Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013Antico's San Gennaro pizza is tough to beat. Chunks of fennel-laced sausage mixed with mozzarella and peppers take this pie from good to great, securing a place on CL's list of 100 best dishes. Read more
Steve GriersonFebruary 4, 2017Best pizza in Georgia! Their brick oven pizzas have the perfect flavor. Compared to NYC they are on target for what pizza lovers are expecting. Fun atmosphere and BYOB is a plus.
Amanda NatividadOctober 22, 2014One of the most fantastic pizza experiences ever. Open space, open kitchen, BYOB, Italian music blasting, and 3 gorgeous wood-fired ovens. And the pizza, oh the pizza. Eat everything.
- Djaniella D.November 12, 2016One of the best coal-fired pizzas I've ever had. You MUST try the diavola - just enough heat to to give it the perfect kick!
Uba JerzmanowskiJune 16, 2018The dough is so soft with a bit of crunch to it. The Margarita and Napoletana are phenomenal. Last but not least the pizza comes straight out of the oven fresh and warm.10/10
Zach PippinMay 21, 2016Margarita pizza, or really anything. Best pizza I've ever had. Only restaurant I say is the best in any category in the world.
- Uba JerzmanowskiJune 16, 2018I would recommend this restaurant because the food is perfecto and the dough is so soft with a bit of crunch to it. The Margarita and Napoletana are phenomenal. 10/10
Virginie LiaoMarch 22, 2013just had the best thin crust pizza! get the san gennaro for the delectable swt red peppers. eating to the crust leaves u wanting more!! if this is ur 1st time, it will be the 1st of many more to come!
- Victor ScottJuly 25, 2016This is the best restaurant in Atlanta.Margarita pizza, I must say that the delicious pizza I've ever had. The environment was good. If you eat pizza there don't forget to have a cannoli for desert!!!
- Ken GrossApril 7, 2017Amazing hidden away word of mouth treasure. Sit in the kitchen area and enjoy the entire experience. Andre Bocelli, people, food. Fantastic pizza. Don't hesitate. I will take all of my friends.
Chefs FeedOctober 23, 2015"This pizza has the perfect amount of heat from the Calabrian chilies and spicy soppressata. It has a perfect crust and super fresh buffalo mozzarella as well." Chef Ford Fry Read more
Burt HermanOctober 17, 2013You have died and gone to pizza heaven when eating here. Three wood-fired ovens cook pizzas to perfection in minutes while opera music blares. This is the best pizza place I have ever been to anywhere
鈩仇潚娥潛庘檷October 29, 2015There is something about Antico's pizza that other pizza places cant mimic. Pizzas are just right enough to have you taste all the aspects of ingredients that go into the pizza. Oh, you can BYOB too馃嵎
Robbie FrostMarch 13, 2015Love the pizza, it's always done right. Service is fast. If it's busy (aka, evening) you will have to fight for some table space, but the community dining feel is really great. It can get loud though.
Mahammatt BabaMay 21, 2017All the pizza options are excellent. They make the pizza fresh. It's also BYOB. But they also sell beer, wine, and champagne.
James JohnsonOctober 10, 2015The Pizza is big enough to share...it's authentic. If you don't eat pork, you may be out of luck for the meat options. I always get the Marg... Save room for Gelatto and Cannoli across the street!
Eid茅October 11, 2012Best pizza in Atlanta! Authentic Italian Pizza Napoletana as originally made in Naples. Be patient - it gets packed but it's worth the wait. And don't forget to pick up a cannoli for dessert!
One of my top 2 neapolitan pizza places in Atlanta. This place does not disappoint -- sit near the ovens and watch the action!
BYOB! Bring a nice wine paring or a cold beer to enjoy with the best pizza in Atlanta. The Lasagna pizza is outstanding and the Diavolo is smokin' hot & tasty!! Get on the Gelato truck outside. Yummy!
Atlanta Eats TVJuly 17, 2013We'd sell our souls for the Diavola pizza, made with fresh Mozzarella di Bufala, spicy sopressata, and pepperonata and the San Gennaro which features fresh mozzarella, broccoli rabe, and salsiccia. Read more
DeneneJuly 11, 2012Thin, tasty crust, fresh ingredients--everything you want in an incredible slice. #heart! Downside: limited seating makes people sweat you while you eat. Don't be intimidated; enjoy your food!
