I've had some of the best pizza in NYC and I can confirm that La Calavera Pizza has that real authentic flavor you're looking for. The sauce, THE DOUGH, the cheese all of top quality. I hear they have added sandwiches to the menu and I can only imagine how delicious that bread is. The woman working FOH was so patient and kind and the chef was super friendly as well. It's a small space and they are currently renovating but still worth it! Can't wait to see what they do with the place!l read more

Decided to try this pizza place because it was close to where we went here and the good reviews. Maybe we got the wrong thing.... Cheese bread too much bread not enough cheese and little cup of cold sauce The Bradford was a really good BBQ pizza we like the crunch of the crust. The La Bandera was just okay The red sauce was described as a drizzle but it was literally plops of cold sauce on the top. Weird The customer service was great. The price was high but typical for the area. read more

Delicious pizza with lots of vegan options. We ordered the meat haters for my vegetarian son, and a vegan version for my wife and I with a gluten free crust and the sunflower seed cheese. Both were better than average and fresh made! read more

This is one of the best pizza places in Atlanta. The sourdough crust is so flavorful. We've gotten so many of their specialty pies and they're all so good. The staff is super friendly. More people need to know about this place. read more

Location is weird. It's on the side road of a busy street. We walked to other side to go to the gas station across the street and my wife almost got hit by a car. Drink selection here is limited. A few bottle drinks of jarritos priced at 3 dollars made me decline any drinks. The customer service was good she did a job explaining the menu and I was able to get half and half which I was appreciative however I was disappointed by the food. I ordered the bbq chicken pizza solely based on the added addition of cilantro expecting a unique flavor, but it was hidden by the other flavors. The diced chicken was not tender the flavors were there however the textures caused me to spit it out. Not a fan. The la banderas pizza was visually unappealing. It was a big glob of cold tomato sauce on a pizza. Wasn't good. The seating was small three tables and a dried plant. The cheesesticks while flavorful were too bready. Too much bread. I applaud the uniqueness of the flavors but it wasn't for me. read more

I called in my order for a pick-up, custom pizza. (Was at Skiptown, maybe 1 mile away) Got there, used the restroom, chatted for a bit with another customer, and my pizza was ready. They said 25 min, on the phone, but it was quicker than that. Here we go... Sourdough Crust Spicy Tom sauce Ital saus Pepperoni Carmelized onions Mushrooms Garlic confit Pineapple Hot honey I did ask for a small cup of parm because I'm out at home. (Didn't add any on the 1.5 I ate because I was so hungry) Don't really need crushed red pepper unless you want to take it up a notch. Took me about 15-20 to get door to door home with the pie, but was still warm enough to devour a slice and half, and be content. The rest to come.. Crust has a great crisp on the outside, with a nice chew on the inside. Spicy sauce has a good kick, not too much, but you know it's there. Great flavor. This specific combo of items has a really good balance of flavors - savory, sweet, seasoning/spices/salt and cheese. C'mon!! Should be a random special offering. Call it the "Cassius and Augs" Do it. You're welcome! read more

La Calavera Pizza - The off menu, custom "Cassius and Augs" (coined by yours truly. So good!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Maybe one of the best pizzas I've had! The crust is super light and airy, yet still crisp. They sprinkle on some herbs/spices which is a nice little addition. Also have vegan options which was nice for my BF. As someone said, it's mostly take out but we like our pizzas hot hot so we sat at one of the small tables. read more

La Calavera Pizza - Pepperoni and mushroom - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My husband and I took two of our grandchildren to La Calavera Pizza for lunch today. They only have 3 very small tables. That wasn't the issue. The restroom was not where the dining area was so.my husband motioned for the server to come to the register, as you would anywhere else. She approached him and rudely said " I don't like being summoned" we should have walked out then and there! We did not because our daughter was meeting us to pick up our granddaughter. The restroom is located in the behind the cash register and then down a hallway. The cheese pizza was $10 with an additional pizza. We ordered one meat lovers and one pepperoni along with the cheese. Our bill was over $100 and the pizza was the worst I have ever had! The only reason I give a one star rating is it is required by yelp to complete the review! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND La Calavera Pizza TO MY WORST ENEMY! read more

Delicious, artisan pizzas! Nice customer service. Plenty of flexibility and options. Cool ambiance.

Great pizza. I really loved the sourdough crust. Will order again. Toppings also good.

