Antico Pizza

Atlanta's standard-bearer for authentic Italian-style pizza now has multiple locations. The original Antico, located in owner Giovanni Di Palma's Little Italia neighborhood just north west of Georgia Tech, boasts the highest score in Zagat's first-ever pizza survey of "Best Pizza in 23 U.S. Cities" (beating out New York City), a Zagat Atlanta food score of 28 (making it the highest scored restaurant in the city), and they took home the International "Top in Class" Award for the United States during a worldwide, two-day pizza festival in Salerno, Italy.

Crust

Robert C. via Yelp

There's not a lot of explaining on this one, except that if you're looking for the perfect pairing of light and airy crust, fresh toppings, tangy sauce and the perfect amount of cheese, this is the place. Located just down the block from the adorable (and chain-free) Alpharetta downtown square, Crust is worth a visit. 131 S Main St. Alpharetta, GA 30009 770-777-6789 Online: crust-pizzeria.com

Glide Pizza

Vyvy T. via Yelp

Located next to Krog Street Market, this pizza spot is known for its authentic NY style slice and the side of homemade ranch that comes with it. They make their own in-house mozzarella, sauces made fresh daily, and a half-sourdough crust that ferments for 48 hours for the ultimate flavor and light, crispy texture.

Blue Moon Pizza

Blue Moon Pizza via Yelp

Blue Moon Pizza is a casual, full-service pizza restaurant with a full bar to top it all off that began in Atlanta in 2003. Their thin crispy crust pie comes in the kid-friendly standard-bearers of cheese and pepperoni, but you'll find creative specialty pizzas (like Thai chicken) that will suit adventurous palates. We love the family meal deal ($40 for a family of 4), and their take-and-bake options.

Savage Pizza

Laure J. via Yelp

Savage is a Little 5 Point standard known for the perfect balance of not-too-thick but not-too-thin crust and cheese. For those whose kids are into super heroes, be sure to scope out the indoor decor. They'll be inspired. Plan ahead though, because you can only pick up whole pies at Savage.

If you're into great pizza AND dancing robots, then you've found your spot. Located on Buford Hwy., this spot is easy to access and interesting to visit. Pepper the hostess robot greets you, and after you order, server robots serve you. In addition to pizza, there are wings, subs, and salads. And in nice weather, the patio will be a solid choice.
