Pizza: Hearth Pizza Tavern & Siracusa’s

June 27, 2011

Yeah, it’s no secret I’m sort of a pizza nut. I love the stuff; I like reading about it, writing about it, discussing it, cooking it, of course consuming/inhaling it, and hell, I even like looking at it. My obsession level is still probably sophomoric compared to that of many. Go check out the pizza freaks on [...]

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

February 11, 2010

A few weeks ago I had a strong desire to make deep dish pizza, even though I really don’t have any personal history with the large, sauce-topped pies. I’ve never had it in Chicago, I’ve been to an Uno Chicago Grill franchise once, and one time I visited Nancy’s in Buckhead (wasn’t impressed). The Neapolitan [...]

Antico Pizza Napoletana – To Go

October 11, 2009

The dining frenzy that has ensued since Blissful Glutton first posted on Antico Pizza on Hemphill has been swift, in fact, I don’t know that I’ve seen any establishment be so well received in such a short period of time (check out the 42 five star reviews on Yelp). And yes, I too have succumb [...]

Mama Niki’s Pizza

August 26, 2009

Sometimes it’s fun to play restaurant hunter. If I’m driving around and hunger strikes, I’ve become prone to just pop in to some place I’ve never heard of, or a restaurant of which I have a totally uneducated opinion. When this happens, I’m usually riding around by myself, so I don’t feel too bad about [...]

Quick Bite: Max’s Coal Oven Pizzeria

June 29, 2009

Clearly the pizza scene has escalated in Atlanta in just a few short months. The addition of Varasano’s and the new pizzaiolo at Fritti have quashed the Atlanta rumor that you can’t get good pizza in town. I’ve mostly stayed out of it, but I did watch the great Varasano’s debate from the sidelines, and [...]

Bon Appétit: Pizzas with Arugula-Pistachio Pesto & Roasted-Tomato Sauce

May 4, 2009

Hot on the heels of my last post in my monthly Bon Appétit series, I’ve got the April issue post for you. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m quite the “list & series” type of person, which really fits my Type A (uptight?) personality. I keep lists for everything. You ought to see [...]

Fritti Back on the Scene

March 27, 2009

It’s been well reported (including here) that Fritti has recently hired a new pizzaolo, Enrico Liberato. This doesn’t just mean it’s a new person working the oven, but the actual pizza style and the dough have changed, relatively significantly. Bliss posted on it today, and I pretty much agree with her on all counts (so [...]

Damn You Wednesday!

March 24, 2009

So after getting my tux cleaned for the Tuesday opening of Varasano’s, Jeff comes out on Facebook and announces that he’s opening Wednesday. I had hoped that the Tuesday open would stay under the radar and I could get a table, but now that every blog in town, Creative Loafing, and Slice has picked this [...]
