Where’s Your Favorite Slice?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A few pizza spots opening in the area:
Varasano’s Pizzeria will open in the spa-inspired residential building Mezzo in Midtown/Buckhead. Varasano is the internet/engineer/pizza/guru/dude who “engineered” the perfect Bronx pizza though rigorous trial and error and, apparently, lots of house parties in his Buckhead home.
Early November will bring Pizzeria Venti, the chain from Florida, to Lenox Village shopping center in Buckhead. This is the first of this fast-casual concept with pasta, pizza and gelato to open in the Atlanta area.
Pizza Fusion, the uber green chain “saving the world one pizza at a time” is opening five stores in the area, the first on Peachtree near H & F Bread Company. This joint does everything from recycling the heat from their ovens to heat their water to making their sinks out of green-friendly bamboo. Crazy.
I welcome the slices, one and all. Nothing gets a girl through like a mean slice of pizza. Meanwhile I’ll head to Baraonda for a thin slice with nothing but cheese, or Floatway Cafe (the city’s best-kept secret on pizza) for a wood oven-fired slice of margherita. Maybe I’ll head to Rosa’s on Broad Street downtown for a New Jersey reality check. I could head to Fritti for a gooey slice of quattro formaggi. Nevermind — I’m staying in and noshing on Mellow Mushroom’s sausage and wathing a Coen Brothers movie.
