It's been good. I just had a bad pizza. The last time I went I ordered a white pesto pizza and it was drenched in pesto. Either that's the way it's supposed to be or next time I say chill out on the pesto. I always see people get the gelato and I've never had it so this time I splurged and it was fantastic. It was much better than the pizza. I ordered the small and it was huge. I've been there a few times just the last time wasn't great. And they finally changed the set up. It used to be a refrigerator on the wall and a few high tables. Well now they got rid of the refrigerator and added more tables read more

Proud to be the first yelper to review! Outstanding service and gelato is amazing!! Authentic hidden Atlanta gem- closes at 9:30pm, and if you come later the owner is usually sipping on some red wine at a table. Felt like home... the desserts are homemade and made with love! I will be a returning customer!! Free parking, in Publix plaza, and prices are fair for the amazing quality. read more

Pala Bakery - Pizza and Gelato, plus more- all Homemade, and Italian imported! - Bakeries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I posted on IG and I'll say it again, maybe one of the TOP FIVE MEALS I've ever had! Found this gem because my niece sit it to me via an IG Reel. Totally worth the minty minute drive to ATL from North Georgia. Not a restaurant but more if a walk up Italian deli, fresh yeast smell in the air. Also known for handmade gelato and cannolis. But sadly the cannolis were sold out by our 1pm arrival. Just another reason to come back. One long community bar too inside and one outside. Too delicious to wait to eat, we devoured it all on the curb. Crisp, fresh, authentic. Makes me want to book a flight to Italy. Simply incredible! read more

The pizza here is delicious, I'm upset I haven't heard or seen the blog scene discuss how delicious this spot is. It is an Italian Bakery, Pizza and gelato spot and. The pizza is so delicious and reminds me of some pizza in Italy, the cannolis are also delicious. They sell pizza to make at home, pastas, oils and have soda from Italy as well. They have limited indoor and outdoor seating, I haven't tried the gelato yet but it is on my list. read more

Pala Bakery is fantastic, but since they are using Uber Eats to deliver, we are rating it two stars today. Uber Eats is taking two hours to deliver our food, when we paid extra to be the first delivery. Actually, it's unacceptable. Pala Bakery should get their own delivery service so customers receive their food in a timely manner, and hot/warm food instead of cold and soggy... read more

I've been waiting for months to try the sfogliatelle but I was unfortunately disappointed. They were over cooked on the outside and raw on the inside. I was thinking this place was going to be authentic but I'm not sure now. The pizza however was very good. It's a great place for a quick lunch. read more

Pala Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Outrageously expensive. $2.75 for a can of Coke? No cup or ice with it? Bread - ok. Sandwich meats/cheeses, average. Atmosphere? Screaming kids with no adult supervision. Slow service. Absolutely HATED this place. read more

Gelato was incredible. We tried espresso (Illy), banana, and mint chip. Haven't tried anything else yet but we will definitely be going back! read more

We love Gios Chicken and Antico Pizza (both owners by same family as Pala). We were thrilled to have a tiny presence of theirs closer to home! The gelatos are incredible (and they offer free samples). Although they don't serve the delightful Anticos pizza, they have some flatbreads that are good (although a bit spicy for kids). Service is unfortunately not as good as midtown, but one has to do anything for good gelato! read more

Do you know the excitement when you see a new gelato spot opening in your neighborhood? My friend and I stopped in for some frozen treats last night. We were not disappointed! Pala Is also a bakery, but we headed right to the gelato stand. I had a scoop of Salted Caramel and Expresso. Yum! The decor has been styled so well. There are also lots of packaged goodies to buy. I am definitely returning. Just wish they had a gluten-free pizza option! read more

Amazing!!! Food is fresh and incredible. This place has been on my summer bucket list and I finally crossed it off today. The staff was so kind and they brought us free biscotti when we were almost done eating. The hardest part is having to decide between a panini or a pizza because they all look so good. I can't wait to go back! read more

Nice little cafe/shop in the Publix plaza off West Paces Ferry. It has cute ambience inside and a few seats on the sidewalk. Obviously, parking is ample here. We only stopped in for gelato and bought a bag of biscotti, so I can't speak to the hot foods - but everything looked tasty in the window! Half of my time in Italy was spent eating gelato (lol exaggeration, but kind of...) so I feel like I've gotten a good handle on it. The gelato here is pretty legit! One of the best I've had in Atlanta. We had the coconut and hazelnut flavors. Also an espresso - standard, made with an Illy machine. Scarfed it all down too quickly and forgot to take a photo. Will definitely come back to try other flavors - they only allow one sample. And will try the pizza etc too. I do also wish they had GF options. read more

After visiting New York I was searching for an Italian Bakery and I came across Pala. When I went in , I was expecting something differently than I experienced. The staff was helpful and friendly but food items were limited and a sign stated , "No add ons, no this , no that ." I understand but how about have your employees communicate instead of a sign . Just a personal preference . I decided not to stay for lunch but I may go back to try the Gelato. Until next time . read more

Fresh, delicious, quality ingredients, variety & authentic we always enjoy Pala's. I've had the pizzas, the sandwiches, and the pastries - all hit read more

Never again. Sfogliatelle smaller than I have EVER SEEN. Gelato, same thing. Bold artificial colors, air whipped in. Hard pass. Buckhead prices. No no no. read more

Pala Bakery - $6 with tax. Just amazed. Half size at twice the price. Hard pass. - Bakeries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Loved the Calabrese pizza. The size for "one" was huge. I was looking forward to trying some cannolis but I went late in the day and they were all out (note to self - arrive early next time). I also ordered an affogato, one of my all-time favorite desserts. It was served in a tall plastic cup instead of maybe a very short coffee cup, and was filled mostly with gelato. Personally, I like a more even ratio of gelato and espresso. read more

Love their unique but authentic offerings. Would love to see them extend their deli and bakery items.

