Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got this email with some Hotlanta pizza intel. Interestingly, its subject line was "New Atlanta pizza freakout." --The Mgmt.

Antico Pizza Napoletana - whole pie

Adam,
I went to Fritti in Atlanta last night, the mainstay which was the only VPN pizza place in town, and also has a new pizzaiolo since Enrico Liberata left. The pizza at Fritti was excellent—tangy, wonderful sauce, not soggy in the center (had been a problem), wonderful light, puffy, flavorful, and well charred crust.
No sooner had I come home from dinner, I look on the internets and see that Enrico has become new pizzaiolo at a place that has totally flown under the radar: Antico Pizza Napoletana (http://blissfulglutton.blogspot.com/2009/09/first-impression-antico-pizza.html).
Jen from Blissful Glutton knows her pizza. This kind of rec is going to send people to this place en masse.

I would like a slice. On second thought, give me the whole thing.

Went yesterday...I'll vouch for it. The pies are bigger than your usual Naples job as well...

That looks like one damn fine pie.

WHY did I leave Atlanta again? Varasano's, Fritti, and that beautiful pie... groan.
