The pizza was ok but better than the cardboard box franchises nearby. I went with 8 friends to Peickly Pear and we had the worst margaritas we'd ever tasted. We tried a few different kids but they were all pretty bad. The owners need to focus more on actually tasting their products and quality control instead of tweaking the concepts and wondering why nothing ever works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-2163658999098375572011-01-28T08:37:10.742-05:002011-01-28T08:37:10.742-05:00Prickly Pear was great when it first opened.

Judging from these comments and the comments left here ( http://www.tonetoatl.com/2009/05/prickly-pear-taqueria-soon-to-fix_3673.html ), I'm amazed they have stayed open as long as they have.Atlantan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06115362060612910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-68136931886998337742011-01-27T12:16:02.578-05:002011-01-27T12:16:02.578-05:00This are the same people who owned Mambo Italiano ...This are the same people who owned Mambo Italiano in Vinnings and Sandy Springs.

Last time I was at Prickly Pear a few weeks ago I noticed pizzas waiting to be picked up on the Pear side. <br /><br />Have a friend who lives in Plaza Midtown so I'd love to see better options in those spaces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-58587649436549460852011-01-27T09:08:11.964-05:002011-01-27T09:08:11.964-05:00LOL!
