Editorial by
In ShortA likeable underdog, Oz serves pies that are crisper and more carefully tended than most of its metro counterparts. Go for a thin-crust pie with sun-dried tomatoes, feta, Canadian bacon and pineapple, or the addictive white pizza--it's sauceless, but laden with garlic. A visit wouldn't be complete without the signature bread sticks. Slathered in melted mozzarella and more garlic, they're so tasty that dipping them in the accompanying marinara is a near travesty.

Reviews for Oz Pizza
Why is this pizza so good? WHY? I feel like I'm back in NY. The crust is somewhat crispy, the sauce is perfectly seasoned and slightly salty, and the veggies taste and look garden fresh. I'm really quite impressed - and I'm lucky because Oz is only a minute away from the house.

Just had lunch at Oz and it was some very good pizza. The lunch special is a good deal for what you get, and you won't leave hungry. The slices are big and they load up the toppings. As we were ready to leave, an employee came over and offered us all to-go cups for our drinks. I thought that was great service, to have it offered without having to ask. I will definitely come back to Oz Pizza.

Oz is a great place to eat. The pizza, calzones, salads, and hot sandwiches are awesome. The pizza is not greasy, plus it is economically priced. The staff is super friendly. This is a locally owned restaurant. Not a nameless faceless corporation. Support your local businesses and this quality product.

I think I"ve tried them all..Oz has been the measure that I compare all other Pizza against and for over four years, Oz continues to win.
I've tried the Fairburn location twice, Not Bad, but never as good as the East Point. Have dined at the restuarant at least 100 times, probably more..always good.
Pros: the pizza, out door dining,
Cons: Restrooms could stand some up grading

My husband & I live in Hapeville and decided to give this place a try, as I have read a lot about it.
Prices are good, wine & beer selection is good, service is very friendly.
Pizzas are great - the sauce is a little spicy and has a kick to it and the crust is really crisp.
We got a large, took some home, and it was even better the next day!
Highly recommended - worth driving to come taste!
Pros: Pizza Sauce, wine and beer selection
Cons: parking can be tricky

We ate at the Fairburn store....the people/service was outstanding and the food is was perfect. I must warn you though, the size of a slice of pizza that is shown on the wall is way smaller than what you get. I got 3 slices and I believe I received 3/4s of a whole pizza. Our nine month old daughter loved the breadsticks and the pizza. The salads are fresh and dressings are excellent. Once again, the staff was on top of their game in our ordering/receiving our food and clearing away our dishes. This is the place to go if you are hungary and want a good, cheap, easy meal.
Pros: great food, great service, great people
Cons: can get a little noisy but hey....it's a pizza joint.

Wow. This might be one of the best pizza places in Atlanta. This is great because it is nearby my home and trust me the pizza options around east point/college park are lacking. I tried this because I was desperate for pizza. I did not walk away dissappointed. While Oz does not claim to be New York style pizza it came very close to me. The pizza was thin and crispy while the pepperoni had that slight salty taste distinctive of New York Pizza. The cheese was gooey as well. The pizza was awesome. This will be my new spot for pizza if I don't want to venture far from home. I am tempted to try their breadsticks which I have heard good things about.
Pros: The Pizza
Cons: None

Oz's is, by far, the best pizza in Atlanta. You just can't go wrong here! The toppings are fresh, the cheese is top grade (none of that processed stuff) and the service is GREAT! I prefer the Fairburn location - East Point's ok, but way crowded at lunch. You can order by the slice but I suggest getting the whole pie. Trust me - you'll eat it. Hubby prefers The Mac (like a supreme); I'm a pepperoni + extra cheese girl. Either way, it's the right choice.
Pros: Fresh ingredients, awesome crust, large servings
Cons: Sometimes takes a while to get in/out

I almost always end up going out of my way for a slice or two, or three of their pizza. The more cheese the better. They also have what is called a white-cheese pizza. One word......, "Delicious". A good place to dine in or take-out. Nestled right in the heart of East Point right across the street from the MARTA train station.

Today was the worst experience i've ever had a restuarant , usually my visits to Oz has been great. But, when I had a problem with their service I was treated terrible. They were rude and even followed me out the door yelling at me because I wanted an apology from an employee who was being rude. Me and my co-worker's were appalled and will never frequent that place again.
Pros: food
Cons: customer service

My boyfriend and I love to take in an afternoon lunch at the restaurant in Fairburn. The atmosphere is always pleasant and lively. The service is always quick and friendly and of course the pizza is on the money!
Pros: Ambience, Service, and Food
Cons: It can be pricey, but worth it

There is a lot of great pizza in Atlanta, but Oz is the single best one. The only drawback at East Point is the lunchrtime popularity. They need two registers side by side (and say that is coming). It's a fun place, the staff is friendly, but the real draw is simple - one of the nation's best pizzas. It's great to be next door to them as I get to visit quite often. To avoid crowds, try and miss the 11:30-1 PM stretch and it's a tad quieter.

OVERALL THE BEST PIZZA EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD SINCE MOVING TO ATLANTA.
Pros: GREAT FOOD
Cons: NONE
Posted 04/26/06
Oz is undoubtedly the best pizza in Atlanta. Perfect crust, tangy sauce, lots of good toppings to choose from. The inside seriously lacks atmosphere, but the brick patio outside is a great place to enjoy the weather and watch passersby. Service is quick and friendly, with the typical edgy-aloof vibe, but always friendly. But the consistently delicious pizza keeps me coming back again and again.
Pros: Delicious Pizza, Great N'hood Joint
Cons: Lack of ambience

It may sound crazy- pinapple, canadian ham, feta? and something else- anyway IT FREAKIN ROCKS. One of my coworkers ordered it and I didn't think it sounded too appetizing, tasted it and now I have a new favorite. The employees are cool- they have a coffee shop next door that is very inviting. No, I don't work here. I just give props when props are deserved!
Pros: YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY
Cons: not by my house
