The experience started the moment we walked in. We were greeted by Savannah, who honestly felt like a gift from heaven. Our son only wanted French fries while our daughter had her heart set on pizza. Instead of telling us what couldn't be done, Savannah made it her mission to make sure our family could eat there. She went above and beyond to accommodate our son's preferences, and her kindness immediately put us at ease. It wasn't just good customer service--it was genuine care. Once we were seated, we met Max (not the owner!), who was our server. From the very beginning, his personality won us over. He was witty, funny, and had a way of making us feel like we were more than just another table. He matched our family's energy perfectly, and by the time we left, dinner had become one of the highlights of our day. It's rare to find a server who can make a meal that memorable, but Max absolutely did. And now for the food... the pizza was incredible. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and the kind of cheese pull that's worthy of social media. Every bite was delicious. Between Savannah's exceptional hospitality, Max's outstanding service, and the amazing pizza, Max's turned what could have been a stressful dinner into one of the best parts of our trip. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

The food all around was very good. The meatball hoagie was decent, the bread was soggy once it came out. The pizza is excellent and so are the salads. The servers are amazing. Very polite and friendly. And the all around vibe in here is a great atmosphere. read more

I'm all about an oven baked pizza but I wasn't crazy about the gluten free crust. I've had gluten free all over the states and I believe that Sam's has better gluten free crusts also too much red sauce (even though it was tasty). The Italian chopped salad well... there wasn't anything chopped about it. Very little meat and cheese, the greens were good but the dressing was tasteless. The Burrata Caprese was excellent and the only good thing out of my order. Nice Burrata Mozzarella and pesto, wish more than 2 measly (and I mean small) pieces of bread came with it. All in all, the staff was great but not sure I would eat there again. read more

Stopped by as we were walking in Atlanta. We ordered the Tradizionale pizza which had pepperoni, spicy italian sausage, peppers, with no onion and extra sauce. After waiting 20 minutes, the server came by and said they misread our order and made it no sauce. They asked if we''d still be interested but after kindly declining we had to wait another 15 minutes for our pizza to come out. Was disappointed about the pizza quality, it was very floppy when we grabbed a piece. The toppings including the cheese and sauce fell off the thin bread each time. Wish the crust would've been more firm so make it a more enjoyable experience. read more

My husband, toddler and I stopped by on a Monday evening after finishing our day at the aquarium. We were seated right away in a booth with menus, paper & crayons. We reviewed the wine list and decided to order a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. After a few minutes it turns out they didn't have the bottle and only a more expensive one. My husband asked if they could match the price and they did. We had a lovely dining experience. Our toddler behaved well, we had a nice wine after a long day of meltdowns & we shared a delicious thin crust coal fired pizza. We had the sauce less fontina & funghi pizza and it had several wild mushrooms all cooked perfectly and caramelized onions to top it off. Overall, great service, fast fresh pizza, and good ambiance. read more

The pizza is decent and I will say it is a bit above average! That being said, there was a few small things that I didn't like. #1 was the amount of sausage or lack of amount of sausage that they put on the pizza or mines at least.#2 the crust became too sloppy for my liking and I really don't like a hard crispy crust but it became too soggy to soon. The taste was good, nothing crazy, our server was too awesome and the drinks were good also. I would definitely return to this establishment in the future. One more small thing that I didn't like was that they don't sell pizza by the slice. read more

First time visiting today with my wife and enjoyed a nice meal. The double pepperoni pizza was delicious. The crust was really good. We split a Cesar salad. The service was struggling this afternoon but sometimes it happens. Overall it was a nice experience with really good pizza. read more

This place was so good! The pizza was so crunchy and soft at the same time, the drinks were strong, the staff were very friendly. We sat outside and it was really nice. We're from out of state so we will definitely come back to this spot whenever we're back in Atlanta. read more

This place is dishonest about their hours of operation. They close at nine according to their website. However outside tables stop seating at 8 pm and they would not take any more walk-ins at 8:25 pm. I get that people want to get out of work on a Saturday night but we walked with kids based on misinformation on their website. We are local and will never make the effort to come here again. read more

The pizza was hot and tasted really good. Everything seemed fresh and well prepared. I would definitely order again, although I think the amount of toppings could be improved. read more

One of those spots where you order food and drinks, then end up staying for over two hours just enjoying the conversation. The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and the outdoor seating was perfect for the day. The food was delicious, our server was kind and attentive, and the overall experience made us want to linger a little longer. read more

I came here twice during my trip to Atlanta. On the first visit, we split the garlic flatbread (topped with mozzarella at the recommendation of our waitress) and the lemon and herb wings, as well as a margherita pizza. The garlic flatbread was good but a bit too cheesy with the added mozzarella, and the lemon pepper wings were a miss in our opinion. The margherita pizza, though, was phenomenal. There was no flop and a nice char on the crust - it did not have huge flavor but it was definitely satisfying. After checking and seeing the One Bite score, I was surprised it was not rated higher. The next day, because of how good the pizza was, we came back with friends who had now joined us in Atlanta, and ordered the Caesar Salad and the classic pie. The salad was delicious, but the classic pie was very disappointing. So doughy and floppy with absolutely no crisp on the undercarriage - exactly what Dave had complained about in his review - and a bit over-seasoned in my opinion. That pizza gave Dominos vibes when the margherita gave solid coal oven pizza vibes. All in all, worth visiting, but stick to the margherita pie. read more

