Top 5 Pizza Spots in Atlanta
Atlanta's pizza scene is no joke. From wood-fired Neapolitan pies to giant foldable NY slices, the city has options that can go toe-to-toe with anywhere in the country. Here are five spots you need to know.
Varasano's Pizzeria
Jeff Varasano didn't just open a pizza spot — he did years of obsessive research before ever firing up an oven, and it shows. His thin-crust, long-fermented sourdough pies with fresh imported cheeses and a perfectly acidic tomato sauce set the standard in Atlanta when they opened in 2009 and still hold up today. Buckhead location or the airport — both are worth it.
Antico Pizza Napoletana
Antico is the spot that put serious Neapolitan pizza on Atlanta's map. Wood-fired, blistered, lively atmosphere — this is the kind of place where you walk in and immediately understand what the hype is about. The San Gennaro pizza alone has people making repeat trips. Michelin Bib Gourmand recognized, and honestly they could've gone higher.
Glide Pizza
If you're craving a New York slice in Atlanta, Glide is the answer. Located right off the BeltLine's Eastside Trail, this spot serves up giant, thin, crispy, foldable slices made with dough fermented for 48 hours. The hot honey burrata slice is the move. Great pizza, great people-watching — hard to beat that combo.
Dolo's
Dolo's has been building a loyal following one slice at a time. Known for bold flavors, generous toppings, and a personality that's purely Atlanta, this spot hits different. It's the kind of pizza joint that feels like it belongs to the neighborhood — and the neighborhood clearly feels the same way back.
Fellini's Pizza
Fellini's has been an Atlanta institution since 1982, and for good reason. Seven locations across the city, neon signs you can't miss, and NY-style slices that have been a comfort food staple for generations of Atlantans. Actor Brian Tyree Henry famously shouted them out during the filming of Atlanta — the man has taste. Classic, reliable, and pure ATL.

Fellini's Pizza: Atlanta's Slice of Perfection
Fellini's isn't just a pizza spot. It's a comfort zone. A community staple... and at prices that won't wreck your wallet, it's the kind of place you'll keep coming back to week after week.
If you haven't been to Fellini's Pizza, are you even an Atlantan? This beloved local chain has been serving up New York-style slices that hit every time. Big, fresh, and loaded with flavor... we're talking garlicky white pizza, classic combos, and everything in between. No gimmicks, no frills, just straight-up amazing pizza ordered at the counter the way it should be.
With seven locations spread across the city — Buckhead, Ponce de Leon, Howell Mill, Candler Park, Decatur, LaVista, and Roswell Rd — there's really no excuse not to go. Grab a slice, grab a cold beer, and post up on the patio. One of my best friends from New York has stamped this as Atlanta's #1 pizza spot
