I was visiting GA for the weekend and this spot was one of the recommended places to eat at. I'm definitely glad I made that decision! We came on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was completely empty, so we were greeted right away. Our server was personable and friendly. However I was disappointed by the fact that there were crumbs on our table and when one of our plates was dirty. Our server mentioned the night staff did not do a great job of cleaning, and that doesn't usually happen. The food was great! I wished there was more pesto on the cheesy sticks. The red sauce that it's paired with (which is essentially the same sauce as the pizza sauce) is delicious! I could eat a bowl of that on its own. You could def taste the freshness. The pizza was very tasty, the edges had the perfect crunch. I also paired it with their miso ranch and that sauce is a MUST! I washed it down with one of my favorites, ginger beer, we added a lime to it & that took it to the next level. I look forward to trying their other pizzas when I do visit ATL again.

This place is clean, all of the staff were personable. Pizza came out of the oven hot and so fresh. The food is delicious. Perfect place for a date night.

Visited Emmy Squared Pizza and enjoyed the whole experience! The pizzas have that deep-dish pan crispy crust on all the edges with flavor stacked on flavor. There are so many great options that you will want to go with friends and have a pizza tasting gathering. The Midtown location is great to stop in, grab a drink, order a pizza, and unwind. They have an awesome bar space and table seating that can accommodate any party size. The service staff was spectacular and offered recommendations for drinks and their favorite pizza choices.

Easily in the top three delicious pizzas I've ever had in my life. The crust is soft and just melts in your mouth. The service was really friendly as well, and great location in the heart of midtown.

I've had Emmy Squared bookmarked for a while now. I finally got a chance to check them out for lunch. I was very surprised to see the restaurant practically empty on Saturday for lunch. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or bad thing. We started with a shareable cesaer salad ($12) add chicken for an additional $5. The salad was just okay, and was a little bit on the drier side so we requested more dressing. For pizza we ordered a regular size pineapple delight and regular pepperoni pizza. The pineapple pizza was pretty good. I enjoyed the crunchiness of the crust. The restaurant itself is nice, I like the open air of it, however the bathrooms could use some attention. I went into multiple bathrooms that had no soap in it. That makes me question the cleanliness.

This is my favorite pizza place! The crust is always to crispy but pillowy soft! Service is always pleasant and fast. Each location I've been to has been clean and inviting. I love the variety of toppings they have to choose from. It's like having pizza on a delicious focaccia! I recommend this spot to all of my friends and out of town guests. An elevated pizza experience!

So, I like to give credit where it's due and the first time we stopped in, service was great, food..."Yep it was amazing. My wife who always has issues with gluten crusts found what she said was the best she had tasted in our five years here. We went back last night, and here is our experience. We waited for our booth table to be wiped down. The table top was clean but the painted wooden seats were sticky and sprinkled with Parmesan and pizza crust crumbs. We silently wiped them a little with one of our napkins. The taller guy who served us did his best and could improve on cleaning tables. Then a young server by the name of Doss took our drink and food order as we knew what we wanted. We ordered mozzarella sticks and wings, she got a pizza with green pesto sauce drizzled on it, ( she understood it to be a dipping sauce) I ordered a good Pauline add red sauce...it looked like they may have been at the. End of a rush because there were quite a few tables. We spoke to another tall gentleman as we had recognized him for a few moments and then my cheese sticks and my wife's pizza came to the table. Since there was only one pizza it didn't make sense to have it sitting up on a race. My wife waited for a few minutes but decided it's better to eat it while it's still hot. We let Doss know we hadn't received our second Pizza or the wings. He then said he would go back and check an older gentleman wearing an apron and a ball cap came out and kind of looked around the dining room, and I remembered him from when we walked in we were waiting to be seated and he had asked us if someone had helped and we said yes meanwhile we were still waiting for a pizza and wings. No one came back for a little while, and my wife has started eating her pizza and she commented that it looked like there was only a tablespoon full of crumbled sausage sprinkled on her pizza far underwhelming than what it was described to be in the menu maybe about 20 or so minutes later and that's about waiting 20 minutes first for my wife's pizza to come my pizza came and the wings came. The wings were steaming hot in a pan that was bone dry there was no sauce in the pan no extra sauce on the wings. They were just steaming hot my pizza meat wise was the same. It seemed like there was just crumbled. Sausage sprinkled on the pizza with a few pepperonis here and there, I had a few chunks of sausage but not what I expected based on my last experience which again that Pizza was amazing our drinks were fine and there was no mention of dessert. There was no follow up. It was really just you know let me grab those to go boxes for you and you dropped them off in any left and he was handling other customers and I get it. You know Bizzy is busy but attention to detail matters and to go from such a great experience to such a really bad experience. It's kind of disappointing another note a couple of days after maybe one I heated my pizza up and my wife he hers up and we both noticed that the dough was really thick and it seemed like it wasn't fully done. It was almost very oily like some like poured olive oil on the dough and then did what they were supposed to do. I've enclosed photos and you could see them and you can see the condition of the Pizza as well. We may come back we're still deciding.

