At no. 246, an Italian eatery in downtown Decatur, bold flavors come out of a semi-open kitchen. Wood-fired cooking fueled by the wall of drying logs on display acts as a fun accent to the dining room. This restaurant also offers a chef's table for family-style dining and a view of the food carefully prepared for diners, or a seat at the chef's counter where diners enjoy a prix fixe menu. The artisan pizza served here is far away from the classic New York pie or Chicago deep dish. Crisp, flaky crusts support a light sauce and range of toppings from clams to salami.

Elegant, trendy, and upscale may not be words synonymous with pizza, but they are for Double Zero, an eclectic Italian restaurant. Vibrant turquoise accents contrast with natural stone and wood for an upbeat ambiance. While soaking up the warm welcome, take a look at the menu. The options might seem more at home on a fine dining menu at first glance, and the pizza lives up to its neighboring dishes. Toppings like olive tapenade, pecorino cheese and mortadella salumi all add a zing to a classic slice. Artichokes, prosciutto, Calabrian chile, and truffle creme fraiche are just a few of the options.

It started out in a basement in an effort to save nearly lost Italian dishes, but Storico Fresno Alimentari e Ristorante has morphed into one of the most popular Old Country eateries in the city. Locally sourced ingredients are used, but every menu item feels like it was transported directly from Italy. While their weekly pasta special and Ravioli Spinaci might get most of the attention, everyone should try the pizzette. This fried pizza dough is stuffed with all the perfect toppings, and although it’s not the typical pie, it’s still some of the best pizza in Atlanta. Valet parking is available and there’s an Italian grocer inside as well!

Esquire Magazine once called Pricci a 'dazzlingly modern, very hip Italian restaurant,' and one trip to this eatery shows that it’s maintained the status. The open kitchen, massive bar, rustic lighting and vintage artworks go a long way in this endeavor, but providing guests with some of the best pizza in Atlanta doesn’t hurt either.

Any restaurant that calls itself 'Atlanta's favorite Northern Italian Steakhouse' has a big reputation to live up to, and Davio's pulls this off better than its competitors. It starts with a luxurious and chic interior. The fine linen tablecloths, candlelit tables and stylish seating ensure this ambiance persists. Guests love showing up for special events such as the live music brunches or Celebrity Happy Hour. Of course, it could be the prime steaks, handmade pasta, fresh seafood or best pizzas in Atlanta that keep patrons coming back. The white cheese and prosciutto pizzas shouldn't be missed, but adventurous diners need to have the calamari or La Quercia Americano Prosciutto pizzas at least once.
