Pizza Quest- Atlanta

Still trying to find edible pizza in Atlanta... There are a couple solid options, and definitely more than a few duds, but none that rival the heavenly-ness of pizza from my Northeast homeland.

Finally, some good pizza in Atlanta!  Thin thin thin crust that was not soggy, great tomato sauce and cheese, with some basil leaves, on the margarita pizza.  Great flavor around with both the dough and the sauce...simple and fresh.  The pizzas are…More »

3 stars for the food & service, and 1 extra for the incredible happy hour deal(s)!  I had the grilled tilapia tacos, which were far from the best tacos I've ever had but were tasty nonetheless.  Not to mention that they inexplicably came with french…More »

Swoon... the little cup of garlic butter goodness that came with my cheese pizza was to die for....why had I not received this before?!?  Perfect for dipping the crust, or just covering the entire pizza slice with.

BTW, the pizza called "Sunshine"…More »

Pre-theater choice for restaurant- I went here before going to a show at the Fox Theater about a block away.  I sat at the lively bar, and got a delicious and generous-sized pizza- ham, artichokes, mushrooms, fontina cheese.  The bartender…More »

Tasty tomato sauce, good mozzarella, and chewy dough on the margarita pizza= good. However, I think my expectations were too high due to the raves & recommendations from friends.  I found the pizza & dough in need of salt and the dough & crust way…More »

What is it about places in Atlanta where you order at the counter and a giant line forms?  Do they make sure the slowest employee is the sole cashier during mealtimes?  And the line goes slower as kids in the dining area scream louder.

Pizza here is…More »

Trying to appease my violent craving for pizza, I hit up Fritti with too-high expectations for authentic napoli goodness.  I ordered an arugula, olive and fried goat cheese salad to start and the Funghi di bosco (mushroom) pizza.  The salad was…More »

Pizza-joint pizza here...it's sauce and cheese are alright but the dough/crust is pretty ack.  As in you bite into it and you say "ack".  A personal size small pizza (9") is $7...I just remember my old regular pizza place back in MA and the quality…More »

Recently updated lists from Lucy W.

Inman Park/Old 4th Ward (25)

Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward!  Trying out all the places near where I live...love this neighborhood.

Making myself pretty (or at the very least- not scary) (10)

I don't wake up looking like this...I gotta work at it.  OK, not "work" per se, more like "pay" for it.

Decatur (9)

Tons of great places to eat & imbibe...all within walking distance of a square.

Tastes of the Far East (20)

Asian restaurants in Atlanta- I'm slowly compiling reviews from all the Asian restaurants I've tried in Atlanta- Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc...no 5-stars yet but plenty of 2-3-4 star places.

Carbo Loading- Italian Style (Atlanta) (9)

Italian dining in Atlanta has made me a little gun shy...while I love Italian food, I had a couple awful Italian food experiences when I first arrived in this city and usually end up at the same 2-3 Italian places I do like...so hopefully, making a list will encourage me to try a few more restaurants out there.  Here's all of what I tried (minus the pizza places).

Desert weekend getaway (11)

Arizona vacation- Quick relaxing getaway, I need to make this a regular vacation destination!

Party of one! Dining solo (19)

Places in Atlanta where I've felt comfortable dining by myself.  The only requirement is that there's a bar or small tables off to the side- nice bartenders, easy parking and good people watching areas also are a plus.  For me personally, It's also nice to have no judgment or people staring if I want to order multiple dishes to try and bring leftovers home :)

Restaurants to bring out-of-towners (14)

Here's where I've brought family & friends visiting from out of town, who want some type of Atlanta food experience

Being a tourist in Atlanta (13)

I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago but I still enjoy exploring the city like a tourist.

Dim Sum Quest- Atlanta (8)

UPDATE:  Found great dim sum!!!!  See my last review on the list for Golden House.  

Original list description:  I've pretty much given up on this one...I don't think great dim sum exists in Atlanta (especially a la carte and to go) so I'll have to settle for just good dim sum.
