I think we’ve had this discussion before so excuse the repetitiveness, but the BEST thing about moving to a new city is discovering all of the new food! And last week my journey continued when I had the pleasure of attending a tasting at Alon’s Bakery and Market in Dunwoody.
Alon’s has been an Atlanta staple for 20 years delighting customers with a plethora of sweet treats, baked goods, wine, foodie gifts and so much more. But Alon just installed a wood burning pizza oven that cranks out 11 different pies from scratch. So what better way to break it in than to throw a little party.
The pies were nothing short of fantastic. With classics like Margherita combining crushed tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, and basil infused olive oil to the unexpected like anchovies with fried capers. There’s literally a pie to please every discerning (or not so discerning) taste bud. Shockingly my two favorites couldn’t have been more opposite; the habenero olive oil with Italian tuna and the Taleggio with fig balsamic, truffled honey and marcona almonds. The Taleggio would be perfection paired with some good wine.
So yes, Alon’s will be making it on to my Atlanta MUST Eat list, and Alon can plan on seeing a lot of me in the near future. A lot. On a side note, sorry to all of you loves that don’t live in Atlanta, but as a takeaway we can all appreciate to always try new things. Had I not, I wouldn’t have found my 2 fav new pizzas! xoxo
