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.

Reviews

Varasano's Pizzeria continues to prove why it's considered one of Atlanta's premier pizza destinations. The pizzas feature an incredibly flavorful, thin crust with outstanding, high-quality ingredients that really shine. Our party of four ordered three pizzas—the Pancetta Garlic, Bufala & Copa, and Caramelized Onion.

Dropped by early Saturday evening. It’s seat yourself so I made my way to the pizza oven bar in the back and took a seat. Ryan was back there making pies. He’s a great conversationalist. I enjoyed his company while I dined. Kristen handled my order. It was my first time and I wasn’t sure what to eat. She asked me what
