Their New York style pizzas are excellent – even if you opt to go with a classic slice of pepperoni. Once you’ve tried that, come back and pick a calzone to top off with everything from meatballs, fresh spinach, or Italian sausage, or even a monster sized Greek salad. Fellini’s Pizza excels in its portion sizes and fair prices, so be sure to indulge.

Custom pizzas accompany traditional classics such as the Parma (mozzarella, grape tomatoes, arugula, prosciutto, served atop a thin crust). Ribalta serves authentic, carefully cooked pasta plates such as spaghetti and gnocchi, as well.

Defying any stereotypes associated with the classic pizza parlor, Savage Pizza is a great fit for its Little Five Points location. Try the ‘sav-veg,’ complete with whole-wheat crust, garlic tomato sauce, mushrooms, broccoli, yellow onion, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, and more.

Try ‘the admiral,’ which comes with rich tomato sauce, pepperoni, cured Spanish chorizo, and arugula. The ‘don-a-tello’ is another tantalizing choice, with roasted garlic adagio cream sauce and black truffle pancetta that is to die for. Don’t miss out on Argosy even if you can’t make the drive – the versatile gastropub delivers!
