Firewall

"Firewall Food Stop in the Westview neighborhood features wood-fired pizzas and sandwiches on its menu. Owned by Westview resident Sam Eidus, the restaurant serves mostly Neapolitan-style pizzas, including four specialty pies like the Farmer made with fennel sausage, sweet peppers, and fresh mozzarella and a vegetarian pizza aptly named the Gardener with spinach, tomato, ricotta, lemon, and garlic. As for sandwiches, there’s the braised pork shoulder and collard greens-based Southern Italian topped with provolone and hot peppers or the Fertile Crescent featuring ten-spice chicken, pickles, greens, poached raisins, walnuts, and Zhoug sauce (cilantro)." - Eater Staff

"Firewall makes some of the best sandwiches in America. While their wood-fired, overstuffed pita sandwiches outshine their pies, this Mediterranean pizzeria on Ralph David Abernathy still cooks up some noteworthy hits, like a meaty short rib bolognese pizza. Firewall’s dough is on the denser side, so we always get a side of their creamy Israeli-style hummus to dip the ends of our crust in.  " - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford

"This small Mediterranean pizzeria in Westview makes some of the best pizza in the city, but even those are eclipsed by Firewall’s incredible stuffed pitas. Just like the pies, the sesame pitas get a lovely crunch and subtle smoky flavor from the wood-fired oven. Unlike the thin pizza, these bread vessels are able to support a mound of seasoned roasted cauliflower, creamy hummus, sweet pecans, and sour pickled vegetables, which are all loaded into the Flying V. But our favorite pita is the Southern Italian. Inspired by Philly’s famous roast pork sub, it’s stuffed with braised shredded pork, provolone, vinegary hot peppers, and damn-near a whole pot of collard greens." - juli horsford, nina reeder

"ATLANTA Though this pizzeria makes some of the best pies in Atlanta, we’d promptly trade them in for their incredible pita sandwiches. Firewall’s bread is baked in a wood-fired oven, so you get a nice crunch and a subtle smoky flavor from the sesame pitas. Every sandwich here is game-changing, but the Southern Italian is the best. Even though it’s inspired by Philadelphia’s roast pork, it stays true to Georgia with a load of tender collard greens that pairs naturally with braised shredded pork, salty provolone, and tangy hot peppers." - team infatuation, carlo mantuano

"Who stumbled in here because the Slutty Vegan line was too long and who’s here because they know Firewall is the truth? Food this good takes time, so we’re content making up “guess who” games to entertain ourselves at this Mediterranean pizzeria, a small, mostly takeout establishment on Ralph David Abernathy. While Firewall makes a standup wood-fired pie (that made our best pizza list), their overstuffed pita sandwiches steal the show. Cooked in the pizza oven, the pita bread has a deliciously smoky flavor. Then it's jam-packed with flavorful fillings, like the Flying V’s mix of Israeli-style hummus, seasoned roasted cauliflower, sweet pecans, and tangy pickled vegetables. " - Nina Reeder
