Grant Central Pizza East

This was my second visit. The first time sucked, had a young guy working the register that was NOT friendly and he messed up my order. However, this second visit was better. Pizza was great. Will be by again.

My first and last time eating here. The crust was burnt, like eating cardboard and tastes like a frozen burnt dry pizza. The cashier was rude. waited for 30 min for nothing. Just Horrible. Do Better.

A nice hipster spot serving pizza by the slice. We arrived in the late afternoon and there weren’t many other patrons. We got pizza slices and it took almost 20 minutes. The spinach wasn’t well cooked but was flavorful. The service was fine, although our waiter was a bit impersonal. I dug the decor, which is rustic bordering on dilapidated. This place fits well in the hip neighborhood, just a nice chill spot. Solid value if you love slices. Limited parking spots in the back.

Ordered over the phone with a special request, Isabella said it would be done. She lacked any customer service upon arrival and then was vaping while stocking paper towels— disgusting. On top of that, received our pizza and it was not as we requested. Isabella, I’m sure you’re allowed a smoke break, take it.

This place never ceases to amaze me. The pizza is always fresh & delicious! They may take a few minutes more than other spots because they’re usually busy- that’s a good sign! Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff, nice enough building. I had a meatball sub. The meatballs and bread were great, I didn't really like the sauce, but it didn't ruin it by any means, still a nice sandwich. The pizza has a little too much crust for my taste, but the toppings and cheese were good. Best part of the whole visit is the prices, inexpensive for what you get.

EASILY one of (if not) the best pizzas I've had in ATL. I was actually shocked how good it was. I had two "Super" slices and they were huge, much larger than their sample slice diagram. The crust was perfectly cooked and there were so many toppings but all properly proportioned, well worth the price. This will be my go-to pizza spot.

I gave them 5 stars because they were the closest thing I've tasted to how pizza shops up North do it. Soon as I bit into a slice, it put me back in Boston on Mass Ave St. I was very surprised, the crust, grease, and cheese was an excellent taste and texture. My daughter also enjoyed her slice as well, the cook sliced her pizza into pieces which I thought was very accommodating. Nice chill spot with an outside portion as well. We will be back 👌👌👌

Grant central pizza is such good pizza. A large is a really good size for a few friends and the pizza is always piping hot. I usually get my food to go, but the inside is a very laidback pizza parlor vibe. It's perfect for a date night, or quick stop for something to eat while exploring EAV.

Friendly staff, cool vibe, great tunes, clean!!! Stopped in for a quick lunch. Pizza is NY style but a bit chewier crust. Lots of topping options. They also have specials along with beer/hard ciders. Prices reasonable. Service very friendly. Place your order at the counter, get a number and they bring the food to your table. Stop by when you're in the neighborhood

Loved the brick and old school look. The white pizza was fantastic. It also didn't take too long to come out. We had a sweet waitress, super attentive. Came after the zoo, good neighborhood joint.

A diamond in the middle of graffiti. Any concerns with parking being scarce and the amount of spray paint adorning the local buildings all disappear with the first taste of the pizza in this Gem!! Without a doubt, it's one of the best pizza shops I've ever had in ATL. Clean and pleasant interior. Wonderful, authentic, friendly wait staff. They also have plenty of outdoor seating.

It was empty when we went yet it still took forever to get our food. It actually came out when bae was bout ready to leave. According to the waiter their priority was the orders over the phone. The pizza was good but if the person IN the establishment isnt considered Id rather not return just order delivery or pick up.

Very clear they are short staffed. Food was hot and salad was crisp. My only concern is the wait time to receive food or even a beverage. I think there were only two people up front and it looks like they were doing the best they could do.

Food was great, service was great and it's in a nice area of Glenwood. If you're looking for NY style pizza this is it.

I've finally found New York Style pizza in Atlanta that tastes amazing! Zomg. Granted, we were out drinking all night in East Village, BUT! This thin crust, light tasty sauce and heavy cheese with billowy crust edges was EVERYTHING! I felt like I was 19 again and standing outside a 24 hour pizza joint in NYC gobbling down goodness after clubbing all night. Go try it! I had pepperoni on mine because I like the finer things in life.

Great food and atmosphere with friendly staff :) my review needs to be 85 characters (better than the Uber driver I had on the way here who almost ran us into oncoming traffic.... Thanks Kenny!)

