Little Azio

I’ve been a frequent customer for 10 years but the quality of food and service has been on a downward spiral.
My husband and I arrived only to find there were no, and I mean no clean tables. The time was 3pm so telling me it was from the lunch rush didn’t convince me this was the case.
My husband said he will not return. I’m of the same mind.

I enjoyed this quaint restaurant. The service was great. The checked on us frequently. I would definitely go back!

We actually visited this location about a year ago. (4÷29÷15) I was a hungry, pregnant woman with my family in tow. We ordered the 18″ Napoltana thin crust pizza and a fried shrimp app. Let’s just say that the décor was the best thing about this visit.
Like I said, this visit was a year ago but for $ 35, we should have left satisfied. To be fair, I should visit this location and update my review, but I don’t want to waste my money or time.
I will be interested to see if anyone has a better, more recent experience.
1 star for décor/​ambience.

Finally got a chance to visit, and the food was great. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, hot flavorful food.

A great little neighborhood spot to eat thin style pizza. I have Azio before at a different location (Northside) and the food was fantastic. I was thrilled to find a location closer to me but I was disappointed in the Cumberland location. I order one of the crowd favorites the Atomica. The pizza was great I wish it would have more spinach on it. I order small house salad and shrimp fettuccine alfredo pasta. The pasta is what drew me back too Azio. Here at the Cumberland location it was disgusting and it was accompanied with small stale bread. Considering this is a franchise you would expect the same quality at any location. 3 stars because the pizza was great no star for nasty pasta.

This place is cool. The food is good and the prices are totally reasonable. Nice, relaxed atmosphere too. Perfect place for a casual dinner that’s relatively inexpensive.
I wouldn’t order the pesto pizza again because it was too dry, but the rest of the food looked solid.

Come here quite a bit and order the same thing every time. This time My experience was not so great. I have a routine of how I order so I am pretty confident in my stance when I say I know I ordered a salad with NO cheese being I am allergic. My order was to go. I got in the car it was wrong I went back in to tell the lady at the front it had cheese and I requested no cheese. She looked at me with a side eye look and proceeded to argue with me about the fact of whether I did or did not order cheese. Instead of just getting it fixed? Are we going to argue about a Togo no cheese order? She acted as if I wanted it for FREE??? I just wanted my salad the way I ordered it. Is that too hard to ask for??? I won’t be coming here again needless to say.

Always have good meals here! Great food for less!
I’ve been here a handful of times now and enjoy it every time. Their pizzas are very delicious and I love their pastas as well. I always get the calamari as an appetizer, and have never been disappointed in my choice. My absolute favorite entrée is the blackened shrimp risotto. It comes with spinach, mushrooms and Parmesan and is amazing! If you’re looking for something flavorful, try this! They are usually on Scoutmob also, so you can eat here for half off! The décor is nice, it’s self serve. I will definitely come back if I need something quick & yummy!

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, so I dropped in one Friday evening while out running errands… no big crowd, just a few patrons in and out. I was greeted right away, table service is not offered so I walked up to order, I ordered the meat pizza, but decided to change out the salami and ham for mushrooms and black olives. I also ordered a Caesar salad w/​extra cheese and a fountain drink.
Food: The salad was a salad (nothing to write home about) fresh and lightly coated with caesar dressing.
The pizza was yummy, loads upon loads of toppings and cooked perfectly. The mushrooms were preared and chopped perfectly (I hate the big chunks).
Service: Two young gentleman running the joint, they were full of energy going back and forth watching the soccer game during down time, both were very polite and seem to have things under control. However, there was a misunderstanding about when I wanted my pizza, I asked them to box it, but I would be eating there. It took them a minute to get my pizza to me, they thought I wanted to take it to go. After that was cleared up, I was fine.
Restaurant: Very clean, restroom was very clean as well…
Prices are very reasonable, I’m sure to return, I would love to try some other things from the menu.

This place isn’t bad at all. I love their gluten free pizza. Their prices are decent and they have beer and wine. We got a veggie gluten free pizza and it hit the spot.
I came with a scoutmob and glad I did. I will be back!

PLEASE fix the flickering CFL lights over all the tables inside — it’s really annoying. :(

Found this little place through Unilocal and ScoutMob!
I ordered the Muffuletta sandwich with a side of pasta salad and my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Alfredo pizza.
Both dishes were SO SO SOOOO GOOD! I have never tasted a better pasta salad in my life. Can I please buy a tub of your pasta salad? And can you please ship it to Memphis?

Had a scoutmob deal for little azio for 50% off up to $ 8 disc. I ordered the parmesean chicken entrée. The serving was pretty big– definitely enough for leftovers. The place is on the smaller side and seemingly a place for families around dinner time so it can get a little noisy from the children. Overall a decent. italian spot to check out. I’ll return and try another dish next time.

Not going to lie, Muss and Turners next door had a wait so we came here instead. Had the turkey panini and colleague got the Philly sandwich. Coworker thoroughly enjoyed the Philly. For under $ 10 this place is a good option for those who want a restaurant feel but without a hefty price tag. Didn’t feel like trying their Italian dishes, but couldn’t resist their crème brûlée advertised at the register. Nothing amazingly good or bad about this place.

