Little Italy Pizzeria

If you’re looking for a little slice of Italy without the airfare or passport stamp, Little Italy Pizzeria in downtown Auburn is where your hunger goes to say “mamma mia.” This place is old-school - no fancy lights, no over-the-top décor - just straight-up, honest-to-goodness Italian comfort food. The pizza? Looks like it was handcrafted by angels with pizza peels. Perfectly baked, cheesy, and satisfying. But the true heavyweight champion of this joint is the Chicken Parmesan Sub. Holy marinara ... this thing could feed a small army or one college student after finals week. The bread is soft but holds strong, the sauce has the right tang, and the cheese stretches like it’s auditioning for a mozzarella commercial. Now, fair warning: this is not a place for people in a hurry. The pace here is about the same as a lazy Sunday in an Italian village. You’ll get your food (and it’ll be worth every second of the wait) but don’t come in thinking it’s drive-thru fast. Also, I did ask for breadsticks. They looked at me like I’d asked for sushi. And fries? Forget it. But honestly, with food this good, you won’t miss them. Bottom line: it’s authentic, it’s delicious, and it’s got that cozy “family-run” energy that makes you feel like you’re eating in someone’s kitchen. Grab a sub, grab a slice, and enjoy the Auburn version of Italian hospitality.

Slid into Auburn, GA late at night...hungry before I checked into my hotel (See review for Microtel - Auburn, GA). Called several pizza places including Papa John's who refused to make a pizza before their advertised closing time. Found Little Italy Pizzeria ???????? . Called and placed my order for their special pizza. Walked in to pick up my pizza and the place was packed at nearly midnight - always a pretty good sign of quality. The air was filled with the smell of fresh tomatoes - garlic, and sausage (another great sign). I ordered the pizza "very well done - not burnt... When they called my name, as the fragrant aromas from my pizza fresh out of the stonevoven filled the air, I peaked into tje box... My pizza was cooked to absolute perfection. Brown bubbles of crust and caramelized cheese burst through the generous toppings of pepperoni, sausage, green bell peppers, and, onions... Even though my hotel was about 10 minutes away (and I stopped for gas on the way back)... When I arrived back at my hotel, the pizza was still piping hot and it was absolutely delicious... Service was top rate as well. If you are in Auburn, AL - Absolutely do not miss the opportunity to experience and enjoy a pizza from Little Italy Pizza too! If you don't need a whole pizza, I saw on their menu, they serve slices of pizza too!

The pizza was delicious! I enjoyed the food and the service. Conveniently located and easy to walk to!