Very disappointed. My slice was fully cold and looked as if they just threw the toppings onto a cold slice to where the topping was falling off. Make sure you guys take care of your online orders as if the person was in front of you.

Service is horrible. Pizza takes an hour and the staff laughed when they forgot part of an order. Save your money go to Savage in Little 5 better pizza and they treat the customers with respect. For same pizza with better service go to Papa John s on Moreland basically go anywhere else

Great Ny style pizza and my new favorite in town. The place is very laid back with ample seating in East atlanta. Cardiac arrest pizza was the best one amongst the ones we tried. The biggest drawback was we waited upwards of 40 minutes for our two slices on a Friday night. They had only two ppl working in the kitchen and there was not enough staff to bus the tables. It seems they had many to go orders.

I usually opt for other pizza places but decided to give this another go. We just ordered a large cheese pizza for pick up. It was filled with cheese and was all gooey. I was even impressed with the crust.

The whole experience with Grant Central Pizza was terrible. We went to order for eat in at 6:11pm (this is important for later). After ordering we were never quoted a time for our food, this is also important for later. One person at our table got their pizza after about 15 minutes--totally reasonable. The other two at the table, myself included, were left waiting. When I went up ask about the food, the alleged "manager", Kaitlynn J, was extremely rude. She rudely told me she had said it would be 45 minutes when we ordered and it was right at the 45 minute mark. Except, you never quoted us a time when we ordered? And people that came in after us had already been served their food. So I didn't understand the attitude. It was then that I asked for my tip back--just $5.81 and maybe a crappy thing to do but I couldn't take the total lack of customer service. She then begrudgingly gave my money back (for the tip only, just to clarify), and we got our pizza about 10 minutes later--just three of the four slices though. When they finally brought the last slice of pizza, they brought it in a to go box, which is quite passive aggressive if you ask me. All was fine after that, we were eating our mediocre pizza and talking. When Kaitlynn J walked to the back to go outside to smoke a cigarette, however, she made eye contact with me and rolled her eyes. It was very mature of her. So I decided to see if there was someone I could talk to about it, and was informed by yet another rude employee, a man this time, that Kaitlynn was the manager. He then became defensive and said, "you came in at 7 pm on a Friday, your food was going to take a while". Actually, sir, if you want to be technical I came in at 6:11pm, and I'm not here to complain about the amount of time the food took. I'm here to talk about Kaitlynn's attitude. So then I asked if she was the owner, and he told me "I'm not giving you the owner's number". That's fine, sir, I didn't want his number. Just needed to know that Kaitlynn J wasn't the owner. And she's not. That would be Mr. Don Parmer. After that extremely rude conversation I went back to my table and informed my friends we were leaving. We passed Kaitlynn outside finishing her cigarette, and when we went to the car she went inside. She came back to the door after I assumed she went over to our table (without washing your hands after a cigarette, Kaitlynn, that's not very sanitary) and opened the back door, staring at us and patronizingly waving goodbye. Mr. Parmer, you're only as strong as your weakest employee. You had two bad apples on staff tonight. You had an article written about you in 2012 by the Daily Mail and an interview on Fox Atlanta when you put on your menu that parents needed to take their disruptive and crying children outside because customers complained their dining experiences were poor as a result. Well, what are customers to do when the establishment employees are the ones making the dining experience poor?

Best pizza I ever had and not to mention the service was GREAT . The tables were comfortable. Will be back .

The Sicilian pizza is soooooooo good! Plenty of seating and there is a parking lot in the back. You place your order at the cashier and then they bring your food out. Will def be coming back

Pizza was okay. I just don't like the fact that the pizza crust gets soggy. It used to be really great. I guess they're short of help because the place wasn't as clean as it used to be. They eventually cleaned the tables. The waiter was really nice, tho. Need some upgrading and help.

Pizza is always great.. however last several times it's taken over an hour to have a pizza ready! A pizza for pick up should never take this long, especially when you're it's suppose to be done in 30min and get there and they tell you it will be be another 30minutes! Also during a non-peak time. This has happened 3 times in the last month. Gotta get it together.

Amazing pizza, great vibes atmosphere and super friendly service. This was s our definite "go to" in the east Atlanta area.

