TIMONEāS
1409 N. Highland Ave. N.E., Atlanta. www.timonespizzaatlanta.com. $$-$$$
1 of 5 stars [a worthy addition to its neighborhood, but the food is hit and miss]
Chef Ron Eyester established himself in the Morningside neighborhood with Rosebud in 2008 and the Family Dog three years later. Now he has embarked on a third project, Timoneās, a pizza house that he admitted has been āa challenging project.ā
Eyester said his new pizza joint is New York inspired, but he was careful to avoid calling it āauthentic.ā Indeed, youāll find oversized maps of that city lacquered on the tabletops, themed posters and weathered pressed-tin tiles lining the comfortable space. What you wonāt find at Timoneās is a perfected pie, authentic or otherwise.
Pizza serves as this restaurantās calling card, but whatever your preferred style, this one likely will rouse your ire. Timoneās is still a work in progress and wonāt yet be the place to savor the therapeutic goodness of a well-made slice.
Instead, it can be your spot for āmarinara Italianā ā a restaurant serving many comforting, traditional red sauce-based dishes. Donāt miss the sausage and peppers, with long slices of seared sweet Italian sausage layered with soft braised peppers in a spicy San Marzano tomato sauce.
