Varasano's Pizzeria opened on Peachtree Street in Buckhead in March 2009, the product of owner Jeff Varasano's years-long pursuit of the New York pizza he grew up on, chasing it through flour mills, oven manufacturers, and a home kitchen's worth of destroyed appliances before opening a restaurant around it. The pies come out of an 800-degree oven with thin, crisped crusts.
The menu runs on the pizza and a handful of sides regulars keep ordering, including the spinach salad. Diners can also book "Slice of Heaven," a chef's table sampling where Varasano makes the pizza in front of guests.
The dining room reads as relaxed and neighborhood-feeling, with dogs welcome on the patio. Regulars describe it as a local gem, praising the food, service, and atmosphere, though portion size on some dishes has drawn debate.