Rachel BradenJune 11, 2012It was absolutely amazing! The pizza was the best I've ever had, the atmosphere was unique and the cannoli were delicious...and I don't really like cannoli! I highly recommend the lasagna pizza.
- Chefs FeedDecember 14, 2015"The flour is imported from Italy, the tomatoes are vine-ripened, and the owner does not allow substitutions, which keeps the integrity of his original pies." Chef Cyrille Holota Read more
If you are claustrophobic, atmosphere on a Saturday evening is not the place for you. However, super lively and authentic and pizza was delicious. Felt like I was in Italy
Noemi RamosAugust 10, 2013Very low key ! I love it is fast , and super fresh . The pizza is great you can choose the fresh basil and olive oil from the counter ... Very simple but fresh !!
Jeiran HasanFebruary 25, 2016Anything and everything!! Order the pizza- takes about 5 min, and in the meantime, TRY to find someplace to sit. Freshly grated Parmesan available in the back.
If there is a line, wait. Turn over is fast. To my fellow Italians, this place has amazing old world style pizza, it's amazing. You definitely want to eat here.- Stephen PerleDecember 13, 2021One of the best pizzas I鈥檝e had anywhere in the US including NYC and New Haven. Sophia & verdure
- Chefs FeedDecember 14, 2015"Their traditional Neapolitan pizza is hard to beat, but the Diavola is the cream of the crop with its spicy soppressata and peppers." Chef Whitney Otawka Read more
EaterOctober 4, 2011National recognition and a cult following have only fed their progress; plans for expansion are blazing away like the imported Acunto ovens that feed the masses. [Eater 38 Member]
Kiersten FApril 29, 2011Lovely convivial atmosphere but the pizza (and cannoli's!) are devour-worthy. BYOB--amazing. Get anything. Make sure to say hello and thank you to the chefs before you leave it's well deserved!- Nicholas MarblestoneAugust 7, 2014The pizza here is absolutely amazing. The owner came straight from Italy so he knows what he's doing in the kitchen. Takes about 2 minutes to receive your pizza!
Jay LJuly 7, 2017Everything was great! They don't sell beer but you can bring your own! Also you can eat outside if it is crowded inside.
Really good pizza! They only sell big pizzas so if you are planning to go alone be prepared to take a big quantity back home
Shally SteckerlJune 19, 2019San Genaro is heaven on earth, but get the d铆avolo if you want to really entertain your taste buds
Antonio YonSeptember 23, 2016Pizza, pizza, pizza. There are no bad options. Remember to BYOB and find your seat fast as your order will be ready in minutes.
Spoon UniversityMay 6, 2016This authentic pizzeria is a staple on the Instagram feed. You can鈥檛 go wrong with a classic Margherita 鈥� you鈥檙e definitely guaranteed to rack up at least 100 likes. Read more
Hands down the best pizza in the city. Really can't go wrong with any of them, though I'm partial to the San Gennaro.
The San Gennaro is hands down my favorite. All though many may claim the Diavola as a close second ;). BYOB and don't forget to offer Giuseppe a glass of wine when you see him!
EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014Try the San Gennaro, and you'll understand why. The pizza's rippling, chewy edges give way to a thinner center generously strewn with primo ingredients. Read more
emanuele capoJuly 3, 2010As an Italian in Atlanta I must say that this place is 100% authentic. Every ingredient is one you'd actually find in Italy and the fact that They have a real wood burning oven is amazing. If you love
Don't worry if there is a huge line and nowhere to sit. It goes fast and the pizza was delivered as our butts hit the seats. And it was delish!!! The desserts look amazing too!
This is the top in Atlanta. I recommend the Napolitana and grab some of the peppers from over by the kitchen.
edward andristAugust 31, 2011You simply can't go wrong with their wood fired pizza, its a BYO wine also without an opening charge. Fun atmosphere, great for groups but it can get loud so don't expect a quiet evening
Derrick R.October 19, 2013Fast service, great food and cute patrons/eyecandy. Family style dining so be prepared to wait for a table on busy nights.
A lot more strict than I remember. No substitutions, no add-ons, but the pizza is still amazing. Just come ready knowing what you want to order.
William WaldripJanuary 22, 2014This place is so good. Don't be scared by the line it moves fast. they have beer and wine but you can bring your own.
