On The Greaux – The building boom continues in Lafayette

Finally, the first tenant in the new shopping center at Pinhook and Kaliste Saloon has opened. Pizzeria Venti is a pizza-by-the-slice chain that is a welcome non fast food / plate lunch spot in the neighborhood.

The pizza is served in rectangles instead of the more traditional triangle, and about 15 varieties are offered. I went for lunch today and the pizza was pretty good. It’s between Papa John’s and Dean-o’s. My lunch companion had a walnut apple salad which she liked.

It looks like workers are building out neighboring spaces, but I’m not sure what will go in those spots.
