incredible experience!! i planned a work party at the midtown location and it could not have gone smoother or had better vibes. the greatest part aside from the awesome food though was Marco!! he made everything so easy to confirm our reservation and the space was perfect for our event. day of, his service and attention to each of my coworkers was so special, making sure everyone was taken care of and happy with what they were drinking and eating. the semi private room was perfectly set up when we arrived(early), and it was right off of their patio space which is so nice. he and his team were AMAZING!! couldn't recommend more- we will be back! read more

Varuni is a solid bet. It's an eclectic Italian spot with a fun atmosphere and quality eats. We had the Varuni Salad and the Mammas pizza, both were delicious -- especially the salad, the prosciutto was a REALLY nice touch of flavor. We finished the meal with Tiramisu and Cannoli and believe me when I tell you, you definitely HAVE to get these desserts. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious pizza. Went to Antico last time I visited Atlanta and think Varuni Napoli is even better! Delicious airy crust and sauce is excellent. Ordered the Maradona - which definitely return here. This was my favorite meal of the weekend. read more

I remember seeing the signs, that the restaurant would open up, and being really excited to try a new place. Driving by, I saw the place was open one day, for what turned out to be the pre-opening media day, and was hooked ever since then. Highly recommend as it's the best pizza in Atlanta. read more

Made us sit wait outside after their opening hours while others were served inside. Zero pleasantries or even kindness. "What do you want?" "Here you go". And then pretty poor pizza. Had the Pako and the basil was the only flavor you could pick out on every third slice. Then it was just plain soggy in the middle. Couldn't pick it up without the toppings sliding off. I've had pizza in Naples and they would be disappointed with this. read more

Fantastic Neapolitan pizza. Great atmosphere, easy parking, and very friendly staff. Always an awesome experience.

Despite being disappointed with our pies in the last six months, we decided to give Varuni's one more chance, since it is super close. We specifically told the server that we had problems with a soggy middle of pies and we wanted our pie cooked well done, extra crunchy. Their first delivery, we did not get off the tray, it was a soupy mess. My friend explained our request and they made another pie. Even more of a soup soggy mess. Disgusted, I wanted to leave, but my friend got a box. When we got it home, I had my air fryer on 450 and cooked that pie more than 10 minutes before the crust was cook through. I know they've had a great reputation, but this was unacceptable. read more

Varuni Napoli - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was craving Neapolitan style pizza so I hopped on UberEats as well as consulted Yelp, and started looking for a place. Immediately, I was drawn to a pizza that ordinarily may not have caught my eye, in comparison to others I usually am drawn to like a Margherita or something with mushrooms and/or truffle. It sounded delicious though, and the reviews were promising. I ordered the Bastardo--Mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, pepperoni, Nduja (spicy spreadable pork sausage in ragu sauce), Pecorino romano, and basil. For my appetizer, I went with the Arugula Salad--Wild arugula, shaved Pecorino, lemon infused olive oil from Sorrento and fresh lemon juice. For an almost $30 pizza, the portion is very small. It seems like they cut small slices to try to disguise the fact that you're not getting much product. Regardless, it tasted delicious. While not very spicy, it was flavorful and satisfying. I warmed it up in my air fryer, which maintained the integrity of the pizza! Onto the Arugula salad--it is $12. This makes sense with Varuni Napoli's price range, but when you think about the fact that you're essentially just getting a bunch of arugula with shaved cheese, a lemon wedge, and lemon infused olive oil, it seems pricier than what it's worth. To be fair, I must also take into account that I ordered takeout. If I had dined in with an ambiance and service to enjoy, I'm sure I would've seen the price as fair enough. With that said, I would love to try more of Varuni's dishes! Most likely, I will choose to dine in instead to make the cost more worth it. I look forward to bringing my boyfriend with me and sharing wine and several pizzas! read more

I have such mixed feelings about this location. They have better pizza options here than at their Krog location. Our go to pizzas are the Bastardo and the Maradona and we have dined here as a family over 10 times. The quality of ingredients are excellent. We love the freshness of the dough. Highly recommend ordering and dining in versus doing pickup or delivery. We have noticed that the quality of the pizza suffers if it isn't fresh out of the oven and doesn't reheat in the oven at home well either (compared to other style pizzas). The reason I don't give 5 stars is because there's something strange about the ambiance. My wife who is black doesn't feel comfortable dining in there, the staff have never been rude to us but they have been slightly unfriendly and otherwise completely indifferent to us. Given the frequency we have eaten here and the familiarity, and the fact that we are in Atlanta and they have black staff, we expected some southern hospitality or at least head nods of acknowledgement and have never received it. Our kids enjoy watching them make the pizza before putting them in the oven and we've observed staff interact with other people's kids and give them little tastes of things or make them laugh but we haven't experienced that so unfortunately we have stopped going because it just feels strange and we feel invisible despite how much we enjoy the food itself. I do like how clean the bathrooms are, esp for the kids, and the outdoor seating and general seating arrangements are plentiful and convenient esp for kids. I do not like how delivery cars and people ordering from the window park on the right lane of Monroe when they could easily just enter the parking lot and go to the back entrance to order / pickup read more

