Marietta's pizza scene runs wider than most OTP suburbs can claim: Jersey-style deep dish, Neapolitan wood-fired, New Haven apizza, and the kind of neighborhood slice joint that stays open after the high school game. These seven rooms cover that range, ranked by the Insider Score so you know where to start.

Blue Moon Pizza is the call for a pizza-and-football night in Marietta. The room runs multiple TVs and a full bar, and the service draws consistent praise for being attentive without being in the way. The Margherita holds up for a crowd, the cheese fries are a table staple, and the kitchen handles party-sized orders without a drop in quality. Solid walk-in spot when the crew needs a casual spread.

Carlo's Pizza

Marietta
1100 Johnson Ferry Rd · (404) 205-5785

Carlo's earns its post-game reputation: an 18-inch pie loaded with Italian sausage in the New Jersey tradition, a kitchen that stays open late, and a room that handles families without fuss. The Meat Lovers Deep Dish is the heavy hitter here, and the Caesar Salad rounds out a straightforward order. When the options nearby thin out after 9 p.m., this is the Marietta room that still has the lights on.

Capozzi's runs a high-volume takeout operation alongside its dine-in room, and the kitchen handles both without losing consistency. The white pizza and garlic knots are the standout takeout order; the Chicken Lazio fills out a full table spread. Staff is noted for being genuinely attentive rather than just polite, and pizza by the slice keeps the entry price low for a solo lunch. The everyday neighborhood Italian in Marietta.

Italy's Pizzeria

Marietta $$
1000 Whitlock Ave NW · (678) 384-2142

Italy's Pizzeria is a split ticket: the spaghetti and meatballs with garlic knots draws serious repeat business, and the cannoli is singled out as the best in the area. The Philly cheesesteak also gets strong marks as a non-pizza option. The pizza itself draws divided opinions in the record, with some orders landing well and others falling short. Come for the pasta and the cannoli; treat the pizza as a secondary call.

Mellow Mushroom Marietta - Shallowford
4.9Notable
Marietta $$
2421 Shallowford Rd · (770) 516-1500
Photo via
The Shallowford Mellow Mushroom is a Friday-night institution in Marietta, which means the wait can stretch on weekends. The Holy Shiitaki Pizza is the order that separates this location from a generic chain stop, and the Pretzel Bites with Beer Cheese pair well with the craft beer list. The kitchen produces consistent results rather than revelatory ones, but the family-friendly room and reliable service make it a durable go-to for the area.

Forno Vero
4.9Notable
Marietta $$
68 N Marietta Pkwy NW · (678) 310-2078

Forno Vero operates out of Marietta Market Square, so parking requires a plan: the lot charges after two hours, and weekend crowds make a seat at the bar competitive. The wood-fired Pepperoni Pizza is the draw, and the beer list adds to the appeal on a slow weeknight. Appetizers hold up as solid starters before the pie arrives. For a wood-fired room in Marietta that also runs a strong drinks program, this is the one.

Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza
4.9Notable
Marietta
125 Ernest W Barrett Pkwy NW · (678) 695-7432
Photo via
Ah-Beetz brings New Haven-style apizza to Marietta: thin, charred, chewy crust with enough structural integrity to hold a proper load of toppings. The flavor profile consistently wins over New York loyalists who come in skeptical. The room is small and counter-service in feel, with attentive staff and a kitchen that takes its time. Wings are available and serviceable; the pizza is the reason to make the trip.

Frequently asked
What is the best pizza near me in Marietta?
That depends on what style you want. For wood-fired Neapolitan, Forno Vero at Marietta Market Square is the pick. For New Haven-style apizza, Ah-Beetz is the only room in the area doing it right. For a classic neighborhood Italian spot with great pasta alongside the pizza, Italy's Pizzeria or Capozzi's are both strong calls. Every restaurant on this list is ranked by the Insider Score, and no restaurant pays to be included.
Which Marietta pizza spot is best for families?
Blue Moon Pizza and Capozzi's are the two most family-oriented rooms on this list. Blue Moon has TVs, a sports-bar setup, and handles group orders well. Capozzi's has a welcoming dine-in room plus a strong takeout operation if staying home is easier. Mellow Mushroom Marietta is also a reliable family option, though expect a wait on Friday nights.
Is there a late-night pizza option in Marietta?
Carlo's Pizza is the room most cited for staying open after games and late into the evening. It handles families after 9 p.m. when other spots have closed, and the New Jersey-style 18-inch pie is built for a hungry group.
