About

Varasano's is one of the most celebrated pizzerias in America. We use only all natural ingredients and are one of the few pizzerias in the U.S. that make dough the old fashioned way, using only natural sourdough yeasts, fermented for several days.

Buckhead resident and world-renowned pizza authority, Jeff Varasano, opened his first pizzeria in Atlanta in March 2009. Originally from the Bronx, Varasano moved to Atlanta in 1998 and soon realized the style of pizza he was accustomed to was not to be found in the Atlanta area. His ten year odyssey included traveling to the world's best pizzerias, experimenting with countless varieties of flour, sourdough cultures, cheese, tomatoes and temperature control techniques. His journey resulted in the creation of Varasano's Pizza, each airy light creation topped with a perfect balance of traditional Italian ingredients and crisped to perfection at 800 degrees.

I tried the pizza at Varasano’s and thought it was pretty good overall. I liked the thin crust, and the toppings were solid. My only issue was the size — the pizza felt a little small for the price. I also ordered the meatballs. They come in orders of two or four, and I got the two. They tasted good, but the meatballs

Slice of Heaven experience was INCREDIBLE. The owner Jeff Varasano makes you pizza, after pizza, after pizza. All unique and delicious in their own way. Exquisite choice of cheeses and balanced flavors. My favorites were the caramelized onion with Capicola, the caper and olive, the prosciutto with garlic oil, and the

The pizzas were definitely the highlight! We tried Nana’s and Margherita as a half-and-half, and we loved both flavors. The garlic bites were good as well. The only issue we noticed was the fruit flies, which were a little distracting while dining. Apart from that, we enjoyed our visit and would love to come back.
