    Best pizza in town for a pizzeria! Lunch specials are AWESOME! I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. Great prices, service, and best of all....the food is Great! A place that I will visit frequently!

    Food - Delicious! This place has a lot of interesting specialty pizzas. It also has a Mexican menu too (that was surprising)! Italian and Mexican under one roof -- yesssss! I had the firecracker chicken pizza. It's legit! It's also spicy!! (I actually had them use the marinara, instead of the Buffalo sauce though). Prices - Reasonable Atmosphere - A bit outdated , but those "hole-in-the-wall" places always have the best food, right!? Service - Friendly :) Overall: I'd recommend it. I can't wait to try the fish tacos.

    Bottom line: Surprisingly good food, large portions, decent prices, broad menu, less-than-stellar ambiance. My son and I dropped in for dinner. The first thing that struck me was the stark florescent lighting, which made the place look like a pizza carry-out. I was honestly not expecting much. The menu is vast - tacos, subs, Italian fare, Greek salad, and even odd mixtures, like a "Mexican pie" that looked like a South-of-the-border lasagna. I had the baked ziti, with a Greek salad, and my son had the medium calzone. The salad was fresh, with greens, feta cheese, red onion, peperoncini, and olives, and the ziti portion was huge, with three large meatballs - and it was really pretty good. The sauce was a bit runny, like a marinara, and not thick and sweet, and the meatballs were pretty tasty - not over-seasoned, and tender. My son's pepperoni and onion calzone was more onion than pepperoni. He reported it was pretty good. The format is fast casual - order at the counter, take a number, and a server brings the food. Self-serve on the drinks. The big downside, though, was the atmosphere. Between the lighting and old vinyl booths, it looked like it was run on a shoestring budget. If the lighting were replaced by incandescent lamps it would make a huge difference. There is a fish place next door, and the contrast between it and Italian Pie is immediately obvious. Yelp check-in special - free glass of wine. Nice!

    My friend and I were in Lawrenceville so we decided to grab some pizza/pasta. I ordered a small pizza, he ordered baked zetti, and we split it 50/50. This turned out to be a great idea. The zetti was great, cheesy, saucey, and satisfied me 100%. The pizza was decent, kind of soggy, but overall not bad. Plenty of toppings and seasoning, they did a good job. The only thing that would have put this place over the top into the 5-star stratosphere would have been some bread and butter at the table. I know it's hard to ask from a place like this for lunch, but that would have done it for me. But overall it was a great experience.

    So, I saw the OTP newsletter about pizza and I had been craving it since the weekend - this place was number 1, my boyfriend was down so - we ended up here! The pizzeria is located on the edge of a shopping mall. This makes it convenient to enter from the surrounding streets depending on which area you're coming from. The restaurant is perfectly lit so you're able to see if they're open or not from the street. When you walk in, there are booths to the left and right of you and you pass a few tables as you walk to the counter. You get to the counter to order and there's a HUGE menu awaiting your arrival so you can order whatever you'd like. This place has everything! They have an array of tacos, pizza, pasta, wings, wine, beer and the list goes on and on. I decided to get what I know I like - sausage and extra cheese or meat lovers. I didn't realize the slices were so large so I ordered a regular meat lovers slice and a Sicilian slice w/ extra cheese and sausage. Once you order, you'll get a number and they will bring the pizza out to your table. On the table they have crushed red pepper, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Being from Jersey, I had to bump the rating down from 5 to 4 stars because they didn't have garlic powder on the table. There are 3 big tvs in the dining area for your viewing pleasure. In the direction I was facing I was able to watch ET (Entertainment Tonight) & in the direction of my boyfriend's view he was able to watch UFC's Ultimate Knockouts. Perfection! The pizza was pretty tasty! I loved how big the slices were. Nice and cheesy, fresh and hot! The meat lovers has sausage, ground beef, pepperoni & ham. The slice had just the right amount of cheese under all the different meet. Just delish! The Sicilian slice was nice and thick. The extra cheese was a nice touch! Not disappointed in the least. My boyfriend also got 2 slices and our dinner was about $13! (Sometimes, I can be a cheap date lol) It's fairly close to my house so I don't doubt that I will return.. sooner rather than later. Do yourself a favor and grab a slice if you're ever in the area!

    Italian Pie for me says Delicious! I have had several things on the menu and everything has been sooo good. From what I remember, a while back this location had pizza/italian on one side and Mexican food on the other. They have merged together and have become one FABULOUS place to eat! I came alone the first time. After that I bragged with some leftovers taken home to my family about how good everything was. Now they always want to come along with me! (I should have kept it a secret) My favorites are the pasta dishes (Alfredo :) it comes with a chilled glass of wine if you check in on yelp! I also really like the Italian sub, The Mexican pie with sour cream on the side add jalapenos and its a GO! The sicilian pizza is my families favorite, it's HUGE and we always have extra to take home. If your anywhere near Bethesda rd, and hwy 29 in Lawrenceville give them a try.

    Wow, this is place makes bad pizza! It's school cafeteria bad. One can buy frozen pizza that tastes better. This is no NY pizza! The cheese is like Dominos (yuck) and the crust was raw!

  • Paul C.

    First time there, so my review is based on both my wife and myself. I ordered the baked ziti and meatballs. Very very good. The meatballs were good, but not as great as mine (I'm Italian too), but good enough. My wife ordered the 3 tacos for $8.00. She loved the fish tacos but thought the Reuben taco was just ok, not great. Therefore, the not GREAT Reuben plus the not GREAT meatball makes this a 4 star place that day. PS I'm not sure if they still offer a free wine for pasta orders, but no one offered me one. The cashier was brand new so maybe she wasn't aware of this perk.....or maybe they have done away with it. I will be back, so I will ask on my own initiative.

