Ammazza Decatur

"This counter-service pizza spot on Edgewood delivers standout, perfectly salty housemade mozzarella that's appealingly flavorful and gooey without making the pie soggy. Lounging on their outdoor patio or at the communal table inside is probably our favorite way to spend a pie-filled afternoon here. And while their wood-fired Neapolitan crust is a bit thinner than average, it allows the cheese’s goodness to shine through. If you want a little greenery with your slices, Ammazza’s salads with creamy homemade dressing are really good, too. " - Nina Reeder

"October also saw the closures of Ammazza pizza in Decatur." - Beth McKibben

"The Decatur location of Neapolitan-style pizzeria Ammazza permanently closed after nearly two years. The closure was announced on Instagram without details on the cause. Ammazza Decatur had temporarily closed at the start of the pandemic and reopened two months later for takeout and patio seating. The original Ammazza on Edgewood Avenue remains open." - Beth McKibben

"The smart people at Ammazza know the simple equation that brings a crowd: good pizza and beer. Add the fact that the tables on their sunny patio can seat up to 12 and you can expect your entire kickball team to show up after practice in Old 4th Ward Park. The pizzas here are topped with local ingredients, like spicy soppressata that’s made down the road at The Spotted Trotter. They even make some of their pizzas using homemade cashew “cheese,” so your vegan friends can enjoy the trifecta of pizza, beer, and sunshine too." - Neal Cohen

"Then, Neapolitan-style pizzeria Ammazza returned (sort of) to the Atlanta pizza scene when it opened in Decatur. It will eventually reopen the original restaurant on Edgewood Avenue." - Beth McKibben
