The pizza was excellent. We each did a half with our choice of toppings. They have all the regular toppings and several that are not the norm. A good variety of beers, again some unique. Our sever was friendly, professional and very attentive. if you want an excellent pizza in a friendly atmosphere with fantastic service...go to Max's. read more

Love finding a good pizza spot -- and this one did not disappoint! We stopped by Max's Coal Oven Pizzeria for lunch today and it was very good. It's honestly hard to find really good pizza, but their coal oven pizza definitely hits the mark. All of the pizzas are 12 inches, which is the perfect size. I ordered the Bianca ($18) and my husband went with the pepperoni ($16). Both were delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly with that amazing coal oven flavor. Shoutout to Tonya, our waitress! She went the extra mile and made me a Cherry Coke with a cherry on top! Great food and great service always make for a win. The restaurant was very clean and has a fun vibe. They have inside and outside seating. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back! This is a solid choice for pizza! read more

Stopped by as we were walking in Atlanta. We ordered the Tradizionale pizza which had pepperoni, spicy italian sausage, peppers, with no onion and extra sauce. After waiting 20 minutes, the server came by and said they misread our order and made it no sauce. They asked if we''d still be interested but after kindly declining we had to wait another 15 minutes for our pizza to come out. Was disappointed about the pizza quality, it was very floppy when we grabbed a piece. The toppings including the cheese and sauce fell off the thin bread each time. Wish the crust would've been more firm so make it a more enjoyable experience. read more

One of those spots where you order food and drinks, then end up staying for over two hours just enjoying the conversation. The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and the outdoor seating was perfect for the day. The food was delicious, our server was kind and attentive, and the overall experience made us want to linger a little longer. read more

Stopped in for lunch on Memorial Day. The place was very busy. The music was loud and the tables are pretty close together. It is a really loud place. We ordered a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza with a Caesar side salad. We didn't wait long for our order to come out. The salad was okay, nothing exciting. The pizza was cheesy and crunchy. The toppings were sparse. Overall, don't know if we would return. It was just alright. read more

Ordered a cheese and sausage pizza with green peppers . I was so disappointed it very little cheese ,the green peppers were sliced and the meat was chunks of sausage. I'm from Chicago and im not used to eating this type of pizza. It was burnt on crust. Customer service was excellent. The restaurant was welcoming. I'm going to try to eat it . But this is a hard pass read more

I went here to grab a late dinner. The hostess was kind enough to take my order over the phone before they closed. I ordered a Greco pizza on gluten-free crust. I arrived before it was ready so I sat at the bar. The bartender was nice. He even packed me some napkins, plates, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese packets. The pizza was good. I liked how light the crust was, which isn't always the case with gluten-free pizza. I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in town to explore the menu more. They have a good amount of seating options, and it looked like they have outdoor seating too. read more

This was me and my husbands first time visiting Atlanta and I was very excited to try Max's. We arrived at 6:30pm on Saturday and were turned away. They stated they were no longer seating people due the them being behind on orders. We then went the next day to try again and received the same response. Considering the restaurant does not close until 9pm, it's extremely disappointing that they're unable to truly accommodate customers during that time. We were aware they had a waiting list, but it was only about 3 groups of people. And if too many phone orders is the problem, then I would think that should be put on hold before turning away in person customers. We would've even waited up to an hour because that's how interested we were to eat there. But next time we're back in Atlanta, we won't bother trying to go. read more

The pizza is great! Highly recommended great service and great food!!! Closed to the Olympic Park

They close at 9, I came ay 8 and was seated immediately. Host cleaned the table off after we were seated. Our server was friendly, and upbeat. She had good energy. Took our orders and food soon was brought to the table. It was something about the dressing that I didn't like, turned me off. Almost a tangy taste to it. The pizza was good, I just would've preferred my pie to have been cooked longer, to be a bit more crispy rather than doughie. It was O.K. There's TV with games on, a bar and chalk drawings on the way. read more

This casual dining restaurant with an outdoor street view patio is just a short walk (1-2 city blocks) from the plaza with Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola and Museum of Civil and Human Rights. We ordered Tradizionale and Bianca specialty pizzas and a kids spaghetti (came w/meatball). Food came out fresh, hot and delicious. The confit garlic on the Bianca pizza Pizza crust was crisp and slightly chewy. Service was attentive, fast & friendly. Highly recommend paying this location a visit if in the vicinity. read more

Great spot in Atlanta. I am a pizza snob and this was great pizza. I liked the Bianca the most out of the ones we got. The meatballs were also extremely tasty. If I was a waiter there I'd stuff a couple in my pockets on the way out. The wings were good but not the highlight for sure. Worth trying tho. The drinks were also super yummy. Well made and good balance. We sat outside and it was a great ambiance. The service was on point and timely. Overall a great experience. Thanks guys! read more

Amazing food and atmosphere! Super great coal oven pizza and local drinks! Our waitress, T, was amazing and conversational.