This was my first time here and it did not disappoint. The location is very unassuming because it's literally a house lol. Me and my friend were the only ones there because we got there right when they opened. Inside it's very small but quant. The service was down to earth and the woman who took our order was very friendly. The food was definitely the star of the show! After much deliberation, we decided on the figgy piggy pizza. It was different but sooo good. We got a side of their hot honey to drizzle on top which took it to the next level. This place is definitely a hidden gem and I can't wait to go back :) read more

Love their pizza! Worth every penny. I love their cashew cheese and the quality of ingredients. Their crust is outstanding. Getting their pizza is one of my favorite splurges. read more

Great pizza dough, I ended up going home buying a loaf of their sourdough bread! Small but cozy place with only 3 tables so plan accordingly if you want to dine-in. Love how they serve cokes in old school glass bottles and service was seamless :) read more

La Calavera Pizza - Figgy Piggy and Pepperoni half and half - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Oh my god this pizza is so good!! Finally a really good pizza place near us in Candler Park. Ironically we have at least 3 spots in L5P but this blows them out of the water. We've had the Figgy Piggy and La Bandera with pepperoni. They use a sourdough to make their crust and the flavor and texture are amazing but the quality ingredients in their toppings really set it apart too. As a bonus, you can pick up a loaf of their sourdough and munch on the delicious bread all weekend! read more

The concept of this place is really close, it's a house turned into a restaurant. Ordered over the phone, friendly service, and was ready when we got there. The pizza was kool, I personally prefer more cheese on my pizza. The crust and bacon was the best parts, plus the HONEY! I've never had honey with my pizza but they changed my life because now it's a must for me. The have us hot honey and regular honey. The hot honey is HOT, fyi. But delicious overall, my friends loved it. Would recommend, just ask for more cheese if that's your thing. read more

La Calavera Pizza - Hawaiiana, I believe is the name, or close. - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

One of the best. Pizzas you can get in Atlanta. Consistency is above average. Always good.

So happy they are still open. I thought I saw a "for sale " sign for a minute. Friendly service and great food. We ordered vegan and regular pizza as well as a loaf of bread. I chose the garlic loaf. I love garlic but the garlic loaf was too much for me. The bread itself was delicious I just had to pick the cloves of garlic out. read more

The pizza was fabulous so the next time we also tried breadsticks and sopapiilas. Wow! They know some dough! (And they're very nice on the phone. ) We're new to Atlanta and everywhere we've lived we find our pizza place. Think we've found it in ATL! read more

Holy. Smokes. I would eat the sauce from the pizza with a spoon. So let's just start there. Yum! The crust of the pizza is so fluffy and the perfect texture, not too floppy, not too crunchy. I have nothing but good thins to say. The food was fantastic and the team is so friendly. It teeny inside so order ahead or go when they open if you want to sit read more

What incredible pizza. So delicious we had it twice in 1 weekend!! It's all about the dough at this place. It's a crust worth eating. The bread wingz....WOW! It's something that I have never thought to do. Pizza and wings are incredible, and this takes care of both cravings. The dough is so puffy it's liking biting into a cloud. And how they get the Buffalo on perfectly is amazing. Another offering of their pizza is all the vegan options as well. This is our family's favorite spot. And it's open at the perfect time of the week when pizza is what you crave on the weekends. The service is unbeatable. Such nice and welcoming atmosphere. It's truly a place everyone should try in Atlanta. You can feel the love put into the food! read more

A 3.5 star experience if Yelp did half stars... I was very hopeful for this neighborhood pizza place and excited to try it after reading some very positive reviews. They do seem to use very high quality ingredients and offer 3 crust options - white, whole wheat, and gluten free. The white is most similar to a Mellow Mushroom style crust, whereas the whole wheat was a bit more dense (too dense for me); the GF is kind of focaccia-like. All were fine; none exceptional. Sauce and cheese were flavorful. I noticed that a lot of the reviews were with vegan cheese, but we went with regular mozzarella. The toppings, especially for the price, are where they really failed. They use Spotted Trotter meats, which is a nice touch, but... for ~$30 per pizza, I expect more than one tiny pepperoni per slice - especially on a pizza called the Carne. If you like a thicker hand-tossed style cheese pizza only, this is probably the place for you. They have 2 sparse tables inside what seems to be a small, older house converted to restaurant. It is mostly a takeout place, IMO. Service was very nice by phone and in person. read more

This is fantastic pizza. And I'm a bit of a pizza snob. One thing though - I never eat the crusts. I like to save room for the toppings! But this is perhaps the best pizza crust I've ever had. The photo shows all the crust left -- none! The pizza was simply delicious. If you like it spicy get the chili oil on yours. Get it to carry out. They only have two tables and a tiny parking lot. It's in an old house on Memorial Dr. Don't let that stop you. Order online. Pick it up and you'll be glad you did. read more

