"It's a rare congruence at Antico, one of Atlanta's staple pizza joints, to sit elbow-to-elbow with locals of all ages over fantastic pizza with a chewy crust. There's an effortless ease here - you preorder quickly (there's no patience for indecisiveness), grab your ticket, and head to the cafeteria-style dining room where the pizza is brought to you. Choose between red and white sauce pizzas; the San Gennaro ($24) with sausage, sweet red peppers, buffalo mozzarella, and caramelized cipollini onions is arguably the best."
"People talk to each other here, and if you're nice enough, they will share their wine. The couple beside us at the communal tables poured an Italian red wine they'd brought into plastic cups, clinking them soundlessly over their mushroom pizza. We did the same, pouring a Franciacorta rosé I'd marked "Pizza Wine." Football (the European kind) played on one of the TVs as heat emanated from the open kitchen. Cheesy "That's Amore " blasted from the speakers."
Antico delivers casual, communal pizza dining with a chewy-crusted, cafeteria-style service model where customers preorder, grab a ticket, and are served at shared tables. The menu offers red and white sauce options, with the San Gennaro — sausage, sweet red peppers, buffalo mozzarella, and caramelized cipollini onions — singled out as a top choice. The restaurant encourages guests to bring their own wine and fosters friendly exchanges among diners. An open kitchen, TVs, and nostalgic music create lively atmosphere. Gio's next door serves pistachio gelato and tiramisu, completing a West Midtown Italian experience.
