I'm a thin-crust-cheap-slice-cheesy-hole-in-the-wall kind of pizza girl. One of my biggest pet peeves ever is when pizza joints don't offer slice pizza. Have you seen how big my stomach is...do you really think I could eat an entire pie? No, just no. Other than that tangent, here are the best places I've found for slice pizza in the Metro Atlanta area:
one. Fellini's (originally in Buckhead). The pizza place combines everything I love about pie spots: cheap, high quality, and delicious. A slice will be around $2, and they're pretty big. My favorite part of Fellini's (or Felines, as I thought it was called when I was young) is that you're given a framed postcard when you order so the server can bring it out to you. If you've ever been, you know that most of the post cards are random things. Fellini's wins for best atmosphere, hands down.
two. Rosa's (Five Points). This takes the prize for greasiest, but oh so delicious. I don't really want to know what goes on in the kitchen; I can only imagine based on the outward appearance. Therefore, it fails on atmosphere and health, but shines on taste.
three. Mellow Mushroom (originally in Druid Hills). I almost did not include Mellow on my list. Although I absolutely love the taste of the Shroom, they do not offer slices during dinner (it may be different for other stores, though). Besides that, their dough has been kissed by the gods.
four. Everybody's Pizza (Virginia Highlands). There are two locations for Everybody's, but I have only been to the one in ViHi. It's right in the middle of town, and boasts a great menu. It can get a little pricey, but the mini pizzas are a perfect size (they don't serve slices to my knowledge).
four and four quarters. Alessio's (Alpharetta). Alessio's is most "neighborhood" pizza place I know of. Though it's in Alpharetta, relinquishing all rights to best atmosphere (sorry to all die hard alphas), it's a cheap place to grab a slice. The rest of their menu isn't too shabby either. If you're in alpha town, it's a diamond in the rough.
Next up: I want to try Pie in the Sky in Kennesaw to see if it can beat some of these.
Anyone have any suggestions?
walked by everybody's the other day when i was in virginia highlands and totally would've gone if i didn't have other dinner plans.
ReplyDeletewhat about this really cool place where they serve a buffet of pizza...or you can get just one slice if you want? i think it's called...cici's.
haha. jk. i know you just vomited in your mouth a little bit :)
