Craving a pizza with perfect cheese pull, crispy crust, and all your favorite toppings? Well, October is National Pizza Month, and we can't think of a food that better deserves its own party. From NY-style pizza in the A-T-L to creative stone-baked pies with unique flavor combinations, we'd rather miss our flight than miss the slices at the best pizza parlors in the ATL Airport District. We’ve got a slew of diverse joints that run the full gamut, all the way from meat lovers to vegan, so we can guarantee the perfect pie for every pizzatarian, every day of the year.
1804 Pizza Bar & Lounge
🍕 6335 Roosevelt Hwy. Union City, GA 30291
This revolutionary pizza joint puts the “union” in Union City by fusing authentic Haitian cuisine with traditional pizza-making methods for one-of-a-kind pies packed with unique flavors. While you’ll certainly find the classics, like cheese or veggie, you can also indulge in Haitian-inspired specialties like oxtail pizza, griot pizza (made with marinated pork), or a fried shrimp pizza with creole chili pepper sauce. Open till 2AM on the weekends for anyone looking for late night oxtails and cocktails.
Best Pizza & Wings
🍕 2818 Camp Creek Pkwy. College Park, GA 30337
As one of the top options in the District for fast carryout or delivery, Best Pizza & Wings serves up specialty staples like Supreme, Meat, and Veggie, as well as more exotic pies like Greek, Mexicano, or Lamb pizza. They also offer salad, pasta, calzones, hot or cold subs, and even a fried chicken plate (we are still in Atlanta, y'all). And one of the very best parts is getting it all delivered right to your hotel after a busy day of traveling.
Hapeville Pizza Company
🍕 626 S Central Ave, Hapeville, GA 30354
Hapeville Pizza Company loves the Atlanta Airport so much, they baked it right into the menu. Here you’ll find District-themed dishes like The Aviator pepperoni pizza (also available with turkey pepperoni!), The Tri-Cities meat lovers, The Terminal margherita, and the Hapeville Hottie buffalo chicken pizza. And they don’t just leave wings in the basket, they put ‘em right on the pie with the uniquely Atlanta-flavored Lemon Pepper Chicken Pizza. Can’t decide on just one flavor? They’ll make you a half & half.
Johnny's New York Style Pizza
🍕834 Virginia Ave, Hapeville, GA 30354
Looking for a slice of the Big Apple in the District? Get delivery, take out, or dine-in at Johnny’s New York Style Pizza, where hand-tossed dough has been the star of the show since 1977. There are currently 50 Johnny's locations in Georgia, but the Hapeville location was the first (and we would argue the best)! Build your own pizza with your favorite toppings, or go for a customer-approved favorite like Johnny’s Deluxe, Steak and Cheese, or the pesto-based Chicken Florentine pizza. Gluten-free and cauliflower crust pizzas are available, as well as delicious flatbreads, salads, and Italian dinners for those rare diners who might not be in the mood for pizza (we don’t know them and we don’t want to).
Mellow Mushroom College Park
🍕1477 Virginia Ave. College Park, GA 30337
This funky, art-inspired pizzeria was founded in Atlanta and serves up craft beer, calzones, and inspired stone-baked pizzas. Enjoy “a Higher Order” of pizza like the Holy Shiitake with black truffle oil, the Maui Wowie Hawaiian pizza with a few twists, or the plant-based Veg Out. Chances are you won’t find these unique flavor combinations anywhere else. Seat yourself at their full bar, in one of their themed dining sections, or be one with nature and enjoy your slices on their dog-friendly patio.
Your Pie Pizza
🍕925 Virginia Ave. Ste. C, Hapeville, GA 30354
If you’re a diehard fan of brick oven pizza, look no further than this build-your-own pizza joint. At Your Pie Pizza, diners choose their dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings, all with a wide variety of dietary options. Then again, if building your own pizza feels like too much work, you can simply choose from their signature items, like Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza or BBQ Chicken Bacon Ranch. Go for date night and treat your sweetie with a sweet scoop (or two…or three) of rotating seasonal Italian gelato!
