Best Pizza in Atlanta
Provided by Citysearch
This is seriously the best pizza in Atlanta. The funghi di bosco with truffle oil is amazing. Plus today you can get half off with the deal from SweetPons

Nice ambience, good food

Came here in the late spring and the doors were open, fresh breeze flowing in, and it was a beautiful ambiance. The menu is primarily wood pizzas that were pretty good. Nice wine list.

Best Brickoven Pizza in the ATL
Provided by Citysearch
I'm from NJ, and I haven't found a place here that does try Italian brickoven pizza's, until I came here. The pizza was incredible and reminded me of being at home. The service was good, but the reason I'm coming back is for the food, great job!!

it was good
Provided by Citysearch
My friend and I visited this place to have a meal, but we were not really satisfied with the quality of food. It was ok but not what we expected. It seemed that we were expecting a lot from this restaurant. However, the service was great and the staff was very nice to us. Overall, it was good but certainly not the best we've been to.

lackluster food
Provided by Citysearch
We thought the food here was good based on the number of reviews from both Citysearch and Yelp, but I found my experience lacking. The calamari wasn't crunchy, the pizzas were soggy, and the service wasn't good either.

Overrated at best...
Provided by Citysearch
I had heard so much about Fritti, and I was very excited to check it out last night. We started with Bruschetta which was very good tasting, though I felt $9 was a little ambitious for the presentation. It looked like it was made fast, uneven pieces, and no garnish made the presentation lackluster. In its defense the flavor was very good. Next came the pizza... I ordered a quattro formaggi because a cheeze pizza will tell you everything about a pizzeria in my opinion. You should not need fancy ingredients to make it taste good.. First impression in one word : OVERRATED. The pizza was totally wet and soggy in the middle.. almost slimy.. It is the kind of pie that just falls limp when you pick it up.. the crust in the middle is more like a skin of some sort. ""Crust"" is a bad word to describe it. Granted, the edges were crusty, and the best part of the dough for sure, and the cheese was very good. So I ended up scraping the cheese toward the edge and removing the very center of the slices... The feeling was mutual with the 2 other pies we got. (Veggie, and Frutti de Mare) The waiter never asked how it was, or I would have told him... My guess is this place was probably good at one time when it was new and popular.. now it seems to have rested on its trendy laurels and fancy ingredients to carry the weight.. Bottom line... I will not return... I know pizza and this by no means impressed me whatsoever... Next week we are off to Verasanos, then Antico, to see how they compare... Bon Appetit !

Fritti wins the take out war.
Provided by Citysearch
It's been an interesting year or so with the ""pizza war"" in Atlanta. And among the top 3 sparring spots, (Varasano's, Fritti, Antico) Fritti absolutely wins in one category: Take home. While they are absolutely delish when eaten in-house, if you take home a margarita pie from either of the other two, by the time you get to your destination the pizza is a soggy mess. I'm unsure how Fritti does it, but their standard marg pizza carries quite well. It tastes virtually the same at home as it does at the restaurant, with big blobs of bufala mozzarella and the appropriate amount of basil (unlike Antico, which skims on the basil). I have a tough time giving the nod to which pizza is officially ""the best"" but Fritti is the take out champ.

Great Pizza and More in Inman Park
Provided by Citysearch
Sitting next door to its higher-brow, more refined brother (Sotto Sotto), Fritti (Italian for ""fried"") is a slick pizza joint focusing on certified Neapolitan pizzas. Importing the gooey, fresh mozzarella and melt-in-your-mouth salamis direct from Italy, the thin, lightly charred pizzas are only part of the menu. Fried risotto balls are a must, though the combination of the crunchy/chewy calamari won't let you down either. During the warmer months, be sure to request patio seating. The sunken bar to the right, upon entrance, is perfect for a low key meal or Peroni after work.

Forgettable food that's not worth the price
Provided by Citysearch
I had read lots of glowing reviews on Yelp and CItysearch about Fritti, so thought we'd try it. When we arrived at the valet parking we were getting out of our car as Richard Blais (from Top Chef fame) was getting his car. He had just eaten at Fritti and said it was good, so I was sure our choice was correct. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We used Open Table to book our reservation, and they seated us within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, we got our table upstairs (you have to go past the restrooms and up a narrow stair) and near the air return vents. It would get warm from the ovens, then cool down when the air came on, and then warm again. This cycle happened repeatedly while we were there. Although the wait staff was pleasant and prompt, the food left a lot to be desired. We chose the calamari as it smelled wonderful, but it lacked depth of flavor. Our ceasar salads were average at best. I asked for anchovies and that actually improved mine quite a bit. As for the pizza, it was crispy on the edges and runny with a soggy crust in the middle. The toppings were scattered in clumps, so each piece we took had a differernt flavor. Overall, although the atmosphere would be fun (if we had sat downstairs), the flavorless food and fairly high prices make this a restaurant I don't need to visit again.

