Pizza by Yandys (New York and detroit style pizza)

I’ve been hearing awesome things about this place and I finally got the chance to try it. This is quite possibly the best pizza I’ve had in a long time. All of the ingredients tasted delicious and the crust was the PERFECT amount of crispy. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming which made it even more special. I also love that it feels super quaint and tucked away. I can’t wait to come back!

Eater Atlanta published The Best Pizza Place in Atlanta May Be Hidden Inside a Mexican Grocery Store. We read the writeup on Pizza by Yandys, reviewed the menu, and investigated in-person at lunch. We ordered a slice of Detroit style cheese, a meat lovers stromboli, and two Diet Cokes. We split the slice, while waiting on the stromboli. The Detroit style slice had an airy crust with crispy, caramelized cheese edges and a daub of sauce on top. During the early lunch rush, our stromboli was forgotten. However, as soon as we inquired the owner/chef got right on it. When it arrived, we split the stromboli stuffed with mozzarella, bacon, ground beef, ham, pepperoni, and sausage and it was amazing. A lot of pizza joints offer calzones, but a good stromboli is more of a unique menu offering. For our extended wait, we were allowed to keep a supreme stromboli the kitchen made in error just prior to firing the meat lovers we ordered. We set the supreme aside for lunch tomorrow. Despite the wait, lunch was delicious and we plan to return.

Pizza by Yandis is tucked inside Carnicería Los Pinos in Sandy Springs, and it’s absolutely worth the stop. I came specifically for their hot honey pepperoni pizza, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve had. The crust is light and crunchy with that perfect bite. The hot honey brings just the right amount of spice without being overwhelming, and the ricotta balances it out with a creamy finish. The pepperoni was cooked to perfection—crispy edges, flavorful, and plenty of it. The staff here is great—friendly and welcoming. While I sat and ate, I noticed how they knew their regulars, asking about their families and catching up. You can tell they care about their customers. Parking is easy since it’s part of the carnicería, and as a bonus, there’s a panadería inside if you want fresh bread or sweets after your pizza. Overall: incredible pizza, friendly service, and definitely a new favorite stop for me when I’m in the area. Highly recommend.

I kept hearing how great this pizza place was, so we finally gave it a try—twice in less than two weeks! 😂 On our first visit, we ordered a plain cheese and a pepperoni pizza. Both were absolutely delicious—authentic New York-style, just as promised. We enjoyed it so much that we came back again not long after. During our second visit, we ordered two pizzas again, but this time the wait felt unusually long. The staff was very apologetic and kindly threw in some garlic rolls to make up for it. Totally worth the wait—the pizzas came out piping hot and just as tasty as the first time. This round, we tried the Margherita and another pepperoni—both excellent. We live within walking distance, and we’re thrilled to have such fantastic pizza so close by. No doubt we’ll be back again soon! Update: We tried the Detroit pizza and- delicious. The crispy cheesy crust was irresistible. We ordered half pepperoni and half cheese. I don't eat pepperoni butthe ones that did both said that it could have used more cheese on top but other than that- we'll be ordering this again!

I saw state Shapiro on Instagram do a review on this place and was working down the street on Glen Lake Parkway and had to try it. I am so impressed. The gentleman in there was so nice to me. Thank you so much. The pizza is so good.

We got takeout from Pizza by Yandy’s and tried the Pizza a’la Vodka and the Hot Honey Char Pepperoni—both were so good. We called in the order and it was ready in 15 minutes, which was perfect. Just checked the website to double check the pizza names and noticed you can order online now too. When we got there, there was a little line but the pizzas were hot and ready. You can also get it by the slice, which is nice to know. The crust was perfectly crispy—like, didn’t even have to ask for extra crispy, they just knew. Held up all the toppings without flopping. They get me. Definitely going back.