This place has OK pizza. It's better than papa johns but nothing amazing- we go there because it's near the house and the ingredients seem somewhat fresh. . The problem is they often undercook pizza that has more than 3 toppings and the middle is always soggy. Then today we ordered 4 pizza. The people in front of us ordered three They got their pizza 15 minutes before us (to go orders) and we watched other folks come in and order and get theirs before us. Probably they forgot to make one of ours or something and that was the wait . There were some online orders being picked up so of course they could be done before us. I'm talking about folks who I watched order and get food first. They also gave us one wrong pizza. My kids were super disappointed. We tipped them 15 dollars and were nice despite the horrible service. Going to stick to little azio down the street.

Excellent service, the pizza is awesome, and the beer is cold!! Parking can be a task but it's worth it!

Inconsistent pizza I've never been to a place that had such distinct differences between who makes their pizza. Some days the dough is extra thin and uber crisp which is great! Another day the dough is just right and stingy on the tomato sauce then feels extra cheesy. Meh! Although I should point out who ever makes the extra thin pizza prob uses the same amount of tomato sauce so it's not noticed to be lacking. I hate saying this but Fellini's is prob still the standard for pizza by the slice in Atlanta. Change my mind! Please!

Um location...yes! Scenery/ vibe...yes! Great pizza + realistic prices...yes and yes! Did I mention pitchers or beer, cool servers, and Sicilian style pizza? Don't worry salad lovers, their salads are the bomb as well! I've been here twice, but as it is a ritual for my ultimate frisbee team, I will be returning weekly, but even if that wasn't the case, my husband would catch me sneaking off for their pizza! The vibe is very much more casual and with lots of selections in East Atlanta Village, it always has a good crowd. Im thinking if anything, put it on your list for a bar hop snack. If you have a large group, they've got tables that can be out together to fit 20! What else, what else??? Oh yeah - this is one of two locations, but def a great vibe and place for all in EAV! Let me know if you want me to take you someone, basically I looooove this place!

As a single gal who doesn't want to end up having to shop for dresses using tent sizes, I don't order up a calzone very often. Don't get me wrong -- I love calzones, and ideally, they should be a comforting, cheesy hug to your stomach, preferably sleeping-bag-sized. I had sampled Grant Central Pizza at a friend's house once or twice and thought it was just okay, but I'd never tried their calzone. After a particularly grueling day at work, I decided to swing by and I ordered up a spinach and mushroom calzone to go from the friendly girl behind the counter. The smell coming from the box on the drive home was maddeningly delicious. Parking myself on the couch, I flicked on the TV and dove in. To put it simply, it was glorious. The crispy exterior was perfectly seasoned and not too thick, enveloping the creamy riccotta and mozzeralla mix inside, flavored with a beautiful amount of garlic and seasoning. They didn't skimp on the mushrooms and spinach, either. While I planned to eat half of it for dinner and take the other half for lunch (it's HUGE), I ate the entire thing, dipping bites into the tasty tomato sauce served on the side. My inner fat kid squealed with delight. Do yourself (and your stomach) a favor and grab one of these calzones. Your tummy will thank you.

Decent pizza. Disappointing customer service. Pizza places get busy on Friday nights, but that's no excuse to be patronizing or rude to customers. If you misspeak and say a customer's order is the "next one out" and it turns out it isn't, own your mistake. Most customers will understand that, but being dismissive, lying about what you said, attempting to demean your customer's intelligence, and then ultimately admitting it was your mistake, is not how to go about things. "I don't need your sass." Lol. I assure you, my sass was at a far lower level than yours. Cheese bread was cooked well and tasted pretty good. The pizza itself was slightly underdone due to it being pretty obviously rushed, but the flavors were there.

