Vero Pizzeria — Restaurant in Brookhaven

I used to travel a lot and I tested two things in every city I ever went to: Caesar salads and pizza.

As a result, I've had some of the best that NY, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Miami, Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Denver offer.

I would put Vero up there with the best of anything I have ever had. The dough is light, has a gently crisp and char, and the sauce is ethereal, offering the right amount of flavor and not overpowering the pie, which I have seen other "good" pizza places do.

The toppings are all fresh and taste of extreme quality. I've had the Margarita and the Funghi and both were exceptional in their quality and flavor. In fact, I would put this up against ANY pizza in Atlanta and many in NYC and Chicago.

It reminds me a lot of another favorite pizza of mine, Co. in NYC which is made by a baker and exceptional as well. Make no mistake, Vero can hang with the best of them.

If I'm going to rate Vero on a 1-10 scale (ala, Dave Portnoy), I would give this pizza a 9.3. Worth driving for, worth taking visiting friends to, and worth putting on a list of "must-try's' when within a twenty-mile radius or visiting the area. Trust me, you will not be...

On a recent visit to Atlanta a couple of us decided to go out for pizza.

Vero Pizzeria was clean and the atmosphere was casual. We were seated on the side of the restaurant with the brick oven and we could see the pizzas being made.

I ordered a margherita pizza. Usually this has herbs such as basil scattered throughout, sometimes fresh tomatoes along with the herbs. This version was actually simply a cheese pizza with 3 basil leaves artfully placed in the middle. I dont really care about the art. The bites I had at the ends of the pizza slices were good and I enjoyed the few bites with basil. The crust was very good, by the way. The cheese pizza was a decent basic cheese pizza...but I didn't order that. A friend ordered a pizza that involved honey drizzled over, which...

It’s a small place with indoor and outdoor sitting. Complementary valet parking. No other parking options. This place is a pizza place but the pizza is an average quality pizza. 6 slice pizza will cost you around $25 if you go with extra toppings. Bit pricey and you will not get what you pay for. If you go with their menu pizza then you will feel like eating just the dough so need more topping. One topping can cost you up to 4 bucks. After paying extra for topping I got one olive piece per slice. Which is not worth spending. Open kitchen so it’s pretty loud inside and outside traffic noise. So I cannot say that nice ambience. Friendly staff though. I would not return back...
