Delicious Pizza

The pizza at Atomic Pie can’t be categorized. “I call it Long Island, Sicilian, grandma-style, Midwestern, all-American pizza,” says owner Tim Allen Cole. “I just threw them all together.” Cole has been in the pizza business for 35 years, having previously worked with Campisi’s. About a year ago, he embarked on his own venture with a new concept for Lake Highlands, a neighborhood with a lot of roofs but not much retail, he says. “I took the chance, and it worked out. We’ve been here a year, and we’ve met a lot of great people. That’s the best part of staying in business.” The pizza is oval-shaped with catchy and peculiar names such as “the white extremist,” an Alfredo pizza topped with gourmet cheeses; and the “the mama mafia,” a simple tomato, basil and feta pie. Meat lovers should go for “the power of the people,” which comes with sausage, pepperoni, salami, Canadian bacon, hamburger and breakfast bacon. You also can build your own pizza.
