antico pizza

i have only been there once on the insistance of a friend. she raved about and there is always the concern that a resturant wont live up to someone else opinion. wow, i was not disappointed. it was without a doubt some of the best pizza i have ever had. not only is the pizza great, but it come out very quick. i was hesitant to write this review because this secret is already out.

really great pizza! loved the red wine as well. only down fall was the seating. lack thereof! overall great experience!

what pizza means to you. i went to antico after seeing raving reviews in cl and many other sources.
the menu didn't have a ton of variety, but the ingredients they use are interesting and uncommonly used in atlanta pizza, and there are only a few ingredients across the menu, so i assume this helps with keeping all foods used very fresh. after ordering, they told me to take a seat, and i got confused. i only saw one table, but each chair had "do not sit on" written on it. once i realized there was a backroom, it became clear, but no employee motioned toward it or told me about it :\ the dining room is very casual and laid-back, which gave it a nice vibe.
the pizza was okay. pros: the ingredients were very fresh. the flavors of each individual ingredient were good and mixed well. cons: there wasn't much sauce, which disappointed me because i'm a saucy-pizza eater. the flavors weren't strong.
overall, i think how much you like antico depends on what you look for in pizza. for me, pizza is a comfort food, and i openly accept innovative toppings and concepts. antico provides freshness and a certain organicness where they take fresh, very italian ingredients, and they don't add much more than what is necessary in making something defined as a pizza. if you're into that bare-necessities kind of thing, this place is cool. personally, it wasn't really my slice of pie.

awesome food. awesome pizza, very good test, i will visit this place agaim

best pizza in atlanta. the price is more expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. stop being cheap your whole life and pay more to get better things

very cool atmosphere, insane food! probably the best pizza i have ever eaten.

the food is amazing, but make sure you double check what you are ordering!!!!! they do not do well to admitting mistakes! the customer is not always right, i agree. but they were very rude and did not want to admit their mistakes! also the owner foes not recycle!!!! and hey throw away so many wine bottles and paper and plastics! get it together antico, then you will e the best pizza place in town! sorry

not so sure. heard great things about antico so my daughter and i waited in line with a hundred or so other drooling foodies to see if it was for real. the place was slammin'! a look at the ovens and the aromas had us anticipating a great pizza. topping were fresh and flavorful but we were disappointed by the flabby crust. i try again when they are less busy. looks to me like they can live up to their reputation if and when they take the time.

fantastic!!! everything about this place says good stuff. excellent service, the pizza was super!!! it is a must do!!

need a second visit. i was brought here by a friend for lunch out of convenience since it's right next to where i live, without hearing/reading about all the hype. i enjoyed the pizza and the unique settings and serving methods, as it was different than most, but i wouldn't say it's the best pizza in atlanta. i'm not a huge pizza fan either, so that might've affected my judgement, but just like the vortex, it just seems like people worship it for more than it's worth. the service was not great either... music was too loud and waitress/cashier was not helpful. the pizza are a little overprice too. i may return for a 2nd visit, but this wouldn't make my top 10 atlanta

i've been going to antico for some time now.... i am really writing this review to point out something that other reviewers seem to be missing.

the pizza from antico is soft on the inside of the pizza because that is how napoletana pizzas are constructed. they are supposed to be eaten using the "wallet" method. the pizza from antico is fantastic, albeit a bit expensive, but the most exceptional dining experience there can only be reached if you understand what sort of pizza you are getting yourself in to. if you are expecting a cardboard bottom that is stiff as a board, then you are going to have a bad time.

if you review this restaurant and claim to have had a bad experience because the pizza was "soggy" in the middle, then you have no one to blame but yourself for not understanding the food you are eating.

best pizza ever. incredible pizza!! great, slightly charred crust took me right back to italy. fresh, vibrant ingredients make any pizza stand out. byob and community tables add a fun element, too!

best pizza i've had. i could gush, but i'll rein it in. this is easily better than wonderful italian pizza i have had... in italy! something about the crust... it's a crazy experience going to antico. good luck finding a place to sit! we waited in line for it to open and got seats in the kitchen which was great fun. no plates. everyone eats at long tables off of the aluminum trays the pizza goes on after coming out of the oven. the pizzas are big. there were 5 of us (2 guys & 3 girls) and we ordered 2 pizzas and had a couple slices left over. be sure and elbow your way to the condiment bar and get a cup of olive oil and add-ins to dip the delecious crust in. i would go back tonight. loved it.

awesome customer service!. i loved their customer service! they were very polite and if you had any questions, even if it sounded stupid, they would kindly answer it, without you feeling stupid. the pizza is epic! i love it!! their crust and their cheese is very unique! it's like your in heaven! :)

amazing. seriously.. i have only been once, but that's all i need. the prices are a little high, but the pizza is so worth it. friends who have visited italy can attest to the fact that this pizza is as close as you can get without flying across the pond. the pizzas come out bubbling hot in 5-10 minutes tops and you eat off a large baking sheet with paper towels at your disposal. there are no plates. the sausage and sweet pepper pizza is amazing. don't skip this one.
