Max's Coal Oven Pizzeria

Yummy dough, good cook, great sauce and good cheese- extremely serviceable pizza coal oven fun!

Very good pie. Beer is cold too.

Solid pie for Georgia. Crust was excellent but had a wood fire texture, not coal. Looks like they mix both wood and coal. Sauce had a nice tang. 7.5

Got two pies one was burnt to hell sauce is bland floppy and greasy. Salad was good!

Only the second coal fire pizza I’ve had but it is unreal good. Doesn’t compare to John’s of bleaker in NY but still amazing.

Got a Margherita. Passed the flop test on first piece. Well baked underneath. Enjoyed the flavor. Only real gripe is that the basil was put on before it went in the oven instead of after.

Yes it’s a good pie.

Thin crust.

One of the better pies I’ve had recently. Solid pizza with great fresh ingredients and fresh sauce. Could have been cooked a little longer to hold up to the flop test but overall worth the trip to the ATL.

3.8 by the other half

Good pizza for the location.Only complaint is on a margarita they should put the basil on after it comes out of the oven.

All their crust is gluten free?!?? Also their oven is wood fired, not coal. Pizza is OK, but not a game changer or over the top. I put it 1 step above a Johnnys NY pizza.

Big flop great taste.

Fantastic pizza. Nice char on bottom for good flavor and little crunch with each bite.

Probably the best pizza in downtown Atlanta. Nice staff, cool vibe, beautiful brick oven. I'm in town for a conference and have come here for dinner twice. I may do it again tonight. The dough they use comes out a little softer than I would prefer so that's why this is still in the 7s. If it would get a little more firm for the undercarriage, it would easily be into the 8s. Ingredients are fantastic, cheese is just perfection. Nice sauce with flavor but not overly salty. It leaves just enough space for the excellent pepperoni to shine. It doesn't come across as a greasy pizza; you don't have grease drips all over your plate after eating one of these pies.

Great pizza, good undercarriage, one the the better ATL joints

Zero flop, great sauce. Love the curl into a cup style pepperoni.

Great crust with a little too much tang on the sauce for me but I can see some high scores coming soon

Nice thin crust and no flop. I did check the "crispy" crust option and still thought it could've been a bit crispier given the coal oven bake, but think that came down to the dough. The sauce is the big driver of this score. Not bad on price so this is a good option if you're in the area.
