    Love pizza cafe! great bar staff and place for regulars. clean and open. and the best calzones anywhere! prices are good for the amount of food you get. food is fresh and the dough is phenomenal. in fact, we go back for the pizza dough. lots of extra sauce on the side which is always an extra win for me!

    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 food is consistently delicious, and the garlic bread, meatball, and bolognese are my go-to favorites--they never disappoint! My only gripe is that the Thursday night special tends to sell out extremely early. I've missed it more than once, but thankfully the regular menu always saves the day. The restaurant is a tight, intimate space and has become very popular, so I highly recommend arriving as early as possible; especially if you have your heart set on one of the nightly specials. Service is a hit or miss due to the over flow of patrons. I've always had to wait 5-10mins to be seated even if a reservation. Always thought that was odd. Always a favorite and always worth coming back!

I put in the notes of my reservation that it was my birthday and everyone stopped by my table and greeted me with a warm happy birthday. That was a really nice touch. My waitress offered me a free glass of champagne for my birthday and I definitely wasn't gonna turn that down. I got the veal meatballs as my appetizer. I love that they were weren't heavy and dense. They were very light and delicious. I also chose the chopped salad, but I wanted it to come out with my entrée. The chopped salad was good. Had pepper notes to it. The only thing I would do next time is ask for it not to be green peas in it. Just because I'm not a fan. For my entrée I got the cannelloni. The lamb shoulder inside was so tender. It was very cheesy and delicious. It also had green peas in it, which I didn't pay attention to on the menu. I would also ask for there not to be green peas in the kennel only again that's just my taste. But that did not stop me from eating it all. I also had the blood orange margarita which was really good. This was my first time at this restaurant, but it definitely will not be the last. I loved the vibe of the restaurant.

I originally found Gigi's while celebrating my brother and I's birthday, and it ended up becoming a tradition for us to come back every year. Even after he moved away, I've kept coming back for my own birthday because this place just feels special. This visit I ordered the polenta with caviar, beef carpaccio with boquerones, roasted brassicas, spicy rigatoni, chicken milanese, and tiramisu. What I love most about Gigi's is that the menu is smaller, but everything feels intentional and well executed. Nothing feels like filler. Every dish tastes fresh and thoughtfully put together. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the beef carpaccio. I could order that every single visit and still not get tired of it. The service here has always been impeccable and I really appreciate that they're welcoming to solo diners and keep bar seating available. One thing to know is if you sit near the open kitchen, it can get a little warm, but honestly it's worth it. Overall, this is one of those restaurants that reminds me why I love food so much. Definitely make a reservation because they stay busy.

She said we don't pick up the phones during service hours just email us, frankly, if I have to email a restaurant I don't want to dine there. And also there email was nowhere to be found on the website. Thankfully, we called back the next day (hopefully during a less busy time? 5:30, they changed it for us in two second so not sure why the other lady had such an attitude about it. Almost really ruined my experience and I was going to dine elsewhere. Started off with focaccia and beef carpaccio. The beef carpaccio was good! Although very very thin serving. We got two pasta dishes and th trout. The pasta dish with shrimp only came with five small pastas, I thought this was kind of pricey and crazy! $32 for five pieces of pasta?! The pork pasta dish was also very very salty. Though a bigger portion for $34, it was okay at best. The trout was definitely the better entree in my opinion. We also got a slice of tiramisu, and this was my favorite item all night. It was sweet and light! They also don't give any free appetizers for your birthday just fyi! The server was friendly, and came to check on us frequently. Overall, the food was okay, and the phone service was off putting. I think it's a quaint and cozy restaurant to experience once, but would def get a better bang for your buck elsewhere.

Although we had to wait an hour for our 7:15p reservation, the hosts were incredibly kind and gave us complementary drinks for the inconvenience. After standing in a busy walkway for an extended amount of time, we were finally seated. Our table was in a good location in the restaurant but we did have to deal with a bit of wobbling that was fixed by the server and a few gnats and flies. Our server was very nice and very informative as we ordered but seemed to get distracted at times due to how busy the restaurant was. The food and drinks were fine but not necessarily worth the hassle and wait. It wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped but the ingredients seemed to be fresh. It was a nice touch to have fresh Parmesan cheese grated table side with our meals. All in all, I don't think I would go out of my way to visit this restaurant again but it's worth giving a try if you are craving Italian and happen to be in the area.
