26/05/2024: Some of the best pizza in Atlanta! I have a hard time giving them 4 stars, because I really love the pizza here. It's super thin, and absolutely delicious. They have some really great meat choices as far as toppings are concerned.
The only reason I didn't give Fritti 5 stars is because a lot of the other food there is pretty basic. If I rated just the pizza, I would give it 5 stars, but most of the pastas and salads are good, or just okay.
This is how I would rate each thing we ordered individually:
Salad: 2-3 stars
The salad had far too much oil on it, and the toppings were pretty kind of sparce. I make better salads at home, which are much cheaper.
Bruschetta: 2-3 stars
It was okay, but not super flavorful. I do think that they may have changed this item since the last time I had it, which was a few years ago. It was actually better this time, but it could have had more herbs and flavor.
Drinks: 3-4 stars
the cocktails were good, but not amazing. They were a little sweet, and it seemed like they were trying too hard to make some creative cocktails. I think at an Italian restaurant it is okay to have some standard classic cocktails that you can make well, and just call it a day.
Calamari: 4 stars
I really like their calamari. I think it is some of the best in the city, but not the best I have ever had. The batter is cooked very well. It is not too crispy, but not soft, or soggy. The texture of the calamari is really good. Also, they have tentacles, and not just rings, which I love. Many places just serve the rings, and the tentacles are so much better.
Pizza: 5 stars
We ordered the Maialona, which is my favorite. It has spicy meats, and black olives. The pizza is thin, and you can fold it into a little pizza sandwich. It is hands down one of my favorite pizzas in Atlanta.
Fritti is great. I will definitely be back for calamari and pizza. Hopefully some of the other dishes will improve in the future, and I can bump them up to a 5.