Definitely meets up to the hype . As a native of NJ good pizza and good bagels are really hard to come by in certain areas of Georgia . It’s located inside the Cerniceria on your right . They also have a good about of seating if you want to eat there . I preordered my pizza via the slice app. One thing I must say I appreciated is I received a text telling me that it would be ready at 12:15 and maybe a few minutes later a follow up text letting me know it was very busy so it would be ready till closer to 12:30 which I wish restaurants would do it’s so annoying when you arrive and have to wait because it’s so busy. Sure enough by the time I got there my pizza was ready with the side of ranch I requested. I took the time to walk around the Cerniceria they have fresh produce and what appears to be really great cuts of meat like going to a butcher in the back so definitely take the moment to shop if you can . I think my only issue with the pizza I ordered which was the Hot Honey Char Pepperoni Pizza was that the hot honey was more a mild honey and more honey than heat which sweetened the pizza a bit too much especially with the whipped ricotta it kinda gives it a cannoli filling flavor which is slightly too sweet for my liking but still very excellent pizza. Will definitely return to try more pizzas .

Hot honey pizza is delicious! Tell them to make it crispy. Whole pie Little pricey but you get what you pay for. Definitely give these folks a try

This is my first time writing a restaurant review because this place is just that good. Best pizza in the area! I like that it's in the Mexican grocery as well.

This is a hidden gem, tucked inside a Carnecia. Hole in a wall is not a bad connotation. Everything is in to go boxes, but there are about 10 tables where you can sit down and enjoy. Sauce - very vibrant and fresh tasting. Not overly sweet, and not overpowering with unnecessary herbs, just the right balance. Crust is very light, yet the right amount of crunch. We got the margherita and added pepperoni- delicious. I wish we got a larger order, so we could take the leftovers home.

Yandy's pizza is the best! Family run business and you can tell the pizzas are made with love. The crust is delicious and the specialty pizzas are excellent. I normally order the veggie with white sauce, but today I chose the vodka pie. Fresh tomato sauce and fresh basil! So good! Just remember the restaurant is tucked in the corner of a Mexican grocery so it can be hard to find. There is a small seating area if you want to dine in, but it's not fancy. Just great pizza served by a friendly family!

Since my first visit, I've been back twice. Tried the deep dish Detroit style pepperoni this time. Very good but their New York style remains my favorite. Don't go there for the ambiance. You go there for the pizza and that's worth the trip.

Small pizza ,not sure why pizza is 20 dollars for a small but I'll take it ..the location threw me off because it was in a Spanish store ...

It is located inside the Pandería! The Mexican grocery store. For a little corner shop (one oven and maybe 4 employees!!!) this pizza is INCREDIBLE. I had the hot honey char pepp, extra crispy. FYI if it's Friday at 6pm.... You may need to order in person. I tried to call and place a pickup order and also downloaded the Slice app, neither were available. Might be worth waiting a bit and coming back to the app. I read such good reviews that I drove 20 mins to place an order for carry out. I waited about 40 minutes and it was VERY worth it. They were working as fast as they could and doing a great job. I'm so so glad I tried this place. Best pizza I've had since living here for the last 5 years.

Nuff said! Outstanding pizza, outstanding service. The reheat in the air fryer is the best part.

I had a cheese slice and a Detroit slice. Both were great but the Detroit slice was AMAZING! Friendly service too.

This place was amazing. The pizza was great and it was priced well. The owners were very nice too and they serve two kinds of pizza. New York and Detroit style pizza. The Location could be better since it's in a Mexican grocery store so it's hidden. If they had their own place, it would be better exposure for them.

The reviews are spot on! Absolute hidden gem, most unexpected food find! As a native New Yorker, I can be picky when it comes to good pizza, especially after living in Atlanta for over 20 years. This pizza is the real deal. Located inside a carniceria no less! We went on a Friday at 530pm; ordered a large pie with sausage and mushrooms and it was ready in 15 minutes. Ordered it to go but ate it there. We could tell it was good as soon as we opened the box. THIS is exactly how pizza should be. Great crust, delicious sauce, hit on every note. I promise, you won't be disappointed. Best pizza I've had in a while.

