    Varasano's Pizzeria continues to prove why it's considered one of Atlanta's premier pizza destinations. The pizzas feature an incredibly flavorful, thin crust with outstanding, high-quality ingredients that really shine. Our party of four ordered three pizzas--the Pancetta Garlic, Bufala & Copa, and Caramelized Onion. Every single one was excellent, but the standout was definitely the Caramelized Onion pizza with capicola. The combination of sweet caramelized onions and savory cured meat was absolutely delicious. Service was another highlight. Although our order was initially mixed up, the staff handled the mistake professionally and recovered quickly. They were attentive throughout the meal and even treated our entire table to tiramisu, which was a thoughtful gesture and much appreciated. The only disappointment was the appetizer. We ordered the meatballs, and while they were perfectly edible, they were fairly pedestrian and didn't come close to matching the quality of the pizzas. For four people, our bill came to just $98 before tip for three large pizzas, one appetizer, and water--a terrific value considering the quality of the food. Overall, this is probably the best pizza we've had in the Atlanta area. It earns a solid **4 out of 5 stars (A-)** from us. We'll definitely be back.

    Let's start with the good... The pizza and the cocktails are amazing! I ordered Nana's Traditional pizza with pepperoni! The crust was perfectly thin and crispy! They put these large pepperoni's on it, "mmmm, mmmm, good!!" Also, the bartender who ended up being our server, made me the most delicious Aperol Spritz. If you want an authentic one, don't do bottomless!! They use champagne instead of Prosecco. I paid the $11+ for the Prosecco. It was delicious! Definitely worth it! Also, our server did end up being super cool! The not so good. First, some of the employees need attitude adjustments. When we first arrived the lady that was the food runner was a bit rude! I asked her about parking and she abruptly said, "I don't know, you'll have to ask someone else," then walked off. After standing there dumbfounded for a minute, I walked over to the bar and the bartender was more friendly and helpful. Also, the tables were very sticky! All in all, the experience was a good one! My bookclub members loved all of the food! I will definitely come back!

    Cute spot with friendly service and a nice atmosphere. We ordered the penne alla vodka, pizza, and a couple glasses of wine. The presentation was definitely appealing, but the food was just okay for me. Nothing was bad, it simply didn't have the flavor or wow factor I was hoping for. If you're into bottomless drinks, they have a ton of great options for only $19 on the weekends! The service was warm and attentive, which I really appreciated, and overall we had a pleasant experience. We sat and chatted for quite sometime after our meals and never felt rushed. I'd say it's a solid option if you're in the area, but the food didn't quite stand out enough for me to be rushing back.

    Varasano's absolutely lives up to the hype! From the moment we arrived, it was clear why this place has such a loyal following. Watching the pizzas being made fresh by hand was such a cool experience, and you can truly see the passion and attention to detail that goes into every pie. The Neapolitan-style pizzas were outstanding with fresh in-house ingredients, a perfectly crisp, slightly charred crust, and incredible flavor in every bite. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. I also loved the atmosphere and outdoor patio seating. It was the perfect spot to enjoy great food and spend time with family. The happy hour specials are a bonus too, especially the bottomless wine and mimosas. The staff is welcoming and friendly.

    Caramelized Onion Pizza and Nana's Pizza with add-ons plus spritzes

    Came recently and had an amazing time! There's validated parking nearby and lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Good ambiance. The bottomless spritzes for $19 is such a great deal. Tasted great too! They kept our glasses refilled, definitely worth the money and got a great buzz. The Caramelized Onion Pizza was delicious and came out pretty fast. My friend got the Nana's pizza with pepperoni and a couple other add-ons and loved it. The add-ons are pretty pricey in my opinion (around $3 extra to add certain toppings). Overall: great pizza, great drinks, amazing drink deal, and swift, nice service. Will definitely be coming back to try their bottomless wine Thursday.

    Caesar Salad

    Very very great pizza! There is some parking in the deck behind but not a ton. You seat yourself when you walk in. But service was still quick! This was our first time so we went with some basics. Started with a Caesar salad which was very nice. But hard to mess up a Caesar! The pizza we decided to do half sausage with fennel and half capicola. Both were great! The pizza was a thin but with a nice crust. We saw a lot of other pizzas that looked great too! You can see them making the pizzas and everything. Overall a good experience!

    I tried the pizza at Varasano's and thought it was pretty good overall. I liked the thin crust, and the toppings were solid. My only issue was the size -- the pizza felt a little small for the price. I also ordered the meatballs. They come in orders of two or four, and I got the two. They tasted good, but the meatballs were pretty small for the cost. The small salad was also fresh and good, but again, the portion felt a bit small. So overall, the food quality was good, but the portion sizes didn't really match the price in my opinion. Parking is convenient since there's a parking garage underneath the building, and they don't offer a military discount. This was a takeout order, so I might give them another try dining in. I'm curious if the portions -- especially the meatballs and salad -- would be a little more generous if you eat there.

    This was my first time dining here. It's very accessible and in a good location. Parking is easy to access and free which is a huge plus. We arrived around 4:30 pm on a Sunday and the dining room was quiet and fairly empty. By the time we left around 6, it got packed! Seems like a fun place to be on Sunday afternoons. They have a nice patio area that I'm sure if very fun in the warmer months. The pizza was tasty, but mine was a little cold when it arrived at the table. That is the reason for 4 stars. Will be delicious when I heat up my leftovers. Would still recommend and return for some good pizza.

    Nana's Pizza

    Wow!!!! The Food was soo good. I can't believe the amount of food I ate but I just couldn't stop. The service was great and friendly and I loved the atmosphere. I can't wait to go back.

    DELISH!!! I met up with some girlfriends here for dinner on a Tuesday and super easy to get a table. It's a quaint little restaurant and the staff was super nice. No drinks for us this evening but we got some appetizers and pizza. The garlic knit bites were delicious and super garlicky. We split 2 pizzas, the one with arugulas and the mushroom pizza which we added sausage to. Pizza was delicious and yummy and I thought it was well priced as well. Definitely delish!

The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee.

I'm also a big fan of grits was able to taste some from my friend's plate. Service: 4/5 In terms of the food service, our server was extremely nice, but a couple of people in my party had things wrong with their order. We did have a large group though, so I won't put too much stock into that. Ambience: 4/5 When I say this place is crowded, I mean this place is crowded. I won't hold that against them, it's really a testament to how popular their restaurant is with that said, I really do wish they had more seating available. We went during the tail end of the summer, so it was extremely hot outside and eating breakfast out. The wait for a table was well over 30 minutes, so there was no way we were going to also eat our food outside. It was just not feasible without heat stroke. For context we live in the Pacific Northwest. What made up for this was the coffee shop that was connected to the building in the back that served amazing iced coffee to cool us down. Conclusion All in all, I give this place a solid, 4 out of 5 would recommend. Just be prepared to wait if you have more than three people in your party, and try to come early :-)