too expensive with so so taste
Provided by Citysearch
We had dinner at sotto sotto, it was expensive, but worth it, so we chose Fritti this time. We ordered spicy tuna as appetizer and salmon as main course, i am very small appetite person and was not hungery at all. However, their portion still suprised me---it is too small!!! Tuna appetizer is 9 dollars, but only have 4 to 5 slices of paper thin tuna, just looked like 2 slices of bacon; the salmon is 19 dollars or even more, has only a small slice, just looked like 3 fingers wide. To full our stomach, we had to order a pizza, and we found all other customers there ordered pizza only (may be they had already known that nothing at fritti is large enough as food except pizza), but pizza also tastes so so.

absolute worthless waitress here!
Provided by Citysearch
Well, we had lunch here and it was a disaster, the blonde waitress here on Novemember 3, 2009 at about 1:30 pm, on the outside was worthless! I don't know if it was because she was blonde or just....I don't know. But she manage to get both me and my wife's order all wrong, then wanted to tell us that she brought out what we ordered! I just don't know why she did not write any of it down?? what a ditz! We won't return UNLESS we hand her what we want, written down by US!

Gone seriously downhill
Provided by Citysearch
Last time I was here there was an Italian guy directing the kitchen - the pizza was superb. This time (three days ago) he wasn't there and the food was bad, yes, bad. Three miniature scraps of overpriced bruschetta followed by pizza wallowing in soggy tomato sauce. Only one pizza out of the four we had was adequate - the rest were overpriced and under-flavored. And they are not cheap. Reading through the other reviews this place has gone hot and cold over the years. It's really really cold right now, go somewhere else.

I am not a pizza fan, BUT...!
Provided by Citysearch
I am truly NOT a pizza fan; someone posted about being from New Haven, and how their pizza's the best? Not so. Lived there over ten years. (""apizza?"" please.) Brooklyn has better street corner pizza shops... However, I digress. We were looking for some place different. We decided to try Fritti. I opted for the Bianca (white, sauceless) pizza, as I am leery about red sauce that is not cooked by me or my mom..;-). After about 10 min, we were served....it was WONDERFUL. Truly. Service? eh. Waitress waited until we were just about done to ask if everything was fine (it was, but my husband, who managed a large restaurant years ago, noticed that she didn't check back soon enough.) We still left a great tip. We had a slight wait-it was 10 pm on a Friday. Were offered a seat in the lower, uncovered patio, but declined, as people were smoking, and it was really obvious. We were glad we did-five minutes after we were seated, the sky opened up-thunder, lightning-the works! We are definitely planning a trip back,and I am bringing visiting friends there for part of a fun night out.

Service is So So, Food Makes up for it
Provided by Citysearch
Call me crazy, but pizza has never been one of my favorite foods. However, Fritti has some of the best I have had in Atlanta. Fritti does not have the most comfortable seating areas but it has an overall fun and hip vibe, and they play great music, in fact my boyfriend wanted to stay there and hang out rather than go to any other bar/club. The hostess was wonderful and catered to our needs (she switched tables for us and also gave us a new server since the one we were supposed to have never greeted us after sitting at the table for fifteen minutes). Other than that mishap, dinner was great. We love to try calamari everywhere we go to find the best. The calamari here was sub par, to be quite honest it is no better than calamari at every other Italian restaurant including the Olive Garden. I would suggest serving it with a creamier, aioli rather than the generic marinara sauce, which really tasted like some canned Ragu. Anyhow, on a great note, the Manzo, or Grilled Beef Tenderloin and Rosemary appetizer was wonderful. The beef was cooked perfectly and not over done. It was crusted in parmesean cheese and served on a bed of arugula, vinaigrette, and cheese. I would also strongly recommend the Maialona pizza. It comes with salame, cotto ham, sausage, pancetta, black olives. It is delicious. They separate all of the meats so you can get a taste of each. The sausage was creamy and rich, my favorite of the ingredients. If you like seafood, the Fritti Di Mare is good. It contains calamari, mussels, shrimp, and scallops. However, it is cheese less so if you want cheese you must pay an extra $2. I would definetly suggest Fritti if you want a night out and are tired of eating the same old stuff, i.e. pizza. We had been to Piebar many times (my significant other LOVES pizza, all kinds) and do not miss it one bit.

