Found this spot after going down a serious "Stool Presidente" pizza review rabbit hole and somehow Dave still undersold it. New Haven-style pizza officially lives up to the hype. We drove an hour for it and I'd do it again tomorrow without hesitation. The char is part of the magic here. If you're not fully committed to the dark side yet, the light char pie is the perfect gateway. My wife usually isn't a heavy char fan and even she was sold. I saw the neon 8.4 sign on the wall, but this is a 9.4 easy in my book. Crispy, flavorful, balanced, and the kind of pizza that makes you immediately start planning your next visit before you finish the first slice. We slipped in on a quiet Tuesday afternoon and the staff was awesome from the jump. The franchise owner, I think Joe, was incredibly welcoming and even let us try the buffalo pizza he ordered for the crew. Great people, great pizza, great vibe. If this place was any closer, my waistline would be in serious trouble. read more

Summary: YUM! Ah-Beetz is a fantastic addition to the Marietta food scene. I've never had New Haven pizza before, but this was fantastic. We got a traditional Mootz pizza with half toppings. Great balance of sauce, cheese, and dough. The seasoning on the pizza was light but impactful, and the char on the crust was just right - charred and crunchy. The pizza does have a chew (as advertised). The onions and mushrooms were solid quantity, and perfectly balanced the pizza. The service is quick - I had a notification pizza was ready for takeout within 10 minutes at around 7:45pm on a Thursday. Looking forward to another slice! read more

Really liked this place. Was a small place but very clean and orderly. Served was very friendly and attentive. Food was super solid but took a bit to come. Got the mootz sticks (cheese bread) and the meatball grinder. Cheese bread is good, exactly what you expect. The grinder was good, very simple. Bread, cheese, and meatballs. Everything worked well together. Definitely will be back and will try a pizza next time for sure. read more

Tried this restaurant for takeout. The employee said it would be done in 10 minutes. Got there right as it was coming out of the oven. Drove directly home (10 minutes) and tried the pizza. We thought the pizza had good flavor but the crust was chewy which lessened the experience. Not sure if that's how a 'New Haven' pizza crust is supposed to be. If we were to give it another try I would ask for extra cheese. read more

I am trying this place as I type. Great pizza! Flavor is perfect. The chewiness is perfect. I also tried the wings. They are OK. The flavor is wonderful, but they are kind of mushy since they aren't fried. Don't worry, though I would get them again. The place is cute and I think they will do so much better when they get a liquor license. The service was great and the lady who took my to go order was super sweet. I will be back. The only issue is that I could not get the online order form to work. Oh well. read more

The best pizza we've found in the Kennesaw/Marietta area! I'm just about to order delivery, which I never do I can't say enough about the service we received while dining in a bit ago! Such a wonderful experience and EXCELLENT staff read more

We went on a Friday night. You'd expect a pizza place on a Friday would be busy but no. It was super quiet. Our server basically rushed us out the door even though we were only 1 of 2 tables. Our pizzas were charred. I'm all for a little crispiness but these were more burnt than anything. The garlic cheese bread was actually really good though! Not one we'll likely return to. read more

Honestly... don't walk, run to Ah-Beetz! This place was delicious. New Haven style pizza has FINALLY entered the chat here in Georgia with the recently opened AhBeetz Pizza in Marietta. Originating in Florida, Ah-Beetz is known for its southern Connecticut Neapolitan style pizza. A beautiful exterior char with a super crispy crust yet chewy texture. Personally, New Haven is hands down my absolute favorite style of pizza to eat and AhBeetz absolutely nails it. For our first visit we had to try a little bit of everything! Salad, wings, meatballs, bread sticks, and of course a couple of pies. Everything comes out looking absolutely amazing. Steaming hot with beautiful vibrant colors. Salad was crisp and fresh and we all raved over the Creamy Garlic dressing. Our Garlic Parm wings were meaty and the tenderly cooked chicken literally pulled right from the bone. FRESH Parmesan and garlic made the flavor really pop. Meatballs were prepared flawlessly and came dressed with a delicious marinara sauce. The meat was soft but not mushy. They were firm but just seamed to melt away as you ate them. Naturally we HAD to grab the New Havener pizza. This no cheese pie is the way it is done. I know what you are thinking and trust me, I LOVE my cheese but this pizza did not disappoint. Between the crust and the red sauce, along with the fresh diced garlic, this was an extremely satisfying and flavorful pie. Another New Haven specialty is the White Clam Pizza. AhBeetz does things right, bringing in fresh clams and shucking them in house! Overall we enjoyed every last bite and I honestly am aching to go back! read more

Been dying to try this place and it did not live up to our expectations. I'm not a fan of charred pizzas, but my boyfriend is. He liked it, but thought it could have been more well done. This being said, we are going to try it again soon in hopes that this was just a one-off situation. We shared a small Italian House Salad and a large Traditional Mootz with half pepperoni. I will update my review the next time we eat here. read more

