Fellini's sometimes catches a bad wrap from the pizza elite in Atlanta. But that's really just because it's been around so long that just about everyone has had a Fellini's pizza phase or 2 in their life and they sometimes think they've grown out of it.

The truth is that Fellini's is an Atlanta institution, and they've been doing New York style pizza by the slice for as long as I can remember. Even though there are several locations, and their food is consistent from one to the next, they don't vibe like a chain.

There are few New York style pizza places that you can find in Atlanta that are as good or better than Fellini's, and even less that serve by the slice after lunch, and I think that's a little bit of the magic here.

Fellini's was the first place I ever went to order food at the counter and was handed some kind of doodad with a picture of Elvis or Scooby Doo on it to take to your table for someone on staff to find you, and bring you your food. A lot of people don't realize how unique that once was.

A menu highlight to me is their meat slice. I don't personally usually enjoy ham on pizza, and it didn't look particularly delicious the first time I ordered it, but the ham is absolutely delicious and tender. Very high quality ingredients and very well made food.

While you may have a favorite pizza spot in Atlanta of your own, Fellini's stands the test of time and remains a sure thing if you have a craving. Any time you're passing by their iconic sign and you're in the mood, don't hesitate to stop in, sit down and enjoy.
