Daily Slice: Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria, Kennesaw, GA

Stopping by your neighborhood Fellini's for a late-night slice and a cold adult beverage with a gaggle of friends is a longstanding Atlanta tradition... but they're getting by on more than reputation alone.

Daily Slice: Sapori di Napoli, Decatur, Georgia

Every time I hit a patch of just-blackened char on the chewy crust, I was reminded how top-flight pizza boutiques like Sapori di Napoli are playing a sport that's completely different than most American pizzerias.

Daily Slice: Mellow Mushroom, Marietta, Georgia

The plain cheese was a decent enough starting point... but when I go back, I'll start working my way through some of the add-on toppings like basil cilantro, chorizo, avocado, and cayenne-candied bacon.

I strapped in for "The Mack," Diesel's "deluxe" pizza. The thin crust hints at the owners' New York–New Jersey roots, with just a smattering of marinara and mozzarella.