I used to be a very faithful Fellini's girl, (yasss cheeeeeseeeee) but I live about a mile from EAV, so I decided to cheat and give a new place a try. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I've been here a number of times and every time, they hit the spot. I usually like to create my own and mix toppings- but I imagine the menu pizzas are probably hella good too. The crust is thin with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The outer crust is nice and crispy in the outside, but soft on the inside. Nothing too heavy. The vegetables have always been nice and fresh. They even offer artichokes as a topping!! In addition to pizza, they have pastas, lasagnas and cheesecakes that change every so often. I've tried 3 different cheesecakes and loved them all! You order at the counter and are given a sign with a card, and then someone brings your food to the table. Very simple, no fuss. This place gets BUSY, but even with a packed restaurant, I've never felt the wait was unreasonable. There is street parking in the front, but also parking in the back, as well as a another entrance. They have ample seating, including in front by the window (great for dates and people watching) a full floor of tables and a back deck where you can sit. They also have this section in the back that is FULL of posters for concerts and other happenings around the city. Clutch af! I love this place so so much and it is now one of my FAVORITE pizza spots. I eat here at lease once. Week no. Would definitely recommend! (Will also add that I like this location over the Grant Central Pizza & Pasta in Grant Park.)

We were staying with our uncle in Atlanta, and he suggested we come here. As soon as we walked in, I was hit with the wonderful smell of pizza. I ordered the "Build Your Own Pizza", a Sicilian slice with bacon and pepperoni. A few bites was all it took to know I had a five star-worthy restaurant.

So I arrived at this pizza place and the young man was standing up there talking to a customer for 15min. I waited 5 more min they were still talking. So I went to the bathroom ,I come back in 5min at the most she tell me her and the manger we are closed you can only order drinks.Now remind you i have been waiting and listening to them talk about nonsense. It's only 11:00pm on a Saturday. From my understanding y'all hours says 11:00am-12:00am This was my first time and my last time .

Pizza was great, soft crust baked just right. Spaghetti was plain with not much cheese, garlic bread was cornbread.

It's not gourmet pizza it's pizza that will work if you're hungry or drunk. I can't imagine anybody making a special trip to come get this pizza. But I'm not talking down on it I'm just saying don't expect to be impressed. Honestly Marcos pizza taste better in my opinion but I think other people would say their pizza taste different not quite sure if you should compare the two. They don't have a full bar. I just wish they would do something to make it better I'm not sure what to tell them better ingredients better pizza

Went here with a group. Wasn't too sure about the location since we were unfamiliar with the area but it was great. We parked in a lot about 1/2 a block across the street from the joint and it was a very short walk. The place is very throwback. Very quirky and cute! Not a lot of updated anything. Go up to the counter, make your order (whole pie, slice, salad, pasta) get a number and they'll bring it to you. I would not say it's a true NY style (crust is not quite right) but it's very good, fresh and plentiful. Two of us ate most of a small pie (half cheese, half pepperoni and split a fresh salad). A couple across from us had pasta and said it was good too. For your leftovers, grab an empty pizza to-go box off the wall shelf yourself, pack it up and go! Overall it was fun, and for locals is probably a great place to go for a slice!! Funny thing, after eating there, we saw it in the new Netflix original series "Raising Dion" as a location. That was kinda cool.

So I'm not giving one start because the food isn't good. The food is great. The service, however sucks. There was a young woman with pink hair who was extremely rude. Hell they don't even say hello to their customers or at least she didn't.

Pizza is a sham. Ordered a sicilian slice and they stacked two cheese slices on top of one another. My nonna would be rolling in her grave

Good but not the best. I recently discovered Grant Central Pizza while searching for quick food in EAV. First Visit: I ordered a slice of pizza and a salad to go in person. The wait was a little longer than I had expected however the staff was very friendly and offered me a fountain drink while I waited. Once I got home and tried my pizza, it was just ok. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it were a late night snack after drinking. The salad seemed very old as the lettuce was a bit browned and the croutons were soggy. Definitely would not order a salad again. Second Visit: I called in an order for a calzone. Upon calling in, I was immediately asked to hold however was not actually put on hold. I could still hear everything that was happening which I thought was kind of odd. After about 2 min a young lady took my order. When I arrived, the lady at the counter was going off about a homeless guy who I guess had come in asking for a free drink and she didn't like the way he asked for it. I wasn't there for the encounter however I can say that I heard all about it while I waited at the counter for her to finish venting to the staff that was doing the cooking. When I got home and tried my calzone I can say it was definitely better than the pizza slice I had on my first visit. The fillings were plentiful and the size of the sauce that came with it was perfect. Parking: There is a parking lot behind the establishment. It has been full the two times I visited however it was very easy to find street parking. Ambiance: I can't really speak much to the ambiance since both of my visits involved to-go orders. However, both times I went there was plenty of open seating and the establishment was clean.

