As a pizza connoisseur these guys know what theyre doing. Im a NYC guy who knows how thin crust pizza should be and they nail it! The slices fold and stay upright which is an accomplishment every pizzaria tries to achieve it the US. There are less than a handful places outside of NYC who can get it right (and i travel from east to west) and you can find it here in Mall of GA. I tried the Mooresville location 9 months prior and man it keeps getting better and better. Incredible ingredients from Italy and sauce is just right. From someone who eats Tums on a regular basis . . . no heartburn here after 4 or 5 slices. Tvs all around so you can watch your favorite sports while you browse through the fantastic beer selection. Plenty of desserts for the wife and kids and incredible service with free internet. Why would you ever want to leave?! Menu has plenty of options and I dont get the negative comments. ALL pizza gets soggy when you take it to go. Outside temperature, humidity will affect any pie. Any pizza that I took to go must go into the oven on high temp. Its a normal process and those who say otherwise are used to eating cardboard. This is thinner crust than most so I suggest you eat it here as it takes a few minutes to make vs other "standard thin crust" which take 15-20 min. Ill be back!

Excited to try out a wood fire pizza spot that was not far from me. I have a few spots I go to that are all far away and rarely visited. I wanted to place an order for pickup for a get together, but they have no phone number listed on Google or Facebook. I find a number on Yelp, but no answer after 4 calls with no voicemail. So what the hell, we go there to order and wait. It was done super quick, probably 8-10 minutes max. BTW, the receipt had a completely different phone number on it. We get home maybe 10 minutes later to try it and the pizza is super soggy. It was like the bread was soaked in water. We had 5 different people try it and all disliked it, so we threw 2 and a half pizzas in the trash...over $50 wasted. Not to mention there was cheese on maybe a 3rd of it. Not sure if it was an off-night or people giving them great reviews have never tried a good wood fire pizza.

We ordered the Lorenzo pizza. It was surprisingly good! All the fresh ingredients blended perfectly with every bite. The ingredients are imported from Italy every Thursday. Thats amazing! They also have salads, gelato, cakes and cheesecakes. The pistachio dessert was really good and I dont even like pistachio. The staff was well-mannered and neat. Big place, large tables, tvs, music in the background and highchairs; an amazing comfortable place. I recommend this place and we will return with our toddlers for more. Thank you Alino!

Amazing, Awesome pizza. Anticos in midtown is the best pizza in ATL and this place is very similar. Pizza is done and at your table in 2 minutes. My only complaint is the Bright, jarring lights and uncomfortable seating. The atmosphere doesnt make you want to stay very long, which is a shame. We ended up leaving to eat desert elsewhere. This will be my new take out pizza spot. So happy to have this type of pizza in the neighborhood instead of NY style.

I willingly deal with the Mall of GA traffic just to eat this pizza. Its what pizza should be: simple with quality toppings. The crust is perfectly balanced between crispy and chewy. The toppings are authentic and fresh. If you expect to come in and order a BBQ chicken or whatever mass produced gimmicky pizza, this place is not for you.

Best pizza place. Finally a real Italian pizzeria in my area; as certified by my Italian roommate! I will recommend this place to every person I meet if we are talking about food. Also I would like to thank the staff who have always been really friendly and kind every time we have come in. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Fantastic Pizza Experience! For those that love pizza(everybody that is), should really give this place a shot. Incredibly fast wood burning pizza ovens(four of them), out of this country European style setting, fantastic ingredients, delicious deserts, nice staff, etc. Enough said, will return!

Not sure about the bad reviews.... pizza too thin?? That is the whole reason you will come eat here...the crust!! This place is delizioso!!!! The location is perfect.. quick service... you never wait too long. My favorita is the Diavola and the Pepperoni pizza.

This is NOT mall pizza. We got the pepperoni because my kids have no sense of adventure but it did not disappoint. The crust is thin and has the perfect amount of bite, the toppings are fresh, condiment bar is unique, and the atmosphere is bright and modern.

The Belluci was the best pizza Ive ever had. Cremini mushrooms, caramelized onions, garlic, truffle oil. Rich aromas, full flavors, and the crust was "slightly charred for exquisite flavor," as advertised. Food was quickly ready and convenient location too.

Excellent pizza that was ready in a flash. They cook their pies in wood fired brick ovens and offer a variety of pizzas and toppings. Very similar to the pizza place near Georgia Tech except the drive is much shorter and the parking ample.

Very good pizzas and very good service. Glad to see an authentic style restaurant in the Mall of Georgia area. It is hands down the best option of all of the mall area restaurants, and it easily rivals the best pizza places in Atlanta.

Best pizza around by a long shot. Quality ingredients. Id eat their pizza every day of the week. Salads are fantastic and the cannolis are awesome. Love the atmosphere, but the food is second to none. This is real pizza folks.

We had the Belluci and Leonardo, as well a beer and some Tiramisu cheese cake. Of course, the pizzas are so large we had to take the rest to go. Tasted fresh and the ingredient flavours are really evident. We will be back.

Pizza was very delicious. Enjoyed the simplicity of the menu. Makes the decision easier since you can only order one size. Was disappointed in the chocolate cake. Tasted like the fridge it came out of.

My husband and I loved this place! I had to convince him at first because he isnt a big pizza guy, but he couldnt believe how good and authentic it was! We are gonna make it a regular date night place!

What kind of pizza please is this , no prusucito. Only one size, you cant make your pizza like half one kind the other half different. So many places pretend to be Italian in hours days.

Amazing authentic southern Italy pizza. One of the best Ive had. The pizza and desserts are made in house and the employees are very friendly. Very happy to have this place in Buford.

Pizza sauce wasnt authentic it was canned and too acidic with a nasty after taste and way too overpriced and not enough options on the menu however the crust was good just too thin