Margherita Pizza and MVP Pizza
Ridhima R.

Emmy Squared is always a win! We tried the MVP and Margherita pizzas, and both were incredible -- the MVP was loaded with flavor and the Margherita had that perfect balance of fresh sauce, melty cheese, and a crisp crust. The Zia Fries were next-level with their seasoning and toppings (definitely not your average fries), and the cheesy garlic sticks were the ultimate comfort bite -- gooey, garlicky, and so satisfying. The vibe here is always fun, and the food is made for sharing (though it's hard not to keep it all to yourself ). Can't wait to come back and work through more of the menu!

We made our way through a stormy Atlanta night to Emmy Squared Pizza - West Midtown Atlanta (1009 Marietta Street NW). We had a good experience at our local Durham, NC Emmy Squared - so when we saw another one was around the corner from our hotel, we jumped on it. We started sharing a Caesar salad (chopped romaine, creamy anchovy dressing, crunchy sprizolina on top). For mains, I ordered the "Top Dawg," their meat lover's pie (layered with Italian sausage, ezzo pepperoni, a rich cheese blend, and pecorino) . It arrived with a side of house-made green ranch, something I'd never paired with pizza before, and it surprised me. The heat of the meats balanced and cooled with the ranch. Super tasty! Our server, Adam, made sure we had everything we needed without ever hovering. His attention, friendliness, and professionalism was top notch. The evening was really nice, and definitely worth us stepping out and bracing the weather for.

If it weren't for Tommy, I probably wouldn't have discovered Emmy Squared in West Midtown and I'm glad I did. Tommy has built a strong reputation for taking care of his guests, and wherever he goes, people follow. He's attentive, welcoming, and makes sure everyone feels looked after. I make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in Atlanta and see him working. Emmy Squared offers a great variety of food and drinks. My personal favorites are the wedge bacon salad and their pizza, and the drink selection never disappoints. The atmosphere is relaxed the kind of place where you can walk in, unwind, meet people, and genuinely enjoy yourself. For context, I don't even live in Atlanta anymore, but Emmy Squared has become a regular stop whenever I'm back in town. That says a lot. Highly recommend checking it out especially if Tommy's behind the bar.

Best Detroit style pizza I've had here in Atlanta. A lot of great pizzas on the menu to choose from. The Brussels salad was great too!

