I try my best to visit new Atlanta eateries sometime within the first 48-hours of their opening. I think it’s always fun to try new places and it also helps me establish a baseline for the given restaurant. In addition, watching a restaurant develop and mature is part of the fun of what I do. …

After eighteen stops, a lot of slices, even more calories, and god knows how much damage to his internal organs, Jimmy over at EatItAtlanta has finally wrapped his Atlanta Pizza Days series.
