A look at pizzerias in Atlanta, Georgia
O4W Pizza
This Jersey-style pizza joint has already gained quite the reputation in the Atlanta pizza scene since opening in January. Owner Anthony Spina keeps his menu simple, traditional and nearly everything made from scratch, including sausage and hand-pulled mozzarella. O4W’s grandma pie has become a superstar and makes up 60 percent of the shop’s sales. The thin-crust square pizza features garlic, marinara, fresh mozz, EVOO, pecorino and fresh basil ($3.75 for a slice or $23 for a whole pie). O4W offers a handful of rolls and heros including a chef’s choice vegan sandwich with ingredients that change daily.
