"When Nina & Rafi opened in early 2019, all eyes were on co-founder Anthony Spina, who made a name for himself turning a square pizza called Grandma’s Pie into a religion at Duluth’s O4W Pizza. This time, the pizza he unveiled was the Detroit Red Top, made with a super-thick crust, marinara on top of the cheese, and a layer of baked cheese hugging the crust’s perimeter. Though Spina recently left the restaurant to brainstorm another pizza-parlor opening, the Detroit remains Atlanta’s pie darling—at least for now. There are additional pizza options on the menu (the thin-crust Old Fashioned, the Neapolitan-style round pie), as well as hearty appetizers like risotto rice balls and a chopped pizzeria salad. But the reason you’re here is the colossal Detroit, and it’s hard to find room for anything else. Come with your appetite, a loose pair of pants, and plenty of time." - Allison Weiss Entrekin
