General Info
Pero's Pizza & Pasta has the kind of history that gives a neighborhood restaurant real character. Located at 3521 Northside Pkwy NW in Atlanta, this longtime favorite has been serving the Buckhead community since Charles and Wendy Pero opened the restaurant in 1969. More than five decades later, it remains a comfortable gathering place for families, longtime regulars, and anyone craving familiar Italian-American food in a welcoming setting.
Pizza is naturally one of the biggest attractions. The restaurant has built such a loyal following for its pies that Pero's pizza has also become a familiar choice at local schools, football games, and community festivals. Expect the sort of satisfying pizza that works just as well for a casual family dinner as it does for sharing with a group. Generous portions add to the appeal, especially for diners looking for a filling meal at a neighborhood spot.
The pasta selection gives guests plenty more to explore. Fettuccine Alfredo is a popular choice, offering a creamy, comforting alternative when pizza isn't the plan. Pairing pasta with a fresh Greek salad creates a nicely balanced meal, and the salad itself gets plenty of attention for its crisp ingredients and classic flavors. With pizza, pasta, salads, and other familiar favorites available, the menu suits both lighter appetites and hearty dinners.
Just as important is the atmosphere. Pero's feels cozy rather than overly formal, making it easy to settle in for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Friendly, efficient service reinforces that neighborhood-restaurant feeling. The Pero family has welcomed multiple generations through the doors, and that sense of continuity remains part of the experience. For Buckhead diners, it's a dependable option for family meals, casual get-togethers, pizza nights, and comforting plates of pasta served without unnecessary fuss.
