Bbq chicken pizza and lemon pepper wings
Ahmad W.

I went here on 6-21-25. I see why they been in business so long. The pizza that I got is delicious bbq chicken pizza! I've been to this place once before with a cool chiropractor who had a business on Memorial Dr years ago before he relocated. I also got the 5 PC lemon pepper wings. I asked for blue cheese and was giving ranch instead the wings are good also.. The bbq chicken pizza is delicious! They also have a lunch special Mon - Fri

Awww man there are no words for the disappointment we experienced eating here. The pizza is disgusting smh there are no other words for it. Based on the Google reviews and pictures of the slices, I just knew we were going to have a good experience. We did not. I'm only judging the food because we just ordered and left. As soon as I saw the cheese, I knew we had a nasty pizza on our hands. There is no way to describe it - it's clumpy, thick but not sticking to the dough. The toppings taste musty, it's just weird and I'm getting sick as I talk about it. It's two of us and we ate one slice a piece and the rest is going to be thrown away. The Garlic Bread isn't toasted, we brought it home and tried to toast it but it's flavorless and taste like hot dog bun.

Met up with my friend here for drinks and a quick meal as I'm passing through Atlanta. I wouldn't call it "New York pizza" but it's still good. And the service? Fabulous, friendly and attentive. After two hours of fighting Atlanta's world-class traffic to get here, I seriously couldn't think clearly enough to even place a drink order. I asked for a cocktail, something sweet and a few minutes later, that's what I had. Something that could have been a Sea Breeze with sweet and sour that perfectly hit the spot. With a cold drink in hand, I was able to order a slice of pizza. The barbecue is loaded - almost overloaded - with chicken and sauteed onions and cheese and barbecue sauce. I'm glad I only got the one slice because this was a full meal all by itself. A neat little local watering hole and yes, they have more than just pizza.

Awesome pizza. I've had several pizza places near by and the Pizza Cafe is consistently the best pie. Service is always very friendly. Don't sleep on the French fries. The salad is a little small and lacking for $5. My only complaint!

Avalanche on one half  and spinach, chicken, artichoke on the other half

This place is a hidden gem! The pizza is always delicious it's best in Atlanta in my opinion!!! I usually get the wings too we like the hot with lemon pepper sprinkles they are always on point. The waitresses are always friendly and personable. You can tell a lot of the locals go there a lot to eat. I would too if I were closer. The place itself its nothing fancy ...just good food and good service... I was really surprised it wasn't rated much higher.

The 4 stars is for the size of the bar. I wish it was bigger. That said, great staff, good enough food, and nice bar patrons.

We had an EXCELLENT experience at this place. We dropped in on a Friday night without a reservation…read moreand it was pretty busy. That didn't stop them from finding us a seat and delivering incredibly speedy service. We had the Insalata Italaiana, a delicious sald featuring prosciutto and olives, and the Salsiccia e Funghi pizza. We were blown away at how fast the food came out and how delicious it was!

She didn't directly answer our questions about the menu so we had to repeat them a few times. 4/5: the arancini was lukewarm in the center while the Italian "Mac n cheese" was fried perfectly. The smoked salmon pasta was good with two exceptions: the onions weren't caramelized like the menu said AND they really should include a veggie like asparagus in it. The Diavola pizza was good but barely had any cheese. The cannolis again were good but the filling had the wrong consistency. They tasted prefilled even though our waitress said they're not. However, upon leaving we noticed a plate of prefilled cannolis in the cooler area. Do I think the food was worth $80? No. But would I go back to sample something else off the menu. Sure.

I thought I reviewed this place years ago. It threw me off because I didn't know the name changed…read more I really hope the options did not. Will try it under the new name Crushers?... this week and see. Them being on the corner, the original name worked, I don't like change lol. Anyway, Corner Slice was a good place to pick up a deep dish pizza. Better than Jets, and Nancy's pizzeria in my opinion primarily because their selection is unique. The texture,and flavor, just an overall nice pizza for someone like me never in the mood for pizza. I had pizza burn out for years just because it's the cheapest way to feed a lot of people and I got tired of it. Corner slice fixed that. The Riker is my go too. I feel like depending who I is making it, they either skimp on toppings or at times it's loaded. Inside is not comfortable for me, it feels kind of grimy and not clean. I pray over the pizza and take it to go. The pizzas are not cheap like chain pizza places. Just know it's going to cost you. But it's good. I think they have games in the back which I didn't expect. The guys that are usually taking the orders via phone and in person are nice.

Didn't expect to Love it but Wow!…read more So let me just say upfront. I hate Detroit-style pizza. Deep dish has never been my thing. I'm a New York slice guy all day. But the bar pie here? Closest thing to NY-style they had so I gave it a shot. The cheese was perfect, the sausage was top-quality, and the sauce just the right amount, a little lighter than usual, which could have been a touch better but I could've easily eaten two of them. Honestly, I came in expecting not to like it, and it ended up being a solid 4-4.5 stars. I eat a lot of pizza, and this place is a must-stop. I have a bad stomach and the grease was a little much even on the thinner crust but overall a solid spot.

We had a big party and they were super accomodating which was already a plus for the restaurant. When we got there, they provide complimentary bread and tomato sauce which was delish. We also got some drunks and I opted for the tequila/aperol cocktail which was stunning. The waiter did say it was their most popular and for good reason! We also got some appetizers to start include the fried seafood which was yummy and the cheesy bread which was STUNNING! Imo, skip the pizza and get the cheesy bread. Cannot explain how good it is. Almost ruined my dinner. For my entree, I opted for the eggplant parm after many recs and I do fear its worth. You can add a side of pasta for $7 which is lowkey is a scam... but those were some delicious buttered noodles. This meal was stunning. No notes.

After expressing that I was open to any variety of dishes, in hopes of venturing out from my "usual" of chicken parmigiana, Linda made several very thoughtful recommendations. I enjoyed the light flavors of the Agnolotti pasta, and the richness of the Marsala chicken. I am personally not a huge fan of mushroom taste, but the dish was not mushroom forward at all and the Marsala sauce was perfect. I also tried the cannellini beans after both Linda and her counterparts insisted that it's the most underrated dish on the menu and there were absolutely correct! I could have eaten the beans as my main dish and been perfectly happy. I finished it all off with the tiramisu, which was the perfect balance of sweetness and a very authentic taste about it! Anyone who knows me personally knows that I don't eat leftovers, but I reheated my leftovers on the stove and it was just as great as the night before - making the dishes well worth their value! The restaurant has a very quiet and respectable ambiance. The bar is inviting, while the seating area offers both group or family style dinner tables or more intimate tables tucked away. I can't thank Linda enough for the hospitality and recommendations. I'll be back, sooner rather than later, to keep exploring the menu!

Since it was a nice day outside, we decided to dine al fresco. Once we were seated, we encountered another wait, but this time it was because they hadn't assigned a server to our table. We had to get someone's attention because we noticed other people seated after us were being waited on. We ended up with Sienna as our server. She started us off with complimentary bread. We decided to order our cocktails, appetizers, and entrees since we had been waiting. I had the sangria, and my husband had the limoncello. We enjoyed both cocktails. For appetizers, we had calamari and cheese sticks, and the cheese sticks were definitely our favorite--they had a unique twist. For entrees, we ordered the lamb ragu and the chef's special, which was seafood ravioli. To end the night, we had the brownie sundae with salted caramel gelato. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. Although the service was a bit slow at first, Sienna was attentive. We look forward to visiting Paolino again in the future.
