There is a place down here is Lafayette, LA, called Mike Aleisi's AKA Aliesi's Pizza. The guy moved here from Sicily some 30-40 years ago and opened up a restaurant. Needless to say 30 years later there is an Olive Garden, Carrabas, Johnny Carrinos, and other generic Italian places and this little business is STILL the most packed place and hands down best. Even in Louisiana if you have an authentic Italian that can cook, they will take it to the big chain restaurants every time.
