The Scene
With its yard-sale furniture, amateur artwork and stalled DIY renovation projects, this pizzeria wobbles between being bohemian and just plain beat-up. Here, you'll bus your own table and separate your trash. Heck, you can even return your pizza box for recycling.
The Food
Since nothing else claims the limelight here, the pizza might as well. Thankfully, it does. A step-and-a-half above the local competition, Cameli's serves thin, crispy, ultra-basic pizza. Opt for the plain cheese classic thin or a monster slice and add the homemade Italian sausage. Also worth your attention are the gourmet combinations (try the Tranquillo or the Pax Americana). Welcome to your new weekly habit.

There was a time when i didn't know what real pizza was, and then i found Cameli's. Pizza is a pretty broad category, anything with crust, sauce, and cheese qualifies, but its easy to tell when pizza is better than good. This place has it down. The menu is broad, but not confusing. You can choose from 4 different pizza sauces, all more delicious than the last, and the toppings are all quality. All of the crust is thin, but if you want the ultimate in crispy crust, go for one of their massive slices. They renovated the old hole-in-the-wall decor last year sometime, and added a bar. While I admit that i liked the old Cameli's, new cameli's is roomier and has a lot of new options on the menu. The spicy tomato and pancetta pata sauce is worth the trip alone. With the new bar, beer selection has expanded to include several more exotic beers than an average pizza place might carry. A+ Cameli's!! if i was ever out of town, and had to get a slice somewhere else, your's would be the standard.

I consider myself somewhat of a pizza connoisseur-but I was late in the game checking this place out. So I have been making up for lost time -I try to go at least once a week. This truely is the best pizza I have had in Atlanta. You can get a mini small cheese pizza (great for kids) or a MONSTER cheese slice which is a deal cause it is only a few dollars. I go for the specialty pies- LOVE the sundred tomato sauce. Great crust and not greasy..None of the wierd chewy cheese is served here. Definitely start with a salad-the balsamic dressing & croutons are homemade and addictive. My son has to leave with a handful of croutons everytime we leave. He says to tell you they are the "best ever" ! They have trivia and they serve Pimm's. What more could I ask for?

Cameli's is committed to a high quality of customer service. Please don't let that review from 1/14 deter you from coming to the best pizza joint in town. The reviewer from 1/14 was absolutely not present for the incident in question. His super-drunk friend began yelling and screaming that his slice was taking too long. When the manager told him that his food was still in the oven and that he should calm down, the drunk guy started swinging at the manager. Our manager did defend himself and the drunk was forced out of the restaurant with the help of a very good customer of ours. Moral of the story: if you are naturally violent, obnoxious, and drunk as a skunk, please stay at home.
