We came in on a busy Saturday. We were promptly seated. Our drink orders were quickly delivered. Our server was quite busy but very efficient. I forgot her name but she was great! We ordered a starter of wings which were fantastic! The spicy apricot flavor was new and unique. I really enjoyed it. Spicy but not overpowering. The table ordered a total of 4 small pizzas. Each one of them came out perfect. Mine was crispy just as I asked. There was a generous amount of toppings. The price is a little high but I felt the ingredients were of quality so that can be expected. I would definitely recommend this pizza spot. I would gladly come back. read more

Pizza was creative. A little on the small side and not as seasoned as I'd have liked. They charged $10 for a tiny sad cup of French onion soup. Reliable read more

I visited for dinner on a weeknight, around 6:00 pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was busy but the outdoor seating was all wet from rain earlier so no one was outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was given a choice of waiting 30 minutes for a table or immediate seating at one of the two bars. I chose the bar. There is a large cocktail menu, larger than the food menu. There is wine and beer also but I didn't see any kind of tap list for beer so I suspect it was all bottles. I ordered a mojito which was fine. The food menu has pizzas and burgers and that sort of thing. I had a small margherita pizza. It was big enough to share but also I ate the whole thing myself. It had a red sauce, fresh tomato slices, blobs of cheese, and some fresh greens that were not basil (although the menu said basil, this was small leaves on long stems). It was good. I would recommend removing the tomato skins, because they became stringy and difficult to eat. The crust was cooked well but did not have much flavor. Service was good, since I was at the bar it was easy to get the bartender's attention, and she did a great job making drinks for the whole dining room and keeping eyes on us. She never had a minute's rest while I was there. Overhearing other conversations I gathered that the restaurant recently reopened in this location on the corner of Main Street and hambly. On street parking is plentiful as well as a couple of nearby city lots that are free. There were a few items on the menu that were not in stock yet, the online ordering and to-go window are not ready, and that sort of thing. read more

The pizza was very tasty. We also had Greek salads and mozzarella sticks. They were very fresh and yummy. You need to try the walnut pi bar with vanilla ice cream. I highly recommend you coming by and having lunch here. We were first timers, but if in the area again we will def return. read more

Worst service experience that I have had anywhere on Earth in 50 years. I like their pizza and used to like the place (we've eaten here many times over the years). Waitress had a several minute conversation with the table next to us as our pizzas were dying in the window and I had to interrupt and ask her to get them. I apologized profusely a few times to the waitress and to the customers ( the customers said not to worry and that they would have done the same). When we were ready to leave I waived for a solid minute to the waitress who was deep in conversation with the "manager" at the bar, and finally said excuse me. The waitress immediately threw off an attitude and the "manager"gave me a solid stink eye a few times after that. I said sorry to interrupt. As we were leaving I approached the "manager"to clear the air. I said sorry, I get the sense that I offended you; she lied and said no. She then went on to say that I didn't have to be "rude and aggressive, and then mocked my waving. Then she said that if I knew anything about being a server I would know that the server did nothing wrong ( I never said she did, I had simply explained my own actions). I explained I worked in the industry for fifteen years when I was younger (1 year serving in fine dining, formal kitchen apprenticeship at a country club and years as a head chef). I could explain to the "manager" that she could have run the pizzas when her server was engaged in conversation since she was doing absolutely nothing as the pies were dying under heat lamps. My kids were waiting right outside the door and the "manager" and I were near the kitchen in the back. When I rejoined my kids they commented that they couldn't hear my side of the conversation but they could hear the "manager" since her voice was raised. I thought (and hoped) the " manager" might be new ( and hopefully would not last) she said she was "an original". She sure is. read more

I have been going to Fortify Pi for years. This past Sunday I thought I would go by the new location and get a pizza. I ordered online and got the meatball appetizer and a pizza. First...the meatball appetizer had 3 flavorless meatballs sitting on top of some flavorless, cold grits. It wasn't terrible but..OK. something you could probably get frozen from the store. The kicker tho..it was 17 dollars! For 3 flavorless meatballs. The pizza..25 dollars...was cold...very little flavor. The crust was soggy and not like it used to be. Fortify pizzas used to be top notch...this isn't it. It kind of looked like a Fortify pizza... but tasted like a cheap and flavorless imitation. I ended up throwing half of it away. We have very few options of restaurants in a small town like clayton and its sad to see one of my go to places go downhill so badly. read more