    SERIOUSLY!? Why have I not gone here sooner. What the eff. This place is amazing! Look, I'm getting frustrated trying to explain how amazing this is. Don't make me find you and slap you. I ordered chicken Alfredo pasta to go. It comes with salad, garlic bread to go. The pasta, *does back flips, although cannot do a back flip* So good! Seriously, that good. Look if you don't believe me. Well I don't care. I love pasta, more then you. And pasta loves pasta, more then you. So have a seat. No really, try it. They have ton's of menu items too! But as far as the pasta *large serving! *very hot! *Not dry *Perfection

    We finally decided to try this place after leaving the gym. Pizza is the perfect food after a strenuous workout right? I digress. The place looks exciting enough on the outside with the decor to match on the inside as well. Very colorful. After entering and seeing every seat taken and a line at the counter, i thought " this is gonna be good". He ordered the Philly cheese steak and lemon pepper wings while I ordered a slice of veggie pizza to go. After paying, the cashier handed over a number, told us to take a seat and she would bring our food to us. I thought that was pretty cool that we didn't have to listen for a number to be yelled. Once the food arrived it smelled so good we had to take at least one bite before we left. Flavor galore in everything! My pizza slice was huge. The crust was thin and perfect. The veggies were fresh and still had a lite crisp to them which I greatly appreciated. The lemon pepper wings had the right amount of seasoning but could've been fried a little harder to my liking. They were perfect for him and he enjoyed them thoroughly. The Philly was tasty as well he didn't need to add or subtract anything from it. This place has the most extensive menu I've ever seen. We'll definitely be back to try other items particularly the eggplant parm. The condiments on out table could use a cleaning. I was reluctant to use them hence the reason for the 4 stars. Good food though.

    This place sucks!! I do not know why the reviews are good! I live locally so I thought I would give it a try. We order a small meat lovers pizza, and the dough is raw! We didn't complain, well because let's be real I don't want our food to be play with. The pizza was flavorless, had 5 large slices of ham, in general it was little meat. And we ordered dessert we got the 3 layer ice cream and it taste like it was frozen for a very long time. Please go to other places, wings stop, subway - any place is better than this. My friends agreed and won't come back.

    Being in from NYC, it is very difficult to find a GOOD pizza, however, we ran into this restaurant when it first open a few ears ago and still continue to come. The owner is very friendly, always take times to come out to your table to say hello (especially to his regulars) and ask if there is anything we need. This is the closest I can get to. NY-Pizza. Great food & great customer service!!!

  • M C.

    The best pizza! Meatball, basil, eggplant and tomatoes is my go-to combination. Great selection of toppings and what I would call a NY style crust with big slices. Friendly staff. Again, I love supporting locally owned businesses. Italian Pie is definitely one of my favs!

    Delicious and inexpensive! Came here on a whim, found the best Philly cheesesteaks in the area. Everything made fresh including the empanadas. We will be back with friends.

  • Gary B.

    Food: I have only eaten here once, I ordered the Philly steak and cheese with fried. The Philly was tasty and the fries were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's not food I would drive out of the way for, but if I'm in the area they would be one of my choices. Cost: Fair prices, no complaints. Dining Area: Standard booths, kinda small, but I didn't see anyone wanting to sit and unable to find a seat. Parking: Parking seemed a bit crowded, but if you're patient it shouldn't be a problem. Service: Service was the best part, the cashier was very friendly and professional. Answered all my questions with enthusiasm and did a wonderful job, bravo! Summary: This isn't a true italian restaurant, but the food is tasty and the service is spot on. I wouldn't make a special trip for their food, but if you're in the area you'll be satisfied with the meal.

    This place has a variety of Italian and Mexican food as well as Hotwings. I love the Lasagna and Pizza. They also have fruit drinks, wine and awesome desserts to choose from. I would recommend this place for anyone that wants some great food!

  • Khuram D.

    It was pretty decent pizza but it didn't really do anything special for me. I've had this same pizza at a million pizza places around Atlanta. I recommend adding a kick of seasoning to the sauce and cheese to stand out. Otherwise, a decent pizza, I would stop by if I was around the area again.

    This is better pizza than you are eating. Sauce is amazing, high quality ingredients. I moved away and I miss them. They opened a new one near me. Italian Pie is always there for me. It cost more than junk pizza, which I good because it should.

  • Alex C.

    Very good NY style thin sliced pizza. They sell by the slice! Which is hard to find around this area. They have a very crisp char, nice cheese and pizza sauce. Plenty of options on toppings. The pizza takes their time because they make sure the toppings and crust are good. Grade A food in a quaint little shop. Very good. They used to have a mexican pie next door but this italian pie was by far better.

  • Amanda D.

    I was hesitant on stopping by here, but glad I did! The slices of pizza are HUGE and the desserts are imported from Italy! Their gelato is 5 star! The pizza had a good amount of sauce.. Not too much and seemed quite perfect!

  • Emily S.