Great service. Staff is attentive and kind!! We had takeout two nights in a row while visiting Atlanta. We enjoyed the Bianca pizza both times. Place was always busy (always a good sign) but orders only took 15-20 minutes. :) read more

We've been on a road trip since Christmas Day and ended up in Atlanta for one night. Max's pizzeria was recommended and boy it did not disappoint! The crust was crispy and the toppings were cooked just right, not too raw or dry. The coal ovens absolutely make a difference to the taste. The service was a bit slow but it was a holiday weekend and the place was overwhelmed with customers. Highly recommend if you love pizza! read more

At first we were looking for a food spot and someplace that served alcohol so we chose here. We were greeted by the wonderful staff which was very helpful. It wasn't that busy when we went in. The vibe was pretty chill, modern. We ordered some appetizers, the burrata and the wings as starters. Then arugula pizza and Margareta Pizza. The burrata was soo good but just which the bread was smaller instead of 2 big pieces. Out of the pizzas, the arugula pizza was the best. Oh forgot to mention we ordered the peach cocktail, forgot the name but it was really good and pretty strong. It had a nice peach taste it wasn't over powering. Again the staff was amazing! Very nice and helpful. Would def come back! read more

#40 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week) Attending a conference in the area and stopped here for a quick lunch. I ordered the meatball sub with a Greek salad. Food came pretty quickly. Salad was very nice. I liked the olives and feta and the dressing was good. The meatball sub was delicious. Bread was nice and chewy, marinara sauce was really good but the meatball was the star. Great place to try if you're staying nearby. read more

Great thin crust pizza. Lots of variety. Full bar with speciality cocktails. Wasn't busy but went midweek on a rainy day.

Came on a weekday afternoon around 3 pm. Overall laid back vibe. Lots of servers but not rushing us which was nice but a little more attentiveness would have been nice (offer another beer when the glass was empty?) Pizza was perfect - thin crispy crust, great cheese-to-pepperoni ratio, plenty of mini-pepperonis. Salad was more than enough for two people but dressing wasn't anything special (Caesar). Nice touch of grated Parmesan on top and two thin slices of flatbread. I'd return for the pizza but not the salad. read more

We went here after running the Atlanta Half Marathon and really enjoyed our food. The pizza was great, and our salad and appetizers were good too. Not anything groundbreaking in the world of pizza, but if you're looking for a quick lunch in the museum area, this is a good spot to stop! read more

I loved the design and interior of this restaurant. Tables are spaced out enough that you have privacy. Our server was quick to take our drink order and leave menus. After tasting our Coke, it was flat, so she easily changed it out for iced tea. There are pizzas, appetizers, salads and a few sandwiches. I settled on a meatball hoagie with chips. The sandwich came quickly and was a nice size. The bun was toasted nicely and the sandwich was nice and hot. The meatballs were good and I loved the sauce and cheese. Good choice! Our server, and sadly I don't remember her name, was fantastic. read more

Literally the most rude manager I've ever come across. Working across the street im a visitor from another state. I found them on the map and called ahead to order because it was a ten minute walk. Upon arriving I'm told I can't eat inside or outside at one of there many open tables because I'm told to go orders are for to go. I didn't place a to go order I called ahead. But after asking if I can purchase something in store and sit at the bar I'm told that's not possible read the signs. I apologized and said I'm not from here, and the manager tells me "well you can read". At that point I asked for a refund. read more

Cool place slinging up some pretty good food with a coal oven. Service was super good and friendly. They have a limited bar but enough of everything you probably want. The chicken parm was pretty good. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and covered in cheese. The sauce and pasta itself could be better. But a good portion. The pizzas are 12" and super thin crust. And the crust has a bit of char on them. Really really good. Now, given they aren't big pizzas but not personal sized, how many to order? In my youth I'd easily eat a whole pizza and maybe an app. In my old age, me the wife split one which was plenty. I would think if you're 30 and up, an app and 1 pie per 2 people would be perfect. The pizza itself had great flavor. Loved the sauce, the crust, and the cheese. There were 2 issues keeping it from being awesome. One as you can see, there's just not enough cheese on it. Love the authentic coins of cheese that are allowed to melt into everything. But it was uneven and just needed more. Next, the fresh basil was also great for a pop of flavor. But again, needed way more basil. There was one leaf on maybe half the slices. So the pizza, which is the star anyway, could be awesome with just a bit more ingredients on it. Maybe other pies are better. But there's no place to hide on a Margherita pizza! read more

I came on a rainy Saturday in September during lunch hours. It wasn't crowded when we got there but became so. I am used to the ingredients on wood fired pizzas being very melted in the pizza and very cooked. Ours were very much on top and veggies were crunchy. Wood fired pizzas could be different depending on cities- I'm not sure but I wouldn't have considered this a usual wood fired consistency. read more

This was convenient to where we stayed but that was the best part about it. Just ordinary pizza.