Pizza is our go to post hike food and this makes a great post hike stop. My husband and I shared: - The 3.14 (large) - The Newton (small) Between the two, I think I preferred the 3.14, but I enjoyed both of them. If you're in the area looking for pizza, this is a good stop. read more

First, let me just say that the food here was excellent! The 3 star review is related to the service/attitude, not the quality of the food. When we arrived we asked for a table for 4 and the young girl immediately said it was a 25 minute wait, even though there were a couple of tables paying their bill. There were also 4 seats at the bar, even though they needed to be moved to be together, but she said there was no seating available at the bar. Her attitude basically said "go away." Also, there's a sign that says "once you're on the wait list, you must wait OUTSIDE." And the menu says no 1/2 and 1/2 pizza, no substitutes, no slices. Again, they're not very welcoming or accomidating. That said, our server was very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and the ambiance was great! read more

Everything about this meal was great! The service was fast and friendly and I love the decor and theming...from the chemistry beaker chandelier, to the periodic table hanging in the bathroom. Very clean and modern! The star of the show, however, was the pizza. I had the Newton. The combo of the sweet fig jam, salty prosciutto, tangy goat cheese....it was perfection! My wife had the Papa Pesto which was also so delicious. The pesto was light but flavorful and of course the prosciutto was delish, cheese was melty and stringy. Highly recommend both! We live about 90 minutes away but we're already taking about coming back! read more

I also tried the Grilled Peach BLT pizza and it was absolutely the yummiest pizza I've ever had. I can't wait to come back!!! read more

The Newton, the wonderful pizza with fig spread, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese and arugula is back on the menu and as delicious as ever. One of my favorite places to stop for lunch when in the mountains. They now feature burgers, too, which I have yet to try because I can't resist the pizza, but I will soon do that. Expanded new location just north up the street from the former site. Main restaurant with revised dinner menu there too. Have yet to try it but was impressed with their past efforts so worth a visit. read more

So it's Saturday night in Clayton and the wait here was at least an hour. Be prepared to wait and don't think you can just walk up and eat. We started with the soup of the day. A squash soup that was amazing! So may autumn flavors. Next we had their wedge salad. It was ok but a little sweet for me. Next we had the mozzarella wheels. Delicious but can you really go wrong with fried mozzarella and a really good red sauce and theirs was delicious. Finally we had the 3.14. OMG. So good! We got a large so we can take some home. Delicious read more

Excellent pizza. We were very, pleasantly surprised with the white pizza. Would definitely order again. Was kind of pricey

Great little pizza joint. We waited a bit for a table around 1:30pm on a Saturday but it was worth it. Service was fast and friendly. Local beers and ciders served here. We enjoyed the White Italian pizza. They also have a solid selection of menu items that are not pizza (salads, subs etc.) Owned by the same folks as Fortify, next door, which is a bit more of an upscale southern restaurant read more

First things first, if you read this review go ahead and smash 1 of those buttons below, plz. TYIA. Lol I'm surprised by the 4 stars and below on this place, also surprised by some of the comments on the pizza...I guess you can't please some people with anything. Well, let's get on with it... Ambiance - typical pizzeria type of wares, but nice decor. I like it. I thought the name was clever and the wall mural w/ the name is nice (pix included). If I even thought about 1 thing negative, it's one single bathroom. Our service was great, especially considering it was packed, not a vacant seat in the house. The pizza is delicious. We tried several of their signature pizza...3.14, a chicken one, several...we shared all the pizzas and all delicious. read more

The GF pizza is tiny and overpriced. Somewhat tasty but wish I had gone elsewhere for the money.

