The service was poor. The waitress was not attentive. She did not come back to check on us to see if we needed Parmesan cheese or peppers or anything. She did not refill our water glasses. Another waiter brought us our pizza and we had to wait 10 minutes for our beer and glass of wine. I’m not quite sure what the issue was that day. However, I will not sit down and dine with them again.

Excellent service even on a busy Valentine’s Day dinner. The pizza is as good as thin crust pie as you will ever find.

The food was good but the service was not. Very slow, had to ask a couple of times for water, drinks took forever. And then they hand you the machine to pay and it defaults to 20% which is a little presumptuous.

Varasano’s has gone downhill over the years. Pizza is soggy. Service is awkward. Decor is dated, old and worn out, the blaring tvs showing news and the horrible dance moms reality show. No thanks. Plenty of far better pizza places in ATL.