    A best friend of mine eats here regularly and he told me to check it out, so I finally did. I am SO glad that I made that decision! Italian Pie is a quaint little shop with some very tasty pizza. The cheese was piping hot and stretchy, as it should be. They also offer other food selections if you just aren't feeling up to pizza. But I highly recommend their pizza! It isn't anything like one of the local chain pizza joints; it's much more authentic than that! The authenticity is paralleled by the decor of the establishment. It could be described as a hole-in-the-wall with tons of diner-style character; perfect for locals who don't always have to go mainstream! Some will see this is a downside, but I think it just adds character and intimacy: the establishment is not big in any sense of the word. The tables are sometimes rather cramped if there are large groups present. That being said, this place is best for one or two close friends, nothing wrong with that, right? One other cool fact is that they offer vintage glass bottled drinks! I got a tall Coca Cola that tasted fantastic (drinking from glass bottles always makes the beverage taste better, to me!) I kept the cool bottle as a souvenir! I will definitely be back to Italian Pie in the future. Great little of-mainstream place to chill with friends on any night of the week!

    I order pizza from here about once a week. Occasionally I get the Philly cheesesteak or a pasta dish. All are very yummy! Wings are good too but order them extra crispy. Update to my previous post... they no longer deliver :(

  • Meredith T.

    This is our go-to pizza joint. Pizza is absolutely amazing and so well priced! The crust is thinner, but what makes it is the sauce!! Their sauce is FAB!! The calzones are great too! Beware- if you order a calzone and ask if you want the medium or large- no unless you are feeding a family of 8, order a medium! I thought I was really hungry and ordered a large. Fed me for 3 days!!!

    Today I didn't feel like eating a regular fast food restaurant. And since I'm strictly forcing myself not to eat any red meats or chicken.. my eating habits has been limited. So I looked into Yelp and the first review I saw for this place was Brian H's review. His review for this place seemed believable. My mom and I went here for lunch and I ordered a large half cheese and half veggie pie pizza ($17.89 price varies in what toppings you get). I ordered some Lemon Pepper - 6 pieces ($5.89) for my mom. She enjoyed it very much! She said it was very delicious! The size of one chicken wing was big but not huge (just right!). I'm usually not a fan of broccoli, but it was one of the toppings on the veggie pie. I decided to take a chance and eat it! Surprisingly, it wasn't bad at all. As a matter of fact, it was delicious! Veggie Pie - topped with mushroom, broccoli, garlic, cheese, peppers, onion and tomato Tiramisu- $3.25 I'm a dessert person.. as most of you might already know! And OMG.. I took Brian H's recommendation (on his review) and ordered the Tiramisu. It was out of this world! You must MUST try this! It's so moist and velvety!!! Loved it!! The only down-side to this whole new experience for me was that well.. my mom saw that one of the employees there (won't mention his name) wasn't wearing a glove when kneading the dough and he was one the phone as well. My overall experience here was "Yay! I'm a fan". I was going to rate this place 5 stars.. but after hearing that from my mom.. ew.. I just lost a bit of my appetite! Oh gross.. but eh.. I'll be back just because I love love love the TIramisu here!

    Took the fam here after reading the reviews. I'm from NYC and wifey is from the Chi. We are pizza experts to say the least. Pretty good, not ths best but I'd order from here again. Needs more cheese and sauce on the pizza for us tho.

  • Devon B.

    I grew up in NY, I know pizza. I ate pizza everyday for lunch in the summertime, couldn't help it. They're are a FEW places outside of NY that I can honestly say I truly enjoyed their pizza. This is one of them!!! Thin, cheesy slices (cheese is really good) not to oily or buttery, soft dough with good consistency. You really can't beat Italian Pie if your looking for good pizza, especially in Atlanta. The wings are always a good compliment to any slice. I recommend the Lemmon pepper....So glad I live in the area!!...lol

    I'm a pizza snob. Being a real New Yorker, we are picky about our pizza. But this place here is phenomenal. Great dough. Great flavor. Real taste. Their desserts are great. The frozen desserts come in a glass that you can reuse and keep. I have a few of them in my collection because they're so good. Every chance I get when I'm on that side of town, I grab a pie for my daughters. They love it. Can't go wrong.

    I really enjoyed this place. It's an Italian owned restaurant and you can definitively tell by the food. It was my first time there but my bf had been before since it's near his house. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. You make your own drinks at the soda fountain. They have a nice size menu with many options. I had a calzone and he had penne pasta with meatballs. This food was delicious! The family who owns it was in there with their kids eating, it was a holiday. They were nice and talked to the patrons and played with the kids. They also opened Mexican Pie (I think that's the name... or it's Taco Pie) directly next door.

  • Christopher W.

    Actually about Mexican Pie, the place adjoining Italian Pie. Went with three friends to dinner at Mexican Pie last weekend, and was quite impressed. The food was excellent... and the best cheese dip I have had in a restaurant EVER. Since I'm a vegetarian, they fixed a vegetarian chimichanga for me that wasn't on the menu, and it was delicious. The people working behind the counter (you order there) and on the floor were relaxed, friendly, and very kid-oriented. There were several Mexican families with small children eating there, and the environment was clean, pleasant, and family-friendly. Gotta go back!

  • Jeffery M.

    Great pizza....now starting to work my way throughout the rest of the menu! Crust is fresh New York style...sauce is made in house...prices are phenomenal. Five stars all around.Give this local place a try and forget the chains.

  • Andrew H.

    How the heck did I overlook this place so many times?! This pizza joint will totally catch you by surprise. They push tacos and whatnot and from what I can tell the owners are Italian, but still the pizza is good! Its pretty solid and their lunch specials are ridiculously good, 2 slices, 2 toppings, and a drink for only 5 dollars! It was pretty empty around 1 o' clock so you'll have the whole place to enjoy your pie. Get you some! Change from 4 to 5 stars cause my GF told me to. I'm not whipped. Promise. Edit: Its italian owned lol

    If you want different pizza from Pizza Hut and Pappa Johns then this is your place.Friendly service/workers.Owner or manger was friendly as well and made me and my girlfriend homemade garlic sauce which was delicious.Order a large pizza half with pineapple and ham and the other half with spinach,sun dried tomatoes,feta cheese,and pepperoni.Wasn't disappointed

  • Liv S.