Discovered this place while going to one of the surrounding bars. It just so happened to be "National Pizza Day" so we decided to try it out. Good pizza with huge slices. We ordered the large white pizza and added baked chicken and it was pretty good. The only thing that bothered me is that I'm usually good about checking health scores but of course I happened to catch this one...as I was leaving -_- the score was an 81 but I couldn't see what the rating was for. I would not have ordered from here had I known. But overall pretty decent spot

If your in need of pizza in east Atlanta. This pizza dive is a good choice. It's surrounded by local bars and Local fun. Surrounded by spacious seating this place can be mistaken for a tattoo parlor. The prices are far. I got a medium pizza for 20.25 cents with a drink and 3 toppings of choice. Mistakenly or not, the pizza maker bought me a large instead! I did not complain :-) Like. As aid good place to bring the team after a soccer game to feed the kids or in the late night hours to bring a few buddies go watch games and drink beer. Either way I give it 3+ stars. This was my first time. The pizza on scale of 1 - 10 we give it an 8. Good balance if your not looking for the pizza God !

Why does this taste sub-parr to the other location? I thought I ordered from the GP location (mostly as I clicked on the GP location and the click to order). Odd, our order wasn't there. Instead we drove over the the EAV location (nbd), however, the quality of this pizza was 4am drunk za and nothing more. It doesn't taste like the other location quality at all. The crust tasted old and stale, there was barely any sauce and I ordered double topping but received the amount expected for a single topping. Not a fan. No thanks.

Cool atmosphere. Open late night! Great vegetarian pizza!!!!!!! Love this place. Flavorful food and late night hangout!

Their pizza is ok but it doesn't make up for the horrible people they have working there. Went in with a friend on Saturday and the guy making pizzas loudly made fun of my friend's shirt for the whole restaurant to hear. Then the awful woman taking orders got an attitude with him when all he did was ask if their lasagna was good, just repeating "It's lasagna" in a nasty tone. Ok but is it good? "I don't understand what you're asking me. It's lasagna." I can only assume their lasagna is not good.

was in the mood for a hot greasy mess of a meal! had been craving pizza for awhile so my cousin took me to this spot in east atlanta. i was a visitor from out of town when coming here. this was delicious, expected & perfect for my palate. would recommend if you love sliced pizza because you can spice up your own toppings. delicious :)

The pizza here is just okay, I've had better. The crust is like New York style, thin and crispy. However, there was very little sauce and not much cheese on the slices. The salad however was great, but it's hard to mess up a salad. The prices are reasonable, and I like that you can order slices instead of a whole pizza. I plan to come back but definitely will ask for more sauce and cheese.

Every New York transplant's dream is to find a spot where the cheese slice measures up to the tasty NY slices we miss from back home. Yes yes...I know..shut up..I've been here 13 years...get over it. But I can't. 13 years later the search continues. I've actually been to Grand Central (this one is on Glenwood...there is a non-related pizza spot on Cherokee which is actually tastier) quite a few times. I mean, I've lived in EAV/Decatur for 8 years plus...you kind of just land here sometimes. And that my friends is the best thing this spot has going for it. LOCATION. Whether it be a random urge for pizza after partying at the Graveyard or that same urge sober sitting on your couch...this location is super convenient. To the food we go. This particular visit (as with most) I got a cheese slice. I also got a sicilian slice which I guess is new-ish on the menu. Slice was $2.75. Silician $3.25 I believe. The cheese slice isn't great..it isn't awful..boring description but its basically mediocre. Hard to put my finger on why (as i'm not a pizza maker). The crust is crunchy which is nice. The sauce just isn't that great. Tart, dry...kinda ragu-ish. The cheese is just cheese. Doesn't particular taste of great quality nor bottom of the barrel. The silician imho wasn't a true silician but actually I found to be decent. Particular the bread. It was pretty light on the inside with a nice crisp. The sauce and cheese...yep you guessed it...pretty much same description as the cheese slice. All and all if you have the energy to make it over to Grant Park Pizza over on Cherokee do that. But what this spot offers is a true neighborhood feel. Somewhere that feels like it should be there. Honorable mention to the subs which I've had in the past and might just be better than the pizza. FYI, there is parking on the back side of this place if you aren't able to find any on the street.