After three visits over the period of a couple weeks, bumping this up to 5. This is hands down the best Detroit style slice to get in the city. I had the opportunity to try a fresh out of the oven slice after opening on a Saturday, and I had two options: 1) cheese - the fresh, crispy crackly charred cheese ends, no added shredded mozzarella on top, and again the simple tomato sauce and basil on top shout high quality ingredients. But again the dough is stellar and truly the star of the show 2) hot honey and crispy cuppy pepperoni - I take back what I said about quality ingredients. I don't know if this is always an option, but the cuppy pepperoni had just the right char, the ricotta rich and the hot honey knocked it out of the park. Yep, this is the slice to get.

Our family loved their Margarita pizza & garlic rolls. Great service too! We will definitely be back.

I don't give out 5 stars lightly but damn this guy knows how to make a pizza. This easily has to be the best pizza in Sandy Springs maybe top 5 in the state. His Detroit Style is incredible and the hot honey pepp ny style is my go to. Came in here twice this week!

A very good New York style slice. It is inside a Mexican Grocery, so don't think your GPS is lying to you. Really the best NYC slice I have had in Atlanta.

YES YES YES - Yandy's is a YES! Loving the pizza and the smiling faces that delivered that yummy goodness to my face! Such a treat of the street - you wont find a better slice or pie in ATL. It fits a unique spot in the market - so give it a try and if you dont like it, you can drop the leftovers at my place!

Makes a really good pizza. Setup in a small grocery store so plenty to look at. Enjoyed the change of atmosphere.

Easily the best pizza in Sandy Springs. Friendly service. Convenient parking. Very casual.

Great pizza. Some of the best in ATL by far and super nice people. Had a thin ultimate slice and a deep dish. Both were great. Fresh and well proportioned.

Great pizza, outstanding service. I got the buffalo chicken pizza and it exceeded expectation! The best buffalo chicken pizza I've ever tasted, actually. Can't wait to go back! It took some time for them to make, and when it was finally ready, the guy explained that it took longer because he remade it for me as he felt like he overcooked the first one he made. He showed me the "overcooked" pizza and to me it looked fine, but he said it wasn't up to their standard to serve to a paying customer. I really appreciated the thought and care they put into it, and like I said before, it was definitely worth the wait. They truly care about the customer here. The atmosphere/ambiance is more of a casual grab and go spot and it's located inside of a Mexican supermarket with other food spots.

The hot honey pepperoni was some of the best pizza I've ever had!! It's worth the trip there. The service was also great.

This is the first pizza I got raw and destroyed. Second one wasn't destroyed but was still under cooked. Had to put the second one back in the oven at home. Driver is great though.

Pizza by Yandys is located inside of the Mexican supermarket, Carniceria Los Pinos. Yandy takes tremendous pride and his pizza and will welcome you with a warm smile. Yandy's is a great addition to the Sandy Springs area especially if you are looking for pizza by the slice. The pizza was fantastic, particularly the Detroit slice.

Good! Odd location. It's inside a Mexican grocery store, but easy to get to. I've been looking for a good pizza to grab for dinner that was on my way home from work. Finally found one.

Been a very long time since I've had crust like this. This place is busy but will be even more so when the word is out. Please be patient and chill out, quality control and family bidness. Lived the digital nomad lifestyle for the last decade in South America, Europe, and Asia. Personally, healthy fermented dough...combination of high PH water, flour, and yeast is so damn hard to come by. 48 hour fermentation :) Took my parents here (Dad who requested Naples pizza trip for his 60th) were also astounded by the crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings. This is the type place that I like and makes me proud to be American.

One of my neighbors has been talking about this place. He just called and told me to meet him at my door with a plate. And he gave me this delicious slice. It's 2:30 in the afternoon and I'm not remotely hungry but I had to force myself to put it away and not eat the whole piece while standing in my kitchen. So fresh and delicious!

