Pizza is a passion
Simple. Delicious. Authentic. Max’s Coal Oven Pizzeria is Atlanta’s home for classic New York-style pizza made-to-order. Served perfectly crisp and piping hot, pizzas emerge from our trademark – Georgia’s only authentic coal-burning oven. As we take pizza back to its roots and bring back the old world art of pizza making, Max’s invites you to experience a taste of Brooklyn’s best paired with Atlanta’s Southern hospitality.
Max’s is located next to STATS in Downtown Atlanta’s Luckie Marietta District. The historic building’s original brick walls from the 1900s are decorated with black and white photos of New York and its classic pizzerias and highlighted by antique French factory lamps. A large oak communal table encourages groups to gather and share, while a brick patio lures guests to enjoy outdoor dining. Ample parking allows guests to enjoy a delicious meal then explore the Luckie Marietta District, the walkable, accessible and vibrant city center Atlantans and travelers have long desired, featuring a variety of unique shopping and entertainment offerings.
Take Max’s fresh flavors wherever you go with convenient to-go and delivery. Whether you’re tailgating before a big game, picnicking in Centennial Olympic Park on a summer afternoon or want to gather the family around the kitchen table for dinner, Max’s pizzas, pastas, salads and wings are an easy way to enjoy simple and delicious Italian classics.

Kids at Max’s
Kids and Max’s go together like pepperoni and cheese. Every young (or young at heart) customer receives a ball of dough to keep their hands busy as they wait for the food. Many of our small diners have made some pretty creative items with their dough! After ordering from the kid friendly menu, most enjoy cones for dessert (and Mom and Dad don’t mind the price!). The second floor of Max’s features a 1,700-square-foot private room with a separate entrance. With a kid-friendly space for 200 people for a reception and seating for 100, Max’s is the perfect place to invite friends and family for pizza for any occasion including birthday parties, bar mitzvah’s and more!
Who is Max?
At 2 ½ years old, Max is a lifetime resident of the Luckie Marietta district, downtown’s walkable neighborhood with restaurants, attractions, hotels and a helipad. He loves pizza and helicopters. His favorite day includes walking to the Children’s Museum of Atlanta and the Georgia Aquarium finished with a meal at Max’s Coal Oven Pizzeria. All children who visit Max’s Coal Oven Pizzeria receive a giant dough ball to play with and, without fail, Max asks for his upon arrival. His favorite dishes include the spaghetti and meatballs and the cheese pizza. He splurges on a chocolate gelato which ends up on the table, on his shirt and in his tummy!
Our Pizza
The Crust
Max’s crust is the perfect combination of a soft and chewy center surrounded by a slight outer crisp. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Executive Chef Don Diem blends his childhood memories of pizzerias and his mother’s secret family recipes to create this foundation of flavor at Max’s.
The Toppings
Housemade mozzarella, classic meats and fresh vegetables sit atop a layer of Max’s secret recipe red sauce, a Diem family favorite. From sausage and pepperoni to peppers and onions, simple yet flavorful combinations please every pizza-lover’s palate.
The Oven
The only coal oven in Georgia, Max’s oven heats up to 1,000 degrees. In addition to producing genuine New York flavor, the coal oven promotes environmental sustainability by burning anthracite coal. One of the cleanest burning fossil fuels with an abundant supply in the United States, anthracite coal contains the fewest impurities. Max’s defining fixture, the oven recaptures the feel of the original pizzerias of the early 1900s and takes pizza back to its roots by creating delicious pies with perfectly balanced crisp, yet chewy crusts.
Private Parties
The second floor of Max’s features a 1,700-square-foot private room with a separate entrance and bar. With a kid-friendly space for 200 people for a reception and seating for 100, Max’s is the perfect place to invite friends and family for pizza for any occasion including birthday parties, bar mitzvah’s and especially before or after an Atlanta Hawks, Thrashers or Falcons game at Philips Arena or the Georgia Dome. Out-of-town guests can relax and stay overnight at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street in the heart of the Luckie Marietta District.