I can only give this Emmy Squared Pizza location in West Midtown three stars. The food and service weren't as good as what we experienced at two other Emmy Squared locations. I hate it because this is our neighborhood Emmy Squared and it was noticeably worse. To give you an idea, I rated both of the other locations five stars. Maybe we went to this one on a bad night. Emmy Squared is a national chain that specializes in Detroit-style pizza. To me, it doesn't feel like a chain, though, because the locations we've been to are in vintage, repurposed spaces - not in cookie-cutter strip malls - and each location's vibe feels hip and independent. Currently, there are two locations in Georgia. This location opened in January 2022 in the old Octane / Revelator Coffee space in West Midtown (Marietta Street Artery / Bellwood). Octane lasted almost 17 years in this spot (original location) and closed in September 2020. Emmy Squared's first Atlanta location opened on April 22, 2021 in the old Shed at Glenwood space in Glenwood Park. I love what the designers did to the old Octane space. The dining room is quite spacious. It's divided into halves with a bar on each side. Business was slow last night, so half the space was closed off. Outside, they have a string-lit patio out front and a small rooftop patio with a perch. There are retractable doors on the storefront side. One of them was pulled up last night, allowing for bar-height seating that faced both into the restaurant and out towards the neighborhood. Cool. Free parking is available in the surface lot out front, but there are only 10 spots. We lucked out and found open spots around 6:30pm. However, when we left around 9:10pm, the lot was full. As we left, I saw three cars waiting on spots to open. This was on an ordinary Tuesday night. If the lot is full, there are two paid parking options nearby: (1) the surface lot at 1040 Marietta St NW, which is part of the Brickworks development across the street and (2) the Brady apartment garage at 701 8th St NW. You can book reservations for Emmy Squared on OpenTable. When I booked, both this location and the Glenwood Park location did not offer points. Boo. Along with Detroit-style pizza, Emmy Squared serves a small variety of apps, salads, burgers, sandwiches, cocktails, beer, and wine. When ordering pizza, I recommend ordering large for $5 more each. You won't regret it. The regular pizzas are 8x10 inches and cut into six slices. The large pizzas are 10x14 inches and cut into 10 slices. They are rectangular in shape and deep dish. The menu says the large-size pizzas are "75% larger" than the regular-size pizzas. Here's what our party of four ordered: Cocktails * The Prime Cut Martini ($15) - New Amsterdam Vodka, dry vermouth, olive brine, and blue cheese-stuffed olives Seasonal Cocktails * Emotional Damage ($15) - Lunazul Tequila Blanco, fresh lime juice, in-house tropical passionfruit syrup Sweet Auburn ($15) - Old Forester 100 bourbon, New Amsterdam Vodka, real peach puree, and fresh lemonade; shaken Mocktails * Lavender 75 ($11) - take on the French 75; lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, and club soda Shareable Plates and Salads * Jumbo Wings ($18) - 10 house-brined jumbo chicken wings with Sriracha "crystal" glaze with peanuts and cilantro * Brussels Sprout Salad x2 ($14 each) - shaved Brussels sprouts, house-pickled red onions, cashews, blue cheese, sweet dried cherries, and miso dressing Detroit-style Pizza * Colony (large, $25) - signature cheese blend, housemade red sauce, hand-sliced and house-pickled jalapenos, Ezzo pepperoni, honey; added Italian sausage $3 extra * VIP (regular, $24) - signature cheese blend, three housemade sauces (vodka, red, and parsley pesto), Ezzo pepperoni, Calabrian chilies, sesame seed crust * Good Paulie (large, $24) - signature cheese blend, caramelized onions, Italian sausage, freshly-shredded smoked Gouda When our pizzas came out, our server noticed our Colony looked wrong. He immediately took it back to the kitchen and had a new one made for us. My wife and I had all three of these same pizzas - Colony, VIP, Good Paulie - at a different Emmy Squared less than a year ago and, it pains me to say it, all three tasted worse here. Our server admitted the proof (rise) was off and our crusts were too thin. This was most apparent with our VIP which, in hindsight, I think we should've had remade or not be charged for. Not only was the dough undercooked, but the VIP was especially greasy and not cut properly. Also unfortunate -- the wings were unremarkable. Not bad, just not memorable. On the bright side, my wife really liked the Brussels Sprout Salad. We ordered two of them. The drinks were tasty as well and our server was nice, though perhaps stretched thin. The restaurant seemed kind of dead, which is the opposite of our past Emmy Squared experiences (nice and busy). Admittedly, those visits were on weekends. In summary, not all Emmy Squareds are created equal.

I ended up with a double beef burger (each patty is 1/4 pound) at $9, pimento cheese (.75 cents) and Grindhouse Sauce which was in the 1000 island / Mac sauce territory. I was undecided on a side so lucky for me there is a "Frings" option of 1/2 onion rings and fries ($5.75). The burger was a little on the dry side even with the toppings but the potato roll made it a little more interesting. The onion rings were great and can't go wrong with crinkle cut fries. Cold Tropicalia on draft ($8) served by friendly bar staff made it a really great experience. Even though this is not my favorite burger, the sides, the drink options and the overall vibe of the place with excellent service still will make this a place I could visit again. Maybe giving a different burger a try instead of a BYO like I did the first time out.

