75 Best Restaurants in Atlanta
Trying a new place where a beloved Little Five Points ice cream counter once stood stirs nostalgia. There is comfort, though, in seeing the Zesto's mural intact on the wall by the parking lot. But restaurant life goes on, and now the draw is pizza, specifically plant-based pies. They're served in an open room with a bohemian, industrial vibe—exposed brick, aqua paint, cement floors, cherry-stained wood, and high ceilings. Choose from half a dozen specialty pizzas and a few seasonal salads. The fresh pizza dough (made using organic, non-GMO flour) produces a light, golden-brown crust with toasty bubbles along the rim, and a sweet and tasty blend of vegan mozzarella and cheddar ups the flavor. The standout pizza is the Messicano, with spicy vegan sausage, peppers, roasted corn, onion, garlic, and ginger for extra kick.

The verdict on 3 new Atlanta restaurants: Pure Quill Superette, Pizza Verdura Sincera, and Casa Balam
I walked into Pure Quill Superette at God’s appointed time for a deli: noon on a Saturday. Located on Memorial Drive in Edgewood, Pure Quill is the concoction of Hudson Rouse, the chef at Whoopsie’s and Rising Son. Rouse took over the spot that was formerly the Chop Shop and used the space, once a tire store, to open his neighborhood market. It’s a family business for Rouse: His grandparents ran a small supermarket in West Virginia for six decades.
