The Pizza Joint

Dood and I lived out of the Marriott in downtown Augusta for a few months. During this time, we were able to walk to downtown each weekend and indulge in downtown living. The great thing about downtown Augusta is that it isn’t too busy and it’s a great way to window shop and support the local businesses.

Some friends and I had gone to The Pizza Joint one night before the David Copperfield show and I wanted to let Dood try it out.

The Pizza Joint is located at 1245 Broad Street, Augusta, GA and the place to stop for a fast, no frills slice of pie. They also have locations in Evans and Aiken, GA. I have not had the opportunity to check out the other two locations. Don’t expect fine dining here – the service isn’t always the fastest or most attentive, but you get what you pay for here. They have a great selection of Pizza, Calzones, Specialty Pies, Sandwiches and of course, Beer. After all, what is pizza without the beer?!

This time around, I ordered the Tree Hugger, which has artichokes, black olives, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, tomatoes; while Dood – the meat lover that he is had the stromboli. We had a side order of New Castle to compliment our great food.

We managed to snag a seat outside with the entourage of people that we met up with. I highly recommend a seat outside during the spring and fall if you can grab one! The Pizza Joint is set back off of Broad Street so that you can enjoy the downtown life, without the up close personal experience of all the passer Byers and cars.
