Five top pizza places in Atlanta

Max's Coal Oven Pizzeria: Sausage and goat cheese pizza

The newest restaurant from the folks at Concentrics (think Piebar, Tap and ONE Midtown Kitchen), Max’s Coal Oven Pizzeria makes authentic New York-style pizzas in Atlanta’s only coal-burning oven. Next to Stats downtown, Max’s is housed in a historic brick building and decorated with black and white photos of—where else?—New York City! Born and raised in the area, Executive Chef Nick Oltarsh uses his mother’s secret family recipes to create fresh pies like the Bianca and the Margharita.—Carly Felton, Special to Metromix