Still after almost 10 years Varuni is hands down our favorite pizza in Atlanta...both Midtown and KSM locations. Our visit this weekend was to the original Midtown location and it was tops. Wasn't too crowded when we got there but it was pretty packed when we departed. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and it arrived hanging over the plate and chock full of perfectly cooked cup pepperonis. One would think they were in Naples when eating this pie. Nothing like US pizzas. Totally fresh and made to order and cooked in a wood oven. It had the great char around the edges. We scarfed it up and left happy Service as always was great. Highly recommend. read more

No comments.... just perfection. Best pizza I have ever had. They were busy tonight and it took a bit of extra time to get our pizza but they topped up our wine. Not expected or needed but it shows they care about their customers. read more

This place was great! After an experience next door we crashed here and was NOT disappointed. We were greeted and reviewed the menu. Ordered the eggplant parmesan, meatballs, pizza and wine. We sat at the bar in front of the wood fire ovens. Got to watch our meals being prepared and had the most pleasant conversation with the pizza makers. The meatballs were FIRE! They were amazing, wonderful combo of meats and hand made...AMAZING. The pizza was also just the best pizza I have had in a long time. They finish with actual Italian olive oil which took the experience to another level. Then oh whoa almost forgot about their dessert. We ordered the pistachio cake and tiramisu. WOW, the dessert was simply beautiful and perfect amount of sweetness. Everything was fresh and amazing. All the employees there were wonderful welcoming and kind. Such a great place! Will be back for sure!! read more

Varuni Napoli - a glass of wine and a bottle of wine - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Hands down my favorite pizza in ATL. The chefs are all super friendly and say hi every time you walk in.

Visited as a family to try a new pizza place in Atlanta. Kids got OVERPRICED calzones We had an OVERPRICED pizza The calzones were not good! ... we were told "no substitutions, we could omit items and not add items - sounds premade, taste pre-made. The pizza, ordered the white pizza, was flavorless. You would expect a buttery garlic base for traditional white pizza ... nope! The pizza had no flavor. Overall, will not return. Feel we wasted $60 on tasteless food and a rude staff. The pizza "freshly cooked" was put in 7 minutes ... seemed reheated. The calzone had toppings on top? ... definitely not traditional or tasty. The location is nice, but the staff a d overpriced food will keep us away Stay Away. !!!!! read more

In my quest for pizza in Atlanta, this was my next stop. I tried the oro bianco, mozzarella sticks, and the pistachio cheesecake. Everything was great but not extraordinary. As a cheesecake hater, theirs did not have a lot of the traditional cheesecake texture/taste which I appreciated. I'll have to try a red pie the next time. read more

Came here on a first date (lol), and the vibe and food was so good! We got the margherita pizza with added pepperoni, which was fairly pricey ($26 total ), but i would say worth it when split between two people! I tend to be quite picky with the cheese and sauce ratios on pizzas, and i was nervous about not having enough mozzarella to counteract the sauciness, but it was the perfect ratio and they added tons of pepperoni! The crust was some of the best I've ever had too! I also loved the free self serve water and toppings/seasonings- garlic, red pepper, and parmesan. Overall, this is the best neapolitan pizza I've had in the Atlanta area and the workers were super friendly as well! Definitely will come back and will recommend to others!! :) read more

The white pizza was so delicious the first time, we had to return for more. First, the friendly staff greeted us upon arrival at the restaurant. We placed our order, were given a number, and selected a table overlooking the kitchen's open preparation and cooking areas. Several diners were sitting in the beautiful outdoor dining area. The tables are shaded and offer a great place to enjoy your meal. My better half and I decided to try the eggplant parmigiana plate as our appetizer. Wow, this was the best eggplant parm dish that I have ever had the pleasure of eating. No heavy breading smothering this eggplant but rather the flavor of olive oil and fresh tomato marinara sauce. Fresh mozzarella and basil complete this must try appetizer. This appetizer included two toasted slices of the most airy, light Italian bread. The Chiattona Benni pizza was prepared by the owner and General Manager and was perfectly assembled and cooked. This restaurant's white pizzas are made from scratch using the best ingredients and baked in their wood fired ovens. Their artisan pizzas are a must try. For dessert we shared a cannoli and a cup of gelato. The cannoli is freshly assembled when you place your order. The filling for the cannoli is creamy, rich, absolutely scrumptious and a must try. The gelato we tried was pistachio flavor and was very good. However, the cannoli was the star of the show for dessert. Once again, this Neapolitan pizza restaurant is a MUST try for any pizza lover. read more

The pizza especially the margarita pizza was delicious. The service was amazing. The ambience was truly astounding.