    Overall, I would recommend this place. It's a very small and casual restaurant where you have to walk up to the counter to order your food and they bring it to you. The chips and salsa were very good and so was the pizza and fire cracker chicken tacos. The only reason why I gave it 3 stars is because the pizza made our stomachs turn, if you know what I mean!

  • Lucero G.

    We expected a lot from the 4.5 star pizza place but it really wasn't all that. We ordered The Italian pie pizza and it was soggy, had too much onion, and not much of pepperoni and sausage.. Barely any. The lemon pepper wings could have used a little more lemon pepper. The only thing that was semi ok was the desert but not that amazing either... And the service wasn't that great either there was people cutting the lie. Doubt that we'll be visiting there anytime soon.

  • Michelle M.

    I wanted to give this place 4 stars; but only because I was so frustrated with deciding which delicious item to order. How does one place mess with my tummy so well. Mexican and Italian and both done spectacularly! Enjoyed everything I ate and I haven't said that at restaurant let alone a small pizza joint in FOREVER. Try it you won't be sorry. The nacho supreme have fresh shrimp! A shrimp, chicken and beef .. Yes not or but all for under $10. I don't offer 5 stars easily but wow... Yelp reviews don't lie, thanks to all the reviews before me for pointing me to this little gem.

  • Jessica S.

    Seriously, skip the Italian Pie - Mexican Pie, the attached restaurant next door it WHERE IT'S AT. The street tacos at Mexican Pie are amazing - simple ingredients made fresh and combined into amazingly flavorful combinations. The teriyaki fish taco with pineapple and sliced red onions is making my mouth water just thinking back about it. Lamb tacos with potato and feta. Brisket with coleslaw. Chorizo. Fried chicken. There's over a dozen taco options and I've yet to have one I didn't enjoy. The namesake dish, the Original Mexican Pie, is kind of like a Mexican casserole. Layers of tortilla, meat, fresh veggies, and beans served with a tangy tomato sauce. It's really excellent and VERY filling - I made the mistake of ordering tacos with it thinking it was going to be a small portion and got three meals out of my order! They used to do a really excellent ceviche - not sure why it disappeared from the menu, but it was great.

  • Rani C.

    Little restaurant that everyone seems to know about. I just noticed that every time the door opened, it would be a different demographic of people coming in and that really impressed me. Young, old, white, black, Asians, Latinos, families, groups of teenagers, couples. I had to mention it b/c I don't see many places where EVERYONE goes there. But back to the pie. Yeah, it's damn good. There's something about the sauce. Not too much, very seasoned, cheese was good. When pizza came out, it wasn't this greasy mess but like oozing goodness instead. Thin crust, did I forget to mention that. Honestly, I thought I was in NYC. It's the kind of pizza I would expect to get from one of the many Johnny's pizzas up there. Very good. Don't miss out. Worth the drive.

  • Harry S.

    My whole family is willing to drive from Alpharetta to THIS resturant because the food is that good. I will say that real pizza has been getting better in GA this is the place to go. Fresh food, made while you wait, served right out of the oven. I wish I found it when we bought a house here is 2003. This is the place to eat NY pizza, calzone, and the entire menu will not disappoint. Tell them Harry from Alpharetta sent you. I should also mention that he caters as well, and makes the best Italian food you can get. And when you have a party and everybody says where did you get this great food most can then understand why I travel to Italian Pie to get it. I travel 21 miles to get there, and in rush hour it is an hour ride, but on my birthday that's where I want to eat. It is a must go when friends come to town. Do not get dressed up, it is come as you are type of place.

    This little restaurant is one of my favorite in town. Their pizzas, calzones, salads and tiramisu are down right delicious. Their staff is friendly and courteous.

    Small, personal eatery at the corner of Herrington and Lawrenceville Hwy. It's kind of in the middle of almost nowhere. First time, I ate in and got a large calzone (unlimited topping) and a 16" Italian Pie special. Order came to around $35 with tip. I was not impressed with the taste, although the size of the pizza astounded me when I first saw it. The calzone was quite bland despite my multitude of toppings. I believe the interior diminished my experience of the pizza. The second time, I mistook this place for another and got takeout pizza. Upon arriving at the place, I realized my mistake but nevertheless picked up the order. Unfortunately there was a short wait time despite arriving well past their estimated time. I think they put it in the oven when you get there so it's hot and ready? This time, I got a large Meat Lover's with a regular cannoli as dessert. Definitely filling, half of the large filled up two people. The cannoli was solid - at least the cream did not taste like icing. The total was around $24, which is average considering the amount and quality of the food. I'm big on flavor so will look elsewhere for my pizza needs, but I will share that they do not skimp on toppings. A thumbs up to the place for this.

  • Dave P.

    "Perfect, casual, affordable" are some of the adjectives my family used as we ate here for the first time. The pizza can be ordered by the slice. We love that because we can get exactly what we want. Thin crust, just the right amount of sauce. Really good! Order at the back counter, get your drink, then sit yourself at an open red and white check covered table. The back ground music ranges from classical jazz, to opera, to Tony Bennett. Speaking of drink, they offer something called Horchata, which is kind of like cinnamon flavored milk. Try it! My daughter loved it, I liked it, my wife did not like it. Oh! No light beer option on draft. That's weird. The three of us were completely satisfied, and we only spent $19.00. But then we went back to the counter and spent another $6.00 on Chocolate Cannoli and were Super Satisfied! We will be back FOR SURE!