New. Haven. Ah-Beetz. I've simply got to search the world for the rest of the year to find something better than this (somehow). I got a traditional personal size cheese pizza. New haven pizza has got to be one of my favorite styles. You simply can't eat it without getting sauce and a char dust on your fingers. It's got delicious flavors: a rich and savory red sauce, a crispy thin crust with a soft interior cooked to perfection, and a melty gooey cheese that is subtle and addicting. The main thing that sticks out to me here- the sauce. I've never had anything like it. I'm sad that I can't eat this pizza non-stop... my mouth is still watering for more. They've got fair prices and good deals. I added a 5ct of Buffalo Chicken Wings to my order for free with a reward (this was my first time visiting). The wings were just about what I would expect- nothing too special- but not necessarily bad. The buffalo sauce was pretty classic and not too spicy. Additionally, despite all that being said, having some buffalo wings to pair with your pizza is just a fantastic combo. I went in pretty close to the time that they opened, they got business even on a Tuesday morning pretty quickly. They do both carry out and dine in. The dine in experience is accompanied with full time servers- which was unexpected to me for this kind of small pizza restaurant. They also have counter service for carry out orders and their hospitality is pretty good. While waiting for my pizza, I noticed that every guest got a "welcome in" upon entry and the staff would immediately cater to check in on them. The cleanliness is really nice too- I would enjoy dining in anytime. Check out the video attached with the sound on! Listen to that crispy crust and witness that beautiful undercarriage with zero flop... yum! read more

Pursuing Flavors Logo Restaurant Reviews Ah-Beetz Date Visited: 28-11-2025 I heard about this new place in Kennesaw on Barrett east of 575 that serves New Haven style pizza and had to give it a try. I like Chicago style, New York, Neopolitan, Detroit... but never tried New Haven. It was excellent. Small place, atmosphere very casual, you take a seat and they come take your order. I like beer with pizza, but they don't have liqour license yet or maybe don't plan to. They do have unique to New Haven soft drinks, they sell grinders and salads that appear to be unique to that part of the country. We ordered a large cheese... second item on the menu. It came out quick looked fantastic and tasted even better. This is tied for my favorite pizza in the area with Vesuvio. BTW I found out that Portnoy did a review of their Florida location and gave it a very strong score of 8.3. Go try some ! !! read more

I've ordered from here and it was such a let down. I tried it twice and was going to try a different option but the owner was so rude to me and so many other people for having an opinion I have decided to never go back. The pizza is dry and burnt. I've had much better pizza. Labella's and Solar Slice are much better. Trash pizza and a rude owner. Wish I could give 0 stars. read more

I've been to Ah-Beetz twice, and as someone who used to live in Connecticut, I can confidently say this is some of the most authentic New Haven-style pizza you'll find in Georgia. The pizza itself is legit. The crust, char, texture, and flavor brought me right back to CT, which is why I was excited to bring friends here on my second visit. Unfortunately, my second experience left a very different impression. I drove over an hour with two friends specifically to introduce them to authentic Connecticut-style pizza. We arrived right when they opened at 11:30 AM on a weekday and only planned to order two pizzas--a cheese and a pepperoni. Despite being first customers in the dining room, we were told it would be over an hour before they could make our pizzas because they had a large school order to fulfill first. The manager came out and offered to make our pizzas sooner, but then explained they would likely be undercooked because the dough would not be fully cooked and would be soft. That put us in an awkward position: either wait well over an hour or accept pizza that might not be properly cooked. We chose to leave. What made the situation even more frustrating was that there was no one else in the restaurant, and as we discussed what we should do, we overheard the other staff snickering about what the manger told us, suggesting the explanation we were given wasn't entirely accurate. I can't say whether that was true or not, but it certainly added to the feeling that we weren't being treated as valued customers. The pizza is excellent, and based on quality alone I would highly recommend it. However, customer service and communication matter too. Driving over an hour to share a great pizza experience with friends only to be turned away at opening was disappointing. I'm honestly not sure if we'll make the trip again. read more

Always good service. We first ate here on December 5th, and fell in love with the traditional pepperoni pizza, fresh salads and creamy garlic dressing. Unfortunately, subsequent returns found the pizza lacking in both cheese and pepperoni , unlike our original experience, providing no real flavor or texture to the pizza. It's like they're reducing the cost of goods sold. We thought this was going to be our new place. One more try..... read more

The pizza was solid, I can't speak to TRUE New Haven appiza, as I never had it. Overall I would definitely come back. I had the standard cheese, will opt for some ingredients on top next time. Wings were "odd". Very meaty, but none of the sauces were impressive. I had for them to be extra crispy and that is how the order was put in, but they weren't. I assume based on them cooked in the oven and not fried? Maybe just can't get them crispy that way? So takeaway is great pizza place, not so much on the wings. read more

