    The cook at work.

    Decided to go to Avondale Pizza Cafe with friends this week. We haven't been in about a year. No reason, just forgot about it. As we sat and looked at the menu and decided that we could split a large but also had a lot of questions. One being, can we get the thin crust that goes with the white pizzas...no problem. Then we had to agree on ingredients. Four older adults, set in their likes and dislikes, finally agreed on a sausage and onion pizza(I said I think the sausage is very good but I can't remember), pretzel with sauce. Niya, our server was as patient as could be. The pretzel arrived and it looked great. Loads of garlic for the two garlic lovers. They said is was perfect and not bite left. There was some left over sauce but it did not go to waste. Then the pizza arrived and it was huge. The ingredients looks great and I couldn't wait to dive in. We all agreed that the sausage was the best in the city. The slices were huge. They pizza was perfectly cooked. And so big that we had leftovers! Service was great and the place was very crowded. Costs were extremely reasonable. We all agreed that we must return sooner than later. Sorry no pictures of the food.

    Love pizza cafe! great bar staff and place for regulars. clean and open. and the best calzones anywhere! prices are good for the amount of food you get. food is fresh and the dough is phenomenal. in fact, we go back for the pizza dough. lots of extra sauce on the side which is always an extra win for me!

    I went here on 6-21-25. I see why they been in business so long. The pizza that I got is delicious bbq chicken pizza! I've been to this place once before with a cool chiropractor who had a business on Memorial Dr years ago before he relocated. I also got the 5 PC lemon pepper wings. I asked for blue cheese and was giving ranch instead the wings are good also.. The bbq chicken pizza is delicious! They also have a lunch special Mon - Fri

    Awww man there are no words for the disappointment we experienced eating here. The pizza is disgusting smh there are no other words for it. Based on the Google reviews and pictures of the slices, I just knew we were going to have a good experience. We did not. I'm only judging the food because we just ordered and left. As soon as I saw the cheese, I knew we had a nasty pizza on our hands. There is no way to describe it - it's clumpy, thick but not sticking to the dough. The toppings taste musty, it's just weird and I'm getting sick as I talk about it. It's two of us and we ate one slice a piece and the rest is going to be thrown away. The Garlic Bread isn't toasted, we brought it home and tried to toast it but it's flavorless and taste like hot dog bun.

    Met up with my friend here for drinks and a quick meal as I'm passing through Atlanta. I wouldn't call it "New York pizza" but it's still good. And the service? Fabulous, friendly and attentive. After two hours of fighting Atlanta's world-class traffic to get here, I seriously couldn't think clearly enough to even place a drink order. I asked for a cocktail, something sweet and a few minutes later, that's what I had. Something that could have been a Sea Breeze with sweet and sour that perfectly hit the spot. With a cold drink in hand, I was able to order a slice of pizza. The barbecue is loaded - almost overloaded - with chicken and sauteed onions and cheese and barbecue sauce. I'm glad I only got the one slice because this was a full meal all by itself. A neat little local watering hole and yes, they have more than just pizza.

    Awesome pizza. I've had several pizza places near by and the Pizza Cafe is consistently the best pie. Service is always very friendly. Don't sleep on the French fries. The salad is a little small and lacking for $5. My only complaint!

    Avalanche on one half  and spinach, chicken, artichoke on the other half

    This place is a hidden gem! The pizza is always delicious it's best in Atlanta in my opinion!!! I usually get the wings too we like the hot with lemon pepper sprinkles they are always on point. The waitresses are always friendly and personable. You can tell a lot of the locals go there a lot to eat. I would too if I were closer. The place itself its nothing fancy ...just good food and good service... I was really surprised it wasn't rated much higher.

We usually have to circle around to find a spot, and walk to the restaurant. We came by for lunch on a Sunday. I like both the exterior and the interior design of the restaurant. The server was friendly and professional. We ordered drinks and two entrées. There was only one other table besides us, so just two tables total in the restaurant. After our drinks arrived, it took more than 45 minutes for the food to come out. The food itself was delicious. We had the half chicken and the trout. The ingredient quality is high, you can really taste it. However, the wait time was a bit too long, especially considering how empty the restaurant was. Aside from the long wait, everything else was good. I wonder if the delay was because we came shortly after they opened for lunch, but if they're open, the kitchen should be ready. Overall, the food is quite good, though the entree menu is somewhat limited, if excluding the pasta. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth trying. Personally, I'm not sure if I would come back. I'd rather not experience that long wait again, but maybe it was just an off day when I visited.

There was plenty of seating when we were walked in. Parking: This spot is located in downtown Decatur, so there are a variety of paid parking options (street parking, parking decks). Make sure to read the signs as there may be free parking on Sundays. Food: We ordered so much from the menu! Our favorite was the Heirloom Tomatoes, so make sure you grab that. It paired perfectly with the Bread & Butter. We also ordered the Crispy Potatoes, the Cacio e Pepe, and the Rigatoni. We weren't the biggest fans of the Rigatoni. There was what we think were raisins in there, which really threw things off. Drinks: There are so many options from cocktails to wine to beer. We both opted for aperitifs and enjoyed them! Vibe: We really enjoyed the space. It's small and intimate, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

She also clued us into the fact that you can get all of their entree pastas in appetizer size! This means we were able to try more pastas as well as enjoy an app and dessert. We ordered a bottle of Nero D'Avola, which was smooth and delicious. We got the meatballs as our appetizer, which were super tender and full of flavor. We split the rigatoni alla vodka, fettucine ai funghi, and tagliatelle bolognese. All were perfection. I loved the creaminess of the alla vodka, which had a kick of spice from the chili oil. I loved the herbiness and freshness of both the ai funghi with its sage and the bolognese with its rosemary. The tiramisu was the only dish that was just ok. I would much rather have espresso drenched ladyfingers than coffee liquor. But it was still good so I cannot complain. The waitress also surprised us with prosecco with a lemon rind twist to celebrate the fact that we had just closed on our first ever home. All in all - it was a perfect evening.