We can't say enough great things about Varuni! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the warm and animated presence of the staff. Our kids absolutely love visiting Varuni, especially since Marco, the manager, creates a fun and friendly experience for them. The kids were given a piece of dough and Marco took the time to show them how to create mini pizzas, turning our dining experience into an unforgettable adventure. But the highlight of Varuni Napoli is, of course, the pizza, especially the Margherita and Bastardo! The best we've had in the city. Varuni Napoli has set the bar high for what a true pizza experience should be. read more

This review is for takeout only. They have a takeout window, so you don't even have to go inside! We took our food and ate at Orpheus, just a short walk away! Here's what we got: - Meatballs ($12): Good. - Pako ($22): We got it without the Italian sausage. They wouldn't let us sub it for anything else. It was good, but didn't knock my socks off. - Special of the Week, 7/31/21 (white pizza with ricotta, slices of meatballs, tomatoes, and either spinach or basil): This was my favorite of the two pizzas we got. The ricotta was the chef's kiss. With tax and tip, it came out to about $60 for 4 people. We had one slice of pizza leftover! $15 per person isn't bad. My friend said the Eggplant Parmesan is really good, so we'll have to come back for that! read more

These guys really take Covid precautions extremely seriously! I have been to this location several times but this was my first since the pandemic. I was greatly impressed by the way they have adapted to pandemic life. Both the entrance points are manned by staffers who take your temperature upon entering. They had touchfree sanitizers placed strategically around all tables. Glass dividers on larger tables for easy separate to handle many small groups. All staff were masked up appropriately( no dropping, below nose masking). Just impressive! It was a busy Saturday dinner crowd and I didn't see them slip up even once! The food as always was great. We got the margarita and Bianco pizza. I Preferred the latter. We also got mozzarella sticks and eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant Parmesan was the star of the evening. It was soo good that we didn't even wait to take pictures. Overall: great food in a very safe environment! read more

One of the best pizzas I've had outside NYC! I always love thin crust and tend to opt for cheese or margherita, but I heard wonderful reviews about the Bastardo here. It didn't disappoint with the salty cupped pepperoni and the star was the unique Nduja sauce with its spicy pork-y flavor. Because of all the toppings and how thin the dough is (I could see my whole hand through the pizza!), this pizza was more flimsy than I expected but I wouldn't sacrifice anything to change that one aspect. There's also a side area with a lot of extras like pickled red chiles, spicy oil, olive oil, fresh garlic, and fresh parm). The service and ambience were also great, would be an awesome place to have a large get together or an intimate cozy dinner. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

Varuni Napoli - Bastardo - Pizza Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

September 12, 2020 On a walk through Piedmont park our hunger pangs began and upon hearing the words Pizza we looked for the closest pie shop and voila, just a few more steps ahead, we arrived at Varuni Napoli! This is a certified Napolitano pizzaria. The wood fired stoves are authentic, from Naples and so is the flower which the pizza is made. We ordered there mozzarella sticks, Paco pizza, and chocolate chip cannoli for the starter, main and dessert. The sticks came with a hot marinara dipping sauce and were delicious. The pizza had beautiful leoparding on the dough which was nice and spongy. The cannoli was fluffy and creamy with a good crunchy cookie. We enjoyed the pizza and atmosphere with Blue Eyes singing in the background. Of course the open kitchen is fantastic too. Really helps to see how the pies are put together. Social distancing was also well enforced here, our temperature checked at the door, which provided some measure of comfort. Definitely would come again. read more

Not your normal slice of pizza The pies here are cooked quickly and made with the freshest of ingredients. Their menu consists of a side of pizza pies that are with red sauce and a side of pies with white sauce. Truffles, fresh cheeses, you name it, if it's high quality they have it. Over the years they have had special pasta nights that were amazing. You'll find a full bar, cannolis and coffee! They have an area in the back they can dedicate for a party - which I did one year for my birthday. Pizza and wine - say no more! We had a wonderful experience. You can park in the parking lot connected to the massage place and there is an entrance around back as well, you don't have to walk to Monroe to get in. They have a walk up window on Monroe if you want to grab and go. You place your order at the front register and they bring your order to you. Water is available at wash table and they have seating at the bar as well. On the side they have Parmesan, red pepper flakes and one other condiment I can't remember, but always fresh and refilled. Forever Favorite of mine! read more

Top service! top quality ingredients! And Top Pizza. Wow! Thank you Marco. Best in Atlanta! Congrats to you and Varuni team!

Pizza was awesome! I really enjoyed it and I'm not the biggest pizza person. We got the Maradona Price which had Fresh mozzarella, Italian sausage, Peppadew Peppers, roasted mushrooms, Pecorino Romano, Basil. I have to warn of ONE thing. Do NOT get the Bloody Mary. I love bloody Mary's and I legit couldn't even finish mine. If you ever wondered what a marinara sauce slushee taste like, this is it, and you should try it. But other wise stay away! All the other beverage seemed just fine tho. read more

Great experiences in the past. However, very underbaked recently. Soggy and doughy. Disappointing.

Pizza is great. I just think for the size you get it's overpriced. Flavor and crust is outstanding though.