And the standards for this type of business concept are normally belooow the basement. But I figured we'd stop in while running errands in the area and grab something to munch on. I saw that they fry with tallow and I'm always on the hunt for some beef fat fried goodness. Now it's a rarity to spend less than $10 on a good burger these days in ATL, and even more of a rarity to feel that said burger was worth your coins. I side-eyed their $6 single but figured I'd give it a shot. Man, NFA proves that a burger doesn't have to be "gourmet" to still be damn good. The sauces, mustard, juices from the beef, slight sweetness from the potato roll, the crunch of the pickle... it all combines into something simplistic in nature yet magical. I usually expect this level of good (and inexpensive) in South GA but they brought that small town flair to the suburbs of Dunwoody. I hate crinkle fries normally but the decision to fry them in tallow makes me a believer. Simple, classic menu. No frills. Hot and fast. Great customer service, too. Just wait in your car and an amicable young adult (of which they seem to largely employ) will bring your order out to your car or to their picnic tables in the back. $17 for two to eat... in this day and age?!?! This place puts fast food burger chains to SHAME.

I loved the caramelized jalepeno slices since they added it beautiful hint of spicy sweetness to the dish. The bread has a nice chew and it does not get soggy fast. - CONS: Not that special. I dont know why it's "korean" since it tasted like a normal cheesesteak but with a few jalapenos. I also wish they added in more jalapenos (I got like 3). 2) Garlic Fries with Ranch: - PROS: Very nice texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside that is not too dense. The flavor comes from the garlic mince that is on top. The ranch is like a mixture of an aioli and tartar sauce (I think they make it in house, correct me if I'm wrong). - CONS: Inconsistent texture as some of the fries were dense but a few had that good hollow crisp bite. Quite oily too. Overall, I enjoyed the cheesesteak but would probably skip the fries next time. I do believe it is good especially the bread. I don't think it is worth all the hype it gets, but it is good.

I really hope management takes a serious look at this location. Improving the work environment for employees and having stronger management and oversight could make a huge difference in the customer experience. Otherwise, I'm afraid this location will continue to sit half-empty, as it was during my visit today.

The environment is lively (but not loud) and dive-y and the playlist was SOOO good with great song diversity, from My Chemical Romance to T-Pain to the Isley Brothers. It was the perfect nightcap. Now the food that we ordered this night was not overwhelmingly good but certainly not bad. To be fair, this spot is known for their burgers and neither of my party got one this time around. But the half salad I got was GIANT, so big that I had to double check with the food runner that it was indeed a half. Filled me right up for the low-low. The husband wanted to opt for something lighter too and got their Cuban sandwich with plantain... nowhere near authentic, but good enough for the moment. He's a certified Caribbean and thought the plantain was actually not bad, so there's that. The prices are reasonable. What takes this place up a notch is the clear organization to their operations, the way the team works and communicates together to strive for efficiency in service, and the neighborhood familiarity that this Atlanta institution emanates. I previously only when to the Vortex in L5P which has now shuttered I believe. It was a completely different vibe. But I have a feeling this spot is immovable. It is truly a neighborhood gem to meet up and have strong, affordable drinks and bomb ass burgers... next time I'll be sure to dabble in the latter. Sidenote: bathrooms were pretty decent and clean for a busy bar environment... I was surprised!

Has lots of seating available outside and inside…read more Decorations are unique and fun! Definitely has character! Staff were friendly and service was quick. The Hell's Fury burger is full and has a very nice kick. The tater tots are nice and crispy.

