Pizzas and martinis with creative toppings, happy hour specials
"Martinis and pizza, anyone? This spot in the Harwood District is known for its creativity, serving fancy pies like the Fig and Favor (shaved roasted lamb, Parmesan, cucumber sauce, dill, feta, and fig jam) or the Texan (cheddar, Harwood beef brisket, house barbecue sauce, and pickled red onions). There are also some great standards, like a cheesy quattro formaggi, a classic margherita, and a spinach and artichoke pie. Even better, its thin, crispy crust doesn’t fill you too quickly, leaving plenty of space for a salad or some appetizers. The atmosphere at Poco Fiasco is reminiscent of a Brooklyn-style pizzeria, and there are screens to watch the game. It also features a walk-up window for grabbing a slice. If you drive: There is a parking garage next door with free spots. Finding parking in the Harwood District on the street is nearly impossible, so watch for the not-at-all-well-marked directions to the garage." - Courtney E. Smith
"Pizzas are best served with ice-cold martinis, and salty cheese and acidic tomato sauce taste better with a liquid lemon twist. That’s at least true at Poco Fiasco. The bustling bar is a great pick for Happy Hour, when beers are $3, slices are $4, and martinis are $9. They don’t skimp when it comes to their hefty pies, like the Texan topped with cheddar, beef brisket, barbecue sauce, and pickled red onion. If Happy Hour runs three rounds, get some more food like the calamari or meatballs." - kevin gray
"Is listed as one of 30 local businesses scheduled to serve pizza at a pizza festival taking place April 6, 2025 (hosted by Eataly). The press release tied early-bird ticket pricing—$55 until February 2, with prices increasing afterward—to the event and said a portion of ticket sales will be donated to New Friends, New Life: Liberty Street Garden, described in the release as an “organization that empowers trafficked and sexually exploited teen girls, women and their children, and drives awareness of the issue and its prevalence.”" - Courtney E.

"Some Mondays require pizza, and some very rough Mondays call for a martini. This spot in the Harwood District has both. The crusts are thin, crispy, and flavorful while the pie options go from the expected to put an egg on top (why not?). Equally deep are the martini options, and it is worth trying all of them (perhaps just not all on the same night). If you’re looking for a spot to watch Monday night sportsball, there are TVs a plenty." - Courtney E. Smith