Me and my family are vegetarians with my mom being gluten free, and we absolutely loved their pizza. My mom said it was one of the best gluten free pizzas that she has ever had and my Margherita pizza was equally delicious. To make things even better, our server Sam was really kind and attentive, checking on us very often and a really cool person overall. Would most definitely recommend! read more

The most delicious pizza I've ever had! The chicken wings also did not disappoint. Super friendly staff and very attentive. No complaints we loved it! The inside is clean and nice and not too overstimulating. Toddler approved. Will absolutely come back if ever in the area again. Wish we had one near us. read more

Came here on a rainy day. Tons of seating. The staff was very friendly but service was a bit slow. Kind of weird because it was a slower day. The food was amazing, except the salad because it was overdressed. Would def visit when we come back to the area. read more

Excellent food and service! Everyone was happily chomping away at the pizzas, salads, and wings. Place was busy but quiet. Good amount of food for the price. read more

I went here to grab a late dinner. The hostess was kind enough to take my order over the phone before they closed. I ordered a Greco pizza on gluten-free crust. I arrived before it was ready so I sat at the bar. The bartender was nice. He even packed me some napkins, plates, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese packets. The pizza was good. I liked how light the crust was, which isn't always the case with gluten-free pizza. I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in town to explore the menu more. They have a good amount of seating options, and it looked like they have outdoor seating too. read more

Love finding a good pizza spot -- and this one did not disappoint! We stopped by Max's Coal Oven Pizzeria for lunch today and it was very good. It's honestly hard to find really good pizza, but their coal oven pizza definitely hits the mark. All of the pizzas are 12 inches, which is the perfect size. I ordered the Bianca ($18) and my husband went with the pepperoni ($16). Both were delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly with that amazing coal oven flavor. Shoutout to Tonya, our waitress! She went the extra mile and made me a Cherry Coke with a cherry on top! Great food and great service always make for a win. The restaurant was very clean and has a fun vibe. They have inside and outside seating. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back! This is a solid choice for pizza! read more

They close at 9, I came ay 8 and was seated immediately. Host cleaned the table off after we were seated. Our server was friendly, and upbeat. She had good energy. Took our orders and food soon was brought to the table. It was something about the dressing that I didn't like, turned me off. Almost a tangy taste to it. The pizza was good, I just would've preferred my pie to have been cooked longer, to be a bit more crispy rather than doughie. It was O.K. There's TV with games on, a bar and chalk drawings on the way. read more

This casual dining restaurant with an outdoor street view patio is just a short walk (1-2 city blocks) from the plaza with Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola and Museum of Civil and Human Rights. We ordered Tradizionale and Bianca specialty pizzas and a kids spaghetti (came w/meatball). Food came out fresh, hot and delicious. The confit garlic on the Bianca pizza Pizza crust was crisp and slightly chewy. Service was attentive, fast & friendly. Highly recommend paying this location a visit if in the vicinity. read more

Great spot in Atlanta. I am a pizza snob and this was great pizza. I liked the Bianca the most out of the ones we got. The meatballs were also extremely tasty. If I was a waiter there I'd stuff a couple in my pockets on the way out. The wings were good but not the highlight for sure. Worth trying tho. The drinks were also super yummy. Well made and good balance. We sat outside and it was a great ambiance. The service was on point and timely. Overall a great experience. Thanks guys! read more

We received a pepperoni pizza with no cheese (no we didn't order that), the shrimp scampi was unseasoned and it took about 15-20 minutes to receive the bill after requesting it about 5 times. The hostess just kinda threw our food on the table & walked away. Tip was included in the bill but it was less than what I would've tipped so I just let it be. Overall horrible experience...I will never return. read more

We went after a soccer game , place was packed . Managed to get a table inside after 10mins . The restaurant didn't smell right.... I'm not sure if it was the dough fermenting or if they have a sewer problem. We had a cheese pizza , and wings were ok. Also had a kids spaghetti with Parmesan and butter , my son said it tasted sour ... Will not be going back. read more

Very conveniently located to the cnn center and State Farm arena. The food was good and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the pizza-it's very shareable. All of the food is very shareable and good!

Stopped in for lunch on Memorial Day. The place was very busy. The music was loud and the tables are pretty close together. It is a really loud place. We ordered a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza with a Caesar side salad. We didn't wait long for our order to come out. The salad was okay, nothing exciting. The pizza was cheesy and crunchy. The toppings were sparse. Overall, don't know if we would return. It was just alright. read more

The pizza is great! Highly recommended great service and great food!!! Closed to the Olympic Park

At first we were looking for a food spot and someplace that served alcohol so we chose here. We were greeted by the wonderful staff which was very helpful. It wasn't that busy when we went in. The vibe was pretty chill, modern. We ordered some appetizers, the burrata and the wings as starters. Then arugula pizza and Margareta Pizza. The burrata was soo good but just which the bread was smaller instead of 2 big pieces. Out of the pizzas, the arugula pizza was the best. Oh forgot to mention we ordered the peach cocktail, forgot the name but it was really good and pretty strong. It had a nice peach taste it wasn't over powering. Again the staff was amazing! Very nice and helpful. Would def come back! read more