I just moved downtown and was craving some za from a non-chain (I know they have 2 locations, but it's not Pizza Hut) kinda place. I've eaten at the Grant Park location many times, so I figured this experience would be the same. I called and placed a to-go order on a Thursday night. The place was dead, assuming it was due to the severe storms and pouring rain that was occurring at the time. I ordered a medium pie with bacon and onions and was quoted 20 minutes. I arrived about 25 minutes later and my order was ready. I paid the $17.55 and was on my way. The ordering and pickup was easy, smooth, efficient and friendly. Customer service was exactly as I anticipated it would be...no issues there. The pizza was cooked thoroughly and it tasted awesome, as their food usually does. Parking is definitely a bitch at this location, so be prepared to be a little frustrated there. Overall, I would definitely order from there again without hesitation. Waaaaayyy more good things about this place then there are bad. Go. Eat. Enjoy. Review.

Very clean, professional, timely, & super tasty! Always had a good experience. Would definitely recommend. Slices are big & priced right. Great choice of toppings as well.

Excellent pizza. Great vibes. The bud light draft is exactly the way it's supposed to taste.

Just plain and simple...NASTY! I just got a calzone from here with pepperoni, onion, spinach and bacon. The bacon was not cooked all the way, the pepperoni tasted package stored brought and the entire stomach sized sandwich just lacked flavor! I didn't complain or anything but one of my friends got a bad burnt slice of pizza and he had to send it back. The second time it came out it was a light yellow not even throughly cooked. Yeah this place ain't it IT... for pizza or even regular Italian food. There's a reason why I never come here and I live 4 mins away. The service is ok.. nothing over the top but friendly. I paid about 11 bucks for the calzone so it was way overpriced for the quality of the food. The place is Hella dirty which turned me off immediately. I ended up throwing the food away. Well It's going to be a HARD pass from me dawg. Disappointing. 2 STARS

I am being kind on this review. I repeat: I AM BEING KIND!!! Grant Central is down the street from my job, after allllll this time, I finally decided to give this place another try. Ok..... 1. The location- yes, it is in a trendy area but, good grief, does it need to be THIS hard to find a parking spot away from the man who was sitting on the curb watching my every move? Why is the parking lot literally trashed? 2. The service- I don't know her name, nor care, but the woman up at the front who was taking the orders and working the register, DID NOT WANT to be there at work. Her attitude was evident and loud. And I wasn't the only one who noticed it. And to be honest, it just wasn't a good look. Maybe she had an off day, I don't know. As a consumer, I don't get the opportunity to think about all of that while standing in line and watch her roll her eyes or sigh heavily bc someone has a difficult order. 3. The food- I ordered 2 slices, one (pepperoni and sausage) and the second one (mozzarella and pepperoni)..... the taste is why they are getting 2 stars bc that was the ONLY good thing about my visit. My pizza wasn't burnt, it was delicious. I called ahead so I could pick up and waited in line for about 15 minutes while Ms. Attitude took her time with the people in front of me. Now, here is my thing with Grant Central. They are not the only game in town. I personally LOVE Savage Pizza which is down the road and quite frankly, the overall experience is better. So....would I go back to Grant Central? Probably not but I would order their food and have a co worker pick it up, bc next time Ms. Attitude might work my nerves. Grade: C-

Where to start! ... We were at Mary's (gay var next to the Pizza) and wanted a bite. So, here we are. This pizza is banging! Perfect crust, perfect topping balance, and quick service. This is my new SPOT for food qhwn I am tipsy and need to recover.

Used to enjoy this place. I noticed a lot of change over the last couple years. My recent visit was a real disappointment and I will not be returning. The place is dirty. Which sucks because it's visible but their health score is not. Ordered two pizzas and one was burnt. The other was fine. I called to let them know.. and the lady on the phone was rude and said I had to drive back to show proof and couldn't send a pic to prove how burnt their pizza was. Whatever. No big deal. There are so many pizza places in Atlanta.

I ordered a small cheese pizza online, nothing special, and it took literally over a hour and a half. I ordered at 7:26 and didn't get the pizza until 9. It's a Monday night so I didn't think they'd be that busy. Regardless, it's not worth the wait. Won't be back.
