max's coal oven pizza

yummy pizza near the georgia aquarium!greatplace for kids!. i took my girl scout troop here because it was close to the aquarium. we had a terrific experience! the staff was very friendly. the "pie slinger" even took the time to tell the girls all about the coal oven, and how the pizza is made. the girls loved that when a pizza comes out, they yell "hot pie!" the girls loved yelling it along with the pie slinger. a very enjoyable kid friendly place to eat! we will definitely go back next time we're in the area.

we were in vacation in atlanta and read the reviews on this place and decided to give it a try. the garlic knots could have used a little more garlic but the pizzas were amazing! i definitely reccomend the veggie and the meaty pizza.greatatmosphere and excellent staff.

food was great. very flavorful and fresh. service was notgreatat all. do not be in a hurry. we were not but they appeared to be short staffed and wait staff was very agitated. maybe they were having a bad night after a long weekend.

visited the restaurant after visiting the college football hall of fame and had agreatexperience. the restaurant is situated a short walk from centennial olympic park and the aquarium. they have a lovely outdoor eating space. upon walking inside, we were greeted immediately. the decor is on point, with a mix of industrial-chic. the service was prompt and friendly. we ordered a garden salad and a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and green peppers. the salad was only $6.00 and all the ingredients were so fresh. there was enough for us to have two servings each. the pizza was 12", 6 slices, and it was the best pizza i've had in atlanta (and i've been here for 15 years). the ingredients were fresh, the sauce was robust, and the crust was perfect. the crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. definitely worth every penny, plus some. definitely recommend.

casual but sophisticated atmosphere. awesome service.greatdrinks from bar. pizza was ready in under 10 minutes and was very delicious. crust was thin and the perfect level of crunchy.greatexperience withgreatfood.

great "local" pizza place!. after a visit to the ga aquarium & world of coca-cola, my family was in the mood for pizza & decided to try max's after reading urban spoon reviews. max's is a pizza place for the "locals" about two blocks from the aquarium.greatatmosphere but not fancy - just the way we like it! had the garlic knots (bread "knots" dipped in garlic & baked) - delicious appetizer. my wife & i shared a wonderful garden salad with amazing house balsamic dressing. our pizza was max's traditional with pepperoni & sausage, which was wonderful in every way - very flavorful. we would recommend max's highly & will eat there again our next trip to atlanta. oh, if you visit max's, if you park in the paid parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant, max's will validate your parking. enjoy!

absolutelygreatpizza and service. the bianca white pizza rocks.

tried to get into this place on saturday night and the wait was an hour so we and the family had to pass, but we came back for lunch on sunday!! wow i can honestly say this was some of the best pizza i've ever had!!greatchoice for a family with kids too. the pizza crust was cooked to perfection and the toppings were incredibly fresh and tasty. fast service too! highly recommend!!

i love this place. i'm not the largest pizza fan (especially of thin crust new york style) but i love it.greatdate spot.

great salad,greatpizza,greatservice!

excellent food & excellent service! were in town w/ our kids for a quick get away. decided on max's for dinner. the sausage & goat cheese pizza & greek salad was awesome. very kid friendly & reasonably priced. our server was very friendly & tookgreatcare of us.

very good pizza &greatatmosphere. from very tasty pizza to fun and engaged service to a nice beer selection, we couldn't have been happier. by far the most satisfying meal we had during four days in atlanta.

great experience. during an 8-hour layover at atl on our way back to los angeles, my bf and i decided to hop on the (extremely convenient) marta and explore the city.

we hit peachtree, which was, besides the tourists (oh god that was us too, oops) at olympic park and the aquarium, a ghost town.

we'd been up since about 4 am, and i made us miss our plane from raleigh (tee-hee), so we were both a little irritable, a bit tired, and extremely exhausted.

wanting to avoid chains, we stumbled onto max's, thought it closed (but clearly we were just to tired to really open the door) and our entire attitude and outlook on life transitioned in that very moment.

the entire staff, including some guests, greeted us. everyone was jovial, cute, and knowledegable about the area, the menu, the city, and interested in our day.

hank, our waiter (who also pulled us into the restaurant when we thought it closed) was amazing. he offered usgreatrecommendations, was super chill and yet engaging and charming. the pizza was comparable to the best of la and nyc (from two boots to mozza), and the portions were perfect.

we eat out often in la - a town full of culinary excellence and culinary attitude. max's cuisine and excellent service would not only compare out here, but would likely thrive.

not that everything should compare to la....typical ethnocentric entertainment guy. geez.

ohh so good. their was a vball tourney this weekend and our team basically went there every night. it was really good. the best is an 18 inch with onions and peperoni.greatnew place
