Marietta Pizza Co.
Located in scenic Marietta Square, just outside Kennesaw, Marietta Pizza Co. is a crowd favorite. Inside, their display of local artists is fun to look at while you enjoy your pizza. Because they are on a corner spot, during the nicer weather, they place their tables around two sides of the restaurant, and they always fill up at lunchtime. A favorite is The Florentine, a pizza with spinach, artichoke hearts, grilled chicken, tomatoes, fresh garlic and extra cheese.
