Manny's Pizza — Restaurant in Dalton

Manny’s Pizza is nothing short of a revelation. The first time I tried their Buffalo Chicken pizza, I didn’t just have a meal—I had an experience. It all started when I was hanging out with a friend who casually ordered it, and I wasn’t expecting much. You know, sometimes the hype doesn’t match the actual taste. But from the very first bite, I was hooked. The crust was perfectly crispy, the tangy buffalo sauce was just the right amount of heat, and the chicken was tender, generously layered on top like a buffalo dream come true. It was a flavor bomb.

Ever since that first taste, I’ve been addicted. Every time I go to Manny’s, I can’t bring myself to order anything else. The Buffalo Chicken pizza has officially ruined all other pizzas for me. Other places just don't measure up to the balance of flavors Manny’s has perfected.

What really sets Manny’s apart from other pizzerias is the quality and consistency. You walk in, and it’s clear they don’t cut corners. The ingredients are fresh, and the pizza is always made to order. Whether you’re grabbing a slice for lunch or bringing a whole pie home for dinner, Manny’s hits the spot every time.

But the real beauty of this place lies in its atmosphere. It's the kind of cozy, low-key spot where you can sit down, have a laugh, and just enjoy an honest-to-goodness, mouthwatering pizza. And that Buffalo Chicken pizza? It's no longer just a food item; it’s a craving I can’t shake.

If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor: get the Buffalo Chicken pizza. You’ll know exactly...

A few caveats for those reading this review:

1. I arrived right before closing and the owner was very nice and very accommodating
2. I did NOT order pizza, which should be their specialty

As much as this pains me to say because the owner was great customer service-wise, the food was just OK. We'd been driving around, exploring the area and had a craving for fried food.

Nothing was fresh. It seemed like all the items were bought frozen and tossed into the fryer. I know this is pretty normal, but nothing else was done to the food to make it their own. No spices on the fries or onion rings; just fry and put on the plate. I guess I was expecting something unique to make their food stand out, some sort of thought into what spices may complement potatoes, for example. Jalapeño poppers may as well have been from the grocery store (which would've been a lot cheaper).

The thought of a small place in a small town, home-cooked, been in business for 10+ years, maybe with a touch of their heritage... all that was exciting. Unfortunately, there was...

There are some things that make Manny's really enticing -- like the quiet atmosphere, dining on the covered outside porch, the really fresh and crisp salads, and the very friendly and accommodating service. But the main thing we hoped for was exceptional pizza, and that just didn't happen for us. Yes, the pizza is okay, especially when it's fresh, but after we took some home we realized just how ho-hum the toppings, cheese, sauce, and crust really are. It's just not as good as many other pie joints in the area. If we want to snag a nice fresh salad, this would be our go-to for sure. But the pizza just isn't compelling or...
