    Tradizionale
    Odamys P.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ordered a cheese and sausage pizza with green peppers . I was so disappointed it very little cheese ,the green peppers were sliced and the meat was chunks of sausage. I'm from Chicago and im not used to eating this type of pizza. It was burnt on crust. Customer service was excellent. The restaurant was welcoming. I'm going to try to eat it . But this is a hard pass

    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.

    Funky coal fired pizza place in Atlanta. I had the meatballs, great taste and chew was soft. Very good fresh tasting Marinara sauce. Excellent pizza, I had the Traditional and loved it. Fun service as well!

    Bianca specialty pizza
    Krisdena R.

    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.

They offer fresh basil, spices, cheese and other things. Also have paper plates and cups to grab. I like the open style kitchen and seatings it makes you feel at home. They have seating up front that is closed off and bar style areas you can stand and eat if you're alone or not in a big group. I think they have outside seating too. We got margarita, pizza, and one with pepperoni and it was really delicious. The cheese pulled on some of the pizzas, but I had to heat mine up for her to get that full melted caramelized look. I like mine a little more crunchy so I just put it in the oven for a little bit longer. The flavor was still pure and fresh and really tasty. I would suggest asking or adding on extra basil. They do sprinkle it on or the cheese covers it.

We were one of the first ones there. The folks taking orders were not very polite, and quite disrespectful. I told them we were waiting for others and that the customers behind us could order. Don't give me a frustrated look when I'm trying to be helpful and considerate to you and other customers. It's not like there was a long line of customers waiting to order. The setup here is not as good as the other Antico locations. It's much smaller, and the music playing is quite loud. They brought a pizza out to us and they asked what number we were, I said '4' but I also said we ordered more pizzas, and they dropped the single pizza off. We started eating the single pizza (it is one of the pizzas we ordered), and the other pizzas came, but they then got upset with me as they realized they dropped off the single pizza to the wrong table. Not my fault they're not listening or care enough to verify how many pizzas each customer ordered. I said they can take the new pizza the other customer ordered, but she went off in a huff. They also don't have pitchers/containers of water like the other locations, so they expect you to get your water from the dirty sink they have near the pickup window. The pizzas were tasty, as the toppings were actually quite good but unfortunately the pizzas are quite floppy. Unfortunately, this experience was quite horrendous, and my daughter's friends won't be going back to this place anytime soon. I get it, you're a pizza place near a college campus so you're going to get business. Your staff needs to adjust their attitude when something doesn't work the way they want.

    This has been on my list forever. It's a small shop so don't think of it as a huge pizza chain but…read moreit still packs plenty of flavor. It's in Sandy Springs and there's free parking in the lot because it's in a shopping center area so you don't have to worry about paying for anything To park. They have Some liquor and wine but don't expect a full bar situation when you come here. They have a nice bit of wine and a few bottles of alcohol but this is not a place that you would go and buy the bar out . The place itself is pretty small so keep that in mind. They have a couple of outdoor seats that are right outside the door but not a whole lot and they're not covered so if it's raining then that's going to be an issue. Inside they have a very long countertop area and maybe about 10 tables or so. Just be aware of that before you start inviting five or six different friends with you to come eat pizza . The service was good. I have no problem coming back because of that. I believe his name was Henry. He took care of me and made sure that I got my food fast and hot . Hot honey lemon pepper wings - the wings came out extremely hot and fresh. They feel like they have been freshly tossed right out of the fryer. They can come with ranch or blue cheese as a sauce but they have so much flavor that you absolutely didn't need the sauce or dressing with it. You get about eight wings and they are actually a nice size so it's not those tiny wings that you feel bad about because you paid for a full order and you only got pinky-sized wings lol Hot honey char - this pizza was really good. It came pretty flavorful right on the table. I mean it's packed with flavor. You have the cheese on top, the gobs of ricotta, the honey (which is the sweet area of the pizza), the little pepperonis, and there's a lot going on. Now it was pretty greasy so if you have an issue with grease in your stomach then this might be a thing for you. At the same time you have to realize that this is what happens if you have pizza coming right out of the oven. It could indeed be a little bit greasy. It didn't bother me because the flavor was still there . I thoroughly enjoyed this place and I would definitely go back. I went right between lunch and dinner so I went in a weird spot but they still did have me wait. The service was good and the food was great .

The restaurant is super cute, and our server was great. Unfortunately, the kitchen forgot to make my pizza. My son received his pizza and had completely finished eating before mine ever arrived. I was definitely disappointed, and honestly, I was thinking I'd never come back. Then the manager personally brought out my pizza, sincerely apologized, and comped it. That completely changed the experience for me. Mistakes happen, but great customer service makes up for it and they handled it perfectly. As for the pizza, it was absolutely delicious. Being from Chicago, I'm a bit of a pizza snob, so I don't hand out compliments lightly when it comes to a good pie. I'm grateful they made things right because now I can confidently say I'll be back for some darn good pizza. I'll definitely be dining here again, A LOT!
