We recently visited Ellijay’sLittle Italian Pizza and had an incredible experience! We tried the Fuhgetaboudit meatballs, a BYO deep dish, and the Cousin Vinny pizza. Every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The deep dish was a masterpiece, and the meatballs were a must-try.
The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for amazing food and exceptional service, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

Went in at 6 pm on a Saturday. They told us the food would be 35 minutes and we agreed to wait and originally ordered take out before a big enough table opened up so we told the cashier we wanted it there because it was 630 and the food was coming soon… we thought! We ordered appetizers, pizza, root beer floats, sodas, and tiramisu. Got every item at different times.
There was a large group that came in at 630 and sat down right after we did. They were getting their appetizers by 640! We flagged the lady down and told her we had been waiting-with children- for almost 40 minutes and haven’t gotten anything. She came out with a tied bag of our appetizers that had been wrapped in plastic containers and confirmed that it was ours and had been ready for quite awhile but the cashier never told her it was changed to dine in. The cheesy bread that looked SO good at the next table was not at all the same as ours. We had wet soggy chewy cold breadsticks and only ate a few. It was so disappointing. And to top it off, they wrapped the hot item with the cold caprese salad so our cheese and tomatoes weren’t even cold anymore. All of this food must have been sitting in this bag for a half hour on the counter, and nobody questioned it. The lady apologized and said they were short 2 people so we didn’t even bother complaining. I’m just disappointed. We chose this place out of several while picking apples because of the reviews.
Top everything off! Our pizza didn’t come out until right after 7. Like 7:02. So our appetizers would have sat there for 50 minutes getting more unpleasant, and they were OK with this happening to us. The pizza might have been better if I didn’t already have a bad experience. I thought the crust and cheese were delicious, but I thought the sauce was thin and ketchupy.. kinda bland. As much as I felt sorry for them being short-handed, I will never go back, they knew the hot appetizer sat in a plastic container getting moist and warm and my cold appetizer getting room temp. They had time to fix it and chose to be OK with this. Hmm. My daughter loved the root beer float! And the sodas were self-service, thank goodness

We ate at Ellijay’s Little Italian at the recommendation of a local shop we were in, earlier today. It’s obviously a place that the locals eat it because everyone seemed to get their food to go. We soon realized why. For the amount of money that they charge, we were given paper plates to eat off of. The restaurant is also order at the counter, yet the staff ask for tips, when no wait staff are provided. It’s basically bus your own table. Again, for the amount of money they charge, guests should not be having to do this. This isn’t McDonald’s.
We ordered the meatball sliders, which just didn’t work. The meat was flavorless and meatballs aren’t really a finger food type of dish. Next was the caprese, which is $12 for slices mozzarella, sliced tomato, and balsamic vinagarette. Not honestly anything to write home about. We ordered the meat Stromboli, which was good but undercooked in the middle (sorry undercooked mozzarella with something like this just doesn’t work). There’s better places to eat that cost less and have less nuisances.

We’ve been coming to visit for 5 years now and somehow have never went to this place. we went twice it was SO good! this is the best gluten free pizza I have ever had. I love that they display what food allergens are in the ice cream so I could see what I could and could not have. by far the best ice cream I have had in a while- we got a whole pint on the second visit. the workers were so nice and accommodating both times we went in this weekend. 10/10 will be coming back every time we visit now!

Stopped in during our motorcycle ride. Had no idea where to eat in Ellijay, so we just picked a spot. Cozy little place with a neat menu selection. The food tasted great. I need to go back and try some pizza.

Great little pizza place. We found it while traveling. It was the only one that we found that would take our carry out order by phone after 6pm on a Sunday.
We parked around the corner and began walking towards the restaurant. As we rounded the corner we immediately noticed a very distinct aroma that can only be described as that authentic Italian pizzeria smell that you don’t find that often. We followed the smell and were happy to find that it was from where we had ordered from.
We ordered a Neapolitan Pizza, a Cheese Pizza, and cheesy bread sticks. These were the best pizzas I have had so far this year.

The food is made from scratch and was very tasty. We had a White Flatbread Pizza and a Meatball Hero Sandwich. Cheese and sauce were fantastic. It was hot in there, and the ice cream seemed to be the big draw on a hot day.

By far pretty much the best pizza we ever had before. We are from Florida and were craving some pizza, so we stumbled across this restaurant in downtown Ellijay. The food completely exceeded all expectations. We got pepperoni pizza for the kids and the Appalachian trail pizza with banana peppers. It was so hot, fresh, and delicious we just couldn’t put down our slices. My picky 13 year old ate 3 slices, and my toddler devoured her slice. Customer service was so friendly and welcoming, and it was very clean. We go back home on Sunday and definitely are planning to go back one more time. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Couldn’t recommend more!

Always great pizza. Was offered an ice cream sample while I waited for my pickup order. It wasn’t just a small sample. It was a huge spoonful! Highly recommend pizza and the Jacked up Tennessee toffee ice cream. Delish!

We’ve passed this place for years, but it was recommended by some of the locals. It did not disappoint! How have we missed eating at this restaurant? I had the mushroom and cheese calzone. My wife had the pesto spaghetti. Huge portions and excellent taste. The calzone is undoubtedly in my top 3 that I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked with cheesy goodness. Don’t miss this one. Hands down the “Best Italian” in this area. We are HUGE fans.
