We love it here. We love this place and make it a tradition to go here whenever we can. The pizza crust is awesome doughy goodness. The sauce is good. The salads are great, especially the greek salad. HUGE offering of beers on tap. Love it!

Tasty pies come with a side of '70s nostalgia at these spruced-up college town pizzerias.. The Scene
With satellite locations in big-time university towns like Chapel Hill and Athens, this popular Atlanta chain knows what makes a college pizzeria. Newer strip mall locations aside, staple fixtures include good music, servers in Jane's Addiction T-shirts and combat boots, funky painted cinder blocks and bumper sticker-covered beer coolers. Visit the Druid Hills location for the patio.

The Food
A product of the '70s, this reliable pizzeria projects an unflappable Deadhead psychedelics-n'-health-food ethos. This amounts to lots of "shroom" references, "spring water dough" (enriched with vitamin E), plus tofu as a pizza topping and sprouts on all the hoagies. Pies are high quality and the crust--dense but crisp--is distinctive. Specialties, including the Gourmet White pie (sun-dried tomatoes, onions, feta and provolone cheeses) and the Mighty Meaty (hamburger, bacon, pepperoni, ham and sausage) are top-notch. Salads and sandwiches are college-food good, making a nice variation if you dine here often.

Philly Cheese. My co-workers and I ordered to go. I ordered a philly cheesesteak - maybe I shouldn't have at a pizza place. One would presume that when the item has the word 'cheese' in its name, maybe that would be a major ingredient - not the case here! Lots of dry meat some peppers and onions and a scattering of cheese on top. I was hoping for one of those gooey hot sandwiches, but ended with a dry and mediocre lunch.