Food was ok, but strange situation when we paid our bill
Provided by Citysearch
I have never written a review for any restaurant in my life, but in this case I think it is necessary. \r \r Overall my experience at Fritti was ok. The only problem was our waitress who seemed like she may have been on another planet. Her knowledge of the beers was limited and she seemed irritated with my table of 4 when we asked questions. The disturbing part was that after we paid our bill with cash which totaled $163.00 (including a $27.00 tip mind you), we were approached by the manager outside at the valet parking who told us that our cash was short by $60.00. He asked if our experience was bad because we didn't leave enough money. I immediately told him that I am the one who paid the bill, and that I left $163.00 and that he may want to check with our waitress. \r \r The strange part was that after she took our money, we sat at our table finishing our beers for at least another 25 minutes. Why didn't he (or the waitress for that matter) approach us while we were sitting there? Why wait as we were about to get into our car? I try not to be one of a conspiracy theory, but it just seems a little strange to me. Almost like it was planned, so maybe someone could make a little extra money that evening???? \r \r I won't be back, and I plan to tell everyone I know about the money disappearance situation because that seems sketchy to me.

Loud, Energetic Swanky Pizza...Joint.
Provided by Citysearch
My date and I went on Friday night around 7:30. The food was great quality and flavorful, although I would not recommend to someone looking for a typical pizza joint. The toppings are gourmet and topped with fine cheeses on a Napolenta style crust i.e. tender, limp thin pie with crispy outer ring crust. The seating was crowded and very ""social"" as you will be sitting 16"" from a stanger with your back against a lit brick wall with continuous booth/bench style seating. The lighting, colors, and finishes are romantic and warm, althought the noise level and aforementioned privacy issues seem to stand in the way. The easedropping is easy because you have to talk loud even at a 2-person table and you have about 20 people within a 10 foot radius. I give it a kid friendly check as there were many there although you couldn't hear the crying and screaming over the already omnipotent sound level. The service was outstanding and the wine list was ample yet ordinary. The prices are good for the food quality, understanding that as it pertains to quantity. We ordered a single pie (11"") to share and the bruschetta appetizer (3 pcs.) with a single bottle of $32 chianti and our bill was $56.00 before tip. This was enough for us but some may want to add another $13.00 pie to that for larger appetites.

Best Lamb Ever!
Provided by Citysearch
I recently dined at Fritti. Myself and 2 friends went on a Saturday evening, there was a 10 minute wait but we ordered cocktails that were VERY strong! They were great! We ordered the calamari and lamb to start, both were amazing. The calamari was crunchy, not chewy.The lamb was cooked to perfection. We ordered a pizza with 3 types of meat, it was OKAY. Kind of plain, I guess that was the point. I wasn't that impressed with the pizza itself. The staff was great. Our server was very nice and helpful with understanding the menu. A manager even came by to check in on us. All around I would go back just for the appetizers and drinks.

Hubby and I just returned from Italy and Fritti is spot-on!
Provided by Citysearch
I have been meaning to review Fritti ever since we returned from Italy. It definitely is just like the upscale pizza places that we visited on our trip to Venice and Milan.\r \r I have to say, I found the prior review pretty funny! In fairness to the reviewer I don't know where one would go in Atlanta to get New Haven style ""Apizza"" but if you want Italian style Fritti is exactly how they do in Italy. We have been to Fritti twice in the 5 weeks since we returned, and while we are not getting to people watch in Italy (boo) we are getting to enjoy very authentic food.\r \r If you are homesick (or vacation-sick) for Italy definitely go here to reminisce.

Lousy, won't return
Provided by Citysearch
Just got back from Fritti as I was having a serious pizza jones, cannot express how disappointed I was. Had been here a few times before and the food has always been good however I will not be returning. I ordered a sausage and roasted pepper pizza and I knew I was in trouble when it showed up at my table within 5 minutes, it was a puddle of undercooked goo. The crust was barely darkened and the dough was white, awful. I told my waitress and she obligingly took it back and proceeded to tell me the ""head chef"" says that is how the make them. I grew up and lived in New Haven, Ct most of my life and have been schooled in the delights of Neapolitan apizza (Wooster St), this alleged chef should make a pilgrimage there and learn the fine art of apizza making, and yes in New Haven it's spelled Apizza.
