DaVinci’s Pizza Opening in Old Decatur Mellow Mushroom Space

As some of you noted in last Friday’s FFAF, DaVinci’s Pizza – which currently has a location along West Peachtree in Midtown – has begun hanging signage where Mellow Mushroom once resided along West Ponce.  (Reference my terrible picture above.)

You can check out their current menu HERE.

    2. Slice & Pint over at Emory Village (in the old Everybody’s space) has excellent pizza and is a surprisingly good brew pub given the short amount of time it has been open. Most every pint I’ve drank has been superb.

    3. It’s been a while since I’ve been over there, but I’m pretty sure I remember the Midtown location having beer and wine, at least.

  12. Never was good at math, but it seems like the 20 in. pizzas deliver about 50-60% more pizza than the 16 in. pizzas, but cost twice as much.

    2. Price per square (round!) inch, you are right! Your best deal is actually what they call the Extra Large at about 11.5 cents. That pesky pi makes the Great da Vinci and the Small cost the same per square inch at about 14.5 cents.

  18. Bright side, can of soda is a buck. 2 liter for $2.50. They gotta pay the taxes. It’s all for the children.

    2. Unfortunately no sales tax goes to the city, and many of the commercial properties are terribly undervalued on their property tax assessments. I have snooped online at a few of the popular establishments and will say that they make no sense at all. The commercial properties may or may not be paying their fair share, and the sales tax that is collected at the busy establishments does not go to Decatur. The idea that increasing the commercial taxable properties is gonna fix everything is a bit off or at least not realistic the way it stands now. I wish there were a way to levy a 2 cent city wide sales tax on alcohol and soda sales (or something like that) that went straight to the city and schools. That way the volume of restaurant traffic we see in this city would benefit the city and schools in a more fair, direct way. Maybe one of you lawyers on this blog can tell me why that can’t be done.

        1. Seems like a sin tax of cents on the alcoholic drink could be one form of taxation that the legislature could support- though they would want the biggest cut of any generated income.

      2. Might be easier for the City to hire a Luca Brasi type to head into Cakes & Ale, etc., and say “nice restaurant you got here, would be a shame if something were to happen to it.”

      3. My understanding is one percent of sales taxes in Dekalb goes to schools (specifically for capital projects – not operations) and Decatur gets a share. That continues as long as the county voters continue to pass the SPLOST when it comes to a vote.

        1. I think you’re right but, at least in practice, this seemingly simple arrangement requires a decade of litigation to get paid.

      4. “The commercial properties may or may not be paying their fair share,”

        If this is true, and I don’t doubt it is, why not propose fixing this problem instead of proposing a “sin tax”? For example, the City could do its own assessments again. That’s much more realistic than any kind of sales tax happening.

        1. The city wont do their own assessments. The Dekalb assessor’s office handles that and the ga dept. Of revenue oversees it.

  22. Whatev’s.

    Outside of a pizza joint opening and a Waffle House going in, here is some truly incredible news for downtown Decatur:

    If you have been to the Westside, or from Columbus, Ohio, you should know about her. Oh, and her cookbooks.
