Love Pizza?

If you’ve been searching for something truly different along Barrett Parkway, your pizza life is about to change. Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza isn’t just another slice shop — it’s the only authentic New Haven apizza experience in Cobb County, and it shows in every single bite. Here’s why locals from Marietta to Kennesaw keep coming back, and why food lovers across the Atlanta metro are making the drive.

It Starts With a One-of-a-Kind Oven — and a Crust You Can’t Find Anywhere Else

The heart of everything at Ah-Beetz is a state-of-the-art high-temp natural stone oven that fires pies at 750°F and above. Those extreme temperatures — and the natural stones that line the oven — are what produce the signature char crust that defines real New Haven apizza. That blistered, slightly smoky edge isn’t a mistake; it’s the whole point. As our motto says: no character without char. You won’t find another oven like it in Marietta or anywhere else in Cobb County, and the difference is immediately obvious from your very first bite.

A Dave Portnoy Score of 8.4 — One of the Highest in the Southeast

When Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy — the most influential pizza critic in the country — walked into our original Ah-Beetz in Delray Beach Florida 3 years ago and gave it an 8.4 out of 10, it wasn’t just a win for a local restaurant. It was validation that something genuinely special is happening right here off Barrett Creek Plaza, near Town Center Mall. They took that same recipe and passion to Marietta and an 8.4 from Portnoy puts Ah-Beetz in elite company, ranking it among the very best pizza in the entire Southeast. For Marietta and Cobb County, that’s a big deal.

Authentic New Haven Roots, Right Here in Georgia

Ah-Beetz was founded by Nicholas Laudano, a proud New Haven, CT native who brought the real thing south. New Haven apizza (say it: ah-beetz) has its own tradition, its own culture, and its own rules — and Nicholas didn’t cut corners bringing it to Georgia. From the White Clam Pizza made with fresh littleneck clams to the perfectly charred Mootz and Margherita pies, every item on the menu reflects a deep respect for the craft. This isn’t a pizza chain trying to mimic something it saw online. This is the genuine article, made by someone who grew up eating it.

The menu goes beyond pizza, too — house-made cannoli, Italian salads, garlic butter breadsticks, wings, and calzones round out an experience that feels more like a neighborhood institution than a casual takeout spot. When you’re near Town Center Mall looking for the best pizza on Barrett Parkway, there’s really only one answer.
