(besides it is one of Atlanta's new obsession)<br /><br />Because pizza SO cheap for the restaurant to make. A pizza that costs the consumer $16 costs the restairant about $2 or $3 for the ingredients(including dough & sauce).<br /><br />A composed beef, pork or seafood entree of that same price costs the restuarant upwards of $8. That is a HUGE difference in profit margin.<br /><br />You can make some serious money on a busy pizza joint. And not even have to sell beer & wine....<br /><br />Good for the pizza enthusiast that we have many new gourmet pizza places around town. Proprietors of these gourmet pizza places are raking it in... and good for them.Ty Webbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-1476995071108267382011-12-07T22:51:33.528-05:002011-12-07T22:51:33.528-05:00I've followed Enrico at almost all the spots h...I've followed Enrico at almost all the spots he's worked at with exception of Max's. The fact he keeps jumping around makes me wonder if he's difficult to work with. Maybe now that he's his own boss, he will plant some roots.

PB "bakes" their fake NY style pizza in aerated pans as evident by the round little circles on the bottom. It has no char nor any flavors. Most of these people claiming there is NY pizza here are not native NYers, merely just visitors who lived there for a year in some suburb 45 mins out of Manhattan. <br />Fuoco di Napoli is not NY pizza, its Napolentana pizza. It is very good and Antico finally has a major competitor. All the others listed in this post are a joke. Tarufo won't even dare to use wood in their dual oven because they don't want to mess it up.<br />Comparing the best pizza to Rocky's?

You don't have to try any of these new places. I for one am glad that we have options. Have these people not ever been to other major cities like New York where a pizza joint is literally on every block and most corners?
