Antico Pizza in Atlanta ranked #30 out of 50 for the best pizza shops in the nation. And this, obviously, includes a ton of New York, Chicago, and Detroit pizzerias, so we’re thrilled to make the list!
Says who? ’50 Top Pizza 2025,’ a guide to the best pizzerias in the world, creates a comprehensive list of the best pizzas every year! Here’s what they have to say about Antico (translated to English from Italian):
An institution in the city’s gastronomic scene, famous for its convivial atmosphere with shared tables and open kitchen. The pizzas, served on large trays in a lively and informal setting, are inspired by Neapolitan tradition with soft and well-leavened dough, easily digestible. Cooking in a stone oven guarantees crispy edges and generous toppings, as in the San Gennaro or Diavola pizzas. A must-stop for those seeking authenticity and sharing, amidst Campanian scents and American rhythm.
Okay, okay, I’ve gotta check Antico out! Gimme the details!