Holman and Fitch is such a wonderful restaurant. I've had their cheeseburgers in the past and love…read morethem from the days when H & F would only serve 24 cheeseburgers in the evening as well as had their cheeseburgers at the Braves ballpark too but this was my first visit and H & F's new location and our group came for brunch and they had our reservation and were ready to serve us. I ordered the insanely great fried chicken and it came with coleslaw and a biscuit. I also had the potato hash on the side that was killer. We ordered some shareable plates of food including the deviled eggs trio, and the scrumptious cornbread covered in butter. The mixed drinks looked amazing although they didn't have bloody Mary's on a Sunday g brunch afternoon for some reason but I just ordered a Guinness to go with my food anyway it's a beautiful restaurant just like the old location and the service was impeccable.

We had brunch at Holeman and Finch Public House yesterday (Saturday). Everything was outstanding…read more This restaurant continues to be an Atlanta institution and one of the best in the city. Holeman and Finch is known for its burger, and deservedly so, but I can't stress enough how good the other food and drink are here. Looking at the current list of Atlanta restaurants in the Michelin Guide, I think Holeman and Finch deserves to be included. I wonder why they got snubbed. Holeman and Finch relocated to Colony Square in Midtown in February 2023. The restaurant validates parking in the Colony Square garage for two hours. We stayed just over two hours and ended up paying $6. I like to enter and exit the garage via Peachtree St NE. There's also an entrance/exit on 14th St NE, next to The Starling hotel. We used to go to the original location in Brookwood/South Buckhead circa 2010 when only 24 burgers were made per night and released at 10pm. Holeman and Finch existed in that location from 2008 to 2020. It was quite the Yelp hot spot: https://www.yelp.com/biz/holeman-and-finch-atlanta-2 This new location at Colony Square is way more spacious and looks great. There's indoor and outdoor (covered and uncovered) seating. The atmosphere is that of a modern, upscale pub. It's nice. Reservations can be booked on OpenTable, so get those dining points. Our server said the brunch menu was served until 4pm. Here's what my wife and I had: Drinks: * H&F Bloody Mary ($14) * Iced Tea - half sweet, half unsweet ($5) Graze: * Naturally Served Oysters ($5 each) - cocktail sauce, mignonette, buttered saltines, horseradish - Lowcountry Cups - Charleston, SC - Dukes of Topsail - Topsail Sound, NC - Dixon Point - New Brunswick, Canada * Deviled Egg Trio ($9) - classic, country ham, and Pickapeppa mayo * Hand Chopped Sirloin Steak Tartare ($20) - capers, horseradish, egg yolk, chips * Simple Lettuces ($15) - citrus vinaigrette, crisp shallots, fromage blanc, pecans Sandwiches: * H+F Cheeseburger ($28) - certified Angus and Hereford beef, onions, Kraft, fries Plates: * Housemade Scottish Gravlax ($18) - toasted brioche, fried Pantelleria capers, lemon dill clabber * Holeman + Finch Vegetable Plate ($32) - "all that is best from our Southern farms" Dessert: * Sticky Toffee Pudding ($14) - vanilla ice cream Everything, down to the sweet tea, was fantastic. The Bloody Mary was strong and so delicious that I gulped it down. All of the dishes were beautifully plated and finished. The oysters were fresh, superb quality, and cleanly shucked. They forgot the crackers, but that's okay. I highly recommend the deviled eggs. They were perhaps the best we've ever had anywhere. If you're unfamiliar with Pickapeppa, it's a sweet and savory Jamaican brown sauce that is used to make the mayo for this dish. There was nothing "simple" about the Simple Lettuces salad. It was pretty much a perfect, tasty, and refreshing salad. As for the H+F Cheeseburger, it's a classic and continues to be one of the best burgers around. Every bite is just so good, and the ketchup and mustard remain distinct. If you've never had the burger before, get it here or at H&F Burger at Ponce City Market. The Truist Park version isn't the same and I've never tried the Mercedes-Benz Stadium version (the old Turner Field version was legit, though). If you like gravlax, wow - the gravlax here is amazing and really well made. The Vegetable Plate was terrific as well. It featured potatoes, okra, beans, succotash, mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and more with a fried onion ring on top. It's a great dish to share. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was top-notch - exceptional texture and flavor, and perfectly paired with a scoop of dense vanilla ice cream. Our server was Jonathan R. He was friendly and took great care of us. A manager checked on us too.
