Hands down this is some of the best pizza around. Each one of them gourmet made highly recommend the one with pineapple and chili drizzle with pepperoni. But absolutely do not forget to get the salad either the Caesar salad or the regular salad absolutely the best salad dressings I have ever had they seriously need to bottle this stuff.!

Our family of 5 adults stopped by ESP for Easter lunch. The food and service blew us away. Pricey, yes, but what does that even mean when a fast food burger, fries and drink can easily cost about $20? The Emmy pizza, burger and waffle fries were delicious and we had enough to stretch into two meals. We found the Glenwood Park restaurant as a fallback plan B place to eat. Next time we're in the area it will be plan A.

I went to the Athens location with my son the week before. I was excited to bring my wife to the Atlanta location. Pizza and breadstcks came out within minutes of each other. Pizza was not done in middle. Overall a let down from the Athens location. Service started out good and after order was taken, felt deserted.

Smh. Not great anymore. Staff seems sad and uneducated on the menu. Too many new faces at once.

As a local to the neighborhood, a quick search of my credit card statements tells me I've eaten at Emmy Squared 26 times in 2023. Their (usually decent) bar staff will recognize me as the guy who came in Friday or Sunday for a classic w/ pepperoni, typically with my laptop to work at the bar for an hour. In the past month, I have walked out twice without a meal. The most recent - and final - time occurred after completing two slices of a cold pizza upon realizing a thick piece of PLASTIC TRASH had been baked into the crust. I would not recommend this place to anyone who expects a good meal, especially given the price and lousy table service. Given this is my neighborhood and walkable options are limited, I hope they close, and soon.

A friend told me that Atlanta didn't have great pizza... I guess they'd never been here. The pizza options are amazing, and the garlic breadsticks might be the best I've ever had. The Detroit style crispy edges are done perfectly here. Highly recommend!

Recently I ordered 2 Big Ang pizzas for take out. When I got home both pizzas did not have Italian sausage. I also ordered and paid for extra pepperoni and there was no extra pepperoni. I wrote the restaurant via the app and provided photos. Of course, crickets from Emmy squared. 5 days later I wrote the restaurant again and still crickets. The reason why i am writing the review. As you can see by the photo, there is no Italian sausage and no extra pepperoni. Emmy Squared was a bright star when it opened but like a lot of restaurants, service dwindles, prices increase as portions decrease

Brooke was a great server! Very welcoming and attentive. The food was also very good.

While I LOVE their pizza after discovering this chain in D.C., the service was horrendous at this location. Our waiter didn't bring our drinks for over 30 min, brought the wrong order, and blamed our table for his mistake.

The food and service are always great! If you want a great pizza and an even greater burger, try Emmy's.
We arrived & were the only guests in the restaurant. The young lady came & brought water, & didn't come back for almost 20 minutes. I ordered a Skinny Margarita Pitcher for the table. It took awhile for it to come out. Again, we were the only people there. Ordered the Mozzarella Sticks as an appetizer. I wanted a Caesar Salad or Chopped Italian, They said they were out of lettuce & items to make the salads. The server stated the owner went to the grocery store and should be back shortly. I created a Classic Pizza & added mushrooms, red onion & sausage. It was mainly sauce. I've dined here 3 times. One other time was with the ladies I was with. It was a disappointment. The service was terrible and food was mediocre. You would think the service would've been exceptional, but it was the opposite. If items weren't available when the restaurant opened, the staff/owner should've had enough “Salad” items prior to opening. I hope other guests don't have the same experience we had. The price & quantity don't match. I enjoy dining out & supporting logical neighborhood eateries. However, providing customer service no matter how busy or not shouldn't be a determination.

If you like square pizza, this is the place for you. Came here for an impromptu date night. It was a Sunday night, so it was not very full. The bar was busier than the dining room. We sat at the bar and the bartender, Noelle, was super friendly and greeted us right away. Asked about recommendations and she highly recommended the garlic cheese sticks which we ordered. We ordered mozzarella sticks also to start. She was not wrong about the garlic cheese sticks......I love garlic and these hit those high notes of garlic. The marinara sauce for dipping is also delectable. I usually don't like dipping in marinara, but this one had such a unique flavor and was very light that I enjoyed it. There are cute little dinosaur figurines throughout as decor and the bartender explained to us that it was a nod from the owners to have their own unique touches to the restaurant to remind them of where they started. Those were not her exact words, she was much more elaborate, but that was my take! Now on to the pizza. It is a Detroit style pizza, which I am not familiar with as I don't think I have ever really eaten Detroit style pizza until this, so I have no point of reference. It is a rectangular shape that is cut into 6 slices. Looks like a pan style pizza with a buttery crisp crust. Again, the same marinara dipping sauce is in the pizza and I really enjoyed that. The dough is thick like a pan or deep dish style, but not nearly as heavy as a deep dish. The dough was very light and airy. As a matter of preference, I would want a bit more cheese, but that's just me. It looks small but my husband and I ate two pieces each and had two pieces to go home. Keep in mind, this is after eating the mozzarella sticks and garlic cheese bread as an appetizer. Had we not ate that, we probably would have devoured the whole pizza. There was a great 90's - 2000's r&b playlist going throughout the restaurant which was a nice vibe. It's in a cute neighborhood with some other food spots and apartments around. Street Parking out front is free, but is minimal directly out front and you may have to go down the street a bit or go down one of the neighborhood streets to park. I will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic service from start to finish! We were having a going away dinner for a coworker and asked for recommendations. The drinks were great, the burgers were tasty, the Brussel sprouts salad was an unexpected find and adding the bacon made it great. Will definitely return, this time for pizza.

Such a nice experience this past week. Popped in for that shaved Brussels salad and stayed for a pizza and a glass of wine. Located at the end of Glenwood park and easy to overlook but worthwhile for a salad and pizza. Pizza is big enough for more than one meal. Highly customizable. And buttery crust. Yummm.Parking can be challenging but if you give it a few minutes, the lots has fast turnover.

We made reservations for dinner on a Saturday night at 6:00pm before going to a concert at 8:00pm nearby. We got there and the place was mostly empty and it remained that way throughout our meal. We asked to sit outside since the weather was nice but I think that was likely our mistake. Our server seemed to forget about us at times. We were not in a hurry at all, but it ultimately took us all 2 hours to order and eat. My friend's son ordered the chicken parm sandwich (no marinara) but it never came with our food. I had to go inside to ask about the sandwich twice, the second time they took the sandwich off the check and said it was almost out. The server told me that something had happened to the kitchen printer that caused the issue(it seemed to us that he maybe forgot to put it in). They ended up bringing it to us to go and we paid and left in a hurry because at this point we were late for the concert and had to drop off her son's sandwich at the airbnb nearby. When we got home from the concert the son went to go eat it and of course, there was sauce all over it. We had to go pick up late night food to make sure he had something to eat! I don't think we would return here to eat if we were back in town. The food was pretty good overall which was a plus but the service was really not great.