I had a coupon for a buy one get one free personal sized. Let's just say cheese pizza, ordered sausage. Also, presentation was great. Service was great, but I just have to give it a no. Tomato sauce was sweet, but bland cheese., Nothing special. People at nursing homes would enjoy something it's not seasoned but as far as me, I'm sorry. read more

The food and customer service is amazing 10/10 recommend if you're in the area. I drove 35 minutes for this pizza and don't regret it one bit. Plenty of parking and seating in the restaurant as well. read more

I blame Dave Portnoy thinking every pizza supposed to be charred but pizzerias don't know the balance between charred and burnt. The Margherita I got from here was a black mess. On top of that it lacks flavors and the dried chunks of cheese was coming off the pizza. This has to be the worst Margherita pizza that I have ever had. you can taste nothing but the burnt flavor. I don't know why it says chicken but I had pizza. Bad pizza when it tastes like burnt charcoals leaving a black mess on your fingers read more

Today was their first day open for business and we waited outside for a few minutes until they opened. The owners were very friendly and one of them took our order. The staff was very attentive and there seemed to be great organization between the kitchen and the servers. The pizza came out hot, had great flavor and char. We'll definitely be back. read more

Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza - Large Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

This pizza lives up to its namesake! 10/10. By far the best pizza I've had in the ATL metro area. Georgia is where I call home now, but I was born and raised in New Haven CT. There isn't much I miss about Connecticut, but pizza is definitely at the top of that list. Ah-Beetz feels like a New Haven pizza joint, from the ambience, down to the Foxon Park soda (iykyk). We tried the pepperoni and the sausage and onion pizza. They were both great. The sauce to cheese ratio was perfect, the undercarriage was perfectly crisp, and the crust has the perfect char! I can't say enough good things about this place. The service was great as well, very attentive and accommodating. As long as they keep it up I will be a customer for a LONGGGGGGGGGG time. Next time I gotta try the clam pizza. read more

Great pizza and being from Stamford,CT I can say this pizza is spot on CT pizza and the Italian grinder amazing!!!

Being from West Haven, CT I can confirm Ah-Beetz is real New Haven style Apizza. I highly recommend eating here.

It's not gross pizza, but it is NOT New Haven pizza. It's a hybrid of sorts between NH and Neopolitan, lacking that crispness inherent to NH style pizza. It has the softness of neopolitan done in the sauce and cheese style of NH. Now, neo is my absolute favorite type of pizza, so that's not a bad thing, but if you're going to call yourself new haven style, you had best fully deliver. read more

I've tried it twice now. It's NOT New Haven style. Probably because they cook it on a conveyor belt. It completely lacked the crisp bottom which is the signature of NH style pizza. Also - the sauce is mid. It needs salt and some more flavor. I probably won't try it again. read more

Pizza was amazing. Definitely recommend the White clam pizza(love the char crust). Wings were great too. New Haven style pizza(or should I say apizza)is a rare find around here so definitely check it out. read more

Finally good pizza in East Cobb-Marietta! Been driving all the way to the Battery for great pizza. Now we drive less than 10 minutes!

Excellent crust, good toppings and service. I had a 10" with pepperoni and meatball topping and even though it was bigger than expected, I ate the entire pie. I highly recommend Ah-Beetz and no I did not pronounce the name correctly my first time. read more

Fantastic. We've been to Sally's and Frank Pepe's in New Haven. Just as good if not better. We will be back.

DoorDash late night delivered my first REAL HOME MADE MEATBALL SUB!!! I didn't think pizza places made their own meatballs anymore but it was great. I can't wait to try their New Haven pizza as I've eaten Pepe's so it'll be great to compare but I'm not ordering DoorDash for my first try as I don't want it to get "box soggy". Wanna do my own "Portnoy" review! read more

I was so excited to try New Haven style pizza. Never had it before. Went to Ah Beetz in Marietta, Ga for the first time today. Was mine burned? The manager said no. Either he was wrong, or I just do not enjoy the char that others do read more

Great pizza and wings!! We enjoyed our meal. Service was great and our salad was delicious

Place was clean as it's new. Service was fine. She was a nice server but.... if I wanted sloppy joes, I would've made that at home. My meatball grinder was horrible. And, for the price, did not come with a side...not even chips. My husband got the claim pizza. He said it was ok but definitely needs more clams. If you're going to do it, do it right. Crust was good but definitely have to get the light cooked version. Can't imagine who wants a mouth full of char?? Grinder came out first and waitress said the pizza would be another 5 minutes. Sweet tea delivered to table....was almost as clear as water. She said it's been like that all day. If that's true, then why not fix it??? That's a place I can cross off our list. Won't be back. read more
