Atlanta's pizza runs from Neapolitan purism to slice-shop comfort. Antico Pizza Napoletana in West Midtown, on Hemphill Avenue, is the city's wood-fired benchmark, while Fellini's Pizza on Ponce de Leon Avenue is the long-running local slice institution.
Giovanni Di Palma's West Midtown pizzeria in Atlanta opened 2009 with wood-fired Neapolitan pies certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana.
OrderPizza San Gennaro (with sausage and Vesuvius peppers); the Diavola for spice.
TipCommunal tables, no reservations. Wine is BYOB at the original Hemphill location. Buckhead and Decatur sister locations take reservations.
Fellini's Pizza in Atlanta has run New York-style slices and 18-inch pies out of nine locations since 1985, with the original Ponce de Leon shop the cult.