Fortify Pi offered delicious wood fired pizza! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My family of 4, with 2 boys ages 9 & 11, enjoyed everything at Fortify.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with appetizer-the mozzarella bites. They were mozzarella slices fried in a light batter and then dipped in a delicious marinara sauce. Yum! My husband and I each got a craft beer from the draught selection. Great beer! Then we had 2 small pies-one cheese for the kids and the classic supreme for the adults. Both pizzas were finished off! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only reason for 4 stars was the bathroom. The frosted large glass gave me weird vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance, service, and everything else 5 stars![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We have visited several times, either as a couple or with family who are visiting. Each time, we have enjoyed the food, and service is efficient. As a gluten intolerant person, I appreciate their cauliflower pizza crust, and it's tasty enough that hubby doesn't mind sharing with me. Our favorite pizza is the Forest Mushroom. The Caesar salad is also very good -- so good that we order it Every Time we visit! They do have wine and beer available. read more

Fortify Pi - Small Caesar - Pizza Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

One of the best pizzas in the area area. Hard to find good pizza down south but this place makes delicious ones. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one complaint we have is the fact that is so noisy inside difficulty sometimes talking to your party[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

I really wanted to give five stars, but the prices are just a bit too high ($15 for pasta and butter? It's not even a big portion!), and all of the food isn't quite as amazing as I was expecting based on reviews. For example. The Caesar salad was very mediocre. That said, the fried mozzarella was outstanding, and overall the pizzas were pretty darned good. My sangria was great. Service was fine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience isn't the greatest--I have a feeling they reserved that for Fortify next door, but that just closed down, so we'll never be able to try it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, I would go back. read more

Pizza very good but the service was the worst. For a Saturday at lunchtime, it was not busy at all but there was a long wait for the pizza. After the pizza was brought, waitress never came back....no refills on our drink. We asked for "to go" cups because we got no refills and she brought EMPTY cups!! We asked for a paper menu to bring home with us....she said "ok" and never brought it. Generally, all the staff seemed grumpy...no smiles, unwelcoming. read more

Pizza that took thirty minutes to drive for...better be good.....well it was. We ended up here for some well-deserved family dinner change from turkey and stuffing. They have one large table and we grabbed it. Lucky for us we beat the rush. So be prepared you may have a wait on a busy weeknight. Ordered up a craft beer called Teufel Hunden which those that know me to know I just had to order. We also ordered three apps, two actually arrived. The cheesy bread and the lamb meatballs were a hit with me but not for everyone. Meatballs could have been a meal by themselves and at 10 bucks a great value. We ordered meat lovers, pepperoni and sausage and the butternut squash pizza. The pizza was delicious. Like I said the thirty-minute drive gave them a high bar to get over. Minus missing actually getting our third app fired they did well. Staff was attentive and platooned our service. They do add a 20% service charge to parties of 6 or more so be warned. But hey are clever as they let you add even more of a tip on the CC slip. We caught it and they got their 20%. NOt a fan of that practice for six people....8 or ten maybe. But I imagine they have been stiffed and it is a touristy town in Clayton. Regardless we found ourselves fortified and left with full bellies after eating at Fortify Pi. read more

Predictably yummy Caesar salad. Light and refreshing. Salad dressing is wonderful. Thank goodness Fortify Pi is in Clayton.

Best gluten free pizza in Clayton GA. They also have vegan/dairy free cheese. Everything that my non-food allergy group ordered also looked delicious. read more

Great all around. Best burger ever! Salad was fantastic and filling. Amazing cocktails.

Did not enjoy the pie I ordered, ok no problem I ordered it. Staff doesn't give a crap if you like or don't like. Mentioned it to the waitress and she ignored me and walked away. We paid the bill and she said have a great rest of your day to which I said well I'm leaving hungry and she just walked away again! Never used to be this way! Disappointed as this is one of my favorite places to visit every time I come to Georgia to visit! read more

