The food was good but the service was not. Very slow, had to ask a couple of times for water, drinks took forever. And then they hand you the machine to pay and it defaults to 20% which is a little presumptuous.

Varasano’s has gone downhill over the years. Pizza is soggy. Service is awkward. Decor is dated, old and worn out, the blaring tvs showing news and the horrible dance moms reality show. No thanks. Plenty of far better pizza places in ATL.

The quality has never wavered over the years. They have great neopolitan pizza, my favorite in Atlanta and the ambiance is great along with location and the wait staff is awesome as well. Go grab you a pie or two from them.

We ordered 2 pizza’s which were freshly prepared. The crust was thin and the toppings were plentiful . However, the pizza was only lukewarm and light on the sauce. It appears the server did not bring the pizza’s to the table as it came out of the oven. In addition, the restaurant appears to be in need of a deep cleaning (windows, floor,etc.)
