Spring has settled in nicely and Summer is just around the corner, so who can blame you if the idea of cooking in a warm kitchen becomes less appealing as the temperature rises. Where do you go when you have kids anxious to eat and no idea what to cook? Check out Vintage Pizzeria in Chamblee! Located in a non-descript building of condos, this local pizzeria is a big favorite of families all over the area.
There is a family side and an over 18 side, divided by a large bar, so you don’t have to worry if your kids are a little loud during the meal, everyone around you will have kids. Their pizzas range from the unusual, like the blue pie, with blue cheese and buffalo sauce (a spicy favorite in our house!), Hawaiian pizza and BBQ pizza, to the traditional cheese and pepperoni. For those who want something a little less cheesy, there are pasta and salad dishes to choose from as well. While most of the seating is inside there are a few tables outside, so get there early to snag one of those!
Don’t fill up on pizza, because the best part comes after – head across the street to The Frosty Caboose, a repurposed caboose train, and get some local Greenwood ice cream, which has been produced in Chamblee for over 50 years! Located right on the train track so you can sit and watch the trains go by, and a stones throw away from the Peachtree Dekalb Airport, so you can also see planes as they are coming in for a landing. With that much excitement who needs to go anywhere else?
