Piazza San Gennaro

I am not a fan of NY pizza, therefore I did not like Antico. I was only able to order 1 opping, so I chose pepperoni. The sauce and cheese was sparsed. As soon as I opened the box, and saw this thin greasy pizza, I knew what time it was. First and last. I put Pappadeux's pizza above Antico.

We had take out. It was suggested from a friend who lived in Atlanta before. There is nothing special . It is just simply pizza with lots of bread .

We were really excited to try this pizza, but it didn’t live up to the hype. We ordered online and it said it would be ready in 20 minutes, we timed this coincide with when we could get there to pick it up, however we got a text literally 3 minutes later that it was ready. They set the pizza out to be picked up so it was of course cold when we got it. We got a white pizza and a margherita one. The white pizza we picked had broccoli on it, but it was very bitter. The other one was pretty good. We did enjoy the crust.

A really great Italian experience. Being Italian I honestly do not try pizza when I travel, to avoid being “surprised” by the local reinterpretation. But the pizza of Antico was really good, nice dough, right balance and tasty ingredient, delicious as you could find in the best Italian restaurants. The environment is rustic but welcoming and vibrant. A very pleasant surprise!

I found this place as it was ranked the best in Atlanta on several websites, and it has lived up to the hype. Amazing artisanal pies, and excellent sides. Their “large salad” alone is worth the order, with a great house made vinaigrette. Even ordering delivery they were able to get the food out quickly, and the pizza arrived warm and delicious.
