What People Say

On TripAdvisor and OpenTable, diners highlight the authentic flavors, generous portions, and friendly staff. The pizza is often praised as "some of the best in Atlanta," with a thin, crispy crust and fresh toppings. Many mention the quick turnaround time for orders, making it an ideal stop before a show. The casual vibe and clean, modern interior also earn consistent nods from reviewers looking for a low-key but satisfying dining experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking can be a bit tight during peak hours, and while the menu is solid, it leans more classic than adventurous—so don’t expect cutting-edge culinary twists. It’s also not the best spot if you’re after a full bar or craft cocktail list, as the drink selection is more limited.

If you’re looking for a reliable, tasty, and relaxed Italian meal before your concert, Sunnyside Pizzeria hits all the right notes.
