OK Pizza, Below Average Service

by Chris1978 at Citysearch

Pizza is OK. Beer Selection is good, but overpriced. Counter staff can't seem to split tabs. i.e. two friends go to Elwoods and get a pitcher and a pizza. Two friends want the total split. "Um, we can't split the tab, you have to pay for it with one card". The manager was rude after requesting a discussion. The owners should re-evaluate the staff if they plan on repeat customers. Repeat LOCAL customers from Brookhaven and Buckhead will go away.

I know pizza!

by phillypeach at Citysearch

I live on Ashford Dunwoody--and have access to several pizza parlors within 5 miles of my condo. Napoli, Corner Pizza, Athens, Il Forno, Mellow Mushroom, Ray's, Pizza Hut (gasp), Papa John's, Neighborhood, etc.

I will pass all of these--even if I'm on the other side of town--and go get my usual at Elwood's. Listen, I'm from Philly. Born and raised in a city obsessed with great food--especially Italian. Back home, you don't order the franchise type pizza. On every corner are mom and pop/family-owned joints that proudly display their heritage and motto of being "the best in the neighborhood".

Let me tell you, coming from that level of deliciousness down here and finding Elwood's has been awesome. Elwood's is the REAL NY/Philly style and I won't order from anywhere else. I have never had a bad experience with the staff and I've never waited more than 15 minutes...even on a Saturday night.

The only thing that would make this my one stop shop is if they sold cheesesteaks and hoagies, and top notch wings. Although, Jerry's is next door and their hoagies and steaks are killer...fugettabouit!!! Otherwise, Elwood's, you are truly the bomb!! Gotta go, they close at 9pm tonight and I need my weekly fix!

• Pros: Pizza is on point
• Cons: no wings, hoagies or cheesesteaks

Pizza Not So Great

by Haimster at Citysearch

I've been here a few times. The first time I thought the pizza was quite good.

I brought my wife the next time and they gave her a horrible slice with raw onions all over it.

I figured that was a fluke and tried them again. On my last trip they were using fake cheese on their pizza.

I was more than a little unhappy, and I've never been back.

• Pros: Slice are cheap, and the restaurant is nice.
• Cons: Pizza has gone downhill, not recommended.