  • Kristin K.

    This place was great. And that's coming from a pizza snob. The staff is friendly and actually seem eager to take your order. Seating works for either groups or if you're just popping in for a quick bite to eat by yourself. Wide variety of menu items that you can order large pies for a group or individual things. Everything is decently priced. I got a slice of salami and a slice of sausage, I believe. The salami was better than the sausage in my opinion. I have to say, if you want Italian pizza but don't want to spring for Antico, this place is worth the drive.

  • Andrew D.

    After reading the strong reviews and seeing it is so close to our place out here, I had to stop by. That said it was good, like 4-4.5 stars. Had a lunch special two, 2 topping slices with sausage and roasted pepper. Very large slices, great char and crisp in the crust. Sauce was good, cheese was OK. Toppings were NYC style, very thin cut sausage, and loads of roasted rad and green peppers. This with a drink for $4.50. Can't beat that! I showed the workers the yelp App as I do not think they had heard of yelp. This is a very well priced joint where pizza is good and reasonably priced. I also noted that draft beers at $1.50 here. I will be back again soon.

    Am I dreaming? Did I just have pizza almost as good as the pizza in my highly missed home state of CT? I can't believe after 15 years of hoping to find a suitable replacement to Connecticut pizza, I finally found one in GA! Mom, you can stop freezing and Fed Exing pizza from Domenick and Pia's! Keep sending me the Pepperoni and Sopressata though. P.s. All you clowns worshiping Antico's like it's the best thing since sliced bread, need to get bitch slapped with a slice from Italian Pie.

    The recent increase in prices pushes their menu into the realm of hurting business. $10 for a plate of spaghetti with sauce? Really? Large 1 item pizza is now over $16.00... For a no frills joint, the prices are a bit steep. I cannot help but believe this is an attempt to keep their apparently failing sister business afloat. I agree it is good pie, but their prices are ITP-ish for sure...

    Its a little bit of New York in Gwinnett. On any given day you can hear more NY accents than southern in this place. This is New York style pizza. Every time I go here to eat, I hear another "halfback" (NY'er left for Fla one day but, did not stay. Went back up north but stopped halfway (*Humor*)) brag about the authenticity of the pizza pies here. I certainly like them. The pie crust is cooked just right. It has a slight smokey charred flavor. The ingredients are always fresh and cooked just right. When you order a pepperoni pizza from here it tastes nothing like those OTHER places. There is so much flavor, and as the bread, tomato, meat, and spices mix together just remember to "chew your food slowly". The next thing that happens, is when you open your mouth to speak, people step back in amazement as you start squawking like a New Yorker. During my research at Italian Pie, I have discovered that that a Tiramasu dessert and a brew will cure you of the afore mentioned speech impediment (*Humor*). The Tiramisu is sooooo good. Always moist and has that burst of flavor to it. If your sweetie says that they would "just like a taste" of your Tiramasu, don't believe them. Just buy them one because, you will never get the container back. I know. I let my wife have "just a little taste" (you know what I mean) and it vanished before my very eyes. I had to go and order another one. Since I still had my NY accent from the awesome pizza pie, all the NY'ers understood me.(*Humor*) They have beer on tap or bottled. They have wine as well. Next time I come here I will drive my Vespa. 40/100

    Great pizza for a great price! The dough was fresh and had a smokey flavor. The sauce was very god and the toppings were fresh and had good flavor. Definitely better than fast food chain pizza. I will be back for more pie!

    Best pizza around Gwinnett. I hate thin crust, but this one is a must have! The philly's are great too. The wings are over-priced, so I don't know about those. They own Mexican Pie right next door too, which is not as good but still decent.

    We've gone here plenty of times. Its very close by and super cheap for really good food. I always get pineapple pizza. We went recently and the experience was awful. The two girls at the counter were talking loudly among each other. They stared rudely as I said "excuse me" and tried to order. I ordered my usual pineapple slice. My boyfriend got a lamb taco with feta cheese. We sat down and waited. Reasonable amount of time to wait. When the food arrived. we noticed right away ONE REALLY THICK SHORT BLACK HAIR. Okay, okay. No problem, we're not picky. Just picked it off and ignored it. He ate half of the taco to find ANOTHER HAIR, Okay, that's gross. But It's okay. Things like this happen. Maybe it shouldn't restaurants, but it does happen. He decided to dig through the taco before finishing. The was MORE HAIR. It deemed to have been mixed in throughout the feta cheese. We couldn't deal with it anymore. We just left in disgust.

    First time here and as MANY glowing Yelper's have stated, this is simply great Pizza; dough was fresh, cooked just right, and had a great smoky char flavor; the sauce was anything but bland and complimented the whole pie; the toppings we chose where fresh with flavor and yes, the mushrooms where canned but not of the cheap kind (the mushrooms are Italian style which means they are packed in a quality olive oil); the cheese they used simply melted into the mouth with a hearty flavor that yet again harmonized with the whole pie. Restaurant was very clean and has a very relaxed atmosphere, and the owner is not afraid to ask how his patrons enjoyed their order. A top Pizza Pie in my book and I will definitely return for more!

    Great pizza, better quality than the chains surrounding it, and fast, friendly service. We usually call ahead and pick up our order, but the dining room is fun (counter service). I get the Caprese Salad sometimes, love the simple combination of fresh mozz, fresh basil leaves, and Roma tomatoes on a bed of romaine with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic. Kids menu is helpful - personal pizzas and kid-sized calzones. They love their customers and work hard to earn your loyalty.