We did arrive here a bit early for our reservation but were seated right next to the open kitchen, so it felt quite crowded and cramped. It's a very, very small restaurant and it was freezing where we sat because we were under the vents. Our server, Mary Catherine, was a treat and she took good care of us. She took our drink orders, though I didn't drink tonight. For appetizers, we started with the calamari and stuffed clams. They also offered complementary bread and olive oil basket that was served warm, yum! Our food orders came out pretty fast actually. The calamari was not your typical fried calamari - it was delicious and loved the mix of raw onions in it for that fresh bite. I'm not a fan of clams so I didn't try this, but heard it was just breading and can't really taste the clam taste. For my entree, I ordered the spaghetti pomodoro with meatballs. I had been dreaming about this since making the reservations and it did not disappoint. The pasta was cooked al dente and the sauce was wonderful. I did think the meatballs were a tad too salty for my taste and I'm glad I opted out of the freshly grated parm because I feel like that would have made everything saltier. After our meal, they brought out free dessert for the birthday celebrants. Nothing but raves were said after our dinner here and we're definitely looking forward to coming back here again.

She said we don't pick up the phones during service hours just email us, frankly, if I have to email a restaurant I don't want to dine there. And also there email was nowhere to be found on the website. Thankfully, we called back the next day (hopefully during a less busy time? 5:30, they changed it for us in two second so not sure why the other lady had such an attitude about it. Almost really ruined my experience and I was going to dine elsewhere. Started off with focaccia and beef carpaccio. The beef carpaccio was good! Although very very thin serving. We got two pasta dishes and th trout. The pasta dish with shrimp only came with five small pastas, I thought this was kind of pricey and crazy! $32 for five pieces of pasta?! The pork pasta dish was also very very salty. Though a bigger portion for $34, it was okay at best. The trout was definitely the better entree in my opinion. We also got a slice of tiramisu, and this was my favorite item all night. It was sweet and light! They also don't give any free appetizers for your birthday just fyi! The server was friendly, and came to check on us frequently. Overall, the food was okay, and the phone service was off putting. I think it's a quaint and cozy restaurant to experience once, but would def get a better bang for your buck elsewhere.

    Very weird experience. Netting out at three stars…read more The food was good. The beet salad was whatever but the beef carpaccio, polenta cakes, pasta, all good. But also insanely overpriced. $32 for rigatoni with a red meat sauce? $16 for two small polenta cakes? It was good but those are MARGINS. And honestly all of that would have been fine if the service wasn't so rushed. We were told to order everything upfront and they'd course it out for us.... And then all of our plates arrived at the same time. It was my husband's birthday and we wanted to sit and have a nice date night meal and they had us out of there 34 minutes later. That was for three apps and an entree. I genuinely don't know if I go back.

It's cozy, (plenty warm) and romantic! It was 32 degrees outside, but completely comfortably warm, inside. You truly wouldn't know you weren't inside. Any way, I've eaten my way through Inman Park but somehow hadn't yet indulged in the delectable Sotto Sotto. This might just be my new favorite Italian in Atlanta. It was absolutely delicious. Across the table (thanks to the half portion option), we tried at least 8 items on the menu! Each one was more special then the next. Our incredible server Kagen (sp?) walked us through each section of the menu absolutely perfectly. As a result we ended up ordering some of his favs from across the menu. In my photos you can see what we ordered, but my recommendation is to simply ask your server what they like and you'll undoubtably get something stellar. In a market of many, great Italian options, Sotto Sotto might just be the BEST and my new fav!!! I absolutely can't wait to return.

However the server we had tonight was one of the worst experiences I've had especially for a place that is trying to sell an upscale dining environment he greeted the table by saying (after we asked how he was doing) "I'm doing f-ing horrible I'm tired and feel like sh*t we had such a busy night last night" he was not very knowledgeable about menu or drinks and his overall appearance gave very much unhygienic he also forgot to put in our food order so we waited double the time and said that since we already had appetizers and the other table did not have any food that we could wait to order food, also just assumed how someone in my group wanted there steak cooked so had to wait for that to be redone, he was all over the place and did not check in on us very often we needed things like refills or salt pepper etc. and went without because bad service I don't think he should have been working he obviously did not want to be there he also failed to mention that the kitchen was closing so we did not get to try the desserts. There were a couple of other things but don't want a 5 page review I cannot remember his name but a taller white guy with a messy bun and tired eyes. We still left a tip because that's what you do when you go out but if he treated his other tables like he did us I wouldn't be surprised if we were the only ones that tipped. I suggest not going on a busy night to get good service I guess. My group was 4 ppl 2 couples trying to enjoy a nice double date without the craziness of v-day next time we will celebrate days before. Will for sure be going back and hope you give them a try but if that's how the waiter greets himself please go ahead and ask for a different server!!!!
