Phew Pizza is Phire!

December 9, 2020December 9, 2020 by marcushall21, posted in Grab N' Go

Phew Pies is an up and coming pizza joint in Atlanta. Phew Pies is easily the most creative pizza in the city right, and I am not talking about just presentation. Let’s get into it:

I discovered Phew Pies on Instagram (@PhewPies), and I was left in awe when I saw his different pizza creations. With him being located in West Atlanta, he decided to curate some pies that truly embody the culture. If you grew up here, then you know that lemon pepper wings were always at the function. However, only the real city folks know about lemon pepper wet. Imagine that on a pizza for a second.. Magical.
PhewPies has original favorites such as cheese, pepperoni, and veggie pies. His specialties are the show stopper though with hot lemon pepper, oxtail, and po boy pies. I had to dive into the hot lemon pepper pie head first! No napkins in sight, just vibes. I loved the crust of the pie first off. That set the record straight that this was legit. The flavor was immaculate though. I was hot sauce on the pallet then lemon pepper sauce followed by gooey cheese. great combination that also included chicken bits in the mix. The pizza comes with 2 wings on top for when you want to step away from pizza and nibble on something else. I shared a slice with some friends, and we all ended up dancing like..

Amalfi Pizza. I’m all for pizza!

November 4, 2020 by marcushall21, posted in Wine N' Dine

Amalfi Pizza brings traditional Neapolitan pizza and flavors to Atlanta. After studying and doing an apprenticeship in Italy, they decided to open up shop here. Who doesn’t love great pizza and pasta?! Let’s get into it:

Amalfi Pizza has one of the best ambiances I have seen. As soon as you walk in, the restaurant turns into an Italian walkways with Juliet style balconies and iron chandeliers. It makes for a great date night if you and bae don’t mind sitting inside. My hungry butt went straight to the menu and fell in love. Lots of traditional Italian dishes can be found such as gnocchi, ricotta stuffed crust pizza, and classic pastas.
I went straight to the pizzas and stumbled on the Diavola. This pizza was topped with spicy salami, hot peppers, fior de latte, pecorino and basil. I don’t expect you to know all of those ingredients, because I was for sure lost! I knew things would be fresh and authentic though, so I felt fine. When it came out, the aromas were heavenly out the wood fired oven. The spicy salami was amazing and probably my favorite part. The crust with the ricotta cheese had me feeling like I could move to Italy right now. Everything was fresh and working together. I was about to walk to the kitchen in my costume and look at the chef like…

Slim + Huskey. Tasty + Affordable.

July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 by marcushall21, posted in Wine N' Dine

Sim & Huskey’s may confuse you with their name, but they are a fast fast casual, artisan pizza shop. They build community using locally sourced ingredients and local craft beers. It was hard for me to not want to try. Let’s get into it:

Slim and Huskey’s reminds of me a kid cooking with their parents. I have to explain, but their menu has funky names and flavor combinations that you wouldn’t expect. For example, they have a cinnamon roll with green apple sauce + jalapeño cream cheese on it. I’m sure it slaps, butttt I am also guessing that someones child mistakenly put this combo together and it worked! What you can find on their menu? Vegan pizza called ‘Nothing but a “V” thang’, and their pepperoni called ‘Roni, Rony, Rone!’, and their cinnamon roll ‘Halle Berry’. I had lots of fun choosing my dinner!
I ended up ordeirng the ‘Smokin Herb’ which has white sauce, cheese blend, spinach, onions, mushrooms, and chicken. The pizza was absolutely delicious. It’s hard to put my finger on just one thing that made it tasty. The sauce was packed with flavor which I appreciated. The onions, spinach, and mushrooms were very fresh as if they prepared them just for my pizza. The chicken was seasoned and spot on which I feel is unlike a lot of chicken pizzas. Also, the ‘Roni, Rony, Rone!’ had classic red sauce and three types of pepperoni with a little bit of spice! This felt like a true pepperoni pizza. With every bite, I was able to get smokey and tender goodness. I don’t know if it was a new pizza experience or a close taste of heaven. Next time someone mentions getting pizza and does not mention Slim & Huskey’s, I will have to interrupt..

Kelz Kitchen is Killer!

May 13, 2020 by marcushall21, posted in Wine N' Dine

Kelz Kitchen is located in the heart of downtown Atlanta. They bring Atlanta their authentic Coastal Carolina Cuisine. From what I’ve heard, you can’t find anything like this in the city! Let’s get into it:

Kelz Kitchen makes sure that you walk out of their carry out with enough food to last you at least two days! The bigger the portions, the quicker you win my heart. The menu features lots of delicious sounding options such as salmon alfredo, crab stuffed salmon, lamb chops, and chicken wings! Their sides included mac & cheese, fried okra, sweet potatoes, and more. And they’re open late, so you can take you and your home girls to eat after the club. LOL
The food was immaculate. To start with the salmon alfredo, the sauce was packed with flavor! They salmon was season by someone’s uncle, and they put a lemon on top for that extra zing. I also bodied their baked chicken and collard greens and mac & cheese. I thought I was pretty good at baking chicken, but their chicken was extremely juicy and tasty. The sides did not back down either. The greens and sweet potatoes were so fresh. Not much beats fresh sweet potatoes for me! That mac & cheese needed to win an award, because I was amazed after every bite. Like.. this can’t be that good? But it was! I can try to explain all of these different tastes more, but I’d look like..

Plant-Based Pizzeria Please!!

April 29, 2020May 14, 2020 by marcushall21, posted in Wine N' Dine

Plant Based Pizzeria is Atlanta’s first all vegan pizza joint, and they are black owned! I was craving pizza and felt like going vegan for the day. Let’s get into it:

I walked in and knew I wanted pizza, butttt their menu has lots of good sounding options such as vegan meat lovers pizza, Georgia peach flatbread, and a spicy chicken sandwich. I wanted to get creative, so I decided on ordering their Philly pizza with beyond sausage, red onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. I had to freak it, so I added jalepños onto that. My second option was for sure to try their Georgia peach flatbread that includes spicy beyond sausage, roasted peaches, red onions, and jalepños. I didn’t know what I signed up for, but I was excited!
First bite into the pizza, you would have thought I found gold. Not to sound cheesy, but I was cheesing the rest of the way as I bodied the whole pizza. The beyond sausage was seasoned and really reminded me of your Uncle Tony’s Italian sausage. The vegetables could not have been fresher! Even though most vegan cheese does not melt, Plant Based Pizzeria was able to find a solution to that. The cheese was holding everything together which made for a perfect bite. When I realized I had I no more slices in the box…

Oz Pizza. Oozing with cheese!

January 2, 2020January 2, 2020 by marcushall21, posted in Wine N' Dine

Oz Pizza started in 1997 with the purpose of serving their community the finest ingredients and homemade pizza! Pizza makes any day better, so let’s get into it:

This mom and pop shop welcomed everyone so nicely. Their menu resembled a classic pizza shop including salads, calzones, and slices of all kinds! The slices were huge, so they immediately won bonus points. The prices were college-budget friendly too! I haven’t found too many pizza places in Atlanta, but Oz definitely remains on my lists to revisit.
Extra cheesy. Hella vegetables. Fresh crust. Need I say more?? The slices easily exceeded my expectations. The vegetables on their veggie slice were perfect. The crust played a great role keeping the tastes balanced and holding the slice together. The bites were juicy and left me with the Kool-aid man smile!