    Great place. Excellent crust on their pizza. I usually don't order wings at a pizza joint but I'm glad I did. You have to try there lemon pepper wings. THEY WERE AWESOME!!! If i would have put anything else in my mouth I would have needed a flat bed to get me out of there. I was stuffed.

  • Katherine M.

    A group from work and I regularly attend lunch at the Italian Pie, as I am now writing this on our lunch break. Heather S, with her review below, is another diner in our troupe. The best thing about this place is definitely the lunch specials--Two slices of pizza OR soup and a slice with a drink for under $8? Count me in. The creamy tomato basil soup is out of this world, and it's great see fresh basil growing outside of the front door of the restaurant. I usually go with a slice or two of pepperoni and feta, which always taste fresh and tasty, with a nice thin crust and HUGE slices. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and never seem to get impatient if a newcomer takes a minute to look over the menu. Service is also fast, making this our perfect lunch stop. We will be dining at iPie again today, and I can't wait for my pizza.

    If I lived in this area, I would use this as one of my places for a slice or pie along with Fini's, there may be other places up here, not sure. We had to go up to Assi Plaza so we took the detour to check out this place based on the strong reviews. We got a small pie and a caprese salad. The mozz on the caprese salad was very good actually, tasted homemade although when asked I was told it was not made in-house. What we found strange was it was sitting on top of a bed of iceberg. That is completely out of left field and not a good choice to complement the mozz. The pizza itself is promising, but not something I'd drive out of my way for. The positives is that they use Grande cheese, underskirt the crust had sprinkled char although it didn't translate into the taste, and had decent chew up until the end crust which was dried out. The negatives was the sauce. Bland. The crust was also bland, really no flavor even with the char. The end crust was dried out. Overall though, not a bad pie but should be reserved for locals only rather than driving out to this place.

    Don't let the outside or the workers discourage you. This place is great. The owner is Italian, but their workers are not. The pizza had great flavor and not greasy, the calzone was delicious, my daughter had the chicken crazy taco and said it was delicious. We will be back!!

  • Nicole M.

    I'm really surprised at all of the great reviews on this place. I ate here tonight based on the reviews and was sorely disappointed in the "restaurant" and my fellow Gwinnett yelpers. The only reason that I gave it two stars rather than one, the dough was better than that of your typical fast food/delivery pizza. That being said, the toppings were not. I ordered the Italian Pie Special and let's just say it was definitely "special", but not in a good way. The mushrooms were clearly straight from a can and although the dough had potential it unfortunately lacked due to becoming so soggy that by the second slice my pizza was a dripping mushy mess. If you want some good pizza, but aren't looking to drive all the way to Atlanta, then try Fini's, MUCH better "Italian Pies" in my opinion.

    Coming here on Friday nights has become a tradition. Fast, friendly service and delicious pizza! The rest of the food looks great, but I just get the pizza everytime! Rafaele the owner is great. He grows fresh herbs in front of the building and uses them in his recipes. Mexican Pie next door is awesome too!

  • Darleen V.

    Pretty average Italian food for Atlanta (which doesn't say much), quick service, nice owners, reasonable prices. They do have good calzones which have unlimited toppings for no extra charge. I don't think they deliver anymore, and double check your orders for carry out.

  • Patti B.

    OH MY GOODNESS! We picked this wonderful pizzeria as part of our own Diner's, Drive In's and Dive's tour. I have never found a pizza that was even close to Avanti's in Peoria, Ill. and I have been looking for over 30 years.' We had the meat lover's 16" and it was like a piece of heaven. The sauce has just enough bite to it, loaded with all types of meat, and the crust...... I never order a thin crust, but this was well worth it. The cheese was perfect. Everything on the menu is family priced, with everything from salads, pasta, appetizers, subs, and crowning jewel, the pizza which you can get thin or thick crusted. It was so much fun, we were treated like part of the family and the service was sincere and friendly. Instead of paying every year to have food Fed Ex'ed to the house, we will make the 30 minute drive to this one of a kind true family Italian home away from home! Thank you for a great and affordable date night!

    Soon after we first moved to the suburban foody hell that is Lawrenceville an independent pizza place opened up on highway 29, in between L'Ville and Lilburn, called Bulldog Pizza. Bulldog Pizza was a great place. Friendly owners, good food. After a while the quality started going downhill - I assume that they were trying to cut costs and keep the place open. Soon after I first noticed that, the place closed. Now, open in the exact same location is Italian Pie - a pretty good sequel to Bulldog's original idea. I'm guessing that the owner of Italian Pie came to some agreement with Bulldog's owner and bought all their assets because other than the sports pictures being replaced with NY Italian family pictures the rest of the place is exactly the same. And ya know what? That's not a bad thing. The pizza here tastes great. It's not Italian by any means, but it's a great example of Italian-American cuisine. The crust is thing and light, just the way I like it - the toppins are generous and the prices are the best part. A 16" pie is only $8.50 and the toppings are only a buck extra. The toppings come in great options that you won't find at the chains -- mortadella, garlic, salami, feta cheese, broccoli -- good stuff.