I stumbled upon this place doing my quarterly search for new pizza places and was surprised to find it inside a Mexican grocery. The owner and pie-maker is super nice guy Diego who absolutely knows his stuff having spent over a decade honing his craft in New York. He's from the Arthur Ave- Little Italy section of the Bronx. He is doing 3-4 day cold fermented dough and the end result is the real deal. I just got a couple of slices but will definitely return for a whole pie. Also the Detroit pie looks great! Please support this family owned business and put away any concerns about it being in a Mexican grocery.

After hearing great things about the pizza here on Nextdoor, we had to come in to try it. We ordered the hot honey pepperoni pizza and cheesy bread. We've since come back (for the same pizza because it is amazing) and also have gotten the garlic knots. Service is wonderful here which is unfortunately rare at so many places these days. The staff is genuine, communicative, and hard working and they really appreciate the business. They make sure to show you the entire order so that you know that everything is there. The pizza is AMAZING. I love hot honey pizza in general but this place takes it to a whole new level and is very generous with the hot honey. It is now one of our two favorite pizza places in Atlanta and I can't recommend it enough.

I can't say much in addition to the other reviews. Great pizza, very friendly and reasonably priced. And on the other side, sharing the same space, is a "Mexican/Hispanic" restaurant that I have gone to, on and off, for years. Best burritos in town. So you can mix and match two ethnicities at once!

We've tried cheese, white, and margherita. All three were great. Nice thin crispy crust and delicious overall.

This was inside a Mexican grocery store across from the taco restaurant. Not fancy. Plenty of seating. Owner was friendly and we got a few slices of different pizza. Slices are always better because they get reheated and the bottom is crispy. Pizza was excellent. Right amount of sauce for me. Probably going back again today.

Amazing pizza! I recommend planning around errands. They were very busy and told me it would be 45 minutes. So I ran errands in the area and came back to get the pizza from the oven. The crust was so good and the owner/chef is a hard worker. Very happy with the experience.

Might be the best NY style pizza in Atlanta. The Detroit is also incredible. Highly recommend a visit!!

Great pizza , best NY Style pizza in Sandy Springs Highly recommended . You will not be disappointed

Great pizza. Very classic new york style. Owner is very friendly and clearly takes pride in his work. Great hidden gem!

This is the best pizza around here! The place looks is inside a small market, but excellent take out! Don't miss it

WOW! This is a hidden GEM!! The owner was very friendly and she was very accomodating. We had been looking for a sicilian style pizza and noted they had a Detroit pizza (which was AWESOME). This place is located inside a Mexican Market. Great to eat and then shop! The Detroit Pizza dough was very light and we did not feel full or uncomfortable after eating a slice. Oh yes, you can order by the slice for both New York and Detroit Style Pizzas. They have great prices and also serve calzones, strombolis, salads and garlic rolls. This is a must to visit!!!

I almost ascended into heaven with this pizza. Couldnt find it at first because it's in a grocery store, but DONT GIVE UP. As soon as I went in I knew it was gonna be good. Came out super quick, guy was very nice, and the pizza was amazing.

Phenomenal. A must visit. They haven't been open for a very long time, but they deserve to stay open! You also must try the Detroit style pizza and any slice of the NY style pizza. Tiramisu is also very good, but will make many returns for their detroit style alone.

Excellent pizza. Crispy and tasty. Highly recommend. New York style and fresh tasting and super hot. Got a large cheese made to order and it was really great.

Family owned and operated pizzeria using high quality ingredients. Their dough is rested for 48 hours to allow for a light, crispy airy crust. My wife and I discovered Yandy's last week and will not be buying pizza anywhere else for the forseeable future. So far we've tried a Detroit style and New York style white pizza which were both hauntingly delicious. Even though it is located within the los pinas grocery store, This place is absolutely the real deal and serves great food with love. We're already looking forward to our next meal! Online ordering available or save a couple bucks to order in person. Yandy and family will earn your repeat business.

The pizza at Yandys is next level New York Pizza. I got it out of yelp. Don't let the Mexican Grocery Store throw you! The Pizza is full of freshness! Made fresh !