Very tasty sandwiches and pizzas. Not typical American style, but real Italian. Simple and fresh. Very good ice cream as well. Highly recommend. read more

Great Roman style pizza. Looks heavy but it's light on it's feet with and amazing crisp with fresh ingredients. One of the best pizzas I've had. I personally prefer this over Antico's because of the crisp but that's a personal taste. Both places you can taste the fresh authentic ingredients pizzas should be made with. Not much for seating but it's definitely worth the trip even if you have to take it to go or eat in your car. Gelato is pretty amazing as well. read more

Pala Bakery - Tomato and Tomatos & mozzarella / alla pala - Bakeries Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A four plus star! Wow the bakery items look great. I got a cannoli and it's the best one I've had outside New York City. I started with a carprese panini. The bread was light but flavorful. The tomatoes were good for out of season and the cheese. Delish Employees helpful. The place is small. Only room for a few high top tables so when you come prepare to do take out read more

Customer are not serviced during operating hours that's advertised. Establishment is in a plaza, but be early as they don't honor the hours they advertise as we were there and another family at 8:15pm, they didn't seat us both. Will update with more sandwhich shops due to this false advertisement. read more

Was excited to hear about this new spot. I had the Pinsa Romana pepperoni. It was quite delicious and enough for more than one person if neither is ravenous. I also had the berry torte. The torte was nice and not overly sweet, much like actual European desserts vs US desserts. I definitely would like to go back to try the gelato. Seating is limited, so carry-out is probably the better option. I don't live far, but not close enough that I would go pick up and take back home. I definitely think is is a great option if you live closer. Be warned though (and I did not down rate for this, as the business can't control it) the parking lot is an absolute nightmare. It's a huge lot, but very busy, and I kid you not, I waited over 5 minutes to be able to back out of my spot when I went to leave. There was a constant stream of traffic going by. read more

Visiting from Charlotte stopped in right before closing to grab tiramisu to go and it was delicious , fresh and right amount of coffee only down is fire the slice it is a bit pricy $7 but the dessert it self was great read more

This unassuming little bakery is tucked in the shopping center where the OK Cafe is located. The panini and pizza are surprisingly delicious and fulfilling. If you can stick around to enjoy a dessert, they also serve premium gelato, custom cannoli, and espresso. Don't forget to snag a few sfogliatelle to go for breakfast. Finally, if you want to sit down to eat on premise, plan to be there a little before or after lunch as the store is very small and has only one large shared table. There is some outside seating. Whether you stay or do take away, you will not be disappointed. read more

Pala is such a needed addition to the West Paces Ferry shopping center. The sandwiches are good and fresh. I wish there was a little more variety. The pizzas when they first opened tasted fresh and innovative. Now, the pizza dough does not always taste as fresh and the toppings never change. The desserts are amazing. The sfagliatelle pastry is full of flavor and the pastry flakes and crumbles in your mouth. An easy local go to good for eat in or to go. With limited seating, most people just take out. Also they offer prepackaged meals and salads to go. read more

This is a cool spot and a great concept but they ran out of a few flavors of gelato and I was expecting a few bakery items to choose from like breads etc, not just dessert pastries. We also got a cannoli which was prefilled and super soggy, not fresh or crispy at all. Typically you fill the cannoli shell when someone orders one, they don't just sit there all day. read more

Got a sausage and peppers pizza. Dough was soaked with liquid and almost raw. They refused to sell gelato because it was too soft even though I said I didn't care. Just wanted to enjoy something about my lunch. No thanks. read more

Highly recommend their prosciutto and mozzarella panini, my favorite sandwich in the city!! Perfect for an easy and satisfying lunch--this place is a gem in the community. read more

A good spot. A Lot of great items for you to enjoy. Many different pizzas and pastries.

Food is really tasty but pricey - lunch for two (no drinks) ran about $50. Gelato is so-so, but pastries are where it's at.

The food is very good there, we frequently visit Pala because we love their cannoli's, also the pizza there is very good as well. The service is great and the staff are very friendly. read more

Very underwhelming. Admittedly, we went later in the day when the options were limited. We got the fior di zucca, the white and pesto pinsa and the Joey bags donuts. Our total was roughly $30 for what amounted to an appetizer, a slice of pizza and half a dozen donut holes The fior was greasy and bland, the pinsa was unremarkable and the donuts were stale. Apparently the gelato is really good but i doubt we'll bother make the trip back to try any. read more