    Been here a couple of times...the inside has a real mom & pop feel to it. Their ingredients aren't of high quality, but the quantity they give you makes up for it. I went for lunch both times...and got their (less than) $5 lunch special. I actually had difficulty finishing their 2 big ass slices, oh and you can have up to 2 toppings, both slices gotta be the same topping! 2nd time i went i got a salad and a slice. Salad was bullshit, but 1 slice did the job for me. You get a fountain drink too. This joint is right next to a mexican restaurant, matter of fact they're connected from the inside. I think the wife runs the mexican restaurant and the husband runs the italian pie joint. So if your not full, grab some enchiladas. All i know is i handed them a $5 bill and they gave me back some loose change & 2 big ass pizza slices with 2 toppings and a soda. THATS A FRIGGIN DEAL! *I think the overall rating is inflated

  • Tony J.

    Oh my goodness!!! I hope this place never changes. This is some of the best pizza in Georgia. The workers are friendly and will explain everything except the meaning of life. Small intimate storefront that is like a small slice of Italy in Lawrenceville. It makes all of the other pizza joints taste mediocre. The variety of items and choices for customizing your pizza pie can be overwhelming, I would suggest ordering one of their specialties first. Beware the pan pizza will fill you up past full. First time there but the family and I will certainly return.

    I've been to Italian Pie 4-5 times for lunch now, and I continue to be impressed by them. The staff is very friendly, and likes to talk to you to make sure you're happy with your meal. They bring your food to the table, which I wasn't expecting in this tiny restaurant in an empty strip mall. The pizza is delicious, huge slices with a variety of toppings piled on. They offer feta cheese as a topping, which is a quick way straight to my heart. I've tried something different each time I've been, but feta and basil are my favorite toppings by far. The tomato soup is absolutely spectacular, and I have never been able to say that before about a creamy tomato soup. If you manage to go in when the restaurant is nearly empty, everything will be at 5 stars. They do seem to flounder a bit when they have more than 2-3 tables full in the restaurant, like they're just a bit overwhelmed. I definitely recommend that you try out Italian Pie if you're in the neighborhood.

    This is an honest casual Italian restaurant near Lilburn, an area where it's difficult to find a good eatery. I kid you not, Raffaele Lucci, the owner, (with real Italian accent straight from Naples) will make your feel like he is your Italian uncle. Excellent homemade sauces, friendly staff, this is a simple convenient storefront location will surprise you with quality food and service.

    We've been going to Cosmo's in downtown lawrenceville for "great" pizza, but Italian Pie has changed all of that. Hands down the best pizza that I have had in Atlanta. The crust is perfect, the toppings are plentiful, the sauce is just right and the cheese...man the cheese is like real cheese! It actually stretches when you take a bite like it is supposed to...like I remembered it did growing up. I can't add to what everyone else has said here, but I will agree, this place is simply the best pizza around. While your sitting eating or waiting, watch the kitchen staff. The owner is back there tossing the crust, kneading it, like he's done it his whole life. Notice, that unlike the chain restaurants he isn't back there weighing the cheese or toppings he is putting on. He seems hell bent on making the best tasting pizza, using top shelf ingredients, and not leaving the pizza sparse on toppings. The food is cheap too! We ordered two 12" pizzas, one specialty,one just pepperoni. We also ordered a greek salad (which was on a huge plate, and big enough for two people to share, for less then $6!), and we got out of there spending less then $24. Amazing! WORTH THE DRIVE...if you crave good pizza, get in your car and GO NOW!

    I live in Mexico City and come visit my family once a year here in Loganville. It's been a few years now since I had a chance to visit NYC for the pizza I love. The best pizza in Mexico is a far cry from that, so I've been looking for a place around here that even comes close. I went with Italian Pie this year based on the reviews I found here and the menu I found online, and I was not disappointed. More than that, I was blown away. My entire family was thrilled, including my picky 13-year-old nephews, who gobbled down slices with delighted abandon. We ordered a couple of great pies with toppings, but I flipped over a simple double cheese, low sauce pizza. I can still taste it in my mind. The cheese - top notch, sauce - fresh, savory and balanced, crust - just the right amount of crunch, perfectly fired. Ingredients and spices all tasted fresh. Nothing frozen. Even my mom's chicken Caesar salad (an incredible value) wowed. I wish I had room to try a Stromboli. I can't wait till next year. Prices are great, service friendly. Very family friendly. Bottom line -- outstanding!

  • Heather S.

    The pizza itself gets 3 stars. Pretty good. It has a thin crispy crust which I like in a slice. The reason for 4 stars is because of the price. I went at lunch with a bunch of people from work and they have a ridiculous lunch special which is 2 GIANT, NYC sized slices and a drink. No one who got the lunch special could finish it. It was a great deal. I wouldn't go out of the way for this, but if you happen to be in the area and want some cheap food, then this is a good option.

    My sister turned me on to this place. - Oh my holy deliciousness!!!! this is a true New York Pizzeria. Authentic all the way down to the uncomfortable red bench seats. It's not supposed to be pretty, or even comfortable, just darned good!!! The pizza is the best in town, and the anti-pasta is a must have. Bring a friend, and be prepared to pack a to-go box. My cheeks were actually hurting from smiling over the pizza in my mouth for so long.

    In my quest for decent pizza in the Atlanta area came across this place based on other Yelpers recommendation and was very impressed. A real great pie! They also sell Mexican Coke (Sugar Cane) in 500ml bottles which was an added bonus to wash everything down with.

    What can I say? Yelp comes through for me again! This is by far the best pizza I've had in Atlanta; the real deal, coming from a New Yorker. Last night I ordered 2 18" pizzas for only $25, which handly satisfied 7 hungry people. Loved the crust, cheese was sweet. Service was wonderful and the best part is, the location is less then 2 miles from my house!

  • M B.