La Calavera Pizza - This is all the pizza crust I didn't eat. - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been living in the same neighborhood as La Calavera for almost 2 years and I've seen their sign out front when driving by almost every day. Finally, for some reason, I decided to try it out this past weekend. I'm so glad I did. I ordered online - 2 slices for me; 2 for her. She likes vegan cheese and vegan toppings and I'm more of a dairy cheese & meat kind of pizza guy. They had multiple options for both of us. We opted for slices - their square grandma pie style situation. I think they were about $3.50 each plus about 75 cents per topping. Out the door with tip, we were right at about $20. The flavor right off the bat was incredible. Tangy sauce, melty cheese, crispy crust... delicious! I can't believe we hadn't been to this joint before now. We woke up the next day still talking about it. Safe to say we'll definitely be back! read more

La Calavera Pizza - Grandma Slices - one with Meatballs; one with Italian sausage - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The location was a tiny bit hard to locate as it not necessarily near other businesses and has a small, tight lot and there is limited seating. My solution to this issue is just order their takeout!!! This is the pizza I've been searching for! It's a sourdough crust and reminds me of Pie Tap in Dallas. The toppings tasted great. They took my order by phone quickly and the pizza was ready when they said it'd be on a Saturday evening. I wish they had smaller sizes for when it's just me. I'll be back. read more

My husband and I had the Cinco de Queso pizza and it was delicious! We would definitely return if we visit Atlanta again in the future.

This pizza is so good. We've had it twice: 1. Meat *haters* pizza - a supreme pizza with vegetarian sausage and vegetarian pepperoni. It was so good, the crust is incredible, and it's just such a fun concept and unique for vegetarians to have a pizza like this available. We also got the canelitas (dessert) and at the time it came with pumpkin pie pudding dip which was SO GOOD, hard to believe it was vegan. 2. Next time we got a special limited pizza, the lemon pizza with thinly sliced lemons, red onion, lemon olive oil. It was so good and unique. We got the canelitas again with peanut butter pudding dip, didn't like it as much as the pumpkin dip but I think they probably change the dip flavors a lot so I'm going to see what's next. Only downside is the small ordering window, only available 4 hours a day, 4 days a week!! But totally worth it. read more

While this pizza was not perfect the things it did right were extraordinary. The only negative would be I wish is was saucier. I turned my grill up full blast and reheated the slice for 1 min 32 1/2 seconds to creat that fresh out the oven texture. We also had the whole wheat, a notoriously thirsty dough, that may have soaked up some of that tomato saucy goodness. Flavor was top notch and the ingredients chosen for toppings are indulgently on point and nutritious. Enough hemp seeds to offset the price of the entire pie! An other good sign is there was a third pie that was full of veggies that we finished before I realized I should take a picture! Overall I would say you need to check it out, especially if you are not only looking for a non cheese pizza option but a healthier pizza option. read more

Pizza was really good and had a neat little shop with an interesting atmosphere. The service was quick and very nice.

Great pizza- dough was phenomenal. They are pretty light on the toppings, which was disappointing so pizza dries out when you reheat. But when it's fresh it's a pretty damned good pie. Also- they sell fresh bread! They had an Olive and Caper sourdough we bought and it was fantastic. If you get by there get the bread! You won't regret it! read more

This is one of the best pizzas I've had in Atlanta! Especially if you like a medium crust, superb cheese, and plenty of toppings!

I love the spot! So many choices on the menu for vegans and those who stick to SAD. I have enjoyed everything I've tried here.

I am a pizza snob and have tried all of the so called best pizza in Atlanta. This place is superior to all of them. The pizza crust along is easily the best I have ever consumed. Then you start to add the fact that they are offer a delicious organic crust option and now we are talking world classI crave this pizza at least four times a week and schedule my day to make sure I get there while they are open. The customer service is simply put stupendous: friendly and professional read more

Happened in just searching for pizza nearby and found a gem. The pizza was great, good variety of toppings. Slice options are great when eating with others who don't have the same pizza preferences. The employees are friendly and helpful. Feels more like walking into a friend's house for dinner. The lady at the front let us know we can byob next time we're eating in. Will definitely be back read more

In search of a pie that is sure to please, you've found it. A little pricey but you'll find it's money well spent. Amazing staff tucked away in old Atlanta, I'll be back next trip to the city. These guys survived C19, your next pizza will prove why, give it a go. J Mike read more