Discount if you are a Home Depot Employee!!!
Little Azio is basically Fast Food for Italian. Don’t associate it with McDonalds or Arby’s, think fancier. It’s basically Zoe’s Kitchen, but with Italian food. It’s really good food for the amount you pay. A large salad will cost $ 5 and any other pasta will cost you $ 7-​$ 8.
It is pretty good prices for food with high profit margins!

Not much on ambiance but a perfect little neighborhood spot to grab a bite even if you are in your sweaty workout clothes! Margarita pizza is small & good! Tricolor Insulate is yummy too! That’s all I ever get. Bad wine selection, good iced tea! I like it here!

The employees here are always nice when I come here. The first time I visited them scoutmob had a special going on. Most restaurants (or all) require you to dine in to take advantage of the discount. This location gave the option of taking the 50% off and paying a dollar more or not taking it at all. I took the former option and they gave me a 20 percent off coupon in return. That’s awesome.
Just like the north side drive location, I typically get the panini or the chicken sausage pizza. But my salad isn’t hot by time I get home due to them putting it in the same container as my hot food. Score!
This location is located in the Ivy walk live/​play/​work development. Very nice area at the corner of Atlanta road and Cumberland pkwy/​east west connector depending on the direction you are going.

If I’m not happy with the way you treat me. I’ll avoid you. And for the past 6 months I did just that with Little Azio — Vinings until yesterday. I was hungry, it was close and so there I went back to the same olé restaurant that provided me a lipstick stained glass last spring. But this time it was ok. The dishs were clean and just to be safe I rinsed them out with hot water.
Looks like they rid themselves of the college kids who more than likely thought I wouldn’t notice the glass was dirty in the firstplace. This too, put me at ease and the pizza was just as delicious as I remembered. I swear Truffle oil can make any horrid dish fabulous.
At any rate I’m a fan again. And thank goodness. Haven’t found a better Pizza place in Atlanta yet. Any suggestions?

I would call the Little Azio chain, «fast food Italian.» They serve pasta, salads, panini’s, and pizza. I must admit, I was impressed with their wood burning oven for their pizzas. I wondered if their pizzas were up to par with Antico. I was tempted to try the pizza, but I decided to get what I was craving for – some cheap pasta.
I tried their American classic, spaghetti and meatballs and fettuccine Rustica.
I found their spaghetti and meatball sauce to be too winey. I don’t mean they were complaining, I meant it tasted like wine. Sure, wine is a part of the sauce, but I think they used too much. I liked the taste of the meatballs, however. It was soft and tasty.
The rustica sauce was spicy and good. I expected chunks of Italian sausage, not grounded up sausage. I was disappointed in that. Otherwise, it tasted fine.
Our orders came with a free piece of bread roll. It tasted like your average bread roll you can get anywhere.
The people who worked there were very courteous and nice. It was almost Chick Fil’ A like. It wasn’t bad for cheap, fast-​food Italian. It reminded me of Maggiano’s.

Little Azio Smyrna is located in the popular Ivy Walk development. This neighborhood has a village-​like atmosphere and also includes restaurants such as J. Christopher’s, South City Kitchen, and Muss and Turner’s. With as much parking as this place has, there are times when it can be difficult to find a space because so many businesses operate out of this community (retailers, salons, spa, dance studio, art school, etc.). This place seems busiest around noon.
Little Azio is a fast casual Italian chain with a handful of locations in metro Atlanta. They offer affordable pizzas and pastas. Almost every item on the menu is under $ 10 each. The pizzas and pastas are highly customizable from the toppings of the pizza (roughly 30 topping selections) to the type of pasta (fettuccine, rigatoni, penne, spaghetti, angel hair, wheat noodle, gluten free). Additionally, they serve nice salads, panini and hoagie sandwiches, and piadina (Italian flatbread) wraps.
I stopped by here on a Saturday around lunchtime and the restaurant got bum rushed with customers. There were only four employees working: one on the register, one server delivering orders, and two cooks. At its peak, the line almost went out the door. The staff worked fast and efficiently. The line took a while to move, but once through, it didn’t take long for our orders to come out. Kudos to them for handling the demand so well.
I tried the 12-​inch Chicken Sausage pizza ($ 8.95) which was a thin crust pizza that came with chicken sausage, tomato sauce, mushrooms, and mozzarella and Fontina cheese. I also had the Pesto pasta ($ 8.50) which was a purée of basil, garlic, walnuts, and Parmesan cheese. I chose angel hair as my pasta type and also added chicken to the meal (+$ 2.95).
Overall, not bad. The 12-​inch pizzas are personal pan pizzas. If hungry, a single person can easily eat one of these all by themselves. On the flip side, these pizzas can also easily be shared amongst two people. The chicken sausage was smoky and packed a distinct flavor. Crust was appetizing and not too doughy.
The Pesto pasta was surprisingly mild in flavor, but that was OK. I still enjoyed it and would order it again. It was heavy on oil. Towards the end of my meal, the entire bottom of the bowl had a thick layer of olive oil. This was perfect for dabbing the two breadsticks that came with the bowl and using the pizza crust to soak some of it up. I love olive oil, so I thought this was pretty good. If they added fresh garlic to this dish, it would be absolutely delicious.
This Little Azio location has ample seating inside. The booths are extra long so each can seat groups larger than four. Plenty of tables inside. Limited outdoor patio seating is also available. There’s a TV inside with a semi-​open kitchen. You can check out their oven while waiting in line to order. Red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese bottles are provided at each table.
