Welcome to Rough Cut, in which our dining team (Beth McKibben and Sarra Sedghi) offer their first impressions on the food, vibe, and service at restaurants around Atlanta.

If you find yourself on the Eastside Beltline near New Realm Brewing on a Tuesday or Friday night, Beth advises stopping by Burle’s Bar for a cocktail and pizza from Phantom Pizza stationed on the patio. Need a bonus incentive? 🍕🍸
Tuesday nights at Burle’s also features live jazz.

Smaller in size, but similar in ingredient style to Neapolitan pizza, Phantom’s pies can easily be eaten by one very hungry person, or shared as a snack with two or three people.

Phantom’s crusts strike a happy medium between New York-style fold-and-eat-slices and the crispy thin-crust structure of tavern-style pizzas found in the Midwest.

Beth ordered the pepperoni, topped with mozzarella and Grana Padano cheese and cup-and-char Spotted Trotter pepperoni ($20). Chunks of tomato in the sauce provide a little burst of tangy sweetness. 🍅

➡️Check out slide 4 for Beth’s Rough Cut. And Beth says she’ll definitely be back for more from this pizza pop-up. Cheers!🥂
