So I took advantage of their "wonderful back to the 80"s for one day" promo to get a large cheese pizza. I will say I don't eat out or eat a lot of pizza normally although I just had great thin crust grilled pizza at an Italian eatery in Newport RI (done with a traditional pizza crust not flatbread) and it was awesome, very similar to their Noni toppings with dots of ricotta and olives. I noticed reading some of the other reviews about soggy centers and I had that too. There seemed to be plenty of room to spread the sauce more evenly as there was none starting 2 inches from the rim. Maybe it has to be that way to keep the sauce from drying out. The crust was excellent, perfect for dipping the ends in some creamy Italian dressing (like ykw)... Sauce also very flavorful and fresh tasting. I'm also low sodium so whenever I have restaurant food I will notice this but it was not too bad. I am interested in trying their square pizza. Back in the real late 70's and early 80's there was a place called Jagger"s at Emory Commons with the best rectangular pizza. Crispy cheesy ends, thin crust and lots of olive oil. Pielands is a great addition to the neighborhood and walking distance for me.
Hands down the best tasting pizza in town and definitely what the Virginia Highlands neighborhood needed. The square pie is insanely good and the sauce is fantastic. Keep up the good work Pielands!
I am from the Northeast and have been missing a "real" sub. This place has Italian Hot Cut that takes me back home. I have also gotten pizza here 2x and it has been delicious-- foldable, chewy dough. Don't come here looking for Italian style brick oven pizza! BUT if you want a good slice of American style pizza, this is it. Yes, it is a little pricey, but so is rent in VA highlands.
Such a great experience going to pieland. The food is always amazing and the staff go the distance to make sure you're happy. In need of a delicious slice of pizza, soft serve cone or even a nice cold beverage, stop by and enjoy! I don't think you will be disappointed
Thin crust no flop with a nice crunch on the edges. Sauce has a great fresh tang. Herbs throughout the cheese were very nice. Really good pizza. Garlic Knot also had delicious herb and butter flavor. Marinara sauce had a good tang. Will definitely come back here.
Update: Tried this again and this is one of the best pizzas in ATL, especially if you like thin crust. In my top 5 in the city.
