or your favorite soft drink.
If you are sharing the pizza as an appetizer, add chips, salsa, queso or guacamole and turn the table into a full Felipe’s experience.