    I agree, I am baffled by the amount of positive reviews. I am writing for the Mexican Pie adjoining part to Italian Pie. We decided to go in on a whim , instead of getting Chinese like we normally do. Boy , do I regret it and wish I could have my $55 back. First off, you have to go up front and get menus.. after that seat yourself, then you need to go with the menus to the counter and place an order. We ordered chicken fajitas, shrimp soup, a crazy taco and a torta., also a side verde enchilada.. we had a coke, fanta, horchata and a jamaica to drink. Then you proceed to sit back down and wait for your order. The server brought out chips and salsa, the drinks and a mango drink. I let her know that I ordered a jamaica instead of a mango drink, she said she heard mango and just set the drink down and walked away. I let it go.. we proceeded to wait for our food. The fajitas came out and looked like they were one of those packaged fajita dinners u can get at publix for $4, little pieces of chicken and lots of bell peppers and onions. The torta and fries looked ok, the crazy taco had water leaking out of it proceeding a broken taco and a big mess of stuff on a plate.. my soup was salty ,... no limes were given as suggested by the menu... my enchilada came out red instead of verde.. kinda gross.. they basically roll up a tortiall and put red sauce on it.. no cheeze or anything.. Server never came back to check on us, clear our plates, etc.. Her and the kitchen guy just stayed up at the counter and talked.. It was not the servers fault.. it is manangement. .. work needs to be implemented into this place.. lazyness= poor quality all around .. Huge disspointment.. we will never go back... Also.. we asked for a Jamaica drink to go.. we were told they did not have Jamaica ..

    I have to wonder if I am in the same universe with the other raters? I had such hope when this place opened - I live near it, it should be my neighborhood dive - it isn't. I have given it four chances and four times disappointed which shouldn't be for an Italian-born owner, who was previously a New Jersey resident, Italian restaurant. (And yes, I grew up within constant sight out my window of New Jersey) First and worst: the tomato gravy was absolutely totally bland, just canned tomato sauce. Would have been no stars on that. The Italian sausage was the kind that more resembles a pepperoni in consistency than a hand-made home-made sausage. The stromboli crust was hard and heavy. No delicacy to it at all. The cheese was of uneven consistency - some melted, some not. The antipasto was generous, but uninspired lettuce salad with piles of meat and cheese and a few peppers. That I liked enough to do again. They serve beer, but the atmosphere is sterile and brighter than a school classroom. Not a place where you would want to stay and eat, just a place to wait for your to-go order. I had wished for so much more from a place I could just slip out for a bite.

    Great simple pizza place. If you're in Lawrenceville area, this is the place you should go for pizza. Not sure if it's worth a drive from across town but certainly anywhere in the NE Atlanta suburbs. Lunch specials are stupid crazy, less than $5 after tax for two giant NYC size slices with two toppings and a drink. I can't get anything else whenever I go there so I got a large stromboli to go last time. Equally wonderful.

  • Holly M.

    I really love this place and though it is a good hour away from me during traffic, I still go there. I really don't claim to be a pizza expert, but it is the best pizza I have had this side of the Atlantic. If it was closer to me I would probably go there more. I always get a small salami pizza and garlic bread and I have never been disappointed the past 7 times I have visited this place. They also have very good subs, my favorite being the italian combo. The service staff is always friendly and helpful. I would note that you need to go up to the counter to order and then they will serve you at your table where ever you sit. I have seen many people come in and sit down without realizing you have to order at counter first then sit down. There is a mexican place that just opened next to it called "Mexican Pie", I haven't tried it yet but it is owned by the same people.

  • SD K.

    WOWSA! Antico was my favorite, until I tried Italian Pie. However, don't make the same mistake I did and order just a regular cheese pizza. The one to try here is the Margherita. Fresh basil, olive oil and mozzarella...you'll make When Harry Met Sally type noises while you're eating.

  • Caitlin B.

    I liked this place - it didn't live up to the expectations that I was hoping for BUT I still liked it. The prices are way below other places and the amount of food that you get is worth every cent. We had the large pepperoni with half pineapple and although insanely greasy, it was very good. We initially wanted to get the Sicilian but they were out so they gave us a large and cut it into squares for us. Next time we go back, hopefully they will have the Sicilian ready to make - all of their food looks amazingly delicious and we'll for sure be back.

    A very good pizza indeed. Having moved down here from the New Haven area in Connecticut I had resigned myself to the notion that I would only really be happy with pizza on my trips home. This place has changed that. The prices are good, the quality is good, and they cook the pizza properly. I spoke with the owner who is from the Naples, Italy area and he said most of his customers are from up north. The pizza was even great the next day. And the bottled beer selection is $2 for domestic and $3 for imports. Can't beat it.

    Fanfreakintastic! Been trying to find that authentic pizza taste and experience since I left my home state of CT. FINALLY here comes a pizza joint reminiscent of my childhood.

    After reading the reviews we had to try this restaurant out. Whole family agrees that the crust and cheese on the pizza were amazing. Grown ups were not impressed with the Greek salad-only iceberg lettuce and no croutons. Or the veggie pizza-canned mushrooms yuck. The staff was super nice. Cool Camaro out front! We will go back for a more basic pie and a pitcher of beer again.

    A really nice casual dining experience. We almost always order take out and the pizza was steaming hot when we left. We ordered a margarita pizza and it was awesome! One of my friends from up north said it was better than NYC pizza. The cheese has an overall buttery flavor to it and was very different than anything you can get in the metro area. To be honest the only thing missing from the experience was overlooking the streets around the Basilica St Pietro in Rome. The flavors were just like a real Italian lunch cafe. If you're in Gwinnett you need to check this place out.

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
