Andrew Connell and John Hayes set a goal four years ago to try every pizzeria in Atlanta. Their quest, which you can read about here came out of their once-a-week meeting for guy time.
Of the 99 pizzerias they have tried, here are their top three:
Westside Pizzeria “The kind of place you sort of hate to tell people about — a hidden gem. Think Cheers, plus pizza.”
Nancy’s Pizza (the Buckhead location), “While the “Chicago style” deep dish is more casserole than slice of pie, there’s nothing that can truly compare to what you get there.”
Vintage Pizzeria (the Chamblee location): “Service: attentive and friendly. The pizza: thin, crisp, cheesy, delicious. Classy joint.”
Connell and Hayes say their choices don’t necessarily align with what the foodies think is good pizza.
Do you agree with their choices? What restaurant has the best pizza in Atlanta?
