CHAR Pizzeria

I’ve waited to write this review because I wanted to come back a few times and make sure my first impression was consistent. I’ve now been about 5 times since Char Pizzería’s grand opening, and every visit has been outstanding! The food genuinely reminds me of what I’ve had in Italy. Not just the pizza, but also the sandwiches and the tiramisu! Everything tastes fresh, really well done, and you can taste the quality! I’ve even brought family who were visiting from out of town and they all loved it too. The customer service has always been friendly and the service is quick! They were helpful in explaining different options on the menu, and gave me great recommendations. Their new chicken pesto pizza is amazing! My other favorite pizzas are the pepperoni hot honey, La Passione, and the margh

Char Pizzeria Halcyon is a true gem in Atlanta’s dining scene. From the moment you walk up, you can feel the passion and care that Chef John Frank Cely and his team puts into every detail. His pizzas are nothing short of EXTRAORDINARY — perfectly blistered, balanced, and bursting with authentic Neapolitan flavor. Favorites like the spicy Brava, La Passione with meatballs and peppers, Margherita DOP, with bufala mozzarella and our favorite Pepperoni Hot Honey each bring their own personality — bold, refined, and unforgettable. The Truffle Wood Pizza, topped with mushrooms and caramelized onions, is pure indulgence and adds a rich, earthy depth that beautifully complements the menu. Even the Caesar and Rucola Salads stand out — crisp, bright, and elevated with the same attention to detail y

"We keep coming back to Char Pizza at Halcyon because the food is consistently delicious and the service is incredibly attentive and friendly. Even when we come with a large group of 15+ family and friends, the pizza is ready in less than 15 minutes—perfect if you arrive hungry! The quality is top-notch. Their dough is fermented in-house, giving it the perfect consistency and chewiness while remaining very easy to digest. We’ve tried almost every pizza on the menu and they are all fantastic. My absolute favorite is the Truffle Wood (truffle white pizza), and my husband loves the 4 Porcelli, which is loaded with four different meats including sausage and pepperoni. I also highly recommend the Pepperoni Hot Honey or the Pistadella if you want something unique with pistachio and mortadella. I

TRUE Neapolitan style pizza in this little food court, and possibly one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. I’ve tried several notable pizza places all over Atlanta… Antico’s, Varasano’s, Varuni Napoli and have been fortunate enough to travel the world, including several times to Italy. And with all that said… I genuinely was shocked at how good this pizza was. If you like spicy and savory, the Brava is a must. Their Bianca was also incredible (more my fiance’s style of pizza than me), but the sauce on the red pizzas really brings such an amazing vibrancy and freshness that I can hardly suggest anything else!

So good! The gluten-free crust is amazing—crispy, flavorful, and surprisingly light. You don’t feel weighed down at all after eating. You can really taste the fresh, high-quality ingredients from Italy. One of my favorite local pizza spots.
