"This Summerhill pizza joint has pizza graffiti on almost every wall and their actual slices are almost as big as the wall art. While slice size matters, we’re really here for Junior’s options. The family-friendly spot offers a ton of choices from a basic cheese ($3.25) to the delicious Forever I Love Atlanta slice ($4.50), which includes chicken, waffle fries, and lemon pepper sauce. Plus, they do a vegan slice, which is surprisingly tough to find in the city despite our abundance of top-notch vegan restaurants. The super casual interior is rarely full because most visitors (including us) opt for the umbrellaed tables on the large patio. " - nina reeder, juli horsford
"When you gotta have a slice, Junior’s is the only pizzeria within a few miles. And thankfully they’re good. There’s nothing junior about the giant slices of pizza at this casual, heavily graffitied pizza joint, which shares patio space with Wood’s. You can get a whole pie here, but we usually opt for a slice of the loaded veggie or the garlicky white. And you’ll need to do the NYC fold to avoid the dangerous pizza droop that spills toppings onto the table instead of your mouth. " - juli horsford, demarco williams
"Junior’s Pizza on Georgia Avenue in Summerhill serves thin crust and Sicilian-style pizzas inspired by those found throughout New York City. This includes pies with ingredients like cup and char pepperoni, which curls and chars on the edges as it bakes. There are vegan pizzas here, too. A second location is now open in Hapeville." - Eater Staff