I went here for lunch on a Saturday with my family, so 3 of us. I was waiting to get our name on the list at the hostess stand for over 15 minutes while 3 separate women tried to navigate the waitlist. An older woman who appeared to be in some sort of management position yet with no obvious knowledge of how to run FOH operations, kept trying to take over when she should have just let the hostess do her job. Another server, who looked to me as if she was probably the most experienced of all 3 of them seemed clearly frustrated when asking me if I'd been helped yet to which my response was 'no'. We got our name on the list, finally and was told that the wait could be anywhere from 5-20 minutes, I was fine with that. To my surprise, I was notified less than 5 minutes later that our table was ready. We happily took our seats expecting to order drinks soon but there we waited, again, for another 15+ minutes until our server finally came, took our drink AND food order and walked away. Our drinks came, my husband ordered a rum runner and I a Paloma, made it a double and it was okay. I later realized that adding that extra shot also added a whopping $6 to my drink order!! Our food came and the pizza was good, the burger was only okay and the greek salad was perfect. We decided to order a second drink and again, we waited. My husband and I could see our drinks in the window where they sat and sat while servers went by and did nothing. We finished our meal and were ready for our check when another server not ours, brought the drinks to which we declined as they had been sitting for some time and were for sure watered down at this point. The server gave us a bit of an attitude while explained that our server was under age an unable to serve alcohol. I am not a stranger to the industry so I am well aware of this law, however if this is the case with one of your servers then the other servers need to be vigilant of this and make sure that her drinks get served in a timely manner. Overall, the food was good but the service and the overall running of the FOH was lacking. I loved their old location and we never had an issue there which makes me think that the owners are trying to do too much too fast. One of my favorite sayings is 'Keep it simple stupid,' I believe that if more restaurant owners stuck to this mind set, they would have more success then if they try to do more. read more

Wished the food tasted as good as it looked. It wasn't bad, just didn't have much flavor... My expectations were probably set too high. I had their red sauce pep pizza, mozzarella sticks, and some wings. The interior looked very professional, very clean. We got seated immediately, and our waitress got our orders fairly quickly. read more

I ordered the 3.14 on 3/13 because I wouldn't be back the next day... Pi Day. The toppings were perfect and tasted so good. If I didn't have to share with my family, I probably could've eaten the whole thing. I walked up to the counter to place my order with the young lady. She said to give them about 15 minutes, and so I went next door to the toy store to browse for a bit. When I came back the pizza was ready. I would order from here over and over again if it comes out this good each time. Thank you for satisfying my cravings on this particularly rainy day. read more

Fortify Pi - 3.14 - Pizza Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

Some of the best pizza I've had. The crust and sauce are amazing. BUT at $20 for a small specialty and $26 for the same specialty in large, you'd expect the small to be 20/26=0.77 the area of a large. Especially since the menu doesn't seem to say otherwise. Alas, it's not. The small is only a measly 10". Area to area, the small is only 39% of a large in size but 77% of a large in price. The surprisingly small size of the small relative to price left us feeling ripped off. read more

I recently ordered the Forest Mushroom Pizza to go while I was spending a few days in Clayton. I decided to place my order to go since the restaurant did not have outdoor seating. I have been very picky about where I dine during the Covid pandemic and outdoor seating is a must for me at this time. I placed the order over the phone and the pizza was ready 20 minutes later. I had to enter the restaurant to pick up my order since they did not offer curbside delivery. Even though all the restaurant staff were wearing face masks, many patrons in the restaurant did not wear masks even when they were not seated at their table. A few of the maskless patrons were standing huddled at the inside entrance of the restaurant which made me very uncomfortable upon entering. The pizza was ok. The mushrooms were tender with a nice earthiness but the crust was a little too charred and the pizza too oily. read more

Open air dining on Main Street in Clayton. Storefront is very inviting. Small dining room with a couple of additional tables outside. Trendy decor with a bold Fortify Pi graphic on the main wall. Busy and fun vibe. We shared a Greek salad which had local goat cheese. It was fresh & delicious. We ordered two pizzas...the Newton & the Meatlovers. Crust was excellent. Just the right char. Dough was substantial enough to support the toppings, which all tasted premium. Some interesting beers were on tap while others were typical. Nothing crazy. Overall we had an excellent meal. Service was fast & friendly, even on Mother's Day. We left happy & satisfied, looking forward to our next visit. read more

I'm a picky pizza eater, and this is my favorite place to enjoy a few slices. The toppings are so fresh, upscale and delicious.
